Hong Kong's new giants

As for what should fall, it will still fall. The profit margin is too big, and Xiangjiang's current economy cannot support the total market value of 2.7 trillion.So this is the general trend, but few people understand it or choose to believe it.

Lin Zuhui said: "Okay, the money is still in the account of Hengchang Holdings."

Many investments of Hengchang Holdings are currently in the investment period.It is the original trading business (automobile, grain and oil), shipping, and retail that really makes money; while beverages, food, telecommunications, container terminals, medicine, etc. are still in the investment period.

Yuan Tianfan also reported: "New Times (Star City) has also closed all its stock investments. We made a profit of 6.5 million Hong Kong dollars in Singapore securities last year, with 16 billion cash flow on the account and 5.5 million debts... In terms of market value, New Times (Star City) It has exceeded 50 billion Hong Kong dollars...At present, we hold 8.8% of Yeo Hiep Seng's shares, with a total value of 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars."

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "In this way, the strength to annex the Yang Xiecheng Group is sufficient. Of course, the funds are not necessarily idle, you can look at the investment."

Yuan Tianfan nodded and said, "Okay."

For listed companies in Singapore, Lin Zuhui already has a good plan in mind, that is, after annexing the Yeoh Hiap Seng Group (without delisting), he will use it as a holding company to develop comprehensive businesses.And its property assets will be sold to Central Plaza and Huaren Property in the financial crisis.

Because of this, Lin Zuhui fully delegated authority to Yuan Tianfan, allowing him to operate New Era (Star City) for investment and comprehensive business.

After some exchanges, Yuan Tianfan left Lin Zuhui's office. Hengchang Holdings is a large enterprise, and he is very busy every day.

……

After get off work in the evening, Lin Zuhui came to Lin Zixia Villa in Shouson Hill. She had returned to Xiangjiang from the United States.

The car drove into the courtyard of the villa, and soon saw Lin Zixia coming out from the gate of the villa, followed by the eldest son of the two, and a nanny holding the youngest son of the two behind.

The relationship between the two has reached this level, Lin Zuhui is worried that Lin Zixia will bring his two sons to remarry, and it will be embarrassing when the time comes.It is also very simple not to want others to remarry. I set aside one day every month to be alone with each other, and then organize everyone to get together, and no one complains.

So, let alone Lin Zixia who is 40 years old, even Lin Zixia who is 50 years old, Lin Zuhui also has to take care of her.Of course, the 40-year-old Lin Zixia is still attractive, and Lin Zuhui still enjoys it.

As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Zixia came to him. Lin Zuhui picked up their eldest son, Lin Wenyi, with one hand, and put her in his arms with the other.

"Is it more comfortable to live in Hong Kong, or is it more comfortable to live in the United States?"

Lin Zixia only felt soft as soon as she was in this man's arms, and there was also the domineering "Eastern Invincible" he liked. In this man's words, showing her domineering will only increase his desire to fight for the tiger, and in the end Or beg for forgiveness.

"It's comfortable, it's good to live on both sides."

Lin Zuhui nodded, she was not the only one who had this idea.Even Wang Zuxian thinks that she is not used to staying in Canada all the time. She likes to come to Hong Kong to stay with Lin Zuhui.She was scolded and ran away in the previous life, so naturally no one dared to scold her in this life.

So next summer, although everyone has to go to their naturalized countries, they can return to Hong Kong to live at any time, and they will stay in Hong Kong during the winter and summer vacations.

When they came to the restaurant, Lin Zixia had already prepared a sumptuous dinner for Lin Zuhui, of course she wasn't cooking, but she was just giving orders.

During the eating and drinking period, Lin Zuhui asked: "Over there on Taiwan Island, are your identities still there?"

Lin Zixia looked at Lin Zuhui with beautiful eyes, and the food was only slightly moved. These women attach great importance to postpartum recovery in order to compete for favor.

"Here, two identities are allowed over there, so I haven't withdrawn my citizenship!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said, "Isn't this year giving each of you 1.5 million yuan? You and Zu Xianrang invest in the company, buy the shares of Taiwan Hon Hai, and hold them for a long time."

Lin Zixia was a little confused, and asked, "What does Hon Hai do? The two of us buy 3 million shares, will we become major shareholders?"

Lin Zuhui was speechless, and then remembered that this woman no longer cared about making money. Lin Zuhui had full authority to direct and private investment company to execute. She only checked the accounts occasionally.

He explained: "Hon Hai is an industrial stock of Taiwan Island. Its current market value is about 40 billion Hong Kong dollars... How to buy it, I will let someone guide you two private investment companies later."

There are many stocks that Taiwan Island can invest in. TSMC, which will be listed this year, and MediaTek, which will be listed in a few years, are all stocks with a hundred-fold increase.

Lin Zuhui already had enough money, so he planned to give these investments to two locals, Lin Zixia and Wang Zuxian.In other words, the two of them will easily be worth tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, when these stocks really grow up, their children will have graduated from college.

Lin Zixia nodded happily. The money will appreciate in value, and her two sons can inherit it in the future, which feels good.

"Well, why do you know everything?" After speaking, Lin Zixia acted like a nympho.

Of course Lin Zuhui doesn't know how to brag, he is already good enough, there is no need to brag.

"There are so many talents by my side, I'm afraid that some people don't understand! I tell you to buy stocks, but don't move them, no matter how they fall, don't move them, long-term investment. If you need money, just tell me!"

"There will be no shortage of money, as much as you give, we will not argue or quarrel."

After you and I finished eating, the two of them still played with their son for a while, and only did some shameless things in the dead of night.

Chapter 5 Thirty [Do meaningful things]

Beginning in late January.

The "Octopus Bank" building located on Des Voeux Road in Central officially opened, and Lin Zuhui's friends, business partners, and bankers came to congratulate him one after another.

The Octopus Bank Building is a combination of the original Hong Kee Building and the Chinese Bank Building. It is 28 stories high and has a floor area of ​​32.6 square feet.

The current ownership is under New Era Commercial Management, but Lin Zuhui plans to sell it to Octopus Bank at a reasonable price in 1995.

The land cost of this building is just over 10 billion, the construction cost is 8 million, and the total cost is 18 billion.If it is based on the current price of Grade A office buildings in Central, it will be at least 42 billion (unit price 1.3 per square foot).

This building is open on three sides, facing Des Voeux Road, Pottinger Street, and Connaught Road respectively. It is a first-class location.If Lin Zuhui hadn't come to merge the buildings, it would be very difficult for anyone to merge the buildings successfully, and naturally they would not have such a beautiful building.

The first step in merging buildings is to find the right time, and the real estate downturn is the best; of course, finding the real estate downturn is not enough, you have to buy it at a premium; in this way, the owner will sell it to you.

When the Chinese Bank Building was acquired, it was after the sharp drop in [-]. At that time, not only was the market bad, but there were also risks, and the immigration agencies had to queue up.

Lin Zuhui happily entertained all the guests, especially the executives/chairmen of HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and ZG Bank.

Pu Weishi said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, the banker, let us bow down. The development speed of Octopus Bank is really unbelievable. I'm afraid it will be able to wipe out the 'accumulated losses' this year?"

Lin Zuhui pretended not to know, and asked He Changhong, "President He, can you 'turn losses into profits' this year?"

He Changhong smiled and said to Pu Weishi: "I'm afraid it will be close, but our business is developing well, and we are not in a hurry. For us at Octopus Bank, stability is the most important thing."

Everyone can't help but slander in their hearts, stability is the most important thing, so you still speculate in spot gold?

In fact, Proves is most worried not about Octopus Bank threatening HSBC, but about Octopus Bank threatening Hang Seng Bank (subsidiary), because both banks focus on 'personal retail business'.

Pu Weishi said: "Mr. Lin has a talent like President He to assist him. No wonder he manages Octopus Bank very well!"

He Changhong said hastily: "Pu Weisz won the award for the top class. Octopus Bank has achieved today's results. It is the boss's trust in us, coupled with the unity of colleagues." He did not talk about the boss's credit, which is what Lin Zuhui always meant.

Lin Zuhui's idea is very simple. To be a bank is not to be a company. If he involves too much and is not a full-time banker, then there will be disadvantages to the bank itself.

Bank money is bank money, not private money, this is what Lin Zuhui said to himself.

Therefore, Octopus Bank will be listed at the end of 1996, and then expand overseas.

After chatting with a group of bankers, everyone also found that Lin Zuhui really knew very little about Octopus Bank, and they couldn't help but secretly wondered.It is obviously a wholly-owned bank, and it operates like a manager system of a listed company.

After chatting with everyone for a while, Lin Zuhui held a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the invited guests were executives from HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and ZG Bank who cut the ribbon with him, which surprised the media secretly.Everyone finally understood Lin Zuhui's face. He was obviously a competitor, but they all came to support him and do live advertisements.

Octopus Bank finally has a good headquarters!

Lin Zuhui didn't want to be a big bank when he became a bank, but he just wanted to be a part of his own financial group, so that he could complete some financial investment convenience for him in the future.

After the event, Lin Zuhui came to the office on the top floor and sat down to think.

Octopus Bank is definitely going overseas, acquiring foreign banks, or setting up local branches, which are allowed by the policies of almost all countries (important banks must pass the approval at the national level, and there is no big obstacle for small banks).

Of course, Lin Zuhui didn't want to do too much. He mainly wanted to build a banking network around the world to cooperate with Octopus Financial Group's business activities.

As for Octopus Bank, with his golden finger, there will be no mistakes in its 30-year development policy. As for 30 years later, the bank's asset value will be strong enough, and its operations can turn conservative at that time.

Therefore, after the listing of Octopus Bank, it is time to make a full-scale attack.

Octopus Financial Group currently owns three businesses: banking, securities, and insurance. Securities and insurance are only tentative and have not yet been seriously developed.

Lin Zuhui always feels that Octopus Financial Group still lacks a core, yes, it is the core.

Banking, securities, and insurance, to put it bluntly, are service providers, and Lin Zuhui cannot have any sense of accomplishment.

He is a person with golden fingers. If this is the case, even if these three industries are developed and expanded, he still feels that the upper limit is not high, and there is nothing to be happy about.

Correct!

There are Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley in the United States, why doesn't he become an investment bank?

For a long time, Lin Zuhui has been a bit resistant to doing "venture investment", that is because he has enough funds to buy stocks from the secondary market after those companies are listed, which can reduce the risk of his "prophet", so as not to cause him nothing. Can't image.

After all, Softbank was so powerful in the previous life, betting on Yahoo and Ali, and almost went bankrupt in the end; the reason is very simple, because Softbank has invested in hundreds of companies, and some even lost billions of dollars or tens of billions of dollars.

Anyway, Lin Zuhui thinks that being an investment bank is really cool.

For example, Goldman Sachs recently bought a 28% stake in a clothing company, and then they directly replaced the president with their favorite (professional manager).In this way, Goldman Sachs does not need to directly intervene in the operation, but because of their connections, the president in the match is very likely to bring this clothing company to a new height.As for this deal, Lin Zuhui has some memories. Goldman Sachs invested more than one billion U.S. dollars, which seems to have doubled nearly ten times in three years.

This company is a large American clothing company called Ralph Lauren; in view of this, Lin Zuhui also let the second wife and fifth wife buy 2%, and followed Goldman Sachs to earn a wave.

The more Lin Zuhui thinks about it, the more he feels that he should be an investment bank and not allow Wall Street to be so arrogant; of course, Wall Street is not the only one that is bullish, Temasek in Singapore, CICC and CIC in China (the latter two are soy sauce).

However, he feels that he has enough money. After all, he holds about 2% of many US stocks. After 25 years, these stocks may be worth trillions.

The money is enough for the family to pass on, so why do we need so much money?

So, he is distressed and confused recently, does he have no motivation to fight? (PS: Is it Calvin?)

Now Lin Zuhui finally understands that he wants to do more meaningful things!

What does it mean?

The first is to keep the major shareholders of domestic companies such as Alibaba and Penguin, and be their largest investors.

Second, as Softbank and Morgan Stanley of Xiangjiang, they use listed companies to conduct venture capital, which can not only increase the influence of their own families, but also divert attention.

Third, go to the United States and be a venture capitalist in the American Internet such as Yahoo, Amazon (temporary loan), Google, ebay, and Fiede. Of course, you have to spend money. After all, the Internet has no shortage of investors in recent years, it depends on you Whether the conditions are good or not, refer to Softbank’s previous investment in Yahoo, the conditions are so good that the founders such as Jerry Yang are dumbfounded.

Of course, you can't just invest in some familiar Internet companies, but invest in more companies and pretend to win the lottery.

After careful analysis, Lin Zuhui decided to "backdoor listing" first, use listed companies to raise funds, and then do venture capital.

……

The next day, Liang Botao was invited by Lin Zuhui to the office of Octopus Bank Building.

Liang Botao looked at Lin Zuhui's office, and said with a smile: "I don't know what else you can't do. Octopus Bank is now a large bank with a good reputation in Hong Kong, with great potential for development!"

The two have been friends for many years, Liang Botao is very aware of Lin Zuhui's magical powers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a stock god.

Lin Zuhui responded: "You are really right. I really know everything, so I invite you this time because I want you to find a listed company for me. I want to buy it and plan to become an investment bank."

Liang Botao was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "This has greatly increased my pressure!"

Lin Zuhui smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm planning to do venture capital, and I'm going to the United States to find projects!"

Liang Botao said curiously: "With your wealth and ability, wouldn't it be better to use your private investment company, after all, I don't even know that you have lost money in business!"

Lin Zuhui said: "It's a venture capital investment, so it's naturally risky! In addition, I hope to raise a lot of money, so it's best for a listed company to complete it."

Liang Botao thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid it's difficult to raise a lot of money. Although you have a good appeal, the company you're acquiring doesn't have very good assets and profitability, and it can't support a high market value."

Lin Zuhui immediately thought about it, what Liang Botao said makes sense!

He does not want to be a fund company when he does venture capital, but he hopes to raise funds through listed companies instead of raising funds through private equity funds.

Simply put, he hopes it will be Softbank or Berkshire Hathaway, a similar company.

In the end, Lin Zuhui said: "Forget it, you can find a few suitable companies for me, but let's not talk about the acquisition issue, I will find a suitable opportunity to talk about it. The market value, a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars will do. I will make the market later. Bar!"

Hearing about market making, Liang Botao had no doubts and said, "No problem, I'll give you the information later!"

"Um"

After sending Liang Botao away, Lin Zuhui thought about it.

Internet venture capital is not in such a hurry at present, and companies such as Yahoo have not yet been established.As for the problem Liang Botao mentioned, in fact Lin Zuhui already knew how to solve it.

Make a market!

It's very simple. Lin Zuhui used his own money to buy a high-quality asset, and then injected it into the listed company free of charge or with a stock exchange certificate; then the market value of the listed company would skyrocket immediately. At that time, he was issuing new shares. Relying on his reputation as a "stock god", There must have been a lot of responders.

There are two advantages to investing in venture capital through listed companies:

First, it can bring him enough influence. After all, if you invest with a private investment company, it is easy to make people jealous; with Lin Zuhui's ability, if you do venture capital, trillions of assets are no problem.And venture capital is subject to investigation, if it is in the name of a private investment company, it will bring him trouble at that time.

Second, the Lin family holds shares in this investment bank. They can hold part of the shares through some hidden channels, and then hold part of the shares on the surface.

Chapter 531 [Spring Festival]

At the end of January, Lin Zuhui established 'Jingwei Capital' in Xiangjiang.

After repeated thinking, he decided to give up the idea of ​​fundraising at the beginning, and use his own funds to develop investment business, because it is simpler and more efficient.

Jingwei Capital is different from Hengjin Investment, and the direction of investment is different.

Hengjin Investment invests in the secondary market of stocks, while Jingwei Capital will invest in venture capital and primary market.

Jingwei Capital not only invests in the information technology industry, but also invests in other industries, such as mining, energy, and technology industries.

Jingwei Capital, the initial investment capital is 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is almost all the cash flow in the hands of Lin Zuhui.There will be additional investment in the future. After all, he can get a lot of dividends and rental income every year.
