Steve warmly received Lin Zuhui in the office. He knew that Lin Zuhui had predicted risks this time and sold a large number of scattered properties and real estate before the collapse. Today's New Era Group and Lin Zuhui himself have huge financial capabilities and can go hunting for bargains.
estate.
Of course, the premise is that Hong Kong will not become a smelly port.
Steve is not sure about this. Will Hong Kong's economy and real estate industry slump?
However, the stock market has rebounded slightly now, which is true!
Moreover, under the call of the country, some European and American entrepreneurs have actually withdrawn from Hong Kong in large numbers. Even the 'Asia Satellite 1' has been banned from sale and transportation by the US government (later, with the efforts of CEFC, the ban was lifted again
).
Steve said: "Mr. Lin, I am very curious about a question!"
Lin Zuhui immediately said: "I know this question, you want to ask me if I predicted this plunge?"
Steve nodded!
Lin Zuhui said seriously: "There will be signs in March... Also, Xiangjiang real estate and the stock market have surged again after the August 7th stock market crash. I think it is also possible to fall into adjustment. So, I am accurate
The risk was predicted!”
Steve immediately admired what Lin Zuhui said was reasonable, but if these analyzes had been published in newspapers, not many people would have believed it!
After a long time, Steve said: "Your success is inevitable! I believe that you will soon show your amazing view of the world on the world stage."
Lin Zuhui shook his head with a smile and said: "The foundation of Xiangjiang has not been firmly laid, how dare it develop in world business!"
Steve said curiously: "You Chinese businessmen have been buying insurance overseas these years. Aren't you worried?"
At this time, Lin Zuhui's apparent overseas investment amounted to less than 1 billion, which was seriously inconsistent with his status. People like Li Chaoru's overseas investments amounted to tens of billions, or even tens of billions.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I lived there when I was a child. I feel now that compared with that time, the mainland has opened up a lot. And I believe that it will become more and more open, step by step. Not your Yingjiang government.
That kind of..." The implication is that he is already protecting the motherland.
Steve smiled bitterly: "Well, I can't refute you! Why are you here this time?"
"cooperate!"
“Excellent welcome!”
Lin Zuhui nodded and said first: "The first cooperation project is about the 'Garden Road Land King' in Central. This is what I think. We will sell you 20% of your equity and then invest in this project together."
Steve said in confusion: "We are a bank and rarely invest in real estate!"
Lin Zuhui smiled and analyzed the project: "This project, I want to build it into the core area of a bank. One of the buildings can be named Wan Guo Baotong Building as your headquarters in Xiangjiang; the other building is called Asia Pacific Financial Center...
..."
After Steve heard the analysis of this project, he immediately became excited. This is a great thing!
At present, their headquarters building is leased and the area is small enough. A bank's headquarters building reflects the strength of the bank. For example, in the late 1970s, HSBC started investing a huge investment of 5.5 billion to build the HSBC Tower.
The same goes for Bank of China Tower.
After calming down, Steve asked: "Can 30% of the shares be okay? It's not that I dislike our small shareholding, but we plan to attract some partnership companies. They can invest in this project and will also move into these two buildings in the future.
"
As a large conglomerate in the United States, there is no need to question its network of connections. This is what Lin Zuhui is interested in. If he wants to build a core bank area in the Central District, a large number of banks and financial companies must move here, otherwise it will not be considered a core banking area.
It just so happens that Citigroup has this network. Japanese financial companies are all their little brothers, and their little brothers are everywhere in the world.
However, Lin Zuhui still said: "President Steve, you just said that you don't invest much in real estate. Besides, 20% is already a huge investment. My budget for the entire project is 6 billion!"
Steve didn't force it. What Citibank cared about was the naming rights of the building and the influence of the entire project. Twenty percent was fine, and half of it was given to the partnership companies.
"Okay, I will apply with the headquarters as soon as possible! Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, I believe there is no problem with this project and I will give you a reply soon!"
Lin Zuhui nodded. This project in his previous life had already started construction this year, and New Era Group can also start construction this year.
Then, Lin Zuhui continued: "For the second project, I want to loan another 2 billion to New Era Group!"
Steve was shocked and said: "Didn't you just reach a 3 billion loan with HSBC? Moreover, you already have a cash flow of 5 billion in your account!"
Lin Zuhui said confidently: "The 8 billion funds are used to develop real estate. The 2 billion funds are used to develop container terminals. Moreover, President Steve, you should understand how rich our net assets are.
Bar!"
Steve hesitated and said, "But the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is sluggish, and the value of your assets has also depreciated!"
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "How many people in Hong Kong can immigrate with conditions? How many overseas countries can accept? In fact, immigration is only a choice for a very small number of people, and most citizens have settled down. Therefore, the slump in real estate is temporary.
, we bought it the cheapest, so why worry about the asset value not increasing sharply again! Also, have you, Wan Guo Baotong, considered withdrawing from Xiangjiang?"
Steve was speechless. Despite the low-key tone of the Yingjiang government, real large and medium-sized enterprises will still not withdraw from Xiangjiang. How could they give up the market that they had finally conquered just because of a few words from the Yingjiang government?
"Okay, a 2 billion loan is no problem! After all, you also have a lot of assets!" Steve said with a smile.
Then, Steve curiously asked: "You are investing in a container terminal. Is it because the Hong Kong government is planning to tender for No. 8 Kwai Chung Terminal?"
Lin Zuhui suddenly had an idea and immediately said: "I am planning to acquire the main equity of Sea-Land Container. I wonder if you, Wan Guo Baotong, can provide some help?"
Steve thought for a moment and said, "I'm willing to provide some help and convince them!"
Lin Zuhui became happy. With Wan Guo Baotong's help, he would be more confident.
He immediately added: "Actually, we only need to acquire the main equity and cooperate with the American Sea-Land Container. They have the technology, we have the connections, and we can work together to compete for the Kwai Chung terminal that will be tendered next."
Steve nodded. Lin Zuhui was right. After all, he was a local and had considerable influence in Xiangjiang. It was indeed a win-win situation.
"Okay, I will persuade them!"
Lin Zuhui did not expect to have three gains today and left Wan Guo Baotong in a good mood.
In fact, he has another idea in cooperating with IWC, that is, when investing in the United States in the future, it will be better to have Citigroup as a consortium to lead the way.
Of course, securities investment does not need to be made public, keep a low profile.
However, some industrial investments will inevitably require the guidance and cooperation of US-funded consortiums.
But after his funds reach a certain level, the annual return rate of 10% on some investments will also be considered, so by then, money will really have to be spread all over the world. He must have good relations with foreign consortiums and banks, which will be more beneficial to the local area.
Lin Zuhui looked at the stocks on the computer and seemed to be in a good mood. Starting from July, the Hang Seng Index began to rebound and has now risen to around 2,500 points. And all of his 3 billion funds have already been bought into blue chip stocks and December futures.
Sit back and wait to get paid.
Because there is no leverage, there is no need to consider any risks. I believe that making a billion by the end of the year will not be a problem.
After a while, two people walked in, one was Li Hao, the general manager of Hengjin Investment, and the other was Zhao Weijian, the head of the real estate investment department of Hengjin Investment.
The so-called 'Real Estate Investment Department' is the property management department of the Lin Zuhui family. After all, this time he personally wants to buy a large number of shops, office buildings (units are floors), luxury houses and other high-quality properties, plus the original investments of Furama Hotel, Central Plaza,
Wanguo Baotong Plaza, Diligende Pavilion, etc.
With so many real estate assets, it is impossible for Lin Zuhui to collect rent wearing slippers and carrying keys!
So is it good or bad?
Therefore, Lin Zuhui hired a senior employee from Chinese Real Estate to be his "retainer" and set up a real estate company for himself - Hengjin Real Estate, a subsidiary of Hengjin Investment.
Zhao Weijian handed over a piece of information and said: "Boss, all the procedures and information have been sorted out, and Hengjin Real Estate is on track."
Lin Zuhui planned to wait and see, and said, "Have the coordination with New Era Group been completed?"
New Era Group has strong channel capabilities, whether it is buying or selling, it is top-notch in Hong Kong; it cooperates with many intermediaries, and the people in its marketing department are also very capable. Once there are any high-quality properties on the market, they can quickly
Discover.
Zhao Weijian nodded and said, "Well, everything is coordinated!"
Relying on the channels of New Era Group, Hengjin Real Estate only needs to directly participate in the purchase and manage it later.
"Okay, there are a lot of transaction projects recently, please work harder and communicate with me at any time!"
"No problem, boss!"
After Zhao Weijian left, Lin Zuhui said to Li Hao: "Once the Nikkei Index reaches the point, start preparing for a cash-out position. But you must pay attention to an impact issue, and do not cause too much alarm in the market. I can give you a
Reminder, there will be no problem for the Nikkei Index to rise to the point by the end of the year or early next year. We have a lot of time to move."
Li Hao nodded seriously. The boss has made tens of billions of profits in the Japanese securities industry (excluding paying a lot of interest). Now if he wants to move back to Xiangjiang, Hengjin Investment has to do his best. Fortunately, in recent years, foreign capital has entered one after another.
Japanese securities and real estate have hundreds of billions of dollars in capital, and Hengjin Investment is not very eye-catching.
Hengjin Investment used dozens of offshore companies and hundreds of accounts to invest in Japanese securities. It can be said that the boss had anticipated such huge profits back then.
"Okay, I will organize elite soldiers and generals to complete this mission! This month it touched the point, but it has been adjusted back a bit!"
Lin Zuhui said directly and firmly: "If it is lower than the point, we will not cash out. If it is higher, we will slowly cash out. I estimate that we can start at the end of August. We have almost four or five months. Take your time!"
Of course he remembers that the plunge will start in February next year, so he can arrange the evacuation time reasonably. This is simply the trump card of the time traveler.
Li Hao said seriously: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
Lin Zuhui still said uneasy: "I will go to Japan to supervise the war when the time comes. Don't put too much pressure on everyone."
"Um"
This time, a full 13 billion yuan of funds can be withdrawn, which is equivalent to Lin Zuhui's disposable funds of 21 billion yuan (loans of 6.5 billion) in the next half of this year. So far, more than 4 billion has been spent, mainly 3 billion Heung Kong Securities Investment
, the king of land in Garden Road, Central (only the land fee, the rest is a loan), and a large number of high-quality properties.
