Hong Kong's new giants

According to the usual practice, he first listened to the work reports of the high-level people and formed a system in his mind. This was due to his IQ far surpassing that of ordinary people, which helped him to make great achievements in his career.

Times Shipping has three core businesses: sea/air freight, port/tugboat, and logistics/transportation. The three sectors complement each other and develop in a coordinated manner.

Among them, the sea/air freight business includes not only the transportation of containers, oil, liquefied petroleum gas, ore, etc., but also vessel leasing and management. After the incident, large-scale entry into the aircraft leasing business, that is, the acquisition of leasing companies or the purchase of second-hand aircraft, order new aircraft and so on.

The vice president in charge of port/tugboat business, reported by Huihui: “We have completed the acquisition of 30% interest in Westport Klang, Malaysia. Westport Klang is located on a 520-hectare coastal land. It is a comprehensive port with terminal facilities capable of handling dry and wet Bulk cargo and breakbulk cargo... Reached an agreement with the Philippine International Container Terminal Services Corporation (ICTSI) and its investors to acquire ICTSI International Holdings Corporation (IIHC), a subsidiary holding company of ICTSI responsible for overseas port development business..."

One port after another has joined the embrace of Times Shipping. Although some of them are not controlling acquisitions, it does not prevent Times Shipping from spreading its ports all over the world.

"What about the progress of the ports in South America?" Lin Zuhui asked.

North America, Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, Asia and other regions have already spread the ports of Times Shipping, and South America cannot be missed. After all, there are emerging and developing countries such as Brazil and Argentina.

"We are negotiating a port in Brazil, we will report to you as soon as there is any progress!"

"Um"

"By the way, BOSS, we also hope to win the second phase of Beilun Port in Ningbo, Mainland China."

A thought flashed in Lin Zuhui's mind, he wanted to teach the descendants of the Bao family a severe lesson.

When Wharf and Wheelock completed the reconstruction plans of "Times Square" and "Harbor City", they wanted to go further and become a large-scale development real estate developer (residential developer), but because of Wu Guangzhen's ambition, he always likes to engage in big projects (There is the shadow of Chartered Ship King); it turns out that New Times Group is also very interested in these big projects, so from Youyiju, Diamond Mountain Land King, and the former site of Shenjing Haishengli Brewery, New Times Group has repeatedly Beat Wharf and Wheelock to win these mega-projects and make a fortune before [-].

Also, Lin Zuhui almost snatched control from the Pao family in Modern Container Terminals; of course, his purpose was nothing more than 'blackmail', so in the end he made a profit and let Modern Containers and Asia Containers join forces to fight International container.

All kinds of incidents come together, and Lin Zuhui's "suppression" of this family is all the time.

But it is also common sense - with the birth of a new type of big chaebol, it is bound to have a huge impact on these old chaebols; and it is not that these old chaebols have never thought of suppressing the new chaebols, but Lin Zuhui's growth rate is too fast, and he has the media at the beginning. A sharp tool for communication and good network resources.

In a very short period of time, Lin Zuhui was on an equal footing with the veteran chaebol, and continued to quickly surpass him, which was unexpected by everyone.

"It's not a big problem, if you need me, you can report to me!"

"Okay, we built ships worth 20 billion US dollars within two years in the mainland, which seems to be supporting the shipbuilding industry in the mainland; coupled with your relationship with the boss, it should be easy to win this port."

Lin Zuhui nodded. His inland port branches are located in Guangdong Province, Magic City, and Mountain Province. Now he fills up Zhejiang Province, which is almost full; of course, he is not greedy, and he has too much competition with Li Chaoren, because he I know that the mainland also values ​​Li Chaoren very much.

"It's not just a port issue. Our relationship in the mainland is enough to get involved in the oil and gas transportation and ore transportation in the mainland. You should take the initiative in this regard and report to me in time if you need me."

Morris immediately nodded and said, "Okay, BOSS!"

Then, Lin Zuhui listened to the business progress of logistics/transportation.

In the field of logistics and transportation, the gradual development of Times Shipping is not as radical as shipping and ports; however, this is only for Times Shipping itself, and for the entire logistics field, Times Shipping is developing at a very fast speed of.

Lin Zuhui attaches great importance to the development of logistics/transportation. With this business, Times Shipping can provide customers with one-stop services.Just like the "Cherry Freedom" in the previous life, Times Shipping can purchase from New Zealand and then go to the logistics park in the Mainland, and complete the service in one package, so that customers will naturally be more satisfied; there is also the field of red wine...

The logistics/transportation business is not cyclical like the shipping industry. The overall business has continued to grow and is stable. This is also what Maersk learned from the pain in 2016. It vigorously developed logistics/transportation and spent more than 20 billion US dollars to acquire the logistics business of Li & Fung Group. .

……

Bao family.

Su Haiwen, chairman of the board of directors of Global Shipping, and Wu Guangzhen, chairman of Wharf Group, got together. Although the four sons-in-law of the Bao family came from all over the world, even Japanese, they were quite united.

The main reason is that the charter king was allocated in those days. One son-in-law controls Wharf and Wheelock and real estate business (Wu Guangzhen), one son-in-law controls global shipping (Su Haiwen), one son-in-law controls family funds and investment (Zheng Weijian), and one son-in-law controls Japan Business (Shinichiro Watanabe)

Su Haiwen said solemnly: "Guangzheng, the purpose of Times Shipping's blitz to acquire Norway's Bengesen Group is obvious. It must be to get a share of the oil and gas transportation in the mainland. As a result, the situation of Global Shipping is not good. Are you Huaxia people, what do you think about this? How do you think global shipping should deal with the challenge?"

It turns out that Su Haiwen has long been eyeing the growing shipping business in the Mainland, but the sudden emergence of Times Shipping will deal a big blow to the global shipping with a capacity of 900 million tons.

Wu Guangzhen said with a wry smile: "With Lin Zuhui's relationship in the mainland, Times Shipping is more competitive than Global Shipping. Especially in the past two years, Lin Zuhui has also supported the development of the mainland's shipbuilding industry, and it is impossible for the mainland to refuse to hand over the shipping business to him. So , Hai Wen, I can't help you much in this regard, it's all up to you. Although my father-in-law had a lot of connections in the mainland, it's already exhausted, and you need to re-examine your relationship with the mainland."

Su Haiwen was overshadowed, and could only say: "I am also planning to build a few ships in the mainland, hoping to get a share of the mainland's shipping business!"

For strong opponents, Global Shipping is helpless.To be honest, even if Global Shipping acquires Bengesen Group, Global Shipping will borrow heavily.

In fact, the expenditure of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars is already a large number for global shipping.

However, for New Era Group, it is just a very ordinary expenditure.

In the past few years, Lin Zuhui has made two acquisitions of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and there are even more acquisitions of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

The disparity in strength made these old chaebols feel a lot of pressure, and they were a little helpless.

……

Times Shipping moved quickly. After acquiring the Bengesen Group, it immediately established a business department in the Mainland, which is responsible for competing for the transportation of oil, liquefied gas, and iron ore.

This move not only puts pressure on Global Shipping, but also puts pressure on the official company "Hua Shipping" with the prefix "Hua".

The three major oil companies in the mainland are customers of Global Shipping, but now they are at risk of switching to Times Shipping;

Although Hua Shipping is a government-owned enterprise, they also understand that the mainland must take care of Times Shipping. Not to mention the relationship between Lin Zuhui, the ship order worth 20 billion US dollars is a great favor.The 20 billion US dollars itself is a large amount of support for the shipbuilding industry. Coupled with the international influence behind it, it will have a profound impact on the entire Chinese shipbuilding industry.

Of course, after feeling the great ambitions of Times Shipping and Lin Zuhui, more people raised questions: "Lin Zuhui is spending tens of billions of dollars at this time, isn't it a big gamble?"

This kind of discussion is endless, and professionals think it is a bit 'reckless', but Lin Zuhui has many supporters, and they all think that 'everything must be reversed'. Mr. Lin Zuhui is buying bottom shipping at this time, which shows that shipping will explode in the next few years.

For these discussions, Lin Zuhui didn't take it seriously!

Over the years, he has invested in many long-term projects, such as beverages and food, shipping, hotels, etc. In the early stage, he really only focused on investment and did not consider returns.What supports him to play like this is New Era Group's real estate and financial profits.

The New Era Group has no shortage of followers. Stocks are the favorite investment of Hong Kong residents. The market value breaking through one trillion is the best proof.

……

In late January, the media once again reported that Times Shipping and Beilun Port in the Mainland were negotiating. Regarding the joint development of the second phase of Beilun Port, the joint venture company will invest RMB 1 billion to be responsible for the operation and management of three container berths in the second phase of Ningbo Beilun Port. .

When the news came out, it was reprinted and spread by the Hong Kong media one after another.

Many media bluntly stated that with the strong rise of Times Shipping, the global shipping established by the charter king will become very difficult; now, Times Shipping not only wants to grab the oil transportation business, but also wins the second phase of Beilun Port.

In the earliest days of Beilun Port, the charter king proposed to build a deep-water port, and the first phase of the project was jointly built by Bao and the mainland; now that Times Shipping has just acquired Norway's Bengesen Group and turned to Beilun Port, it will inevitably make people feel Times Shipping is targeting global shipping.

When the news reached Global Shipping, Su Haiwen, the chairman of the board of directors, could only sigh. He said to the senior executives around him: "Beilun Port is only second, and the most important thing is the attitude of Times Shipping. Now it seems that Global Shipping will usher in a strong opponent. The family business that my father-in-law passed on to me should be carried forward no matter what, you search for old-fashioned liquid and gas shipping companies that can be acquired around the world, so that the group's business can extend from oil to liquid and gas transportation."

A senior executive said: "Times Shipping has ordered new ships worth 60 billion US dollars within two years, including many oil ships. It seems that they not only want to transport natural gas, but also want to enter oil transportation in a large scale."

"Our global shipping is a leader in the oil field, with a history of more than 40 years, and we are not afraid of challenges!" Su Haiwen said confidently.

Some high-level executives wanted to stop talking. It is good that global shipping is a leader in the field of oil transportation, but in the past almost all of them were leased ships.The point is that the New Era Group is rich and powerful, and if it enters the field of oil transportation, it is bound to be menacing.

Cheung Kong Industries.

Li Chaoren frowned when he heard that Times Shipping had won Beilun Port.

"Beilun Port, I have long wanted to cooperate, but Lin Zuhui took the lead." He said to himself.

From Europe to Southeast Asia, the Americas to Asia, Times Shipping has used its unrivaled momentum to successively win the management rights of many ports, which makes Hutchison Whampoa always have a feeling of chasing Times Shipping.

The key point is that after many countries open their ports to Times Shipping, they no longer plan to cooperate with Hong Kong-funded enterprises, lest they be controlled by capital in one place.

This restricted the development of Hutchison Whampoa.

"Since Shengyu He Shengliang"

"Since the rise of Lin Zuhui, my career development has been restricted by many parties. From real estate, ports, to retail and telecommunications, businesses that should belong to me have been snatched away by Lin Zuhui."

At this moment, since the old and resolute Li Chaoren was a little stunned, fortunately, he finished his complaints quickly and continued to work as if nothing had happened.

In the end, he couldn't play Lin Zuhui better than anything else!

Chapter 681 [Poems and Poems]

Before the Lunar New Year, Lin Zuhui called Liang Zhenxun.

"I plan to let the group cash out about 10% of Heung Kong Telecom's shares. You can arrange it and try to complete it within two months."

Liang Zhenxun knew that the boss was pessimistic about the Internet companies that are now in a mess, and believed that the bubble was about to burst, so it was not surprising to make this decision.

"Okay! However, the reduction of major shareholders' holdings is bad news. If we want to make the influence a little smaller, we can say that the cash out funds will be used to repay the huge loan acquired at the beginning. I think this will dispel the panic of some investors. mood."

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said: "Well, this argument can be made. Now that Heung Kong Telecom is in full swing, and its market value is almost 5000 billion, it's time to put the brakes on it. Go ahead and cash out, after all, the price is quite high when we buy it."

In the previous life, after Li Zekai acquired Heung Kong Telecom, he merged Heung Kong Telecom and Yingke, so all the debts were transferred to the new merged company.

At the beginning of last year, New Times Group completed the acquisition with cash flow of real money (a total loan of 100 billion U.S. dollars), so the burden was heavy; The de-privatization of New Times Group's stock will inevitably dilute his shareholding again. After all, his current shareholding is only 46% (the acquisition of Heung Kong Telecom is partially diluted).

Therefore, since it cannot be privatized, New Era Group will instead earn part of the funds in the capital market of Heung Kong Telecom to compensate for the acquisition costs; what's more, it also invested in the Cyberport project and Heung Kong Telecom's business at the beginning.

Liang Zhenxun said confidently: "Hungkong Telecom's layout in Asian Internet information is considered by investors to be a very promising business. With this support, the stock price will not fall too much."

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I don't even know if the PCC business and broadband Internet access business will be successful."

Liang Zhenxun was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Microsoft, News Corporation and other international companies are deploying these two businesses, making many investors firmly believe that their prospects are unlimited."

Lin Zuhui naturally didn't like it in his heart, but he wouldn't say it directly like this.

"It doesn't matter, let's cash out about 400 billion first, spend the funds for the acquisition, and return some of it."

"Ok."

At the time of the acquisition, Heung Kong Telecom was valued at 2550 billion, and New Era Group paid a price of 1380 billion Hong Kong dollars; of which, the cash price was 780 billion and the stock price was 600 billion.

Now, the market value of Heung Kong Telecom has reached nearly 5000 billion Hong Kong dollars. Obviously, cashing out 400 billion is in the interests of New Times Group; after cashing out, New Times Group still holds about 49% of the shares.

Lin Zuhui estimated that the market value of Heungkong Telecom after the bubble crisis is 1500 billion to 2000 billion, which is more reasonable.

……

In the evening, Lin Zuhui left work early and came to Wang Shishi's real estate company.

After accepting Wang Yuanyuan, Lin Zuhui raised Wang Shishi's salary again, injecting a "small goal" into her real estate company every year; after all, the three of them are all in battle, so naturally they should get more.

For Lin Zuhui, money is not a problem, as long as it makes him happy.

"Brother Hui, please sit down!"

Wang Shishi happily welcomed Lin Zuhui to her boss seat, and then stood in front of Lin Zuhui, with a pair of long legs matched with high heels and black stockings, it was simply the best of legs.

Jennifer also came to Lin Zuhui happily, only to see that this woman is like an old clam in spring, with a charm that still exists. When she was young, she must have been more beautiful than her two daughters; even now, she has a superb figure, which attracts men's attention.

Both women are in office OL clothes, which made Lin Zuhui daydream again and again. They leaned on the desk together, facing Lin Zuhui, with affection in their eyes.

Lin Zuhui's women will only become more and more attached to him as time goes by. If he no longer provides money to Wang Shishi now, the three of them will still accompany Lin Zuhui.In this regard, Lin Zuhui is very confident. After all, he is not only rich, but also powerful.

"You two are like sisters!"

"Brother Hui!"

"Really?"

Jennifer was pleasantly surprised, but Wang Shishi refused, after all, she was only under 19 years old.

And Jennifer leaned directly against Wang Shishi, embracing Wang Shishi's waist with one hand, meaning - are we really sisters?

Good guy, looking at Jennifer like this, Lin Zuhui is really competing for the tiger.

In fact, Lin Zuhui is also very optimistic about Jennifer. Although she is 40 years old this year, if she takes Lin Zuhui's "Zhuyan Lingye", I believe that not only can she maintain her current state, but she may even be rejuvenated.

Of course, a lady has a ladylike charm, and men will always like it, but it must be better to change the taste occasionally.

"Ha ha"

Lin Zuhui laughed, leaned forward, struck out in two ways with his hands, and then reached out to the inner thighs of the two, feeling the magic of the stockings.

Then, he turned the topic to mobile work.

"What has your company gained recently?"

Wang Shishi only felt that she was itchy, and couldn't help but lean on her hands slightly, but kept a gap for this man.

When she heard about her company, she said excitedly: "Yes, since Brother Hui invested another 5000 million, the company is equivalent to buying 2 million properties (50% loan). Recently we bought 2 Kowloon The shop cost more than 2300 million..."

Although she is less than 19 years old, she is very passionate about property, which is the nature of Xiangjiang people.

After Lin Zuhui finished listening, he smiled and said, "Shishi has become a charter woman, Jennifer."

Jennifer smiled and said, "That's right, real estate is cheap now, [-] million can buy a lot! But Shishi, remember to still have Yuanyuan's share!"

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "You don't need to mention this Jennifer. The relationship between the two sisters will be very good in the future. After all, they are all my women. What's more, this real estate company also has you, let us honor you together in the future! "

Jennifer pointed to Lin Zuhui's hand and said, "It's such a filial piety!" After speaking, she showed a smile and moved forward slightly.

Lin Zuhui stood up, hugged the two of them in his arms, and said, "You can be more filial!"

……

Boxes at the Furama Hotel.

Seeing Lin Zuhui, Wang Yuanyuan threw herself into his arms.
