Time flies and flies by in a blink of an eye.

January 1, 1988, New Year's Day.

In the early morning, in the villa in Repulse Bay, Lin Zuhui opened his eyes and immediately took out his two numb arms.

Get up and walk out of the bedroom.

Guan Jiahui's eyes fluttered and she muttered: "Xiaoxian, why is this man so energetic? Can you insist on getting up so early every morning?"

Wang Zuxian didn't even open her eyes, she squeezed towards a warm place and fell asleep.

"?"

Guan Jiahui looked at Wang Zuxian who was approaching, helplessly closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

On the other side, Lin Zuhui came to the living room, picked up the newspaper and started reading.

The nanny immediately brought boiled water and placed it in front of him.

"Thanks!"

He is accustomed to reading the Economic Daily first. This is a highly professional newspaper owned by Wanhui Media. The current sales volume is more than 60,000, and the highest record is more than 80,000. The decline is not due to the decline in the quality of the Economic Daily, but to Xiangjiang.

People have become so obsessed with talking about stocks recently that the sales of financial daily newspapers and magazines have dropped sharply.

The Hang Seng Index closed at 2,300 points last year (1987), and the panic dissipated a little.

Regarding the trend of the Hang Seng Index, Lin Zuhui has a rough idea: from September 1988 to May 1989, there was a big market trend, and the Hang Seng Index rose from 2500 points to 3200 points. Because there was a zz incident later, there would be another

There was no reason why Lin Zuhui couldn’t remember the stock market crash.

As for the market situation after the '87 stock market crash' until September this year (1988), Lin Zuhui doesn't need to know. He doesn't do much stock trading now, and it is estimated that it has only increased slightly and fallen slightly.

"Economic Daily" not only contains news about the securities market, but also news about real estate. This round of real estate decline is indeed beyond everyone's expectation in Xiangjiang. This is also good news for Xiangjiang's economy.

However, not everyone has the courage of New Era Real Estate to purchase land and old properties on the market and exchange land rights deeds starting in late November.

Even the real estate companies of the four major families have not yet purchased large-scale land. They are still worried about the impact of the "July 3 stock market crash" on the local market, and they are not sure whether real estate will continue to fall.

There is no other big economic news. Everyone seems to be holding their breath and waiting for the arrival of April.

The reason is simple:

First, the current market is unstable;

Second, 'comprehensive acquisition must be at the highest price in the past six months' is a tight curse that everyone is waiting to break; it can be used not only for 'privatization', but also for 'increasing shareholdings', and more

On the 'Takeover War'.

Even Lin Zuhui has many plans that need to be implemented in April.

Forex Market: USD/JPY falls to 120 points.

Lin Zuhui has asked Li Hao to close his investment, invest 500 million, and obtain a net profit of 900 million.

At this time, Lin Zuhui's cash flow is still 4.5 billion (he has also invested 3 billion in Japanese securities, with a market value of 15 billion with five times leverage).

After a while, the ladies of the villa came to the living room one after another, and it suddenly became lively.

"Wen Yi, Wen Hua, are you still sleeping?" Lin Zuhui raised his head and asked.

"Both little guys are sleeping soundly?" Guan Jiahui said immediately, unable to hide the smile on her face.

Lin Zuhui stood up and said to everyone: "I will take you out later and give everyone a surprise!"

Suddenly, the four girls became energetic.

At this time, the villa welcomed back four hostesses. For no other reason than to consider the convenience of nannies and servants to take care of them together. After all, with two children, privacy and safety must also be considered.

Although this villa is small, it can accommodate four live-in nannies, and bodyguards can also work in the business car at the gate as a guard duty all night long.

In short, it is more convenient here!

after an hour.

Lin Zuhui took his four daughters to the ‘Lam Palace’ (Hui Yuan Villa Group) on Nanwan Road.

When the girls got off the car, they all marveled.

Guan Jiahui looked at the two rows of villas and said excitedly: "Wow, the villas here are so beautiful, they all seem to be newly built in European style!"

Wang Zuxian also happily agreed: "That's Repulse Bay over there, directly by the sea!"

Soon, everyone began to ask Lin Zuhui which building he bought, or which buildings he bought.

Lin Zuhui smiled and said nothing, but directly showed them around.

"This is Tower A1 and Tower A2. The swimming pools of these two villas face the sea directly!"

"Building A2, this is the observation deck. Let's see how stylish it is to hold a party on this grassland! You have an unobstructed view of the sea and the sea breeze is gentle."

"This is the north side. The first building is Building A, followed by Buildings C1\C2\C3. This is the south side. The first building is Building A2, followed by Buildings B1\B2\B3."

"These eight villas are surrounded by trees and shrubs. This is an independent kingdom."

"So, walls will be built around it, and there will be a security booth near Nanwan Road. The redesign and planning plan has been finalized. The road where we park will be converted into a tennis court, and the road will be used for mixed purposes.

"

Listening to Lin Zuhui's eloquent introduction, the girls finally understood that their man had bought all eight villas and planned to redesign the surroundings and turn this place into an independent kingdom - the Lin Family Palace.

For a moment, the women surrounded Lin Zuhui.

Guan Jiahui, the most favored one, was the first to attack: "Does that mean there is an eighth wife?"

This appetite is too big. This is what everyone thinks. They don't doubt Lin Zuhui's ability.

Lin Zuhui was stunned and immediately said: "Absolutely not!" He added in his heart: "There may only be seven villas to live in!"

"How many are there?" all the girls asked in unison.

"Well...can you live here?" Lin Zuhui suddenly said seriously.

He was not sure either. The one who was now clearly qualified to live there was Qiu Shuzhen;

As for Li Jiaxin, she is still a powder keg and we will wait until the explosion is over.

"Stay, of course you have to!" they said in unison again.

“In order, choose a location! Check in during the Spring Festival next year!”

The basic decoration of the villa has been completed, and there will be no problem if you stay there for more than a year.

After a while, everyone selected their own villas in order of family, and then started to look forward to it.

There is a certain distance between the eight villas, which is a bit like the royal palace in ancient times. If the concubine is not satisfied with living there, build a Qianqing Palace, a Jiaotai Palace...

.......

The next day, Lin Zuhui led several people to the Furama Hotel, including several white foreigners. These people were Lin Zuhui's new top management of Cathay City Hotel.

The original Lu Donglai was transferred to New Era Real Estate as a director, specifically responsible for the diversified expansion of New Era Real Estate and responsible for the general department; for example: telecommunications, retail, finance and other fields, and even the development strategy of ports (shareholding) and shipping.

This is a strategy re-formulated by Lam Cho-fai based on the organizational structures of Sun Hung Kai, New World, Henderson and other real estate companies.

Arriving at the conference room of Furama Hotel, Furama Hotel Chen Siming, Charlie and other hotel management teams had already arrived first.

After sitting down, Lin Zuhui reached out to a 40-year-old British white man and said: "This is the new president of Cathay City Hotel - Colbert. He has very rich experience in the hotel industry. He once worked at Hilton

Working in hotel management group..."

It is not easy to recruit international talents. Not only do you have to fire them with high salaries, but you also have to provide various benefits. What is most unacceptable to boss Lin Zuhui is that these foreigners require too long annual leave.

But there is no other way. Lin Zuhui plans to spend several billion Hong Kong dollars in the future to lay out a global hotel management network (acquisition) and also purchase a certain number of hotels.

Such a big move naturally requires corresponding management talents with an international perspective. Of course, more than half of the entire Cathay City Hotel management are Chinese senior managers, which can be said to be Chinese and Western managers.

Colbert's deputy is the original executive director Li Mingtao, who is now vice president.

After some introduction, Lin Zuhui said: "Manager Chen, please report on the business situation of Furama Hotel last year!"

Chen Siming was already familiar with the boss Lin Zuhui's style and was well prepared.

"Last year, Hong Kong's tourism industry was booming, and the Furama Hotel's performance also achieved nearly 30% growth, with a net profit of HK$63 million (profit in 1986 was 48 million, revised based on data)..."

Lin Zuhui nodded secretly. At present, the Furama Hotel has been purchased at a "fair price". He originally purchased it for a total market value of 1.58 billion (only purchasing 70% of the equity), and now the land of Furama Hotel is at 8.5 billion.

About 700 million, hotel assets plus construction assets, the absolute value is more than 700 million.

Even the annual profit of Furama Hotel is as high as 63 million. Considering only the profit of the hotel, the cost should be recovered in 10 to 15 years.

This meeting is mainly for everyone to get to know each other, and Cathay Pacific's new management team will also need to get used to it for a period of time, and then Lin Zuhui will arrange expansion tasks.

........

........

Lin Zuhui came to Wanhui Media and summoned the general manager Long Jingchang.

At the end of December, Wanhui Media spent 300 million to purchase a small building in Causeway Bay, bringing the company's property assets to 600 million. It is expected that the net rental profit this year (1988) will be nearly 50 million, accounting for one-third of the group's profit.

one.

Wanhui Media will become the most profitable media group in Hong Kong, and the company has almost no debt and 80 million in cash on its books.
