The media reported that a company called Bowater purchased 25% of the shares of two companies, European Aviation and British Airways, for a sky-high price of 2.5 billion yuan.
For a time, a storm of public opinion arose regarding the large-scale transaction of commercial projects in Xiangjiang.
The public did not know who the boss of Bowater was, so the media went to inquire about the information. Of course, the most anxious one was the Bao family of Wharf. They were the largest shareholders of Modern Containers, and now someone suddenly lost their shares by only 0.8%.
%, how can we not be in a hurry?
No. 78, Deep Water Bay.
The Charter King looked seriously ill, but he didn't dare to let anyone get a glimpse of his attack power. I heard that he was still staring at the opponent, so we knew that he wanted to fight until his death.
Wu Guangzheng had not yet come out of the shock, and said in a confused tone: "Why did European Shipping and British Railways release their shares without informing us? Who paid such a high premium to acquire the shares? What is his intention?
What?"
The charter king snorted coldly and said, "Why are you so nervous? Just ask HSBC's Puves and you'll know."
Wu Guangzheng was immediately startled and said quickly: "That's what my father-in-law said!"
The charter king continued: "No matter who he is, his shares are slightly smaller than ours. I think if he wants to take down Modern Containers, he will definitely ask China Merchants, Swire & Co., Jebsen & Co., and HSBC & Co., etc."
Four shareholders. But as of now, it seems that none of these four shareholders will hand over their shares, so we don’t need to rush. Maybe others are just here to join."
Wu Guangzheng nodded, and then said regretfully: "If we get the 25% of the shares, Modern Containers will no longer be our associated company, but our subsidiary company."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
When it comes to this, even the charter king is very excited. To put it bluntly, an associated company is a shareholding. The Wharf Group is not the boss at all. Everything must be discussed together. If it is a subsidiary company, then Wharf has the right to speak.
Quite big.

In the Landmark’s conference room.
Lam Cho-fai and Simon Keswick signed a huge transaction project. Chinese Real Estate purchased a building and seven shopping malls from Land for 4.5 billion, including famous properties such as Causeway Bay World Trade Center, Newport Center, and Excelsior Shopping Center.
.
In terms of price, the premium is a little more than 20%, but it is a saving of 20% compared to before the plunge.
The important thing is that without this sudden incident, Land would not have chosen to sell at this juncture.
After signing the contract, Simon Keswick smiled and joked: "Lin Sheng, don't come to us to buy properties again. Our current high-quality properties in Central are not for sale."
Lin Zuhui said in his heart: "Didn't you sell the No. 9 Queen's Road building in the previous life?"
However, he still responded with a smile: "Mr. Ximen, in the past few years, our New Era Group has spent a total of 11.5 billion on land. In fact, you still own a property worth 30 to 40 billion in Central.
Property Management is still the largest real estate company in Hong Kong."
Land's property is so rich. The property area of seven buildings in Central is more than 4.8 million square feet. Together with No. 9 Queen's Road, which is under construction, the rental area has exceeded 5 million square feet.
These buildings are first-class locations and first-class commercial buildings, including three Exchange Squares, Land Building, Gloucester Building, etc. Therefore, they are several percent higher than the properties in the Convention and Exhibition Center. If they are sold, the price is 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per square meter.
Ruler, there is no problem.
It's a pity that Land will not be sold.
Simon Keswick is inevitably a little proud. It has sold so many properties and is still the real estate company with the highest market value.
Of course, Land's market capitalization is only RMB 19 billion, and its net assets are twice that. Obviously, investors are not very keen on speculating in Land.
"Mr. Lin, thank you very much! The rent-collecting properties of Chinese Real Estate and New Era Group will exceed 8 million square feet in a few years!"
Lin Zuhui has never calculated this, because a lot of it is under construction, but it should be more than 8 million square feet, including under construction.
It's terrible. This is already the largest real estate company in Xiangjiang.
“Many of them are still under investment, and they are completely inferior to the buildings that have been put into use, such as Land.”
After completing this transaction, Chinese Real Estate's debt has reached 5 billion, and it still needs to pay a large amount of construction fees and interest every year.
However, after acquiring these properties, Chinese Real Estate's annual rent has reached about one billion, which is enough to support the company's operations.
The debt is a full 1 billion less than Lin Zuhui's expected. Moreover, Chinese Real Estate still has 25% of Yongji shares, worth 800 million, no problem.
As for the debt of 5 billion, Huazhi does not need to make money financially at all. It can collect rents, repay loans, interest, and pay construction costs at the same time.
Once 1992 arrives, rents rise sharply and new buildings are completed, the annual rents of Chinese real estate will reach several billions.
At present, the only thing left for Chinese Real Estate is to be 'privatized', and it is expected to come up with a plan in November.
...
The next day.
Hong Kong's second best-selling "Economic Daily" published an article written by a professor from the University of Hong Kong. The article pointed out: Hutchison Whampoa's International Container monopolizes 65% of Hong Kong's container terminal business; this time they jointly occupy 30% of Hong Kong's container terminal business.
Modern Containers, which operates the container terminal business, jointly bid for the No. 8 container in Kwai Chung, aiming to monopolize the container industry in Hong Kong.
A tabloid published an article written by a primary school student - "Hong Kong is the city of the Li family": In fact, Hong Kong is the city of the Li family. He is our God, and all things are created by him. His power far exceeds that of humans.
They provide shelter for workers and protect Hong Kong from typhoons and heavy rains. They have sacrificed so much, but they just hope that we can go to work on time and not get off work on time. This is the greatness of Brother Cheng.
For a time, citizens deeply felt that they were inseparable from the Li family in every aspect: the electricity they used was from the Li family, the house they lived in was built by the Li family, the supermarket they went to was a supermarket opened by the Li family...
It seems to be praising Li Chaoren, but only the person involved knows the hidden dangers it brings.
.......
When Lin Zuhui came to the office building of Xiaomi Technology, Zou Kaixuan was already waiting, and he was ready to officially invest in the high-tech industry and reshape the image of the Lin family real estate developers. Invest first in the electronics industry, and then in life technology. Anyway, just for fun!
Sitting on the boss's chair, Zou Kaixuan came behind him and took the initiative to massage Lin Zuhui. His technique was pretty good.
"How is the sales of the Xiaobawang game console in the mainland?" Lin Zuhui said while enjoying it with his eyes closed.
"Not bad! Compared with the counterfeit game consoles in the mainland, the quality of our Xiaobawang game consoles is higher, and the return rate is getting lower and lower, at about 5%." Zou Kaixuan said with excitement.
She is a woman who controls a technology company, which is something that makes people proud no matter what.
Lin Zuhui immediately attacked: "The return rate of 5% is too high. It should be controlled at around 2%. Then let the management pay close attention to quality and production."
Zou Kaixuan immediately said seriously: "Okay, I will definitely work harder!"
Lin Zuhui patted her hand and pulled her forward. Zou Kaixuan was about to squat down, but Lin Zuhui raised his chin and pulled her up again.
"Why are you so anxious! The work is not finished yet! Don't be in the office anymore, go to the hotel later!"
Zou Kaixuan's face suddenly turned red. She might have misunderstood, but it was fine as long as the man liked her.
"Um"
Next, the work continues.
Lin Zuhui said: "Xiaomi Technology has been established for almost a year, and now it is time to develop! I bought an industrial building and will convert it into an office building and factory building with a full area of 200,000 square feet. Xiaobawang
Bian, you slowly hand over the work to senior staff, and you only need to spend half the effort. Now you come to Xiaomi Technology as the president, recruit management and technical personnel for me, and we will prepare it by the end of the year."
Zou Kaixuan asked: "Develop that VCD you mentioned?"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "In addition to VCD, there is also the development of Chinese pagers. VCD, I have told you the principle. The most important thing for that thing is to go to the United States to obtain the patent for the digital compression chip. This is the heart of VCD, but
Convert TV signals into digital signals... In short, these two products are marketed in the mainland, so we need to set up R&D departments in Hong Kong and Shenzhen at the same time and produce them in the mainland."
Both products are not high-tech products, but what Lin Zuhui wants is to be the first to eat crabs.
In his previous life, Jiang Wanmeng, director of the Hui Province Modern Television Technology Research Institute, went to Las Vegas to participate in the International Radio and Television Exhibition in 1992, and met Chinese-American Sun Yansheng in front of a very small booth. Sun was displaying a digital compression chip.
It is the heart of VCD, which can convert TV signals into digital signals. From then on, Jiang Wanmeng was stuck with this small chip and thought hard all day long. One day after returning to China, he said: "If we compress the signal on a CD disk
, made into a player, this chip will create a very big industry."
Lin Zuhui is rich. Once the research and development is successful, his funds can quickly promote the product in the market. In the previous life, Wan Yan developed VCD and promoted it for another year. When the market accepted CVD, Wan Yan had no money.
After advertising, I can only watch helplessly as major manufacturers come in to take a share of the pie. The important thing is that Wanyan has not registered a patent.
Xiaomi Technology is different. It will secretly develop VCD until the product is successful, and then immediately launch a large number of advertising promotions; of course, the patent must be registered. At that time, Lin Zuhui will only need to let Jack Cheng be the spokesperson, and then buy CCTV's Biao Wang.
Don’t be afraid of unsuccessful marketing.
In fact, this thing doesn't make much money, but it is an accumulation of brand and technology.
Zou Kaixuan said: "Then do you want to invest in factories in the mainland?"
She knew Lin Zuhui's style, which was to not be short of money and invest heavily from the beginning.
Lin Zuhui said: "Of course, let's get land to build a factory in Shenzhen, as big as possible! But don't worry about this first, help me set up the company first, and we will also set up a R&D department in Shenzhen."
Zou Kaixuan nodded!
The mainland has sent an invitation to Lin Zuhui to visit the capital early next year. Obviously, this is a high honor. Moreover, Lin Zuhui does not know whether Li Chaoren has been invited, but judging from the time, Lin Zuhui will be the first in the 1990s.
People who are officially invited to Beijing.
Its importance is self-evident!
The two chatted for a long time in the office. Lin Zuhui would not hide it from Zou Kaixuan if he had any ideas.
First of all: this industry is just for fun. Whether it succeeds or not, the Lin family will have an impact on people - they have also worked hard in the scientific and technological industry and made contributions to the scientific and technological industry.
Secondly: Zou Kaixuan is a woman who naturally worships the strong, which is spiritual worship.
