Hong Kong's new giants

"How do you like living in this villa?" Lin Zuhui asked with a sip of red wine.

This is a villa in Feimo Mountain, Kowloon. Actually, it's not a top-level villa. It's usually where top stars like Jack Cheng live. The Luo Dingbang family, a second-rate family, also own properties here.

Naturally, Lin Zuhui didn't like the villas in this area. The environment is good. In her previous life, Lin Zixia lived here and could meet cranes; kidnapping case.

He doesn't like it, so naturally it doesn't prevent him from investing in one or two sets to support his lover.So in this villa, let Wang Shishi live, of course she lives in name.

"Great, I like this place so much, the environment is beautiful and quiet, and the villa is big enough and luxurious. Thank you Brother Hui!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "It's good to get used to it, and if you're not used to it, you can live with Jennifer in the mansion in the middle of the mountain."

Wang Shishi's baba is still developing in Canada, which caused their family to live in three places, Jennifer and Wang Shishi are in Xiangjiang, and Wang Yuanyuan and her grandparents are in the mainland.

It is very difficult to move to Hong Kong now. Many parents are from Hong Kong, and it is difficult for their children to allow them to stay in Hong Kong for a long time; because the population of Hong Kong is already saturated, there will be trouble if there is more.Because of this matter, Xiangjiang executives also communicated with mainland officials, and finally formulated very strict population control.

Wang Shishi approached happily, and said coquettishly, "Brother Hui, you are so kind to me!"

Lin Zuhui looked at the eighteen girls, and his heart was much younger.

Although Wang Shishi is not very beautiful, she has a very good figure, which can be regarded as an advantage. Traditional beauties eat a lot, and Lin Zuhui also wants to try plus-size beauties; the most important thing is that one plus one plus one is definitely greater than three.

At this time, Wang Shishi is already in love, and she rarely has "money" in her eyes. Lin Zuhui doesn't give her a penny now, and she is afraid that she can pay for it.

However, it is obvious that a mature woman like Jennifer, although she is also keen on Lin Zuhui's ability, is calmer and more realistic about money.

So during the period, Jennifer asked: "Lin Sheng, the house in Xiangjiang has fallen sharply recently!"

Lin Zuhui said casually: "Well, it is mainly because the houses built by the Hong Kong government's '85000 plan' have been completed one after another, but the market demand has not increased, which has caused the decline of ordinary houses."

In fact, these were also unexpected by Lin Zuhui. He originally thought that Xiangjiang's economy would recover and improve.

Unexpectedly, although the Hong Kong government had already stopped the '1998 plan' in disguise in 85000, the housing plan of about 10,000+ units that had been finalized before that had to continue construction (land and financial appropriation), and now it is starting one after another. completed.

That is to say, in the next two to three years, the houses built by the government will hit the market one after another, which will cause property prices in Hong Kong to fall.At the peak, the housing price of tens of thousands per square foot may drop to 3000 yuan per square foot, a drop of up to 70%.

Although Lin Zuhui is a real estate developer now, whether Xiangjiang's house price goes up or not has little effect on him.Even the New Era Group is the same.

Recently, he began to support several women and bought properties in Xiangjiang at a low price.

Especially Li Jiaxin and Li Zi, their net worth can reach tens of billions, even if each of them spends 50 billion in the market to buy bottoms, it is still a very huge number.

Jennifer said worriedly: "Then let's invest in housing, shall we?"

Lin Zuhui said directly: "Listen to me!"

Jennifer quickly said: "Okay!"

Wang Yuanyuan looked at the three of them curiously, feeling very strange in her heart.

My sister is Lin Zuhui's girlfriend, so is my mother Jennifer Lin Zuhui's elder?Why is Lin Zuhui so domineering, but Jennifer is so obedient?

For a moment, the little girl doubted her life.

After dinner, the four of them went upstairs to the living room.

Lin Zuhui called Wang Yuanyuan to his side, and asked kindly: "Yuanyuan, I heard that you have acted in two plays?"

Wang Yuanyuan blushed, because she found Lin Zuhui's eyes were looking at her, this look made her feel a little love, thinking that Brother Hui is so handsome and a big shot.

"Well, they're all supporting roles. Brother Hui, are you the boss of Xiangjiang Showbiz?"

"It seems that it can be said that, what's the matter, you also want to go through my back door?"

"You are my brother-in-law. If you take care of me, it's okay, isn't it?"

"That's true, but what's the purpose of your acting?"

Seeing Lin Zuhui and Wang Yuanyuan chatting in full swing, Jennifer and Wang Shishi felt a little helpless. This man's goal is very clear.The important thing is that the two also understand that Wang Yuanyuan cannot escape the capture of a man like Lin Zuhui.

During the period, Lin Zuhui looked for an opportunity to let Wang Shishi and Jennifer leave for a while, and let himself and Wang Yuanyuan be alone for a while, because he found that he picked up girls very quickly, and he hoped to capture her heart tonight.

Chapter 677 [Exit the showbiz]

……

Monday, October 11.

New Era Group headquarters.

Lin Zuhui was in the office, leaning on the chair and thinking.

This is the normal state of his work now-there is a lot less substantive work, but he often thinks.After all, as the chairman of a large company, the first thing to ensure is that the company's development direction will not go wrong, and other tasks will naturally be done by his subordinates.

Even the work reports of the senior executives have become more and more streamlined, because Lin Zuhui's request is like this; he will use the results to verify the management's ability, and if it fails, he will replace it.

Of course, Lin Zuhui's enterprises all have an advantage - that is, the development direction he made is unmistakable; and Lin Zuhui is also very good at business philosophy.

For example, he asked New Times Group to carry out reverse bottom-hunting in the cold winter season of shipping, and set three major development directions for "Time Shipping", which are enough to be a "magic weapon"; From 2003 to 2008, you can make a lot of money. The three major development directions of Times Shipping include logistics business, which will become a high-quality asset in the future. The former Maersk only realized it in 2016. Times Shipping can avoid many detours .

New Era Group has a perfect layout in many fields, and it will only become bigger and bigger.

"dong dong"

"Come in"

Group President Chen Bin walked in, sat down, and said, "Boss, this month's official land auction, a piece of land in the Tai Kok Tsui reclamation area of ​​West Kowloon, can build about 60 square feet of residential floor space."

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "Take it if it suits you!"

Chen Bin nodded, and said: "I think so too. This year, our New Times Group won not have much official land. This time, we happened to meet such a piece of land with a good area. Moreover, the housing prices in Xiangjiang have fallen again recently. I believe Those who dare to take land at this time are only two or three."

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, it's Cheung Kong and us. You can figure it out."

"Ok"

Then, Lin Zuhui asked: "Compared with these small projects, I hope that the New Times Group can win the [-]th phase on the Kowloon Station of the Airport Railway."

Chen Bin knew that the boss was more concerned about the commercial building of the seventh phase, which could build a skyscraper about the same size as the 'National Finance Phase II Building'.

"It is expected to call for bids next year, and we will definitely try to win it when the time comes."

Lin Zuhui nodded!

A few days ago, the Cheung Kong Group invested 80 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy most of the interests in the "Central Center Building" located between Central and Sheung Wan, increasing the Cheung Kong Group's equity to 80%.

This made Lin Zuhui a little jealous, but this project is a cooperative project between Cheung Kong and the Land Development Corporation, so it's useless for him to be jealous, and he can't intervene and be laughed at by others.

As for the 80% interest in the Yangtze River Group, Lin Zuhui remembers that later generations sold it at a sky-high price of 425 billion.

From this information, it can be deduced that the office buildings in Hong Kong Central, Wanchai, and Causeway Bay have increased by 4 to 5 times, which is far behind the growth rate of shops, houses, and luxury houses.

For example, New Times Group's "IFC Center" has a total investment of 460 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its future value will be 2000-2500 billion.

And maybe a 500 million shop now may be worth more than 5000 million in the future; an ordinary house with a unit price of 3500 yuan per square foot will rise to more than 20000 yuan in the future.

The two chatted for a while, then Chen Bin left, and Morris, the president of Times Shipping, came after him.

"Boss, there is a problem with Times Shipping! That is, we have purchased too many ships, and the business volume will not be enough. Container ships and bulk ships are okay, like oil and gas ships, ore ships, etc., our business cannot keep up with the purchase of ships Speed, only relying on leasing business is too simple."

Times Shipping has acquired a series of overseas companies to strengthen the container business and bulk shipping business, but Times Shipping has also purchased a large number of second-hand oil and gas ships and ore ships, and built a lot of new oil and gas and ore ships.

"What's your suggestion?" Lin Zuhui asked.

Morris has been in office for three years, and Times Shipping has achieved impressive results. It does not mean that he is good at acquisitions, but that he is good at management and operation. From shipping, terminals, to logistics, transportation, etc., they have developed very well.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui trusted him very much!

Morris said: "I suggest that Times Shipping acquire the Norwegian shipping boss - Bengesen Group. It may not be a wholly-owned acquisition, or even only a controlling acquisition (more than 51%). I have sorted out the information of this company." Said. After finishing, he respectfully placed a document on Lin Zuhui's desk.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Talk about the situation first!"

"Okay! In the field of oil and gas and ore, the mainland market is the most worthy of our attention. Boss, you have a very good relationship with the mainland, which is more advantageous. On the contrary, after the death of the charter king of 'Global Shipping', the family has not been too big. Influence, on the contrary, it has done some things that hurt the mainland...Compared with Global Shipping, what Times Shipping lacks most is the strength and experience in this area.”

"Bengerson Group is the world's second largest liquefied gas fleet owner. If we control it, we can obtain the main human resources of Bengesen's operation, management, maintenance and transportation, as well as the liquefied gas accumulated by the company for 30 years. operational experience."

"It can be said that once the acquisition is completed, we will no longer have this disadvantage. At that time, we will be able to strive for a large share of the growing transportation of crude oil, refined oil, and liquefied gas in the Mainland."

He knows that the relationship between the boss and the mainland is very strong, and the boss even built two billion US dollars of ships in the mainland twice in a row, which is simply supporting the shipbuilding industry in the mainland.But now, since it is building ships in the Mainland, it naturally needs to share the transportation business in the Mainland on a large scale.

Hearing this, Lin Zuhui immediately said: "Okay, this acquisition is up to you, and you can report the progress to me at any time. As for the shares, more than 51% is fine, the more the better, you can do it yourself. I can tell you, New Times Group has a cash flow of 200 billion U.S. dollars in the past year, and a part of it is enough to support the development of the shipping industry."

Morris was overwhelmed with confidence and said, "Okay, I will come up with the acquisition plan as soon as possible!"

Lin Zuhui thought for a while, and decided to communicate with Morris.

"In the last two years, I also plan to acquire the iron company Zhuahua, and establish our position as the world's container leader in one fell swoop. You can also have a mental preparation."

Morris nodded excitedly. As the president of Times Shipping, he naturally hopes that Times Shipping will become the world's shipping giant; and he also knows that the boss is optimistic about the shipping trend after the millennium and is taking advantage of the trend to buy bottom.

As for whether the boss's bet is right or not, he always believes that the boss's success is not based on luck. After all, luck can make the boss win once or twice, but it is impossible to win this time; the boss's success depends on keen analysis.

After Morris left, Lin Zuhui showed a smile.

In fact, the industry he is most suitable for is a 'cyclical' industry, because he knows the cycle!

Therefore, in the fields of real estate and shipping, he is an unrivaled king.

……

In the evening, Lin Zuhui came to the top-floor duplex mansion in Block [-] of Diligende Pavilion.

After a while, Lin Xinru, Fan Binbin, Zhang Baizi, and Gao Yuanyuan walked in one after another, and Lin Chiling naturally followed Lin Zuhui.

There is no embarrassment when everyone gets together, and they are still active.

I remember that when Gao Yuanyuan came to Hong Kong, Lin Zuhui did not introduce her to everyone, but let someone show her the prosperity of Hong Kong first; when the time was right, he introduced her to everyone.

"Yuanyuan, have you taken a few days off?" Lin Zuhui pulled Gao Yuanyuan into his arms and said closer.

Gao Yuanyuan still couldn't let go, and said shyly, "Brother Hui, I just took a week's vacation, and I have to go back to the capital on weekends."

Lin Zuhui looked at Gao Yuanyuan's attire, and then said to Lin Xinru: "Xinru, give Yuanyuan some advice, I want her to be more Hong Kong style."

Lin Xinru immediately said, "Okay."

Several people were chatting and laughing, and soon a female bodyguard would bring the meal, and everyone began to eat.

Then, Lin Zuhui said again: "Xinru, Bingbing, you are now gradually withdrawing from the showbiz!" After finishing speaking, he looked at the two women seriously.

After all, the careers of the two were in the same year.

Fan Binbin immediately said: "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Hui!"

Lin Xinru hesitated for a moment, and said, "I also listen to Brother Hui."

Lin Zuhui showed a satisfied smile, and said: "That's right. Acting can't make a lot of money all year round. Why don't I give you money and teach you how to invest."

Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Binbin, both of whom have registered permanent residence in the Mainland, happened to go to Shanghai and the capital to invest a lot in real estate; to be honest, he did not earn a lot of money in the Mainland seriously, such as properties, collections, stocks, etc., can be completed by Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Binbin.

As for Lin Zhilin and Lin Xinru, they naturally hold shares in Taiwan Island, and they can also invest in Xiangjiang properties;

Zhang Baizi is the property that invests in Xiangjiang;

It is very easy to make five women rich, and the previous group no longer needs to pay every year, so naturally they will be the next newcomers.

After the meal, Lin Zuhui asked the five people to come to the floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Xiangjiang River together.

Diligendege Building 66 is the tallest residence in Xiangjiang. It is halfway up the Taiping Mountain itself, and the 66 buildings are 6000 floors high. The most important thing is that this duplex is the [-]-story building king, which is the exclusive property of Lin Zuhui. Up to [-] square feet.

Chapter 678 [Millennium]

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Day in the millennium (2000).

On the same day, Lin Zuhui and his family went to "Yunfengju" on the top of Gefu Mountain for vacation. This is also the place where Lin Zuhui often vacations in the future.

This No. [-] mansion in Xiangjiang has been rebuilt for many years, and it is finally put into use now; during the period, many reporters wanted to spy on it, and it was once elegant, but unfortunately it was blocked by the strict security here.

Why is it said to be the No. [-] mansion in Xiangjiang?

This is absolutely no exaggeration.

First of all, Yunfeng Residence is located on the top of Gefu Mountain, with an invincible and wide view. Standing on the balcony, you can have a panoramic view of Xiangjiang Central, Wanchai, Victoria Harbour, etc.; it is also adjacent to Pollock Road, and it is also one of the most expensive places on the top of the mountain.

Secondly, Yunfeng Residence covers an area of ​​4.4 square feet, and the reconstruction cost exceeds 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be called the crown of luxury villas in Xiangjiang.

In the end, Lin Zuhui lived in Yunfengju, which is naturally the No. [-] mansion in Xiangjiang.

Communicating and interacting with family members in the villa all day long, without feeling bored at all.After the reconstruction of Yunfeng Residence, it is a three-story European-style villa with a floor area of ​​about 1.25 square feet. The third floor is a residential floor of 3.75 square feet; Take advantage, with a treasure trove, rec room, large bedrooms and more.

In fact, the floor area of ​​the entire villa is 5 square feet, which is four floors (including the negative floor).

Lin Zuhui came to the balcony on the third floor alone, put his hands on the railing, and looked at the prosperity of the Xiangjiang River.

'Climbing the heights and looking far' and 'being in a high position' are the descriptions of Lin Zuhui's mentality.
