Hong Kong's new giants

The Ninth City once again became the leader in this circle.

Driven by this, there is naturally the development of the entire Xiangjiang game industry and the enthusiasm of some start-up companies.

Starting a game studio in Cyberport has many advantages: first, the office building is very cheap, only 15 Hong Kong dollars per square foot per month; second, there is an "investment fund" specially set up by Jingwei Capital; third, Hong Kong has It has its own game exhibition; Fourth, The Ninth City can act as an agent for overseas distribution.

In short, the Xiangjiang game industry has started to develop in a blowout manner at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chapter 661 [How about buying a surname for 100 billion? 】

Repulse Bay mansion.

Lin Zuhui came to Ao Zhai as a guest, although he knew why Ao Sheng took the initiative to ask him out, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.

In fact, Lin Zuhui is selfish towards every woman, and will not be really nervous about a woman; just like Ms. Ao, Lin Zuhui thought of playing at the beginning. As for making her rich, it is also a matter of convenience. Ms. Ao proposed to have children. , Lin Zuhui held the idea that he didn't need to worry too much anyway, so it didn't matter.

In other words, if Ao Sheng wanted to use this kind of thing to control himself, he might be wrong.

He, Lin Zuhui, is a flirtatious person who never gets distracted by a woman.Similarly, if any woman wanted to threaten him by being pregnant with his 'dragon fetus', Lin Zuhui could also do it ruthlessly.

In short, what I give you is yours; what you ask for, I may not necessarily pay for you.

"Old Ao, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I feel more energetic!" Lin Zuhui greeted him with a smile.

At this time, Ao Sheng changed from his previous "old naughty boy" appearance in front of Lin Zuhui, with a serious expression; while Miss Ao next to him was even more cautious, obviously still afraid of his father from the bottom of his heart.

When she was the most rebellious in her previous life, she disregarded her father's dissuasion and dated Yang's son; as it turned out, she only dared to date, and marriage was impossible.

"Lin Sheng, you don't want to give it to you, but you want to do some sneaky things, and you are not afraid of making troubles that will embarrass you." Ao Sheng said angrily.

Although his daughter said that she had only been with Lin Zuhui for more than a year, how could he believe such words, let alone her daughter could not deceive him.

As for what he said not to give it to Lin Zuhui, it was because he intended to let Lin Zuhui be his son-in-law back then, but Lin Zuhui refused.

Lin Zuhui laughed and said, "Old Ao, what are you talking about! I'm here as a guest, and you haven't invited me into the villa. When did you learn to treat guests like this?"

Ao Sheng was speechless, he didn't expect Lin Zuhui to be so thick-skinned, so he had to invite Lin Zuhui into the villa.

When they came to the living room, everyone sat down, and then Osheng waved away the servant.

Lin Zuhui asked pretending not to know: "Old Ao, what is the invitation today?"

Ao Sheng suddenly said angrily: "Lin Zuhui, you did it on purpose! You decided that my daughter would be so determined to break up with me because of you, that's why you are so confident!"

Lin Zuhui looked at Miss Ao, she immediately lowered her head and kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes, showing the decisive look of later generations.

"Old O..."

"Uncle Ao!"

"Okay, Uncle Ao. Let me ask you something. Ms. Ao is 37 years old. If you delay others for a few more years, do you want her to stay with you forever?"

"Put P, ​​I am fair to every one of my children, without favoritism, how can I let a daughter give up her happiness to protect her brothers and sisters. It was she who found an unreliable partner. I don't know you yet. There are so many women..."

Lin Zuhui said frankly: "This is not very good. I don't like your family's assets. If you can give her some help, we will continue to be friends. Miss Ao, if you are willing to let her help you, your father and daughter will continue as usual; if you vent your anger She, in fact, relying on me, she can easily succeed in her career. To put it bluntly, the reason why she has been afraid of you is nothing more than the fact that she has given up her own choice with the responsibility of protecting her younger siblings. "

Mr. Ao glanced at his disappointing daughter, and deliberately scolded: "It's not good to find someone. If someone finds out such a playful person, if people find out, do you think that people will say bad things?"

Miss Ao lowered her head, but said firmly: "As long as you don't admit it, that's all. I don't pursue those!"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Okay, Uncle Ao, don't blame Sang and scold Huai. You called me here, it seems that you are going to pretend you don't know."

Mr. Ao looked at Lin Zuhui amusedly, and said, "You, Lin Zuhui, have taken advantage of it. My daughter will play with you. You don't have to pay any responsibility anyway. What a wonderful thing in the world!"

Obviously angry, but more helpless.

Lin Zuhui smiled and said, "What are you talking about so badly! Ms. Ao and I are friends. If I can help a friend in the future, I will help."

Mr. Ao finally understood, what Lin Zuhui meant was that he and his daughter maintained a friendship on the surface, so that he would not lose face; in addition, Lin Zuhui would also help his daughter.

After thinking for a while, Mr. Ao frowned suddenly, and said: "Ao, remember, after you have completed the certification, you will not be able to conceive at least half a year later, and you will not be allowed to publicly admit the identity of the child's father, and the child must have a surname." Oh. If you do this, I can let the past go, and you will still be my good daughter."

Miss Ao couldn't help looking at Lin Zuhui when she heard that the child's surname was going to be Ao.

This... Lin Zuhui said tentatively: "How about buying a surname for 100 billion?"

Mr. Ao and Ms. Ao couldn't help but look at Lin Zuhui, a little incredulous.But they quickly understood that Lin Zuhui's superficial wealth was already about 5000 billion Hong Kong dollars, but he didn't know how much wealth he had behind the scenes.

Mr. Ao said: "No, if the surname is Lin, wouldn't you tell everyone that my daughter will be your lover! If you love it or not, our He family is not short of money!"

Miss Ao immediately became embarrassed, but she didn't dare to say anything. After all, she just wanted a child, and she didn't really care about the last name.The reason why she wants children is also because of the influence of her two godsons (Li Jiaxin's two sons), the more she looks at them, the more she likes children.

Lin Zuhui compromised: "It doesn't matter, it was born by my mother, and it has the same surname as my mother." He changed the subject and said: "I will still do what I should give my child!"

"Who cares!" Mr. Ao said deliberately.Then he said: "Let's have dinner together! You, the richest man in the world, are getting busier and busier. You don't know if you are busy with business or other things. In short, it is rare for us old friends to meet you!"

Lin Zuhui smiled without saying a word, and walked to the restaurant with Aosheng.

In fact, even though he was 'strong' tonight, he was already giving Ao Sheng face, otherwise the rich man would dare to do this in front of him.

For a long time, Lin Zuhui gave people a different impression from the traditional rich man. Lin Zuhui was a young man with the calmness and shrewdness of the old rich man and the ruthlessness of a young man.If you offend Li Chaoren, maybe others will not retaliate, but if you offend Lin Zuhui, you will definitely usher in revenge.

Even if it is a society, Lin Zuhui will not be polite, but the means of revenge are clever.

The reason for the face tonight is that Ms. Ao took his 'elixir of eternal youth', and she still looks like her five or six years ago, even more charming; to put it bluntly, it is still in the shelf life, so Lin Zuhui naturally hopes to maintain the relationship.

Of course, Miss Ao is a woman with a lot of soul and ability, which is what a rich man like him likes.

Chapter 662【THE ONE】

5 month.

On this day, Lin Zuhui brought Li Jiaxin to Dong Ying Building in Tsim Sha Tsui, accompanied by a real estate agent.

Don't underestimate these real estate agents, even a big company like New Era Group cannot do without them. They are very familiar with the market, and they are a bit 'heretic', so it will be easier to entrust many things to them.

For example, Lin Zuhui took a fancy to the Dongying Building of the He Dong family, so he called a trustworthy real estate agent and asked him to discuss with the He Dong family.

"Lin Sheng, Ms. Li, I have communicated with the He Dong family many times, and I finally lived up to my mission. They are willing to sell it to you for 10.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the transfer can be done immediately."

Lin Zuhui patted him on the shoulder and said, "A Bin, you won't lose even one penny of the agency fee, just stop talking nonsense to me."

He can be regarded as his Queen's agent and also the agent of New Era Group, so he is trustworthy, after all, he has to rely on New Era Group for food.

A Bin suddenly smiled brightly. Lin Sheng is such a big boss. To get him to pat him on the shoulder is a good deed from his ancestors, so he nodded and bowed quickly and said, "Don't worry, if I say a little more, you will put my mouth on it." It can be sewn."

After a while of teasing, Lin Zuhui also looked at this old building.

Dong Ying Building is located in the prime location of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, which is actually the future THE ONE shopping mall.

This building was named "Dong Ying Building" by Ho Tung in memory of his wife Mai Xiuying, that is, they each took a name.

Obviously, the building is very old.

In the previous life, this building was bought by Da Liu, and then rebuilt into THE ONE, the tallest shopping mall in Hong Kong. It is 26 floors high and has a property area of ​​40 square feet. It has become a shopping hotspot in the tourist zone of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.

Da Liu has a lot of ideas. In his previous life, he completely redecorated the 18th floor of Fort Royal, and then used it all for shopping malls, and got a 41-square-foot shopping mall.

Of course, the super-tall shopping mall model in Hong Kong originated from Times Square of Wharf Group, and Liu is just learning from others.

But in this life, whether it's the Fort Royal Building or THE ONE, they are destined to miss Liu.

Today, the Fort Royal Building is also preparing to enter a large-scale renovation project, which is expected to open in the summer of 2004.Because during this period, it was the time when the rent in Xiangjiang was sluggish. Instead of this, it was natural to take advantage of this period to carry out the renovation project.

This is the benefit of knowing the general trend of history, and you can make a lot of money, because during this period, you will experience the impact of 911 and SAS, so it is best to plan your time well during this period.

Similarly, if Dongying Building is bought now and then applied for reconstruction, it is expected to open in the summer of 2004.

Li Jiaxin looked at Dongying Building excitedly, because this is the first building she is about to buy. Although her assets are now tens of billions (US stocks account for a large proportion), she feels that she, like Brother Hui, prefers more properties .

In particular, her biggest competitor (object of favor) Guan Jiahui has already purchased a Manhattan building worth [-] million US dollars in the United States, which makes her even more envious.

Back in the car, Li Jiaxin took Lin Zuhui's arm and rubbed Lin Zuhui's muscles with the most tender part of herself.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Don't be too happy, Dongying Building really intends to let you invest, but you have to cooperate with someone."

Li Jiaxin's mood tightened immediately, and she immediately asked, "Is it Sister Qiong?"

Lin Zuhui nodded with a smile!

Although Li Jiaxin was a little reluctant, she still pretended to be straightforward and said: "It's okay, anyway, it's only a building with a billion dollars, I'm not that stingy."

"Ha ha"

Lin Zuhui smiled proudly, proud of his excellence.

But what he said next made Li Jiaxin extremely excited.

"After you bought this house together, I will find someone to redesign and rebuild it for you. It is expected to build a 26-story, about 40 square feet tallest shopping mall in Hong Kong. By then, with the tourist location of Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, It must be a big success, the kind that you get soft when you collect rent every year."

Sure enough, Li Jiaxin smiled like a flower, and then openly called Miss Ao to have dinner together at the villa at night.

……

Shi Xundao, Li Jiaxin's villa.

Ms. Ao came here at the invitation, and she was in a very good mood. With her father present, she was going through the formalities soon.

"The two of you set up a real estate company, and then plan to redevelop Dongying Building. From now on, this building will be called THE ONE, right?"

Immediately, the eyes of the two girls brightened, Li Jiaxin quickly asked happily: "THE ONE, brother Hui, do you have THE ONE too?"

Lin Zuhui laughed and said: "Don't think too much, or the boss may let you go around. THE ONE means the highest shopping mall in Hong Kong. If you still want to be my THE ONE, first ask yourself if you can fight me Two hours."

Li Jiaxin stuck out her tongue, even if Lin Zuhui didn't emphasize it, no woman would dare to offend Wang Lingyin, because Lin Zuhui's attitude said everything.

"Just kidding!"

Then, Lin Zuhui said to Ms. Ao: "You should also put in some energy for this real estate company. It should not affect your business activities in the family business."

It is normal for one person to hold positions in several companies, after all, there are subordinates working.

Ms. Ao also nodded happily, and said, "No problem, I will definitely develop this company well, and you will give us advice."

Naturally, she admires Lin Zuhui's business skills very much, and she has also seen top-level awareness in foreign exchange, earning 1 million to 8 million in high-return investments.

At this time, Lin Zuhui suddenly thought that after robbing Da Liu of so many high-quality properties and losing so much in stocks, does he still have the strength to deal with Sogo Department Store?

How about cutting off his beard?

In his previous life, the reason why Liu lost 200 billion in the financial crisis and he was able to turn around quickly was because he owned many high-quality properties (four or five high-quality buildings and several popular shopping centers); now Liu’s strength can be said to be only [-]% of his previous life Almost, it is even more powerless for Sogo Department Store.

Lin Zuhui finally decided that after the bankruptcy of Sogo Department Store (Japan) headquarters, he would encourage Ms. Ao to lead Li Jiaxin to compete for Sogo Department Store (Hong Kong).

Sogo Department Store (Hong Kong) is actually divided into two assets, 'Department Store Assets' and 'Causeway Bay Sogo Department Store Building'. In his previous life, Liu Luanxiong was not strong at the time, and he didn't value the department store assets very much, so he recruited Zheng Yutong, and the two consortiums competed Winning the Sogo Department Store.

The Sogo department store alone should only cost 30-35 Hong Kong dollars, and the whole cost may be about 40 billion Hong Kong dollars.

There is no problem with money, and when the time comes, take it when you have the opportunity.

In fact, Ms. Ao's beauty is her core asset in the future. The reason why Lin Zuhui recruited her to work with Li Jiaxin is nothing more than to express his attitude.

MGM is a gambling giant in the United States. In this regard, although Lin Zuhui has many luxury hotel brands, it is obviously not comparable to MGM, a gambling giant and luxury hotel.Therefore, Lin Zuhui will not participate in those things, just like Lin Zuhui never invests in Omen.

Even if a country invites him to invest in the gambling industry, Lin Zuhui will still refuse. In some industries, he will not invest a dime at all.

On this point, Lin Zuhui and Li Chaoren had similar ideas. Panama offered a gambling card to Li Chaoren, but Li Chaoren directly refused. If he couldn't refuse, he transferred it to someone else.

Chapter 663 [London Raiders]

London.

This year, the Canary Wharf Club has ushered in the opening of the 'Docklands Light Railway Extension Line', 'Metro Canary Wharf Station', and the 'Metro Extension Line'. Since then, the only problem that has plagued the Canary Wharf Group - traffic , it will be easily solved.

The entire Canary Wharf currently has 1200 million square feet of commercial properties and 400 million square feet of commercial business under construction. The value of these properties will usher in a skyrocketing rise.

The New Era Group has spent about US$30 billion on this project successively. After more than six years of construction, it is finally ushering in the payback period.At present, the valuation of Canary Wharf Group has reached more than 60 billion US dollars. After all, it holds the entire Canary Wharf property and has the advantage of successively developing surrounding areas.

On this day, the subway station of Canary Wharf was officially opened. Lin Zuhui and London Mayor Peter Lewin attended the grand event. The rest also attended Canary Wharf Group CEO Richman and others.

On the rostrum of the ceremony, Peter Lewin delivered a speech. The Canary Wharf area has been clearly designated as London’s new financial CBD. As early as more than five years ago, the London government wanted to prevent the unfinished project from affecting London’s investment. In order to improve the environment, various strategies have been formulated, and all aspects of work have been carried out from transportation to publicity.

When the London Canary Wharf Group gave a speech, it was naturally Richman who took the stage, and Lin Zuhui was only present as a guest.

Richman’s speech was very contagious. He first said that Morgan, Credit Suisse, and Clifford Chance, the three large groups, have leased three buildings with a total of 180 million square feet of property. Canary Wharf is expected to reach the lease by the end of the year. The rate is 99%; later, Richman said that the Canary Wharf Group will complete the remaining 2002 million square feet of property in 400; finally, he also said that the Canary Wharf Group will fully participate in the development of the surrounding areas of Canary Wharf. building.

Richman's speech immediately described the prospects of Canary Wharf and its surroundings very well, which is naturally what the London government hopes to see.To put it bluntly, Canary Wharf was originally an abandoned wharf. If it weren't for foreign capital, it would still be a mess.

Sitting in the guest seat, Lin Zuhui was also thinking about it.

Canary Wharf Group is the flagship real estate group of New Times Group in Europe. He intends to list it in the first half of 2007 and sell some of its properties, so that Canary Wharf Group can own A large amount of cash was used to buy bottoms and was completely promoted to the largest real estate company in Europe.

Almost all of Lin Zuhui's investments in the UK are real estate and related:
