Lin Zuhui arrived at New Era Real Estate early and first picked up the newspaper prepared by his assistant and started reading.
The Hang Seng Index closed at 1760 points last week, which surprised Lin Zuhui. It basically ran below 1800 points throughout July, even as low as 1730 at one time. If Lin Zuhui hadn't firmly believed that history would not change like that, he would be a little panicked now!
At this time, nearly half of his net worth was invested in the stock market, which was comparable to a 'big gamble'.
The next piece of news made Lin Zuhui feel a little funny: Huang Yulang claimed to have a net worth of 240 million Hong Kong dollars, and the American "Wall Street Journal" called him the billionaire prodigy who "draws rainbows".
Another media outlet revealed: After hearing the report from the Wall Street Journal, Huang Yulang, not knowing where he was for a while, proclaimed himself the 'Yulang Emperor' to his employees. The entire group was the 'Yulang Empire', and he even planned to establish the 'Empire Printing Company'.
factory'.
Lin Zuhui couldn't help laughing. He was thinking that even after Huang Yulang's Yulang Books went public, he could still raise funds through rights issues because Huang Yulang held 75% of the shares of the listed company and only 25% of the public shares. The rights issue was just right.
Let him dilute his shares (the major shareholder refuses to pay and gives them to other investors); however, "Tiantian Daily", News Building, "Fresh Weekly" and other industries that originally belonged to Huang Yulang have been taken over by Lin Zuhui in advance. He should
How to expand his Yulang empire?
As well as his 'apprentice' Ma Rongcheng, Wanhui Media is also in contact to discuss the terms of cooperation. Wanhui Media will also enter the comics industry by then.
Next, Lin Zuhui saw another piece of news: Swire Properties had acquired the Admiralty Barracks Lot 2 with an area of 172,000 square feet for a price of 1.1 billion.
As early as April 1985, Swire Properties acquired Lot 1 of the Admiralty Barracks for more than 700 million, covering an area of more than 110,000 square feet. Now, including Lot 2, it is equivalent to their possession of more than 280,000 pieces of land in the Admiralty Barracks.
.
Such a huge land became the famous "Pacific Place" in later generations, which brought together three first-class hotels, two first-class office buildings, and a huge shopping plaza.
The feeling of envy is beyond words.
Lin Zuhui could only stare. If he was given another two or three years, he believed he still had hope.
"I remember that Swire Properties purchased the South China Morning Post Building and the Toppan Building in Quarry Bay in the 1990s. I would snatch them up if I had the chance!" Lin Zuhui smiled.
However, this is not an easy task. Purchasing a building requires a huge amount of funds, and the payback period is very long, and the interest on the loan will also eat up the rent. Because of this, even a powerful boss like Li Chaoren, with his hands
In fact, there are not many buildings for rent on the Internet.
These big guys are very particular about the turnover of goods. They developed many high-quality buildings in the 1970s and 1980s, all for the purpose of selling; for example, Li Chaoren won the bid for the Universal Building at Central MTR Station, Haifu Building at Admiralty Station, and
There are Elizabeth Building and Locke Building rebuilt by British American Tobacco Company. These were sold and a large amount of development funds were recovered.
While looking at the news in the newspaper, Lin Zuhui was also thinking about how he should catch up with the four major families and the top ten chaebols.
At this time, his development was already a little better than that of Liu at the same time in his previous life. After all, New Era Real Estate has a much higher market value than Aimei Gao, and it is impossible for Chinese property owners to turn their son into his mother.
In the morning, Li Hongming from HSBC's foreign exchange department called and said that USD/JPY had fallen to 155.5 points.
"Okay, help me close my position, thank you!"
Lin Zuhui instructed Li Hongming to close the position without hesitation, and then leaned on the chair with a touch of reluctance on his face.
This wave of USD/JPY started to fall from the highest point of 262 points, and in less than a year and a half, it fell to 155 points. It can be described as a real "secret of getting rich".
But after this wave, Lin Zuhui's investment in USD/JPY will be suspended. Although there will be repeated turbulence later, it is a game played by predators after all, and he does not dare to participate rashly.
He invests in foreign exchange, gold, oil, etc., and only dares to invest in major emergencies such as the "Plaza Accord"; because this is an irreversible trend, and he does not worry about being attacked.
However, after the 1987 stock market crash, the U.S. dollar/yen appreciated again and the U.S. dollar/yen fell from above 150 points to 120 points at the end of 1988. You can participate in this market a little, but you can't be greedy. Lin Zuhui has this in mind.
think.
Liang Zhenxun came to Lin Zuhui's office and reported: "Boss, I bought all the futures contracts. There are 5,500 contracts in total. It took 15 trading days and nearly 100 million margins."
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "Well, let's see how the stock market develops next! Our entire New Era Real Estate Department has invested a lot in the stock market. Two companies, New Era and Huazhi, have invested 1.5 billion in stocks.
300 million), futures contract 500 million (principal 100 million).”
Liang Zhenxun said with a smile: "The boss is full of confidence, the stock market will definitely rise soon!"
It may seem like a lot of investments are made with leverage, but it is true that the risks are high.
But judging from the scale of the entire group, even if these funds are lost, it is not fatal, but it will affect the company's reputation.
Lin Zuhui rubbed his temples. He was worried about the rapid development of the company.
"By the way, what's the specific situation of our industrial building investment?"
"Very good! The industrial buildings we purchased last year were worth RMB 350 million (with a down payment of 20%), and now they have increased significantly. Coupled with the fact that industrial buildings in Xiangjiang are already very tight, I estimate that we can earn a net profit of RMB 150 million to RMB 200 million by the end of the year."
Lin Zuhui showed a smile. He originally asked New Era Real Estate to invest 70 million in industrial buildings. Unexpectedly, he could make more than twice the profit in a little more than a year. This investment seemed to be not bad!
It seems that leveraged real estate speculation is also a shortcut to making a fortune!
In Xiangjiang, there are countless billionaires who rely on leverage to speculate in real estate.
Some time ago, Lin Zuhui met a very interesting new immigrant, Yang Yongqiang, on his construction site.
He applied to immigrate to Xiangjiang in 1976. When he first arrived in Xiangjiang, Yang Yongqiang worked as a construction worker in a project contracted by relatives, with a daily salary of only 15 yuan. Because of his hard work, he quickly became a contractor.
In 1978, Yang Yongqiang spent 8,000 yuan to buy a wooden house in Diamond Mountain to live in. In 1981, he sold it at a high price and received 40,000 yuan in cash, more than four times the profit.
Therefore, Yang Yongqiang realized.
In order to accumulate enough capital, Yang Yongqiang continued to underwrite projects from construction companies; in 1985, he already had enough capital, and then he specialized in off-plan properties in Huangpu Garden for high-rollers and made a lot of money.
The down payment for an off-the-plan property only requires 10%-15%, and when Huangpu Garden started selling off-the-plan properties in April 1985, it only cost HK$600 to 700 per square foot. More than a year later, the price of Huangpu Garden has risen to more than 1,000 yuan.
For every square foot, if calculated based on a down payment of 15%, Yang Yongqiang made more than four times the profit.
Yang Yongqiang is using these funds to build an industrial building; according to the current progress, it is entirely possible for him to make another huge profit in this wave of surge in industrial building prices.
Yang Yongqiang’s experience is definitely considered a ‘legend’ among new immigrants!
There are many examples of new immigrants from the mainland like Yang Yongqiang, but in previous lives there were no top-level wealthy new immigrants.
Now, Lin Zuhui has become their leader, idol, and their goal. Everyone knows that Lin Zuhui was a new immigrant in 1979, so he is a god-like existence among hundreds of thousands of new immigrants, and his status is even higher than that of Li Chaoren.
high.
"Let's do this for now. The company will focus on developing new properties and let's digest the rest for the time being." Lin Zuhui said with finality.
"OK!"
It’s impossible not to digest it, because New Era Real Estate doesn’t have much funds on its books. Even if Lin Zuhui wants to use it, it’s not enough.
In the afternoon, Li Hongming from HSBC's foreign exchange department called and said that Lin Zuhui's foreign exchange position had been successfully closed. After deducting commissions and taxes, he made a total profit of 70 million and withdrawn 120 million.
"Okay, I'll pick up the check tomorrow!"
In an instant, Lin Zuhui became a billionaire again, with a cash flow of more than 130 million.
...
75 Deep Water Bay.
Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin came to this old-fashioned villa covering an area of more than 20,000 square feet. Recently, Lin Zuhui bought it from a British-owned foreign company for 45 million.
It's very cheap, and it's still a "deserted" hillside.
Strictly speaking, the geographical location of Deep Water Bay is not as superior as that of Repulse Bay. The reason why it became as famous as Repulse Bay in later generations is because people such as Li Chaoren, Charter King, Kadoorie, Xu Shixun and others lived here. The effect of celebrities led to the development of Deep Water Bay.
Bay house prices.
As for the villa at No. 75 Deep Water Bay purchased by Lin Zuhui, it is actually very old and needs to be rebuilt at a huge cost.
Pulling Wang Lingyin, who was a young woman for the first time, Lin Zuhui tirelessly introduced his ideas for reconstruction;
Because he was a real estate developer and had a certain design foundation, Wang Lingyin was fascinated by the villa he painted.
"Brother Hui, can we really hold a wedding in a villa like that?" Wang Lingyin said yearningly.
"No problem! If the design and construction starts this year, it is expected to be ready for move-in in 1990. By then, you will be in your third year of college, so there will be no problem in getting married and having children!" Lin Zuhui made no secret of his thoughts on building a family.
It can be said that Lin Zuhui's prediction was that Wang Lingyin would be pregnant with his child in 1989, and she would get married and have children in college.
As for Xiangjiang University, the most important thing is to donate some money. The school will not embarrass Wang Lingyin, and the graduation certificate can be sent to her home. Of course, Wang Lingyin's grades are very good, and she usually does not use too big a back door.
Although Lin Zuhui likes Wang Lingyin, he must be selfish and consider the inheritance of the family, so it is inevitable that he will create more people when he is young.
Although Wang Lingyin is young, she has been deeply influenced by Lin Zuhui. She said happily: "Of course I have no problem, I will listen to you. I wish I was two years older so that I could complete the inheritance for Brother Hui earlier!"
Lin Zuhui stroked Wang Lingyin's hair and said dotingly: "Don't worry, I will only turn 22 in December this year. I can wait for you for three years!"
Indeed, he is quite young!
Wang Lingyin seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Actually, you can let Sister Ning and the others have the baby first, and I won't care!"
She could tell from Lin Zuhui's arrangement that Lin Zuhui regarded real estate and media as his main assets, and the fashion empire was arranged for Sister Guan and Sister Ning. As for Sister Zuxian's career, Brother Hui may not have thought of it yet.
In short, she believed that Brother Hui had a long-term plan for everything he did, which could not be changed by anyone.
Therefore, the best way to 'fight' is for her not to fight.
What's more, her brother Hui is not yet 22 years old, and his future achievements are too great, so she doesn't need to fight or annoy him.
Lin Zuhui patted Wang Lingyin's hand and said, "I will consider it!"
To be honest, he is also concerned about his own heirs!
Even though he is very strong in that area, and extremely strong, if he can't grow anything, then he really should be on the verge of tears.
Therefore, he is also considering whether the activity is good or not.
Thinking of this problem, Lin Zuhui couldn't help but think of Wang Dehui, who was also a rich man. It was really miserable. He didn't have any descendants, but he was kidnapped and killed later.
You must know that in the mid-1990s, Gong Xinru had a net worth of 25 billion, ranking fifth on the super billionaire list with Huo Yingdong.
A big reason why Wang Dehui was repeatedly kidnapped is that he is rich but not powerful.
Just imagine, there are two situations in which you are unlikely to become the prey of kidnappers: those who have no money and no power, and those who have money and power.
The kidnapper's purpose is to get money, so what's the point of kidnapping a poor person? The kidnapper wants money, but the kidnapper doesn't dare to attack a wealthy person who is powerful.
Before the 1990s, Wang Dehui's wealth ranked more than a dozen among the Chinese, but he had never held any public office or received any honors; he had no contacts with the political circles, business circles, or even the Shanghai Gang. He was rich in billions of dollars, but he
He has never done any charity work, and he has no social foundation. This can be seen from the fact that he kidnapped him for the second time and the media "gloated" about his misfortune and exposed his scars.
In addition, Wang Dehui has never been exposed in public places or in the media. Wang Dehui's face is extremely unfamiliar to the public, making it easier for kidnappers to kidnap him.
In this way, Wang Dehui is certainly the most ideal ‘meat ginseng’.
Lin Zuhui is not worried about kidnappers targeting him, after all:
First, he was kidnapped, no one raised the money to ransom him, and he was not married;
Second, although he has money, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just stocks;
Third, he is not only rich, but also powerful. His power includes his own "media influence" and the big bosses he has friends with.
Fourth, the most important thing is that he firmly believes that if he breaks out, he can wipe out all the kidnappers. His body is a secret weapon.
Of course, he still attaches great importance to his security issues and has a bodyguard team of eight people and advanced foreign security equipment.
...
Regarding the reconstruction of No. 75 Deep Water Bay, Lin Zuhui specially asked New Era Real Estate to form a responsible team; as for the funds required, including the 45 million to purchase the original site, he pledged the shares of Wanhui Media to obtain an 80 million loan
to pay.
As for the 130 million funds in his hand, he then began to buy September index futures contracts;
He must eat as much as he can before the August 7th stock market crash; otherwise, his future development will be restricted.
Although it is not difficult for him to come up with hundreds of millions in cash now, in fact, that little money is nothing. The four major families are already worth tens of billions; a high-quality building is worth more than 1 billion, and he even bought a building.
There is no money.
Meanwhile, the Hang Seng Index started rising on July 21, rising 4% in a week.
Lin Zuhui guessed that the market might be coming.
In his memory, it rose to 2,500 points at the end of the year, but now it is just over 1,800 points. It is time to enter a period of surge in the next five months.
The rise in the stock market will not only increase his personal wealth, but also several of his companies will benefit immensely.
Compared with traditional businessmen, Lin Zuhui's biggest advantage is that he can use stock market rights issues to raise funds, and stockholders and investors are also very popular with him.
So when the big market comes, it means that his company should also develop.
