In the office of Huazhi Center, Lu Donglai, the head of the comprehensive department, was reporting to Lin Zuhui.
"Historic convenience stores currently have a total of 16 stores, and have initially established a complete retail network. All stores are at a profit level... Our supermarket brand 'Yonghui Supermarket' Tsuen Wan store will open this month
....."
Lin Zuhui listened and thought.
Any large real estate company in Xiangjiang has retail business (including the retail of clothing, medicine, and daily necessities), and New Era Group will naturally be involved. This is an issue of influence.
At present, the retail industry in Xiangjiang is dominated by Jardine Matheson (7-11 Convenience, Wellcome Supermarket) and Hutchison Whampoa (Watson's, Mannings, Parknshop), occupying more than 50% of Hong Kong's supermarkets. Hua
Leap entered supermarkets in Hong Kong in 1984 and currently has 30 stores.
There are both comprehensive and specialized supermarkets in Xiangjiang. They all have a complete range of goods and are compactly arranged to make up for the lack of space. At the same time, Xiangjiang supermarkets have many outlets, so you don’t have to drive for shopping like in Europe and the United States, and they also make up for the lack of parking lots.
After listening to the report, Lin Zuhui said: "The characteristic of Yonghui Supermarket is a fresh food supermarket. In this regard, you must pay special attention to the 'freshness' of fresh food. Only in this way can we find every opportunity to get a share of the supermarket market."
Lu Donglai nodded and said, "Well, we have now established a complete fresh food supply chain, and we definitely have an advantage in this regard!"
Lin Zuhui continued: "You are going to hand over the retail business of the comprehensive department to senior staff. Now you have a new task, which is to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary of 'Times Communications' and prepare for satellite TV immediately. The Hong Kong government will also release funds in the next two years."
Our group must actively participate in opening up the mobile phone market and telecommunications market."
Lu Donglai's mood was suddenly aroused. He was an executive who returned to Hong Kong from a top student, and he once served as the general manager of Cathay City Hotel, and was later transferred to the comprehensive department. He only had one retail business under his control, which was obviously overqualified.
If his boss hadn't talked to him, he would have thought he had been demoted.
"The boss is talking about satellite TV. Did he negotiate with Asia Communications to lease transceivers? And satellite launches are also dangerous!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "It's the same, let's prepare first! I plan to invest 3 billion (not a one-time expenditure) in this project. After the broadcast is launched, I will try to cover more than 30 countries and regions and have 50 million household users."
Lu Donglai was surprised. His boss was as ambitious as ever.
"Where is the Hong Kong government?"
"If I go to talk, they won't deny me face!"
Lu Donglai was immediately shocked. He didn't know when his boss had an influence no less than that of Li Chaoren.
After Lu Donglai left, Lin Zuhui fell into deep thought in the office.
Today, the comprehensive department of New Era Group invests in retail, satellite TV, and is also preparing to enter the mobile phone market. The telecommunications industry is extremely ambitious.
Not only that, for the container terminal business, Lin Zuhui is also planning (mainly acquiring shares), intending to win over future projects such as Kwai Chung Container Terminal 8 and 9, and the River Terminal.
His idea is that the New Era Group has sufficient cash flow, and if he wins the Ming Pao Group this year, his influence will take another step forward; then, whether it is the British Hong Kong government or the mainland officials, they will win over Lin Zuhui even more, and his status will not be high.
It will be lower than Li Hugua. After all, Lin Zuhui also has communication industries such as ATV and DreamWorks.
These projects can provide stable returns and increase Lam Cho-fai's influence in Hong Kong, so they are still worth investing in.
Such planning can be regarded as starting a war with the "Li Family's Xiangjiang" and cutting off Li Huagua's strength by several percent.
Of course, Lin Zuhui also considered whether he would be called "Lin Cucumber" in the future and be despised by others?
In fact, he has already thought about entering the mainland and only doing commercial real estate projects and infrastructure projects, and doing less residential projects.
In addition, LEIT Group can solve a large number of jobs for the mainland, and Xiaomi Technology will be its only magic weapon to reverse the negative effects.
He thought that after all, Xiaomi Technology is just a technology company in Hong Kong, and it can still have a certain degree of flexibility in the collision between China and the West. The worst case scenario is that before 2015, he cashes out most of his shares and leaves, leaving it to his successor to make ends meet.
Regardless of political factors, Xiaomi Technology can start to create many products for mankind, such as VCDs, USB flash drives, MP3s and other world-class products. By then, Lin Zuhui will have saved a lot of his reputation.
Of course, by that time, his sons would have already blossomed all over the world, and it would be of no use to him to protect them from the wind and rain.
Finally, the problem came back. It turns out that having more children is very helpful!
It’s like a phenomenon: Why do paralyzed officials in various countries let their children immigrate?
.......
Sunday, March 19th.
In the mid-level area, Diligende Pavilion has welcomed a group of people from Hong Kong who are either rich or noble to view houses.
This time, New Era Real Estate will sell 68 residential units in the first building of Diligende Pavilion, and the remaining 8 residential units in the first building are currently leased.
After New Era Group took over the project, it began to clear out the tenants in the first tower and arranged for the second tower to be rented out; even so, there were still eight tenants who had not expired or negotiations had failed.
But it doesn’t matter. There are 68 residential units, covering a total of 272,000 square feet, and the price is NT$4,180 per square foot. The unit price is the most expensive luxury residential property in Hong Kong.
Because it is an existing house, New Era Real Estate adopts on-site inspections and sells it on a first-come, first-served basis.
As a result, there were so many wealthy people who came to view the house that day that it was sold out in just 3 hours, making it the biggest topic in Hong Kong for a while.
Before leaving get off work that day, Lin Zuhui heard the good news about Chen Xiaofen in his office.
"Well, it's a bit beyond my expectation. The people who buy houses are all rich people. How many do you know?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chen Xiaofen said with a smile: "I know many of them, such as the 'Banana Water King' Ye Zhicheng, who bought 2 units alone; and 'Packaging and Printing'
The king, Lin Guangru, also bought 2 units... Of course, there are many unknown people. There are so many anonymous rich people in Xiangjiang. One person bought three residential units. As a result, I have never heard of this at all.
Number one."
Lin Zuhui nodded. Chen Xiaofen was very good at communication and knew many celebrities in Xiangjiang. If she didn't know them, it meant that the rich man was really low-key.
Lin Zuhui guessed that many of these people are the descendants of warlords or deviant sects, or even the descendants of Manchu survivors. These people came to Hong Kong with a lot of gold. Even if they don't do business, as long as they invest in some properties, they will have a long-term success
, wealth will also increase day by day.
As for those who cannot keep their family property, they only belong to a small number of families. Most families know how to invest better than ordinary people.
For example, the Fu Laorong family sold the Furama Hotel to themselves and cashed in a total of 1 billion; and as far as Lin Zuhui knew, the Furama Hotel only had one-tenth of the Fu Laorong family's property.
In other words, this family already had tens of billions of assets in the late 1980s.
In the previous Hong Kong billionaire list in 1990, there were only three people with wealth exceeding 10 billion. You can imagine how "ignorant" the wealth list is, as they only calculated personal wealth based on market value.
In the small city of Hong Kong, there are many richer people than everyone imagines.
After Chen Xiaofen left, Lin Zuhui calculated his financial situation in Hong Kong in the office.
Blue chip stocks are expected to withdraw funds: 1.3 billion (500 million and five times leverage, net profit of 800 million, currently 70% cashed out)
USD/JPY foreign exchange: 2.8 billion (1.08 billion principal, ten times leverage, currently 132 points, expected to ship above 140 points)
Diligende Pavilion withdraws funds: 800 million
Estimated funds withdrawn from the futures index contract: 600 million (250 million principal, buying point below 2500 points, the current Hang Seng Index is 3100 points)
Almost 5.5 billion in cash!
But his debts are also 3 billion.
There is no rush to repay the debt, it is better to use these funds to buy at the bottom, and try to have enough to eat and drink this time.
New Era Group, Chinese Real Estate, and the Lin family all had 5 billion to 6 billion in cash before the crash. When these bullets are fired, the "bang bang" sound will continue.
...
Monday.
Liang Botao, chairman of Peregrine’s board of directors, came to Lin Zuhui’s office.
He asked tentatively: "Are you really pickpocketing the Yongan Group shares in the hands of Chinese Real Estate? You know, as long as you take over Zheng's shares, even if you fully acquire Yongan Group at the highest price of 24 yuan, it will still be
It won’t be a loss!”
Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "I don't believe you want to ask me about this. You want to ask about the securities situation, right? You, Peregrine, want to go public through a backdoor merger?"
Liang Botao suddenly laughed, knowing that he couldn't hide it from his friends!
Although he is pretentious about the securities industry, he actually admires Lin Zuhui's vision!
"Yes, we have taken a fancy to Kwong Sang Bank and plan to acquire it through a backdoor listing!"
Hong Kong Kwong Sang Hong is a cosmetics company, and its brands such as Yashuang and Liushen are all its brands. As for these brands in the mainland in later generations, they are just assets confiscated in the past and used for continued development.
Lin Zuhui nodded and said mysteriously: "Just wait for the opportunity, there is no need to spend a high price now!"
Liang Botao understood instantly and said immediately: "I have learned a lesson!"
Although he is a professional securities expert, he is definitely far behind Lin Zuhui in terms of the general trend of securities. Liang Botao has already admired Lin Zuhui greatly for his investment in blue chip stocks before the 1987 stock market crash.
Not to mention, everyone is saying that Lin Zuhui is a foreign exchange master and the "stock god" in Hong Kong.
Lin Zuhui finally said: "When the time comes, New Era Group will come to participate in the shares and support you!"
"Thanks!"
Liang Botao felt that he actually didn't help Lin Zuhui too much. Those securities consultants in the past were just business; while Lin Zuhui made his own decisions in stock trading, he was just a consultant.
On the contrary, it was Lin Zuhui who helped him a lot. When Peregrine was established, Lin Zuhui personally lent him 30 million in cash and arranged for New Era Group to buy shares in Peregrine (the shares can be redeemed). It was a great help.
Now when it comes to backdoor listing, Liang Botao can't help but ask his friends for their opinions!
In fact, Lin Zuhui's idea is very simple. He does not dislike too many talents, even if they are not of much use to him now, he is still willing to help. Li Chaoren's intelligence group is said to have 300 people, and he, Lin Zuhui, also has a lot.
Li Chaoren's Queen's Counsel Li Yeguang is now also a director of New Era Group. Li Yeguang is very famous. He has served as a director of more than 20 companies, accounting for 20% of the market value of Hong Kong. Therefore, it is not possible to hire any one company.
Come on, not to mention that in two years, someone else will be the chairman of the Stock Exchange.
After Liang Botao left, Lin Zuhui leaned on his seat.
Before the crisis came, he and many people revealed a little information, which of course would not affect the market. Even if he publishes news in newspapers now, calling on stock investors and real estate speculators to liquidate, those people may not listen. It is like when the government fire engines opened
Just like on the exchange, investors still go their own way.
The information revealed to Liang Botao was very simple, that is, the stock market is too high now, so we can wait.
Once the plunge occurs in May, Liang Botao will know when to act!
If it is a backdoor listing, the stock price should be low to a certain level; if it is a full acquisition, wait until after the end of October.
