Hong Kong's new giants

The next day.

Lin Zuhui pushed the octopus off his body, and clicked it three times.

"Get up, wait for me to get dressed, I have to go to work."

The eyes of the three women, who were originally dazed, brightened a lot in an instant, and then they stood up one after another, and they were all white in an instant, and the scenery was very charming.But yesterday was very tiring, so Lin Zuhui was naturally calm and turned a blind eye.

After breakfast, when saying goodbye, Lin Zuhui arranged: "In the next three days, I will visit your villas separately, Li Zhi's home tonight."

Zhang Min jokingly said: "Sister Nali can't steal it!"

Li Zhi immediately delivered the words of tiger and wolf, but Zhou Huimin looked at Lin Zuhui quietly.

It doesn't matter if you want to steal it, Lin Zuhui thought in his heart, after all, he will stay in Singapore for five days, and it happens to arrange two big battles.

……

In the office building of Suntec City.

Lin Zuhui, Yuan Tianfan, and several senior executives of the New Era Group (Sing Tao) are having a meeting in the conference room.New Times Group (Sing Tao), the company that was renamed Haiyu Asia, has more than quadrupled its market value after more than a year of development.

The reason why it is so profitable is, of course, that it has achieved its current results through large-scale capital injection (Central Plaza), fundraising through rights issues, and the [-]% rise in Sing Tao’s stock market index last year.

After the acquisition of this company, Lin Zuhui arranged two investment areas: securities and real estate. Last year, the annual profit was 7.5 million, and the profit of securities alone was 6 million. It can be said that he has gained a lot.

Today, the company's market value is nearly 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its assets are mainly properties. The largest asset is the Central Plaza, which is about to be completed (total investment of 25 billion, with a current market value of about 35 billion); There is still 18 billion liquidity lying around.

Lin Zuhui said: "How is the preparation for the acquisition of Yeoh Hiep Seng Group?"

Yuan Tianfan replied: "Everything is ready, and we will start a blitzkrieg when the market opens, vigorously buying its shares from the secondary market. The current market value of Yeoh Hiep Seng Group is 4 million Singapore dollars (22.8 billion Hong Kong dollars)."

Lin Zuhui said: "I'm afraid it will cost a lot to buy all of them from the secondary market. Although their land in Xiangjiang and Xingdao is worth more than 60 billion, if they can achieve their goals with the most economical acquisition method, that is also the cheapest." OK."

The land is indeed valuable, but Yeoh Hiep Seng Group's poor management, poor profitability, coupled with infighting, the market value is naturally far lower than the company's asset value.

Yuan Tianfan nodded and said: "That's right, so our goal is 40% of the shares. Considering the irreconcilable civil strife in the Yang family, we plan to acquire 25-30% first, and then strive to win the shares of the Yang's opposition. "

At present, New Times Group (Sing Tao) already holds 10% of Yeoh Hiep Seng Group's shares, and it can be said that the victory is already in hand.

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "That's right. In fact, we only need to sit firmly as the major shareholder. We have two purposes for the acquisition, that is, to cooperate with Yang Xiecheng. There are two cooperative projects: first, they are in Bukit Road and Xiangjiang. The land is handed over to us for development; second, the products of Hengchang Beverage and Food Company will be sold overseas through the channels of the Yeoh Hiep Seng Group."

At this time, the top management here has been completely replaced by people who are loyal to the New Era Group, so everyone agrees.

Why did New Times Group (Sing Tao) choose to initiate the acquisition of Yeoh Hiap Seng Group at this time?

That's because at the beginning of the year, the new government announced the development of the Bukit Timah Road area as a high-end residential area, and the original factories were not allowed to remain. Yeoh Hiep Seng Group's factories had to move out within four years.

Sing Tao is a small place with many people, and the planning of each place is planned by the government; because in the view of the new government, if the development is wrong, it will be a great loss to the country.

The government plans, and then real estate developers build properties according to the government's plan.Unlike Xiangjiang, it is planned by real estate developers and then handed over to the Hong Kong government for approval.Of course, the Hong Kong government will also carry out planning in some areas. If the real estate developer does not satisfy him with the planning, he will let you redesign it.

Sing Tao and Hong Kong are both Chinese-dominated areas. Before 2003, Hong Kong’s per capita GDP had always surpassed that of Singapore (Hong Kong’s population was also the largest); after 2003, Singapore completed the overtake and rapidly widened the gap. By 2021 , Sing Tao's per capita GDP is already 7.28 US dollars, and Xiangjiang is only 4.92 US dollars. The gap is so big that it has to be said to be distressing.

Singapore's area is not as large as Xiangjiang, and its population is not as large as Xiangjiang, but it can be said to be the glory of the Chinese people for its rapid development.

To put it bluntly, Singapore's technology industry and industry are becoming more and more powerful; while these two industries in Xiangjiang disappeared directly later.

We must know that in the 60s to 80s, the absolute strength of Hong Kong's technology industry and industry was not weak, and the high land price was only a small part of the reason. After all, there is so much land in the New Territories.In the final analysis, the Hong Kong government did not pay attention to these two industries.

Lin Zuhui feels that the cultural industry he has laid out and promoted (the government is also cooperating, such as setting up subjects in schools, promulgating copyright laws, etc.), may bring tens of billions of dollars of GDP to the future of Xiangjiang.Beyond that, he should be able to do something, but slowly.

This year, because the new government asked Yeo Hiap Seng to move out of the factory, Yang Zhiyao, the head of the Yeoh Hiap Seng Group, approached his long-time friend Zheng Weiqiang and negotiated the transfer of 25.2% to 40% of the Yeoh Hiap Seng Group’s equity to Zheng Weiqiang’s real estate company Wing Tai Group.

After the opposition of the Yang family learned about it, they all accused Yang Zhiyao of cheating, and demanded a public vote. As a result, the deal between Yang Zhiyao and Yongtai was rejected.Wing Tai announced last week that it would abandon the acquisition of Yeo Hiep Seng Group.

There is a way to do this, that is: the second generation of the five brothers of the Yang family established a holding company, and the equity was equally distributed, and a resolution was formed that the equity could only be sold to members of the Yang family.After decades of changes, the number of shares owned by each house varies, but the resolution has not changed, that is, this voting right is equivalent to the law and has the greatest effect.

Therefore, if you want the equity of the Yang family, you must first let the Yang family go to the court by themselves to overturn this voting right.

This is not a problem. Lin Zuhui guessed that the Yang family has come to this point, and they all hate this voting right, so the overthrow is only a matter of time.

However, Lin Zuhui also felt a little uncomfortable seeing the 'failure' of the century-old Yang family.

You know, establishing a thousand-year-old family is his ultimate goal. This is already the case for this century-old family. It seems that the thousand-year-old family is even more difficult.

Yang Xiecheng is not a person's name, but a time-honored brand in the Southeast Asian sauce industry, with a history of 100 years.The founder, Yang Jinglian (1860-1927), was originally from Jinjiang, Fujian. In 1885, Yang Jinglian used 40 silver dollars to open Yang Xiecheng Sauce Garden in Zhangzhou, making and selling it himself.Yang Jinglian has five sons, all of whom graduated from university.

In the 30s, when the Japanese invaded, Yang Jinglian’s eldest son, Yang Tianen, moved overseas for development, first to Xiangjiang, and then to Sing Tao; in 1947, Yang Tianen bought a 10-acre piece of land on Bukit Timah Road, Sing Tao to build a mechanized soy sauce factory.By 1950, the second generation and five brothers of the Yang family had all gathered in Sing Tao, and the family business was flourishing and getting better.

In addition to soy sauce, pickles, and sauces, the Yeoh Hiep Seng Group also produces canned chicken curry, bottled soy milk, and chrysanthemum tea. At the same time, in the 70s, it also obtained the international franchise of Pepsi and set up distribution points in Europe, America, and Asia.Yeoh Hiep Seng has become the king of beverages in Asia, among which Xiangjiang is the main manufacturing and sales base of Yeoh Hiep Seng's series of products.

The second generation worked together, and the third generation "changed". After Yang Tianen's son Yang Zhiyao took power, the other four families were already very dissatisfied with Yang Tianen's sole power for more than half a century. The weekly family meeting became Once a month, either indifference or quarrel.

In order to 'behave well', Yang Zhiyao suppressed the dissatisfaction of the other four houses, so he raised high-tech shrimp, opened a fruit factory in North America, and bought Chongqing Foods in the United States, intending to use his performance to silence the other four houses.

But the reality is cruel. Shrimp farming failed, the performance of the fruit factory was mediocre, and the price of food purchased from Chongqing was too high. They were blamed by the other four.Some members of the Yang family questioned Yang Zhiyao's ability. Some threatened that they were better than him, and some even planned to drive Yang Zhiyao out of office.

As a result, everyone quit the board of directors one after another. In order to disintegrate everyone, Yang Zhiyao recruited new people into the board of directors and actively cultivated his son who returned from studying abroad.

This time he intends to sell the shares to his friend Yongtai, not just to get money from the sale, but to get the shares of his friend's Yongtai Company, which is equivalent to a share exchange.

Needless to say, if the Yang family agrees, Yang Zhiyao can get the greatest benefits, and the rest of the family will lose a lot of benefits.

On the same day, as soon as the Sing Tao stock market opened, New Era Group (Sing Tao) began to vigorously attract shares of Yang Xiecheng, no longer worried about the risk of being exposed.

……

In the afternoon, Lin Zuhui participated in an official meeting, and the deputy governor of the new government, Mr. Long, had a meeting with him.

After talking for a while, Lin Zuhui suddenly said: "Mr. Long, I wonder if the new government is satisfied with the development of Sentosa?"

Sentosa is an island in Sing Tao. It is currently developing tourism, but it is far less successful than the previous life in the 21st century.

Mr. Long was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "At present, developing tourism in Sentosa is a very correct choice. I don't know what Mr. Lin means?"

He was very worried. Lin Zuhui said that he wanted to develop real estate, which was obviously not allowed by the new government.

Then again, Lin Zuhui is the richest man in the world and the glory of the Chinese, and his influence is far beyond the comparison of real estate developers. After all, Lin Zuhui is not a pure real estate developer.

Therefore, the new government also hopes that Lin Zuhui will invest in Sing Tao.

The new government has always been pragmatism. For the small days of the past, while remembering the history, it is actively seeking investment in the small days.

Therefore, although the new government is very conservative in real estate, it also hopes that Xiangjiang real estate developers will invest their funds in Sing Tao.In the 90s, the new prime minister came to power, which also opened up the Sing Tao market, and the control was far less severe.

However, Lin Zuhui seems to remember that Mr. Long strongly intervened in real estate in 1996 and adopted a cooling policy.Although it has been criticized by the international community and public opinion, it did avoid a lot of losses during the Asian financial crisis.

Based on this, in the second half of next year, Lin Zuhui will have to consider letting his women clear out Xingdao's property investment.

Lin Zuhui said: "The development of tourism is indeed very correct, but I have investigated several times and found that the residents of Sing Tao are not particularly willing to come to Sentosa for consumption. Their evaluation is: it is expensive and there is nothing to see."

Mr. Long is a sincere person, so he said: "There are indeed some factors. I don't know what advice Mr. Lin has? Our new government must listen to the advice with an open mind."

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I don't have any great opinions. After all, I am not a professional talent, but I think that if a top talent is invited to re-plan, differentiate and specialize the entire island and the coastal areas of Southeast Asia...to develop, Maybe it can become the world's top resort. Such a talent, who has run Disney's top management, must be the best candidate."

Mr. Long quickly said: "Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books. Sentosa's tourism industry is indeed not as it should be. If it can be repositioned, it will indeed be able to radiate new impetus."

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Thank you for listening to my opinion! In fact, if the new government intends to redevelop Sentosa, I also have a project that I would like to join."

Mr. Long said: "I would like to hear the details."

Lin Zuhui said: "I recently asked my hotel group to plan a world-class luxury hotel brand. I call him 'Atlantis Hotel'. The name of this hotel comes from the underwater kingdom of ancient Greek mythology. And I I am trying to build a seven-star hotel and a water world amusement park..."

This project is one of Lin Zuhui's dreams, that is to build the world's most luxurious and unique hotel and enhance the family heritage.

It is definitely impossible to make money, and it is very difficult to make money by opening a luxury hotel.But the investment is actually not big. In the previous life, Atlantis Dubai only invested 15 billion US dollars.

It’s only 120 billion Hong Kong dollars, Lin Zuhui really doesn’t care about it now, but if he can develop the “Atlantis Hotel” brand, then Singapore, Dubai, Sanya, three seven-star hotels around the world will be enough to make Lin Zuhui happy for a while up.

Of course, Lin Zuhui also knows that Singapore needs long-term consideration and planning when dealing with such a large project.He is now pointing out that Singapore will not be officially launched until the financial crisis.

And Lin Zuhui invested at that time, and the project was completed in five years, just entering the era of the Internet and the era of economic rise.

Mr. Long said in admiration: "Mr. Lin is so creative! Don't worry, if our government intends to redesign Sentosa, I will definitely facilitate this investment. After all, it was Mr. Lin who reminded us that there are some problems in the development of Sentosa."

Lin Zuhui said politely: "You are serious. I know that for Xingdao, a country with a small land area and limited resources, any planning error or resource mismatch will be a disaster for its tourism industry. I don't need to mention it. I'm sure you will too."

Mr. Long immediately felt very fond of him, and said, "That's also a good suggestion from you!"

The two sides ended the talks amicably, and Lin Zuhui will attend the official banquet of Sing Tao in the evening.

In recent years, Lin Zuhui intends to build a good relationship with the new government, because Lin Zuhui knows that after the Asian financial crisis, the new government allows foreign banks to have more convenience in Sing Tao, and intends to build a financial city to compete with Xiangjiang.

And Lin Zuhui happened to have a financial group, and it will be much more convenient to use Xingdao as a base to develop the entire Southeast Asian finance.

In addition, Xingdao is regarded as a country of Chinese, and Lin Zuhui also has a natural affection, and plans to open up a branch family here.

Chapter 535 [Premeditated]

In the middle of the night, Lin Zuhui just finished socializing and returned to Li Zhi's villa.

Seeing Li Zhi wearing a cheongsam, showing his figure perfectly, Lin Zuhui was a little drunk, so he was easily tricked.He put the woman in his arms, Lin Zuhui's mouth was emitting a faint smell of alcohol, Li Zhi didn't mind it at all, instead he puffed up his chest and put his feet up to do the French style for 1 minute.

"Want to steal it?"

Lin Zuhui smiled and slapped Li Zhi's buttocks, the tightness outlined by the cheongsam itself was full of sex in an instant.

Li Zhi took Lin Zuhui's hand charmingly, placed it where she was most proud, and said, "Good husband, I think so!"

Good fellow, this woman is indeed a stunner, and the king of kung fu in her previous life has not been wronged.

Li Zhi's figure is indeed very good, so big, but her waist is so thin, it is unimaginable, and her skin is really fair.

If it is BIG, Xiangjiang's Ye Zimei is also BIG, but Lin Zuhui feels that Ye Zimei is not good-looking, and feels incongruous, and her thing is not soft, which means that it is very likely to be fake, even though the woman identified it as real.

But Lin Zuhui knew that the identification of that thing had been played by his ancestors for a long time.

Lin Zuhui teased Li Zhi and said, "Did you solve it yourself while I was away?"

Li Zhi didn't mind this topic at all, put his hand into Lin Zuhui's chest, and said sweetly, "Guess?"

This woman is really good at teasing people.

Of course, Lin Zuhui didn't need to guess. He led Li Zhi to the living room on the second floor. He sat on the sofa, and Li Zhi stood in front of him.

"I don't guess, why don't you show it?"

If Li Zhi didn't agree to it, if she could steal it tonight, she planned to give it a go.

Besides, there is no need to be embarrassed about the relationship between the two, I just want to let this man experience the most beautiful event in the world.

Soon, Li Zhi began to dance, twisting his body, dancing flexibly like a water snake.

Lin Zuhui also enjoyed it, not to mention, the cheongsam can really whet a man's appetite, especially if it is made of high-quality silk.And cheongsam with black silk is not against harmony at all.

Always admiring, Lin Zuhui said at the same time: "Is the child upstairs or downstairs?"

Because it is only a few months old, Lin Zuhui just teases and takes a look, and it doesn't take much time.

"Sleeping with the nanny downstairs tonight, there are only the two of us on the second floor, you can do whatever you want!" Li Zhi tempted.

Good guy, it was premeditated!

He knew Li Zhi well, and she was really popular, but she only did this to a man, not the kind of woman who was easygoing.Therefore, Lin Zuhui is the most reassuring woman in Singapore.Of course, it's just a comparison. In theory, everyone is loyal to Lin Zuhui.

Li Zhi was very provocative in front of Lin Zuhui, and in the end Lin Zuhui was not polite, got up and led her to the aisle on the second floor.Here, the hall on the first floor can be seen, and the sight can make people's adrenaline climb.

It's like the leak accidents in the previous life, all happened in front of the French windows of high-rise buildings, such as the Zhang Jinyu incident, and the earlier Lujiazui incident, all happened in front of the French windows. Rich people like the French windows of high-rise buildings.

Because of this, the top few floors of the world's highest altitude residence, Diligende Pavilion Three, have been requisitioned by Lin Zuhui and will not be rented out.

Enjoy the scenery and do what you like on it, just like a general who has won a battle.

Cheongsam and kimono are relatively convenient clothes, and Lin Zuhui can easily control them. There is nothing inside the black stockings, so it is easy to enter the door.

……

On Wednesday, public opinion in Sing Tao was in an uproar, because New Times Group (Sing Tao) officially jumped out of the foreground and announced the acquisition of Yeoh Hiep Seng Group, and claimed to have a 15.8% holding, making it the largest shareholder other than the Yang family.

All of a sudden, the media used the word "award-winning raptor" to describe Lin Zuhui of New Era Group.Because everyone knows that Lin Zuhui has been carrying out some activities in Xingdao these days, and he is suspected of personally taking over the Yang Xiecheng Group.

At the end of 1992, New Times Group acquired a listed company in Singapore, which caused a great sensation in the media at that time.Because Lin Zuhui's reputation is too loud, it is impossible to keep a low profile.

Of course, Lin Zuhui is not the first Xiangjiang businessman to acquire a listed company in Singapore. The Bao Yugang family once fully acquired the Marco Polo Hotel listed in Singapore.However, this hotel was originally an associate company of Wharf.

In this way, Lin Zuhui is the first Xiangjiang businessman to "hostilely acquire" a listed company in Singapore.

It was comparable to the acquisition of Wheelock by Yau Teck Puat, a wealthy Singaporean, but certainly not as exciting.

However, I just don't know if there is a local snake in Singapore to stop Lin Zuhui's acquisition?

Obviously, if there is a local snake to stop it, the only possibility is to take over the shares of the Yang family faction, so that it is possible to fight against the New Era Group.

Therefore, it will not appear in a while, because the Yang family has not yet gone to the court to apply for invalidation of the 'voting right'.

So, can the Yang family bridge the relationship between several families when foreign enemies appear?
