Hong Kong's new giants

"92's!"

"You are so young, it seems that I am really embarrassed to join!"

Lin Zuhui saw that Guan Jiahui was a little lost, and comforted him: "You have more charm than her, she is just a spice, we have been in love for 30 years."

Guan Jiahui was swept away immediately, she stood up and began to twist her body in front of Lin Zuhui.

"Hmph, I'm going to take good care of you tonight and make you miss me on the plane."

……

……

May.

In the waters south of Hong Kong Island, the superyacht 'The Sun'.

In the large dining room that can accommodate 24 people, it was temporarily requisitioned as a 'meeting room'. Lin Zuhui sat in the main seat, followed by twelve family directors.Yes, Lin Zuhui also included the three Singaporean daughters and their children into the family office.

"Dozens of citizens launched a protest against the richness of the world's richest man in the second phase of the International Financial Center"

Lin Zuhui read out the headline of a newspaper, and then put it down slowly.

All of a sudden, all the women spoke one after another.

"I don't work hard to make money, but I protest that others are too rich."

"That is, Xiangjiang is one of the freest places in the world to do business. They don't have the skills, but they blame others for making money."

"Brother Hui works so hard in charity, yet they still target him like this, it's too much!"

"Brother Hui is not only doing charitable efforts, but also making great contributions to the development of Hong Kong. Hong Kong culture, comics, games, software, technology and other industries, none of which is brought up by Brother Hui."

All the women fought against Lin Zuhui one after another, feeling angry and chilling.

Lin Zuhui himself, however, seems to be calm and calm. He has been in this position for many years, and his heart is already normal.

He understood Li Chaoren's situation in his previous life very early on, and what an 'international businessman' needs to face!

"That's it! Everyone stands in a different position, and we can't ask everyone to think the same. This time, inviting the twelve of you to hold a family meeting is an average of wealth."

"After many years of relationship with you, I have already trusted you very much; at the same time, I have seen the children's sense of belonging to the family and their feelings for me, which is also the reason for my decision today."

The girls held their breath, knowing that this man was going to spread his money.

Looking at the 12 directors, all wearing office OLs, Lin Zuhui knew that there was still a good show today, but now a family meeting needs to be held.

"Guan Jiahui, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Jiaxin, Li Zi, Lin Zixia, Monica, the four technology stocks held by the six of you have huge potential and there is still a lot of room for growth, so there is no need to worry. Therefore, I will not worry about you Liufang If you want to increase your wealth again, do you have any objections?"

"No!" The six girls said with a smile.

It is a smile from the heart, because Lin Zuhui said that there is still a lot of room for growth, which is enough to make people excited.

At present, the market value of Apple is 5000 billion U.S. dollars, Amazon is 1500 billion U.S. dollars, Microsoft is 3500 billion U.S. dollars, and Google is 4000 billion U.S. dollars. The total market value of the four stocks is 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars. Based on the average shareholding of 0.7% per person, their net worth is already 100 billion U.S. dollars dollars.

Every house plus other wealth has reached the level of 2020 billion Hong Kong dollars, not to mention that it can continue to rise. Lin Zuhui will let them slowly reduce their holdings in March 3 (2 years).

At the same time, they are also foreigners, and their shareholdings are scattered and handled offshore. By then, their net worth will be 500 billion US dollars, which will not be a problem.

However, the equity held by Jingwei Capital in Apple, Google, and Microsoft is still continuing to reduce its holdings until the investment in US stocks is cleared (only Jingwei Capital).

Of course, Lin Zuhui's private investment company 'Hengjin Investment' has retained 2% of the stocks of Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.

In this way, the Lin family holds almost 6% of the shares of these companies, which is not a loss.

The Americans are not at a loss either, after all these companies were invested and developed by Lin Zuhui.

"Zu Xian, Qingxia, your assets are a bit thin, but TSMC, Hon Hai, and MediaTek have increased several times. After all, Taiwan Semiconductor is a global development trend, and Formosa Plastics is also good."

"Of course, I have prepared another investment plan for the two of you. You follow it and I will pay for it."

"The plan is simple, you two will each buy 2% of Penguin stock, and I will pay for it."

Lin Zixia happily thanked her. Although Wang Zuxian was calmer, she was also very happy. After all, this was Lin Zuhui's wish.

Next, Lin Zuhui said to Li Zhi, Zhang Min, and Zhou Huimin: "The three of you also each bought 2% of Penguin stocks, and I will pay for the funds."

The three daughters did not expect to receive a big gift just after joining this official family group. They quickly thanked Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin for his generosity.

Wang Lingyin said with a smile: "He can make a lot of money. It's reasonable for the family to share the risk. Our family has huge wealth, so we shouldn't have conflicts over money. Our men also have plans in their hearts, so they are all sisters."

Another burst of thanks, after all, 2% of Penguin stock is worth 200 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Lin Zuhui then said: "Since you bought 10% of Penguin stocks this time, I want to cash out more stocks. Simply put, I cash out and you buy. The detailed plan is... In short, the market value of Penguin At least 3 trillion is reasonable, after all, where does the population come from.”

Lin Zuhui arranged step by step!

The tax rate of Xiangjiang stock market is not high, so there is no need for heartache. In fact, Lin Zuhui will not feel heartache even if the high profit tax rate of 10-15% in the United States is followed, after all, there are still several times the increase.

As a result, Jingwei Capital only has 12% of Penguin stocks left, and the Lin Zuhui Foundation still holds 10% (will cash out all within 3 years);

Charitable foundations will gradually cash out, but there is no such rush, after all, the 'Lin Zuhui Foundation' itself still has a lot of money to support charitable causes.

Matrix Capital’s 12% equity will gradually cash out 7%, leaving only 5%, and the family office will also hold 5% offshore.

After some operations, the Lin Zuhui family will probably hold 20% (including 10% for the five daughters) two years later, but only Jingwei Capital holds 5% in name.

In this way, Jingwei Capital only has Ali's shares left untreated, and Lin Zuhui will still choose to cash out.

Finally, Lin Zuhui said: "Okay, this matter is over, next we need to be HAPPY, cheer me up!"

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Zixia, the oldest, joined them. Although she is 59 years old, her actual age is only in her early 40s. She is considered a lady, and she is probably the same as when she retired in her previous life. She is still attractive.

Lin Zuhui doesn't care about those things, it's good to be familiar, and it's not like he doesn't have young people.

This weekend, Lin Zuhui plans to enjoy the weekend with everyone on the yacht for two days and two nights.

Chapter 771 [Big Brother Lin]

In May, two acquisitions of New Era Group were concluded, which aroused great public opinion in Xiangjiang.

They are:

Futura Group spent US$78 billion to acquire IndCor, the largest industrial real estate company in the United States;

Times Shipping spent 11.5 billion US dollars to win the logistics company of Singapore's "Oriental Neptune Shipping" - Meiji Logistics.

The two acquisitions worth up to 90 billion US dollars are undoubtedly very shocking, but considering that it is the New Times Group, the citizens of Xiangjiang have become accustomed to it.New Era Group started its business through acquisitions, and is also well-known in the world. This year, it even ranked 500th among the world's top 48 companies, with outstanding performance.

Morris, the president of Times Shipping, came to Lin Zuhui's office to report on work, and Lin Wenjie also participated in it.

Lin Zuhui would never miss the time when he could personally teach his son, especially when it was related to the prospect of an important business.

"The shipping situation is still not optimistic. Neptune Orient accounts for 3% of the global container shipping capacity, but it has incurred a loss of nearly US$10 billion in recent years. Our container business accounts for 13.5% of the world. The mainland and Japan have formed a shipping alliance, and many other reasons, under the integration of resources, last year barely maintained a profit of 3 million U.S. dollars."

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "It's like this in shipping. When you make money, you earn desperately, and when you lose, you lose desperately. Whoever can survive the cold winter will be the overlord of the industry."

In the days from 2003 to 2008, including shipping in the era of ship/aircraft leasing (an important profit), the average annual profit was as high as 90 billion U.S. dollars, making a big profit of more than 500 billion U.S. dollars in six years; this is not counting the final sale of 60 billion U.S. dollars If the second-hand ship is added to this cost, it will earn 600 billion U.S. dollars.The initial investment was almost twice as profitable.

Morris said: "It is difficult for the container business to have the same market conditions as in 2003-2008. Fortunately, our logistics/transportation, port/tugboat, and aircraft leasing have grown."

Lin Zuhui thought about it for a while. He knew that there would be no big market in shipping, but the more this happened, the more he could maximize profits through market share and resource integration.

"Let's keep an eye on Neptune Orient. Next year, we can try to get in touch with the acquisition issue, because I think it will bottom out in the last three years. Although it won't rebound much, it is obviously very good to increase profits through market share. What's more, Maersk Biting us, Times Shipping also needs to stabilize its market share.”

Morris immediately said: "The biggest problem with the acquisition of Neptune Orient is the review by the European Commission. Since the shipping peak from 2003 to 2008, the EU has attached great importance to the shipping industry. It can be said that if the shipping industry hadn't been in a trough for more than ten years, our era It is also very difficult for shipping to take down China Iron and Steel Corporation.”

Lin Zuhui nodded. It seems that the acquisition of Oriental Neptune is an Asian matter, but it must pass the review of the European and American Business Council, unless you do not do business on Asia-Europe routes.

"There is no need to force it, but if the conditions are right, we will win it. To sum up, we are more willing to invest in logistics."

"Yes."

Then, Morris said: "What does the boss think of Prologis Singapore?"

Lin Zuhui asked back: "Are you interested in the logistics business of ProLogis in the Mainland?"

Morris nods!

After thinking for a while, Lin Zuhui said: "GLP in Singapore is not a good choice. They have invested heavily in logistics in the mainland, so there are many legal and political issues. Moreover, the logistics business of GLP and our time shipping is relatively high. , there is absolutely no need to buy."

Morris nodded in admiration. He just saw that the boss seemed eager to acquire, so he proposed.

Sure enough, Lin Zuhui sighed: "This year is the last year for New Era Group to make major acquisitions, and it will almost stop a large number of acquisitions from next year."

Anyone who is familiar with Lin Zuhui knows that he is the one who "doesn't earn the last penny", but he can "earn the last two cents", and the card position is very accurate.

Suddenly, Lin Zuhui had an idea and said: "Morris, you should inspect Ingram Micro (an international IT distributor) in the United States, and then make a report on the feasibility of the acquisition, and make a report at the high-level meeting later."

Morris nodded immediately and said, "No problem!"

To be honest, Lin Zuhui must be very sure that the company that can be acquired by the New Era Group with a large sum of money this year can make money, otherwise he would not take risks at all.

Ingram Micro is the world's largest IT distributor, ranking more than 500 of the world's top 200. Although it ranks so high, it does not mean that it is very profitable; Ingram Micro has an annual turnover of about 300 billion U.S. dollars, but its profit is only 2 million U.S. dollars , companies like this.

The world's top 500 companies look more at the annual turnover and ignore the annual profit.

Companies like Ingram Micro typically have high turnover and extremely low profit margins, not even reaching 1%; the same is true for Li & Fung Group including Xiangjiang, with such low profits.

This is the norm in the trade and logistics industry. The main business of Li & Fung Group is clothing trade. Orders are placed in Europe and the United States. Li & Fung Group acts as a middleman, looking for factories to manufacture, and then deliver the goods.

Ingram Micro is an IT distributor, so margins are very thin.

The reason why Lin Zuhui thinks that this company has a future is because of an incident in his previous life: HNA Group bought Ingram Micro International for 60 billion US dollars. At the time of the acquisition, the profit was 2 million US dollars, equivalent to 30 times the price-earnings ratio of the purchase; Profit has increased rapidly in the past few years, once reaching US$6 million a year, but when HNA was about to close down, it planned to sell it for US$58 billion.

Lin Zuhui couldn't understand the twists and turns in this even in this life.

Anyway, Lin Zuhui intends to buy it as his own property.

At present, the size of New Era Group, even if it has a price-earnings ratio of 30 times, will be acquired.

As long as it is higher than the bank interest rate, Ingram Micro International has a lot of room for growth.

After Morris left, Lin Zuhui said to Lin Wenjie: "Do you know why I said this year is the last year of the group's big acquisition?"

Lin Wenjie thought for a while and said, "The ZZ problem... and we have already bought a lot of bottoms. It's time to digest it and maintain sufficient cash flow."

Lin Zuhui patted Lin Wenjie on the shoulder, and said seriously: "I have made such rapid progress this year because I am confident that I will not leave you with a mess. And if you become the president of the group, you must remember, don't take risks, and be truly steady Don’t forget about development, and don’t forget about stability. Also, it’s not just the emergence of Xiangjiang...more importantly, the Yankees will not like the appearance of countries that challenge it, so...it will become more and more difficult to make money in the future, so, from next year Let’s start saving money for the group! Since 09, we have been buying bottoms for many years.”

Lin Wenjie has admired Lin Zuhui since he was a child, and his personality is actually more stable than Lin Zuhui, and he is much more low-key. It can be said that if Lin Zuhui is not time-traveling, he is not as good as him at all.

Just from the fact that Lin Wenjie can get married and have children with his first love, and he doesn't show off his wealth or make a high profile, it can be understood that he is a good successor who keeps money.

"Father, don't worry, I will keep it in my heart. Prudence is the most important thing, and I will never make rash progress."

"Okay! Our family has enough money and the company is big enough. It is easy to conquer the country, but it is not easy to defend the country. I hope you will keep it in mind."

"Well, I always keep in mind that it is not easy to guard the country!"

This kid is also very talented in speaking, and he doesn't even agree that it's easy to beat the country.

After Lin Wenjie left, Lin Zuhui smiled.

Is he saving HNA?

HNA bought and bought overseas in its previous life - Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York (US$20 billion), 25% equity in Hilton (US$65 billion), and Ingram Micro International (US$60 billion).

HNA has no hope of winning these three assets.

At this time, Lin Zuhui has no plans to hand over the identity of the major shareholder of Hilton Hotel (currently holds 52.5% of the shares, with a market value of 285 billion US dollars), and intends to stay in the hands of Barings Bank.

As for the Waldorf Astoria Hotel (property) under the Hilton Hotel, although it can be released, it must be at least 2017.

……

The Grand Hyatt Hotel is holding a wedding, which is the marriage of two wealthy families in Xiangjiang, He Zhuguo of the Tobacco Company and Lin Jianyue of the Lixin Group.

With the arrival of several Xiangjiang heavyweight government officials, reporters became curious.

"Will Mr. Lin Zuhui participate? The last time the three generations of the He family got married, Lin Zuhui only stayed for 5 minutes, which is shorter than Li Chaoren!"

"Then there is no way. After all, Mr. Lin Zuhui rose in the 80s and has a casual relationship with the He family. Besides, Li Chaoren and the He family have been in a relationship for many years, and they only stayed for 8 minutes."

"It's cool to have tea, not to mention that both of them are world-class businessmen, so they are naturally busy with work. The He family has a good relationship on the opposite side, but those two are not 'one-hearted', global development. Take a look at the recent two Almost all of the investments are in Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, and Li Chaoren is still withdrawing Hongkong and mainland assets!"

"Today's wedding is different. Lin Baixin and Lin Jianyue are from Chaoshan. Li Chaoren will definitely stay for dinner, but I don't know if Mr. Lin Zuhui will stay?"

"Not necessarily. There are so many children in the big family. Mr. Lin Zuhui participates every time, so there may not be enough time!"

"Lin Jianyue seems to belong to the big D club too?"

"But Lin Zuhui stopped playing with them more than ten years ago. After all, his identities are different, so there is the saying of the shadow leader."

For a while, everyone was concerned about whether Lin Zuhui would come or not, and whether he would eat or not.
