In the conference room of LEIT Group, Lin Zuhui listened to the reports from the heads of each brand, with a faint smile on his face.
The group's full-year profit will exceed 250 million, and its performance growth rate is gratifying.
This company is positioned by Lin Zuhui as the LVMH Group in Asia. It does not really want to develop into the luxury goods industry. It is just a comprehensive mid-to-high-end brand group, and its main development is in Asia.
Of course, the current 'Asian brand' is 'crocodile shirt'. Whether in Southeast Asia, Japan, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, South Korea, or the mainland, its business is developing very well. With strong financial investment in promotion, 'crocodile shirt'
The annual profit from 100 million when he took over has reached about 160 million this year, an increase of 60%.
Hong Kong's "crocodile shirt" and France's "crocodile shirt" are in a lawsuit, but Lin Zuhui doesn't take it to heart at all. Can a European brand do as well as an "Asian brand" in Asia? As for the crocodile in Sing Tao, it is actually called Catile
Crocodiles are nothing to worry about.
The second largest performance is fashion retail. This year's profit has increased again, and it is estimated that there will be no problem with 40 million.
The third-highest performance is the 'manufacturing department', with annual profits expected to be around 30 million. Since it is run independently, it is also accounted for separately.
Ranked fourth in performance are ‘Jeanswest Casual Fashion’ and ‘Lukfook Jewelry’, with an estimated annual profit of 20 million.
At the bottom is the underwear brand 'Ouchi Agent', which does not make money. The underwear brand is not the focus of LEIT Group. The biggest goal is just to have a place in Asia. The important thing is to enter the mainland market and enjoy a wave of benefits. As for the original saying that it would
Lin Zuhui had already passed on the idea of holding a catwalk show in the UK. It was expensive and laborious, and it might not be successful. It would be better to develop in Asia. When funds are abundant in the future, it will be more cost-effective to acquire in Europe and the United States.
Through this meeting, Lin Zuhui also decided to set up a group management network next year to make it easier for himself and just grab the heads of the group management. Originally, LEIT Group was just something Lin Zuhui did, and it was not counted as his core industry, so his job
The focus will not be on this in the future.
After the meeting, Roger separately reported the news about Yongan Company's "breach of contract".
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Do we need to care? It's just a specialty store! Yong'an Department Store is also in the sunset!"
Roger nodded and said, "Okay, boss! But this matter is still quite irritating. I have been talking about it for a week, and Yongan Company suddenly changed its mind. Although there is no contract, it is too illegal."
Lin Zuhui thought for a while and said curiously: "Is there someone behind this matter? Is it possible that Yongan Company still doesn't make money even if it's rich? Go check it out and see if Zuo Danu is meddling in it? If so, then our company
How did the news about the negotiations with Yongan Company leak out?"
Roger also realized that there must be a reason why Yongan Company broke the contract without any reason!
"I'll find out!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and added: "Don't report this to me, just make your own decision!"
2k
"Yes, boss!"
...
Returning to the office of Huazhi Center, Lin Zuhui once again took out information about the 'Yongan Group'.
Yongan Group issued 181.5 million shares. The share price on that day was HK$7.2 per share, with a market value of 1.307 billion.
Together with its subsidiary Wing On Corporation, the two listed companies own properties such as Wing On Center (Central), Wing On Building (Central), Wing On Life Building (Central), Wing On Plaza and Nanyang Center shopping mall (Tsim Sha Tsui East).
The 600,000-square-foot rental property in Wing On Center is worth 2.7 billion based on the standard property price of 4,500 yuan per square foot in the same location.
The total property market value of the two companies is: 5.6 billion!
Lin Zuhui took out the map again, found the location of Yongan Building and Yongan Life Insurance Building, and immediately discovered a very big opportunity:
These two buildings are adjacent to New World Plaza, and between the two buildings is the Liu Chong Hing Building (De Voeux Road). These four buildings are all small buildings. If they are merged and rebuilt, a 40,000-square-foot commercial building can be obtained.
First-class land. Based on a plot ratio of 15 times, a first-class building of 600,000 square feet can be built.
Good guy, plus the 600,000 square feet of Wing On Center, we suddenly have a 1.2 million square feet of first-class commercial building in Central.
This means that it becomes the second shareholder of Central, second only to Land.
For a moment, Lin Zuhui's eyes were about to shine!
Central is the most expensive place in Hong Kong. As a real estate developer, who doesn’t want to own a huge rent-collecting property in Central. However, at present, except for land companies, no real estate developer has a huge rent-collecting property in Central (more than 2 million square feet).
).
Lin Zuhui quickly calmed down and began to think about countermeasures!
There were two problems before him:
First, the shares of the Guo family exceed 45% of Yongan Group, which is difficult to acquire. But it is also worth noting that about 2% of the shares are in the hands of "non-board" Guo members of Yongan Group, and this
The family is not united.
Second, Lin Zuhui doesn’t really want to take over hostile takeovers now. Although he can find a reason to say that Yongan broke the contract without any reason, this reason is not enough to control public opinion now.
Both difficulties were great, and Lin Zuhui fell into deep thought for a while.
The Guo family is not very powerful. Important wealth is distributed among dozens of third-generation members. If a takeover war breaks out, as long as they sweep up stocks in the secondary market and drive up prices, the Guo family will have no power to compete.
Secondly, the two points of shares in the hands of the peripheral members of the Guo family are crucial, and often those two points can determine the outcome.
Finally, in the previous life, as the second shareholder of Wing On Group, Sing Tao Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (holding 25% of the shares), was interested in selling the company. Sun Hung Kai's Feng Yongxiang immediately informed his friend Cheng Jiachun, who immediately decided to acquire Wing On Group.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! All kinds of information emerged in Lin Zuhui's mind, and finally he decided that 'the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind'. After Zheng Jiachun launched a hostile takeover, he immediately became the first
The three of them swept the shares of Yongan Group in the market, and before Guo's reaction, they swept the shares of the market.
His idea is simple, Zheng Jiachun is in the light, and he is in the dark. New World announces a formal acquisition and purchases shares in the primary market (hostile takeover); while Chinese Real Estate is in the secondary market, sweeping up shares.
The best result: the two companies join forces to annex Yongan Group, divide the properties, and sell junk industries such as department stores, securities, bank investments, and insurance to the Guo family, allowing them to inherit their ancestral business.
Moderate result: As of the date of full acquisition, neither party has reached 51%, so everyone sat down and negotiated; since Yongan Group did not have the confidence and strength to rebuild a large Grade A office building in Central, we negotiated: a joint venture between Chinese Real Estate and New World
The consortium purchased Wing On Building and Wing On Life Insurance Building and prepared for reconstruction. (PS: In this era, there are still many small buildings in Central, and the reconstruction of merged buildings has been a feature since the 1990s.)
The worst outcome: Of course, the Kuok family obtains 51% of the equity. This is where Chinese Land and New World have welded hundreds of millions of funds for a year or two.
But no matter what, the current market value of Yongan Group is 1.3 billion. Even if it rises to 3 billion, it is still worth acquiring. (In fact, it is difficult to rise to 3 billion.)
Lin Zuhui got up and started pacing in the office!
He cannot join third-party acquisitions for no reason, otherwise he will easily offend Zheng Jiachun.
Unless - he has the magic weapon to win - that is, the shares held by peripheral members of the Guo family, then he will be 'famous'. After all, he can say that he has already been preparing. If you say this to Zheng Jiachun in private, you can
It's the third party. Of course, Zheng Jiachun is in a losing situation. With Lin Zuhui joining, he should be grateful.
If he wants to acquire peripheral shares of the Guo family, he and his company cannot come forward directly, otherwise it will attract the attention of others.
You have to find someone you trust, and you have to be good at talking and tricking!
.......
When Fang Jin came to the Chinese Center, he couldn't help but sigh. Five years ago, the elder was just a young man who was less than 20 years old and had no job and no support. Today, the elder has become famous in Hong Kong, is famous overseas, and has a net worth of tens of billions.
He himself is doing well, with a net worth of nearly 200 million, and has his own career. Of course, all this depends on the support of the elders, otherwise he would still be just one of the many people on the street, how could he be rich?
Arriving at Lin Zuhui's office, Fang Jin called out affectionately: "Big boss!"
Lin Zuhui stood up, came to Fang Jin, and patted him on the shoulder to show his closeness.
He occasionally called Fang Jin to play in the "Zheng Lin Circle" to support this younger brother. If Chungking Mansions still couldn't change the fate of the fire in the future, Lin Zuhui said, this younger brother could win it.
After sitting down, Lin Zuhui said: "I called you here this time because I plan to give you a difficult task!"
Fang Jin immediately said: "The boss said so, I promise to use my full strength to complete it for you!"
Lin Zuhui nodded, his attitude was not arrogant, and of course he was not qualified to be arrogant in front of him!
He informed Fang Jin about the situation of the Guo family in Yongan Group, and finally said: "Your task is to find the most suitable third generation of the Guo family and seduce him with profit. Let him buy the Yongji stocks of peripheral members of the Guo family.
Come down and sell it to you at a high price!"
Fang Jin thought for a while and said: "It's not that difficult! After all, Yongji's stock is in ruins, and those outsiders holding it are simply worthless. If I bribe another outside member of the Guo family to do things for me, the rest of the Guo family who own the stock will
Members will not doubt it."
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "That's true when I think about it! You can offer a price that is 30% to 50% higher than the market price to the bribed member of the Guo family. In this way, he will not have to work hard to do things for you! But there is one thing.
He cannot be allowed to buy or sell in the market. You can participate in the stock transactions of both parties as his assistant. And let me tell you, Guo's Peripheral only has 2% of the shares."
The net value of Yongan Group's stock is above 20 yuan, which is much higher than the current stock price of 7.2 yuan. It is also very cost-effective to acquire twice as much.
"Don't worry, boss, I guarantee he won't sway me!"
Lin Zuhui nodded. Stock transfers in the primary market are all covered by legal documents, so he doesn’t have to worry too much!
After Fang Jin left, Lin Zuhui no longer took the matter to heart.
If Fang Jin succeeds, everything will be possible!
If Fang Jin fails (alerts the enemy or fails to purchase), Lin Zuhui will give up the idea.
If this matter is successful, Lin Zuhui will not treat Fang Jin badly and will remind him to clear his warehouse in April next year, which can be regarded as a huge reward for him.
Thinking of the huge rent-collecting properties of Chinese Land, Lin Zuhui couldn't help but be fascinated.
After the plunge, he will continue to hunt for the bottom and start merging buildings in earnest. Many of his small buildings are surrounded by small buildings. As long as the merger is successful, he will get several times the income.
.......
Time flies, and ten days pass in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, Fang Jin dug up a lot of information about dozens of people from the third generation of the Guo family, and also met a third-generation Guo family member named Guo Zhili through friends.
This Guo Zhili was also in business, but it was not successful. On the contrary, losing money was commonplace, and his finances were naturally not sufficient.
What's important is that Fang Jin inquired and found out that Guo Zhili and Guo Zhiliang, the current head of Yong'an Group, were not from the same family, but had great conflicts with Guo Zhiliang.
At that time, Guo Zhiliang's group came to power, not only expelled Guo Zhili's group from the board of directors, but also held them responsible for corruption in the company, and almost went to court at one point.
Because of this, Guo Zhili has very strong opinions on the Guo family that is now in power.
After Fang Jin determined his goal, he met Guo Zhili through his friends, and they all had two meals together.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On this day, Fang Jin invited guests again, and Guo Zhili went happily.
Guo Zhili was very happy to get in touch with this new friend who was generous and heroic.
This time the two went to a high-end entertainment venue, and Fang Jin boldly asked Guo Zhili to order two young ladies.
After drinking for three rounds, Fang Jin said: "Brother Ren, how is your relationship with Mr. Guo Zhiliang, chairman of the board of directors of Yongan Group?"
Guo Zhili's face suddenly became a little ugly, and then he said harshly: "The relationship is not good. If I want to ask me to cooperate with him, you may waste several treats!"
At this time, Guo Zhili believed that Fang Jin was so close to him because he wanted to cooperate with Yongji.
Fang Jin said with a smile: "Brother Ren misunderstood! In fact, I want to buy your shares in Yong'an Group and plan to make a long-term investment!"
Guo Zhili was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and then said: "Yongji has been ruined by Guo Zhiliang and the others. The stock price is as low as cabbage. If you want to invest in the long term, why don't you buy individual shares in the market!"
Fang Jin said with a smile: "The main reason is that I want to invest 5%. Buying from the market may increase the stock price!"
Guo Zhili suddenly realized, but said regretfully: "I only have 500,000 shares. It's of no use if you buy them. You might as well buy them in the market!"
Fang Jin nodded and said: "You can also buy it on the market. Even if the premium is 30% to 50%, it is very worthwhile for long-term investment!"
Guo Zhili was shocked and said quickly: "You also want the 50% premium?"
Fang Jin said with a smile: "Yes, it's a long-term investment anyway. The property value in Yongji is so good, I don't believe it won't double several times in the future!"
Guo Zhili was heartbroken. The property value was good, but other industries were losing money. The group's annual profit was only 130 million. However, the rent collected by Guang Yong'an Center was almost over 200 million, which showed that other industries were suffering.
It would be better not to do it, which is described as Yongji.
"Since you regard me as a friend, how about selling my 500,000 shares to you for 10.5 yuan?"
Guo Zhili felt a little uneasy in his heart. He did not regard Fang Jin as a friend. He finally caught a traitor, so naturally he had to kill more.
Fang Jin hesitated for a moment, and Guo Zhili's heart suddenly swelled. He blamed himself for being too shameless, because he would sell it even if it was 20%!
"It's not impossible, but I hope that you will come forward to buy the shares held by those who are not members of the Yongji Board of Directors, including the Guo family! I won't let your help go in vain. You can eat them at 20%, and I will pay 40%.
Eat what you have at the right price."
Guo Zhili immediately made some calculations and found that the peripheral members of the Guo family held almost 2.8% of Yongji's shares, so he could receive only commissions.
"No problem, I agree to this deal!" Guo Zhili had no doubt that he was there, because Fang Jin was just a small builder, just doing some decoration projects, and there was no threat.
Besides, others have said that buying 5 points in the market will definitely increase the share price, and it may be even higher.
Fang Jin felt relieved. Taking down Guo Zhili was equivalent to half of the success of the plan.
However, he said cautiously: "I am still buying odd shares in the market, so I am also worried about your family members buying odd shares in the market, so I hope I can participate in every transaction with you."
"This is what it should be. After all, I can't afford that much money in advance!"
Fang Jin laughed and said: "Money is nothing! Come on, let's have fun today!"
