Hong Kong's new giants

Lin Zuhui smiled. After being paralyzed in his previous life, Liu held a press conference, but he gave a lot of information!

For example, he bet on the death of his children and grandchildren, and there were no events such as golf games or meatballs;

For example, his girlfriends in the entertainment industry only accounted for 1%, the stars in the entertainment industry are not good women, and even asked him for a bag after breaking up...

All in all, it's a blast!

After taking a sip of red wine, Lin Zuhui crossed his legs and sat on the sofa.

When everyone gets together, they just play golf, sing K, and pick big D. They play cleanly and there is nothing shameful about it.

During this period, Da Liu took the initiative to shake the news: "That boy Luo Zhaohui, I'm afraid he won't be able to turn over this time, and he still loses hundreds of millions, and people ask him for debts every day! This financial crisis has caused a lot of misery. people."

Everyone discussed this topic one after another, and they all undoubtedly suffered great losses.

Even Zheng Yutong, who doesn't speculate in stocks, has been greatly affected by New World's hotels and commercial properties, and even Chow Tai Fook has been hit hard.

Although Liu Luanxiong has cashed out some properties, he has lost more than 30 billion in the stock market, not to mention the property, he is a big agent; you know, his assets are only more than 100 billion, far from as rich as in his previous life.

On the contrary, Fang Jin actually lost very little. Everyone immediately understood that Fang Jin had always listened to Lin Zuhui; even if Lin Zuhui didn't remind him, the New Times Group cashed out so much last year. Fang Jin probably learned a lot from Lin Zuhui for so many years. essence.In fact, Fang Jin has also done a good job in debt control.

As for Yang Shoucheng, the situation is not bad, mainly because he suffered a big loss and his debts are well controlled.

Chapter 636 [International Finance Center]

Sunday.

The shopping mall of Xiangjiang International Financial Center opened on August 8th.

When choosing the date at the beginning, Lin Zuhui deliberately chose the date after 'beating the international speculators', so he chose it on the weekend.

The IFC Center is divided into four phases of projects, namely: Shopping Center, IFC Office Building Phase I, IFC Office Building Phase II, and Hotel Building. The four phases of the project have been put into use one after another.

The International Financial Center Mall (IFC Mall) has 4 floors above ground and covers an area of ​​80 square feet.Connects to the Airport Express Hong Kong Station Concourse and connects the remaining three parts of the International Finance Center together.Gathering more than 200 international brand merchants, the mall has 5 movie theaters, which are managed by DreamWorks Cinemas, with a total of 544 seats and a coffee shop.

The International Finance Center (IFC Mall) is the largest shopping mall in Hong Kong, and it is located in Central, where there is a lot of land, so even in the financial crisis, there is no shortage of tenants.

Moreover, in this financial crisis, residential buildings and office buildings are greatly affected, but shops are less affected; because the landlords in Xiangjiang are very strong, if the outside falls by 50%, the landlord may drop by 30% or even lower, or directly Do not drop.

IFC Mall started bidding in September last year. In fact, it was almost fully pre-leased very quickly, and there was no need to worry about not being able to rent out.

It has one of the biggest advantages, that is the location.The first is Central, and the second is the Airport Railway Terminal.

You know, the terminal of the airport and railway station can even check tickets and let passengers board the plane directly; passengers coming to Xiangjiang will almost also take the airport railway directly to arrive at Central Station, because Central is the core business district of Xiangjiang.

Therefore, IFC is one of the most valuable property complexes in Hong Kong, and its value is comparable to that of the entire Harbor City.

2000 billion is the valuation of the previous IFC!

In this life, the entire IFC has invested 460 billion yuan, which is equivalent to a five-fold increase.If you add rent collection, it will undoubtedly be very profitable.

"Lin Sheng, congratulations!"

"Congratulations Lin Sheng and Li Sheng!"

At the opening ceremony, dignitaries from Xiangjiang came to congratulate, Mr. Dong, Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong and others also came to congratulate.

This is a great business event in Hong Kong!

At this time, there was an endless stream of customers who came to patronize, and there was a long queue; the scene once made people wonder, has the financial crisis passed for a long time?

"Lin Sheng, seeing this scene, I think Xiangjiang's economy will recover quickly!" Mr. Dong said with emotion.

Lin Zuhui said seriously: "The financial crisis will not bring down Hong Kong's economy, and I have confidence in the Hong Kong government!"

Mr. Dong took advantage of the opportunity and said to the wealthy people: "The Hong Kong government is not enough to restore Hong Kong's economy. You investors must invest more money in Xiangjiang!"

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. Although everyone is just talking about it, in fact, how everyone invests will not be affected.

Of course, everyone attaches great importance to Xiangjiang, so if there is a good project, everyone will naturally invest.

Seeing the crowds of citizens rushing into the IFC shopping mall, Mr. Dong and others couldn't help but secretly marvel.

"Well, as far as I know, the merchants in IFC are all world-renowned brands. It's really unbelievable that so many people came here today!" Mr. Dong asked curiously.

Lin Zuhui explained: "Maybe Mr. Dong is too busy with all kinds of affairs, and he didn't notice the recent advertisements in the IFC shopping center. In recent days, the management of IFC has joined forces with more than 200 merchants to carry out a large-scale activity. Therefore, let these Citizens come here. The reason for this is also a means to stimulate consumption, which can have a certain amplitude economic effect when the economy is in a downturn.”

Different from the fake trick of distributing consumption vouchers in the previous life, the IFC not only distributes consumption vouchers this time, but also has a lot of lottery activities, giving gold and famous brands, in short, it is full of temptation.

Although the price is a bit high, popularity is the most important thing, especially during the opening days.

Mr. Dong nodded thoughtfully!

Although Xiangjiang suffered a huge financial crisis this time, there are still many rich people, and the consumption level is also ranked among the top in the world.Just like in the previous life, when the mainland was opened up three years later, the rich immediately went to Sanya and abroad for vacations, and the 12 rooms were fully booked.

Chapter 637 [Honest Man]

Beginning of November.

Luk Fook Jewelery.

Huang Wei often reported something to Lin Zuhui: "Boss, I got 49% of Xie Ruilin's shares!"

Lin Zuhui was very surprised, did this kind of thing happen?

"What's going on, tell me!"

Huang Weichang had a smug expression on his face. Although he didn't have much opinion on Xie Ruilin, his boss's affairs were naturally his own.

As for the grievances between his boss and Xie Ruilin, he probably also knows about it. It seems that the boss and his wife went to visit Xie Ruilin, and because they didn't buy anything, Xie Ruilin made a weird sentence in the media.As for the specific details, he naturally didn't know, but the result was like this.

Is this a trivial matter?

Of course not, who is the boss? He is the commercial governor of Xiangjiang. Xie Ruilin dares to be weird, isn't he looking for trouble on his own!

Of course, as the richest man in Xiangjiang, the boss will not directly trouble you.

However, now that you are in trouble, others naturally don't mind giving you a few knives secretly to let you die happily.

"Boss, it's like this: Xie Ruilin and his daughter Xie Yingyi started to speculate in real estate and stocks from 1996 to 1997, and suffered heavy losses in the financial turmoil; Xie Ruilin Jewelry, who bought a large number of properties, is now in debt of 13.5 billion, and Xie Ruilin himself also owes more than 5000 in debt for options. million Hong Kong dollars."

"Xie Ruilin mortgaged 49% of the company's shares he held to the creditor Swiss Bank. Recently, the Swiss Bank planned to sell the shares because Xie Ruilin could not repay the debt. After I heard the news, I immediately decided to buy them all."

After Lin Zuhui listened to it, he suddenly felt a little funny!

Xie Ruilin is really a sad person. His daughter played with him to speculate in stocks, and ended up losing his fortune. Then his daughter immediately left him and went overseas with her foreign husband, leaving her old father alone to bear the burden.

"Although we got the shares, if the Xie Ruilin family sues the High Court, they can redeem the 49% equity right?" Lin Zuhui asked.

Huang Weichang nodded and said: "Yes, after all, this is a mortgaged share, and the mortgagee can redeem it with money. But boss, you forgot that it is illegal for Xie Ruilin and his son to secretly bribe the company."

Lin Zuhui was a little surprised, this Huang Weichang is a capable person, and his work efficiency is really high.

"Have you got the evidence?"

"There is some evidence, but it is enough to report them. The rest will naturally be investigated by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. I believe they will not be able to escape!"

Lin Zuhui was also a little surprised that things progressed so successfully.

Of course, he was not worried that outsiders would think that he was messing with Xie Ruilin. After all, Lin Zuhui was in a high position, and he was completely unaware of what Huang Weichang did.After all, Luk Fook Jewelry is just Lin Zuhui's smallest business, so how could he know about it!

Even if outsiders have any ideas, it has nothing to do with him.

So, in the end, Lin Zuhui said: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you to handle with full authority, just communicate with me if there is any situation!"

Huang Weichang nodded and said, "Okay!"

How things develop, he just needs to watch the show quietly, the left and right are just dealing with a little carrot, and he needs to direct there.

……

Xie Ruilin jewelry.

Xie Ruilin hastily summoned his son Xie Dafeng, and said in shock: "Dafeng, the Swiss bank sold my pledged shares to Luk Fook Jewelery, what should I do?"

Xie Dafeng was also very shocked, and immediately asked: "Baba, how many shares have you mortgaged?"

Xie Ruilin replied: "All 49% of the shares have been mortgaged! I didn't know it would happen. This Swiss bank is too powerful. I just sold all my shares less than a month after the due date. What should I do? That’s right, Luk Fook Jewelery was originally our Xie Ruilin’s deadly enemy, and now it has 49% of our shares, it’s afraid that it wants to annex our Xie Ruilin Jewelry.”

Xie Dafeng immediately came to his senses and said, "It's not Lin Zuhui who troubled you. You talked nonsense in the media back then, so others will not let you go now!"

Xie Ruilin became even more anxious at this time, and kept saying: "How is this good? Has the foundation been handed over for decades? This... how dare I offend that great god, why is he so stingy! "

Seeing that his father was going crazy, Xie Dafeng quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, Baba. According to the law, we mortgagors have the priority to redeem the shares. So as long as we go to the court, we will definitely get back the 49% of the shares!"

Xie Ruilin's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Is that really the law?"

After all, Xie Dafeng has studied abroad and is well-informed, so he said: "It should be like this! Although we are the first to repay the loan overdue, we still have the right to repurchase the first. However, the current more than 5000 million We have to find a way to pay off the debts. Let’s forget about it, and go to the court to sue Lukfook Jewelery first!”

……

The lawsuit between Xie Ruilin Jewelry and Lukfook Jewelery was quickly reported by the media and became a topic of discussion among the public.

"No way, this Xie Ruilin is so miserable, a brand that has been around for decades is no match for a brand that has been around for ten years, and now he has even lost his shares!"

"What are you talking about! What's the use of the old Xie Ruilin brand? Luk Fook Jewelery is backed by the LEIT Group, and LEIT Group is the property of Mr. Lin Zuhui. What is Xie Ruilin, with a debt of 13.5 billion and a market value of just over 1 million Hong Kong dollars, he is almost bankrupt! "

"That's right! This Xie Ruilin is really unlucky. He was worried about making jewelry, but he chose to engage in real estate. The three times he developed real estate, he entered it at the peak of real estate, and then encountered a sharp drop. This is simply the possession of a bad spirit! "

"There were still chances in the previous two times, but this time Xie Ruilin really has no chance. With 13.5 billion in corporate debt and a large amount of personal debt, plus the jewelry industry is also hit hard now, there is no hope of repaying the money, only bankruptcy !"

"Hey, the ones that went bankrupt are not bad. Every day this year, there are companies that go bankrupt, and many individuals go bankrupt every day, and their properties are taken back by the bank. What a pity!"

……

After Xie Ruilin and his son filed a lawsuit with the court, soon some bondholders also applied to the court to liquidate Xie Ruilin and sentenced Xie Ruilin to bankruptcy.

Because Xie Ruilin had no funds to repay his debts, Xie Ruilin was soon ordered bankrupt, and the Receivership Office had the right to take over and sell his assets.

For a while, the Xie family father and son fell into a desperate situation.

Xie's mansion.

Xie Ruilin and his wife's family got together, and the family fell into an emotional low tide.

In fact, Xie Ruilin has two houses, and the other house is raised in London, and they are in public contact in Hong Kong.Although Xie Ruilin is old, his mentality is not old. Not only does he have a concubine to raise children for him, but Hong Kong media often find that Xie Ruilin is accompanied by his girlfriend.

Of course, as far as Xie Ruilin's wealth is concerned, it does not rank among the romantic and rich at all!

Some media have ranked this matter:

Lin Zuhui is No. 1, No. 2 is Zhao Shizeng, No. 3 is Liu Luanxiong, and then there are Yang Shoucheng, Fang Jin and so on.

Of course, some people also listed Lin Zuhui separately, mainly because of Lin Zuhui's wealth level and his elegant style.

"Babamo must be sad. Bankruptcy is your personal bankruptcy, but Xie Ruilin Jewelry is not yet bankrupt. We still have assets."

Upon hearing this, Xie Ruilin immediately asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Xie Dafeng said: "It's better to go to court again and deal with the two matters separately. You are personally bankrupt, but it does not affect our recovery of the 49% equity. It's just..."

"Just what? It's already at this time, and I'm still hesitating!"

"It's just that if the court judges us to win, you can no longer hold the 7000 million shares of Xie Ruilin Jewelry because you are a bankrupt."

Although Xie Ruilin was a bit reluctant, he still understood, so he said: "No problem, as long as you handle these matters well, the shares will be in your name. When I pay off the debts and the company's situation improves, you will put Just return the shares to me!"

He is greedy for power, and Xie Ruilin's jewelry is his lifeblood, and only wealth can allow him to live a happy life, otherwise, does Fengliu still depend on the face of his son and wife?

Xie Dafeng has a relatively honest personality, and immediately said: "It's natural, I just told you not to think about it!"

"What am I thinking about, you are my son, I still can't trust you!"

The two finally discussed a good solution, and then went back to their rooms separately.

Xie Dafeng returned to his room, his wife Qiu Anyi stepped forward and said, "How is it?"

Xie Dafeng said: "It should be no problem. We can get back our family's shares. After all, we have the initiative in the law!"

Qiu Anyi nodded!

……

Xie Dafeng appealed to the court again, and this time the bankruptcy administrator's office attracted the attention of the media.

In fact, Xie Dafeng was right in thinking, neither Luk Fook Jewelery nor the Official Receiver's Office could win this lawsuit.The court will consider that Xie Ruilin Jewelry itself is the property of the Xie Ruilin family, and Xie Ruilin Jewelry still has a bankruptcy protection period. As long as Xie Dafeng raises a certain amount of funds within a certain period of time and obtains the consent of some creditors, Xie Ruilin Jewelry can continue to operate , and the equity is also in the hands of Xie Dafeng.

However, one wave of ups and downs and another wave, and another wave of ups and downs and another wave of ups and downs.

The ICAC received a report that Xie Ruilin and his son were suspected of secretly distributing tens of millions of yuan in illegal rebates to travel agencies and tour guides, causing an uproar in the media.

In fact, the Hong Kong tourism industry has always had a legal commission system. Industry insiders pointed out that travel agencies sign contracts with jewelry stores, specifying the commission terms, and tour guides’ employee contracts also specify the percentage of commission and the name of the store, etc. .According to the industry, the commission is generally 2.5% to 5%, and the travel agency will also report the commission to the tax and face the law.

Some people in the tourism industry revealed that the practice of collecting commissions for tour guides after taking tourists to jewelry stores to shop is not uncommon, but tour guides must obtain the company's permission to be legal, and it is illegal to collect commissions privately.The behavior of Xie Ruilin and his son cannot be compared with legal behavior, and it is already in the category of illegality.
