Hong Kong's new giants

"What does Lin Zuhui mean? As far as we know, he cashed out a large amount of stock trading funds at the peak last year. Logically speaking, he should be happy for the Hong Kong stock market to crash, so that he can buy bottoms! Looking at it now, he is always at the key Always guard the Hang Seng Index." Soros whispered.

The assistant thought for a while and said: "Based on the current situation, maybe he just wants to protect his one-acre three-point land. For example, last time it was for his five listed companies; but this time, he took the opportunity to annex a hundred Plus, he has a very good personal relationship with the boss of Peregrine. Therefore, he did not directly participate in it. After all, as a shrewd businessman, he is also waiting for the Xiangjiang stock market to plummet to a certain level, and then buy the bottom."

From the perspective of Wall Street, financial people are cold-blooded. Even if there is an opportunity to short US stocks, as long as there is enough profit, everyone will do it.And Lin Zuhui is also a top financial speculator, there is no reason why.

Soros nodded and said with satisfaction: "Your analysis is very reasonable. From this point of view, Lin Zuhui is not an opponent, he just wants to fish in troubled waters. Tomorrow will follow the plan, and this time we must break through 10000 points. Now, the four little dragons Only Xiangjiang is left, it's time to concentrate on dealing with Xiangjiang!"

Singapore, South Korea, and Japan are almost over, and now the goal of international speculators is Xiangjiang.

The assistant said: "Okay, I'll go get in touch, everyone will work together tomorrow!"

……

Peregrine Corporation.

Lin Zuhui brought the president of Barings Bank, Andre, and the four directors stationed in Peregrine to the conference room of Peregrine, and held a meeting of the Peregrine board of directors.

The first thing, Lin Zuhui unceremoniously dismissed the four directors headed by Du Huilian.

Du Huilian looked at his old partner Liang Botao in a complicated way, because when the two sides negotiated the terms, they didn't mention the dismissal of the four directors at all.Obviously, Liang Botao knew about this, after all he knew the relationship between Liang Botao and Lin Zuhui, just like his relationship with Li Chaoren.

Lin Zuhui said solemnly: "Mr. Du Huilian, what you need to understand is that once Peregrine goes bankrupt, the Xiangjiang court will definitely pursue the legal responsibilities of the four of you. At that time, there will be no place for you in the Xiangjiang business community. Therefore, we are only releasing you. The board of directors has already done the best of benevolence."

In fact, after the follow-up examination revealed specific evidence of Du Huilian's dereliction of duty by the four directors, a public bombardment was indispensable.At that time, the four of them will also become a joke in the Hong Kong business community.

Du Huilian is responsible for more than half of Peregrine's current situation, because Liang Botao is responsible for the listing of mainland companies in Hong Kong and Hong Kong's local business, while Du Huilian is the "king" of Southeast Asia. some losses), Du Huilian is the culprit.

Liang Potao cannot be said to have no responsibility, he is the chairman of the board of directors of Peregrine after all.Therefore, Liang Botao is also a 'sinner', and Lin Zuhui dared to use this kind of aggressive talent because all his subordinates were acting in line with Lin Zuhui's general policy, and there was no chance to advance aggressively.

Du Huilian originally wanted to quibble, but he found that under Lin Zuhui's majesty, he could not summon up the courage at all.Losers, where does the courage come from?

After the four people left the meeting room, Lin Zuhui announced: "Bahrain Bank will appoint four directors, and Peregrine will continue to be led by Mr. Liang Botao."

The other directors applauded sincerely, because the settlement of Barings Bank represented the improvement of Peregrine's situation.You know, Lin Zuhui is an expert in "turning waste into treasure". From China Commercial Bank to Barings Bank, it's not that after bankruptcy, it was revived under Lin Zuhui's hands.

If Peregrine is saved, it means that the directors who hold the shares are saved. Once they go bankrupt, they will get nothing at all.

Then, Lin Zuhui arranged: "The first thing: the entire Asian economy will deteriorate this year. What should Peregrine do, you should think about it yourself.

"Second thing: After tomorrow's decisive battle, the Hang Seng Index will usher in a wave of "Xiaoyangchun" technical rebound. Peregrine is going to sell the shares of Guangsheng Bank to my LEIT Group, so that we can truly alleviate the crisis. Fortune's crisis."

Kwong Sang Hong owns many cosmetics brands, such as 'Shuangzhu', 'Liushen' and 'Yashuang' which were popular in Shanghai at that time, although the mainland also has a brand right; however, the brand rights of mainland companies cannot be released Mainland, because the world only recognizes the brand rights of Heung Kong Company.

Just like Wang Laoji in the previous life, his descendants registered trademarks all over the world, and Cantonese medicine could not be exported at all.After all, one is forcible confiscation and the other is family inheritance.

Next, everyone expressed their opinions, of course, they all expressed their views on Lin Zuhui's framework.

Liang Botao said: "In this way, there will be more than 5 million cash flow, and we can keep some beneficial bonds to avoid excessive losses. At the same time, the business channels in Southeast Asia must be temporarily preserved."

Andre nodded and echoed: "As long as it is an investment banking business channel, it is the cornerstone of future development and cannot be cut off."

Once you have enough capital, you can keep some of your assets and business.Barings sends four directors to review these.

Of course, Peregrine will still be privatized, but the time is not yet available; after the privatization, Barings Bank will arrange for Liang Botao to be the vice president of Barings Bank, and be responsible for the Asian business of the two companies.

Barings Bank spent 15 million U.S. dollars for the stake in Peregrine this time, but in the account of Bahrain Bank, it was more than [-] billion U.S. dollars, which did not affect the company.On the contrary, after absorbing Peregrine, Barings Bank has become a world-class investment bank.

In the future, Barings Bank will become an important weapon in the hands of Lin Zuhui.

……

The next day, another battle broke out in the Xiangjiang stock market - international speculators VS mysterious opponents.

International speculators sold a large number of shorts, intending to break through 10000 points. This is something that many investors understand.

The hall of a securities company.

"It's too bad, it's already fallen below 10200 points, and 10000 points can't be kept!"

"Not necessarily, it's already afternoon. Today, the stock market has performed very well due to the news of 'Bahrain Bank taking over Peregrine'!"

"No, it's easy to panic selling in the late trading, and it's not easy to keep 10000 points!"

Investors anxiously looked at the electronic display screen, and cursed the old mother of international speculators.

Suddenly someone said: "Look, there seems to be a lot of buy orders at 10200 points, which have been pegged here for a long time!"

All of a sudden, everyone discovered this abnormality one after another. At this time, international speculators must be selling a lot of shorts. After all, their goal is to urgently reach 10000 points.But this is not the case at this time. As soon as the Hang Seng Index breaks through 10200 points, it will quickly pull back above 10200 points.

"There is a lot of money buying the bottom!"

"Yes, is there a technical rebound!"

"Under this kind of market, we must seize the technical rebound and then make a profit!"

For a while, many veteran stock speculators began to buy the bottom one after another.

At this time, international speculators also discovered that a large amount of funds were released at 10200 points, and the appearance of about 20 billion funds in an hour really surprised everyone.

Everyone tried to attack several times, but found it was futile. This force didn't seem to be 'sloppy' at all.Later, a large amount of funds were added, and the Hang Seng Index actually started to rebound.

In the end, it was already 10500 points at the close, much higher than the expectations of international speculators.

"Who is it?" All international speculators are asking.

Quantum Fund.

Soros' assistant immediately informed him of the situation.

"It seems that the guy is buying the bottom, I'm sure." Soros smiled.

The assistant asked: "The boss doesn't seem to have any regrets?"

Soros said: "Why am I regretful? You must know that we have sniped the Hang Seng Index by 1700 points this time, from 12250 points to 10500 points. Didn't we make a profit?"

The assistant was stunned, and immediately smiled and said: "Yes, we made a profit again, of course we won. Once again, the Hang Seng Index will definitely break through 10000 points!"

Soros said confidently: "Next time, see you at 4000 points. We will make the Hang Seng Index only 25% of its peak value. But for the next decisive battle, we will prepare for a while. These two times were a bit rushed, so it was just a trial."

The assistant said in admiration: "Yes, Xiangjiang has become our cash machine, and Xiangjiang investors are already afraid of us. Being timid without fighting is their biggest loophole."

For Lin Zuhui's behavior, Soros felt that he had guessed his mind, that is to take advantage of the low price, the essence is for his own benefit, not to save the market.

Both sides are thinking, Soros is speculating on Lin Zuhui, why isn't Lin Zuhui scheming international speculators.

Both times he was careful not to appear to have a lot of money.

His real purpose is to cooperate with the decisive battle between the HKMA and international speculators, and force the Hang Seng Index to go up.At that time, nearly 600 billion funds will be a huge force.

Of course, after the attack in January, Xiangjiang's economy was hit again.After all, the HKMA raised bank interest rates and peer-to-peer interest rates, causing real estate and the economy to fall again.

Chapter 616 [Classic]

Tuesday, July 1.

New Era Group, Chairman's Office.

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Bin, the president, reported earnestly: "Not to mention the 10% drop in Heung Kong's properties, the important thing is that the market is very panicked. In addition, at the beginning of the month, Sun Hung Kai announced that it would suspend the construction of [-] sites, and Heung Kong's financial market was attacked by international speculators. , the real estate industry is mourning, and major real estate developers are also very pessimistic about Xiangjiang Real Estate. This time, everyone may bid at a very low price for the Ma’anshan hotel lot.”

He analyzed these in the hope that the boss would give a reasonable price so as not to overbid and make the peers laugh.My own boss can make money, but spending money is also a bit extravagant.

The 'Ma'anshan Hotel Lot', as Chen Bin calls it, covers an area of ​​8.6 square feet. It was originally planned to be launched in March last year, but the plan was postponed because the City Planning Commission had to deal with objections to building a hotel on the lot.

And this month, the real estate market is in a downturn. In order to avoid affecting the market sentiment, the Hong Kong government has turned to a low-key bidding method for sale.

Lin Zuhui thought about this piece of land in his heart. Hotels are not allowed to be built, but 60.28 square feet of residential buildings can be built.Properties in the same area should cost only 5000 to 6000 yuan per square foot at present, but at this price, no real estate developer dares to guarantee the sale, because now there is no market for the price, and it is difficult to sell the house.In the future, it will be reduced by another [-]%, and everyone believes it.

So obviously, everyone will enter the bid at a low price, and the idea of ​​picking up the miss is all.

The bidding is still very challenging. If the bid is too high, people will laugh, and if the bid is too low, they will worry about missing the opportunity.

Although it is only a small piece of land, Lin Zuhui speculates that if the property plummets again, major real estate developers may ask to freeze the "official land auction", so picking up missing land is not an easy task.

It is very simple to find missing properties. There are still many properties for sale in the market, but the key is that no one dares to buy them.

"What price do you think is right?" Lin Zuhui asked.He suddenly felt that he was not as good as these majors in this respect.

Chen Bin thought for a while and said, "How about we try to offer a low price, how about 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars?"

Lin Zuhui was taken aback, and said, "250 yuan per square floor land price?"

The construction cost of building a square foot floor is between 1400 and 2000 yuan. If only the floor price of 250 yuan is added, the total cost will be about 2000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot.

Chen Bin nodded, and said: "Raising the price now will definitely not be conducive to our bottom-hunting real estate; in addition, the major real estate developers are obviously bearish on Xiangjiang Real Estate, and will bid at a low price! Even if we lose this land, At least it's better than raising it."

This price was quite different from Lin Zuhui's bid, but he felt that what Chen Bin said was reasonable, and it was a good choice for New Era Group not to win the bid for this piece of land.Once the bid is won at a high price, it will not only make people laugh, but also have to be held in their hands.

"Okay, just do what you say!" Lin Zuhui said decisively.

He has given up on this piece of land in his heart, but he has no regrets, after all, it has to plunge once, which is the best bargain in real estate.

Soon, the tender was ready and sent to the Hong Kong government by senior staff.

Xiangjiang Real Estate is so corrupt, I believe that Mr. Dong's '85000 plan' has actually been shelved, otherwise it would make the real estate worse.

After Chen Bin left, Lin Zuhui looked at the stocks on the computer. Today, it really is a technical rebound, and it has risen to 10900 points. It seems that it is safe to go up to 11000 points.

As the saying goes, "Xiaoyangchun", Xiangjiang stock market may usher in a wave of rising in February and March, and it is very possible to break through 13000 points this time.

Next, Yuan Tianfan came to Lin Zuhui's office again.

"Boss" Yuan Tianfan sat on the sofa respectfully, looking at his boss.

At this time, he had a doubt in his mind, that is, whether the boss had expected Peregrine to be acquired by Barings Bank five years ago.

The reason is that when I joined the New Era Group, the boss once said, "Liang Botao, who is the boss, may not be richer in the future than you, who will be an executive for me."

Assuming that Peregrine goes bankrupt this time, Liang Potao really has 'nothing' and becomes a wage earner. (Nowadays it is not bankruptcy acquisition, but direct capital injection; bankruptcy acquisition may be cheaper, but there are too many uncertainties; moreover, business will also be lost, so Barings directly chooses 50:50 capital injection)

At that time, he did have a thought in his heart that he was the boss of Liang Potao and Du Huilian during the time of Huo Duoli; later he became the chairman of the Stock Exchange, and the two became the bosses of listed companies.He has a higher status, but after he left the chairman of the stock exchange, he immediately became a wage earner. This is obviously a bit of a gap in his heart, especially seeing Liang Botao and Du Huilian become billionaires and bosses of listed companies.

Later, the boss treated the couple very well, and he gradually extinguished the idea of ​​being the boss.Today, he already has a net worth of over [-] million, and he has become accustomed to the position of an executive of a large company.

Lin Zuhui nodded, and then said directly: "I want to buy San Miguel Beer, you can do it!"

Yuan Tianfan immediately said: "Okay, I will prepare the materials first, and then I will give you a plan!"

Lin Zuhui said: "I have a general understanding. San Miguel, which is listed in Xiangjiang, belongs to the Philippine San Miguel Group, and its parent company holds 56% of the shares."

Yuan Tianfan was taken aback, and immediately said: "The boss wants to buy directly from San Miguel Group? I'm afraid it will be difficult. After all, there is San Miguel Beer first, and then San Miguel Group; and now San Miguel Group is a large consortium in the Philippines, involving various aspects. Even if there is a financial crisis in Southeast Asia, they probably won’t sell San Miguel.”

Lin Zuhui said: "If you don't sell it, grab it!"

Yuan Tianfan choked, the boss said there was a big problem, how to grab it?

Others are local snakes in the Philippines. Although San Miguel is listed in Xiangjiang, others hold more than 50% of the shares, so there is no chance at all.

However, Lin Zuhui soon added: "As far as I know, the San Miguel Group is involved in open and secret struggles between two families, the founder family 'Soriano family', and the local political powerhouse 'Xu Huange family'; so, you Arrange to absorb the stocks of the Philippine San Miguel Group, our stocks are the bargaining chips at critical moments!"

It's almost a clear robbery, but this is a normal business behavior - an exchange of conditions.

Yuan Tianfan was a little surprised, because the founder's family of San Miguel Group should still be in power at present. According to the boss's guess, it is that Xu Huan's family wants to retake San Miguel Group (with the support of the President of the Philippines, they used the support of the founder's two families to Contradictions, he was in charge of the San Miguel Group from 1980 to 1986, and later returned to the Soriano family because he had to flee abroad), and the boss in Xiangjiang could guess that the two sides would confront each other, so I have to admire the boss's foresight.

In fact, Lin Zuhui didn't know it, but he seemed to remember that San Miguel Group was in the hands of the Chinese, and now it was in the hands of a European colonial family. Obviously there would be a big war.What is the best time, of course, is the Asian financial crisis.

But in any case, the San Miguel Group of later generations is the largest consortium in the Philippines, and now it absorbs the shares of its parent company, making sure that it will not lose money.

"Okay, I will arrange for the company to start secretly buying shares of San Miguel."

"Well, for the San Miguel listed companies in Xiangjiang, don't absorb them for the time being, they are not stable yet! Moreover, absorbing shares will only scare the snake, and it will not be able to influence the result."

Yuan Tianfan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!"

The biggest advantage of working with the boss is to know the direction of real estate and the stock market, he thought so.In the first half of last year, he asked his wife to sell the property, and his wife was a little reluctant. Now his wife is amazed every day, thanks to the early sale.

After Yuan Tianfan left, Lin Zuhui smiled.

In fact, New Times Group has dealt with San Miguel before. In 1994, San Miguel sold the land of its Sham Tseng Hai Brewery to New Times Group at a price of 35 billion, and San Miguel’s factory has moved to Yuen Long Industry village.

San Miguel used to be one of the three major beer groups in Asia, but in the 50s and 10s, it acquired the only beer factory in Xiangjiang, and then began to gain a foothold in Asia; in recent years, San Miguel has gone downhill, and its share in Asia has gradually decreased , the market value is currently only about [-] billion.

Lin Zuhui’s acquisition of San Miguel was just to enter the beer industry; after the acquisition, he first restructured San Miguel and tried to make a good marketing effort to return to the top of the Asian brand; business.

With San Miguel as a listed company, New Era Group can also participate in the merger of Budweiser and InBev, the world's largest beer in the future, hold its stock and wait for the appreciation. This is the best shortcut to make a fortune properly.

……

The next day, the Hong Kong government announced that New Era Group had won the bid for the Ma On Shan hotel site at a price of HK$1.5 million.

The price of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars is a "classic" in the auction history of Hong Kong real estate.

The land price is equivalent to 1700 yuan per square foot, and the land price per square foot is 250 yuan, which is very unbelievable.

For example, the Dapu lot (10 square feet of land) was auctioned in late October last year. The New Times Group won it at a floor price equivalent to 98 yuan.Because it is a high-end residential project and the land area is huge, Lin Zuhui really wanted to photograph it.

"Boss, what do you think the second price is? Which real estate company is it?" Chen Bin said with a smile.He actually won the bid, which made him very happy, after all, it was a real scam.
