On the last working day before the Lunar New Year, Lin Zuhui was still working hard at his job. In his previous life, he had long been absent-mindedly waiting for the holiday; but now that he is his own boss, his mentality is completely different, and he does not feel impatient at all.
There are seven fairies running the house and nearly 30 servants at their disposal, so there is no need to worry about a bad year!
However, Lin Zuhui also encountered some minor troubles.
After his investment in the Mainland was reported by the media, some negative social news came out.
Someone scolded him:
‘Invest in the Mainland and make fun of shareholders’ money’
‘He’s just like a brave fool’
'Unfathomably stupid'
The trend of relocation is like a dark cloud, which is a severe test for every rich man.
The Changshi Group has a majority of traditional British capital. Except for Li Chaoren and others who do not agree to the relocation, 98% of the board-level senior personnel advocate relocation.
New Era Group has very little British capital (such as Standard Chartered Bank), the Lin family has monopoly power, and the relocation faction has not established a climate within the group.
The charter king once said that no company in the group would be relocated. When Bao was critically ill and his son-in-law was in charge, his traditional British-owned Lane Crawford company couldn't wait to relocate to Bermuda.
Compared with these relocation factions who talk about the situation with disdain and are afraid of everything, Lin Zuhui couldn't wait to go to the mainland and negotiated the most difficult highway to recover the capital, as well as the second phase factory of Leit Group. Most investors actually didn't understand it.
However, Lin Zuhui ignored it. He was the group leader and decision-maker and had the right to make any decision.
Unlike other group companies, New Era Group’s dominance can be said to have reached the level of ‘dictation’.
As for the impact on stock prices, it does have a certain impact:
First, the impact of negative news;
Second, office rents have dropped (New Era Group’s office buildings account for a large proportion);
Third, the debt once again reached 13 billion.
To sum up, the stock price performance of New Era Group is not good. Cheung Kong and Sun Hung Kai are good, but it is still the "number one real estate company" for the time being; after all, the current market value of New Era Group is the result of annexing the market value of Chinese Real Estate.
In terms of stocks, Lin Zuhui doesn’t take it seriously!
As long as New Era Group's annual net profit is on par with Cheung Kong and Sun Hung Kai, the group's operations will have no problems, and its stock price will naturally not perform too poorly. And once office buildings in Hong Kong pick up, New Era Group will be able to defeat these two real estate companies.
...
That day, in the conference room of the Huazhi Center, Lam Cho Fai, Lee Shau Kee, Cheng Jiachun, Kui An and others began to sign the agreement to form the "Asia Container".
After the asset reorganization of Asia Container, New Era Group holds 28% of the shares, New World holds 26%, Sea-Land Container Transport holds 22% (U.S.-owned), Henderson holds 10%, and other consortiums hold 14%.
Lin Zuhui is the chairman of the board of directors of Asia Container, the general manager is Kuian (Sea and Land Container Transport), and the others are directors.
The reorganized Asia Container owns Kwai Chung Container Terminal 3 (1 berth in total), 2 berths in Kwai Chung Container Terminal 8 (4 berths in total), and the Asia Container Handling Center Building (the world's largest vertical container handling center).
Assets such as Asia Freight (land transportation network in Mainland China and Hong Kong).
After signing the contract, Lin Zuhui said happily: "This time we broke the high monopoly of international containers. It is very difficult, but everything is worth it! Long-term stable income is the biggest advantage of this industry; and the container terminal business is increasingly
Growth means that this industry has a bright future!”
Everyone looked at the young Lin Zuhui and couldn't help but admire him! The two berths for container No. 8 this time were all thanks to Lin Zuhui's strategy. After all, when International Containers and Modern Containers joined forces, everyone had completely given up on the idea of bidding.
As a result, Lin Zuhui directly and forcefully pulled Modern Containers to his side, forming a strong showdown.
If it is said that Lam Cho-fai paid a price of 2.5 billion, everyone thinks it is not true at all. The Wharf Group has no idea how envious Lam Cho-fai's stocks are; and now that Lam Cho-fai has not sold it, he is afraid that he is waiting to make a fortune from the Wharf Group in the future.
After all, at this time, Lam Cho-fai holds 25% of the equity of Modern Containers, and the Wharf Group holds 25.8% of the equity of Modern Containers, which is only 0.8. The remaining shareholders are China Merchants Holdings 21%, Swire 18%, HSBC 6%, and Jetta Matheson 4.2%. As long as
If any one company defectes, Wharf Group may lose its dominant position over Modern Containers.
Zheng Jiachun said: "The growth of Hong Kong's container terminal business is visible to the naked eye. Despite the turmoil last year, the container terminal business has not been affected at all. This industry does have a bright future!"
At present, the container terminal berths in Xiangjiang are still insufficient, and many times people need to queue up to unload cargo. The gap is about 5% of the business.
Lee Shau Kee also expressed his opinion: "If this trend continues, No. 9 Container Terminal may be tendered in two years, so we must hurry up and build the two No. 8 Container Terminals to learn rich development experience!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "Don't worry, everyone, we not only have the technical support of American sea and land containers, but also hired expert consultants. We will definitely be able to build a first-class berth terminal."
Everyone nodded. If Modern Containers didn't come up with the technical solution, the Hong Kong government wouldn't approve it.
When I thought about it, I also had a container terminal business and a fleet of ships (Hong Kong Shipping); before I knew it, Lin Zuhui had become a ready "Sea King".
The future of shipping is still very good, especially in the 1990s. Moreover, in the 21st century, Hong Kong ranked fourth in the world in terms of the number of registered ships.
This shows that Xiangjiang is still suitable for developing the shipping industry.
In the next year, Lin Zuhui plans to develop Xiangjiang Shipping. Through profits and loans (loans are not included in New Era Group's account), he will buy some container ships and still be able to catch up with this wave of dividends.
After the meeting dispersed, Cheng Jiachun and Lee Shau Kee came to Lam Cho Fai's office for a chat.
Lam Cho-fai asked Cheng Ka-shun: "Has the Liu Chuang Hing Building in Central been completed?"
Once the Liao Chong Hing Building is completed, New World Development can merge the Wing On Building and Wing On Life Building in its hands with it; the reconstructed building will be a first-class building in Central with a total area of 560,000 square feet.
If it weren't for Lin Zuhui, how would New World Development have such luck?
Zheng Jiachun nodded and said: "Well, I bought it at a price close to before the crash! However, the office market has not been good in the past two years. I have no plans to rebuild immediately. I will wait and see for another year!"
Lin Zuhui was laughing in his heart. New World Development had no money and its debts were 9 billion. You must know that New World Development's net asset value was probably only about 60% of New Era Group's.
Of course, their prediction of the situation is not as accurate as that of Lin Zuhui. Once the office buildings under Chinese Land are built, they can basically catch up with the opening of the mainland, that is, the rent of office buildings in Xiangjiang will rise sharply.
Lee Shau Kee was concerned about Lin Zuhui's affairs in the Mainland and said, "I heard that you plan to donate to a middle school in Shunde?"
Although there were Lee Shau Kee Center and Zheng Yutong Middle School in later generations, there is only the Overseas Chinese Middle School in Shunde. This school has donations from Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong.
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "I am deeply touched by my visit to Beijing this time! The current situation in the mainland will not last long, and I believe it will be more open soon. For those of us doing business, the mainland is a huge market.
With a population of more than one billion, if each person earns 1 yuan, we can earn more than one billion!"
Both Cheng Jiachun and Li Shauji had very excited faces. They were also invited, but probably after Li Chaoren, who went to the mainland on the 10th of this month.
Lin Zuhui reassured the two companies that they were not worried about grabbing his mainland market because the market was too big.
.........
The next day.
Today is New Year's Eve, and Lin Zuhui has officially started to give himself a five-day holiday. Although he doesn't have many relatives in Xiangjiang, he has many father-in-law and mother-in-law. What's more, he also has many friends and allies.
Therefore, there is no way to socialize during the five days of the Spring Festival, and many social activities can only be postponed after the five-day Spring Festival holiday.
This year's Spring Festival, New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Zuhui and his family spent time in a villa on Nanwan Road; on the second day of the Lunar New Year, everyone went to the villas they had received last year. It was these women who showed off in front of their relatives and friends.
when.
Those who can afford to live in a luxury house in the middle of the mountain belong to the upper class in Hong Kong; and those who can afford to live in a single-family villa, or even a villa on the top of a mountain, are simply a "great honor" and must be from the upper class of society.
Even if it is a female artist from Xiangjiang in the previous life, none of them can live in a villa on their own!
Although Lin Zixia lives in the Moth Mountain Villa, she does not rely on herself, and the current value of the Moth Mountain Villa is not as good as her current villa. The security over Moth Mountain is not very good. In the past life, the villa was visited by thieves.
Not to mention, Luo Dingbang’s granddaughter was kidnapped, etc., so Moth Mountain and Shouson Mountain are not at the same level.
Lin Zuhui was generous because the money looked like a fortune to others, but to him, it was just a sprinkling of water. And while giving these women away, he also gained a kind of psychological satisfaction, which was probably '
Give someone a rose, and the fragrance will linger in your hands.
The couplets for the Spring Festival every year are written by Lin Zuhui himself. After he mastered the new era real estate, he began to learn from the older generation of businessmen, practicing calligraphy, reading ancient books, and studying Confucianism. He did not ask for a deep understanding, but he wanted to understand the basics. The ancients'
Wisdom cannot be underestimated. From it, he learned a lot about the ways of doing business, the ways of serving subordinates, and the ways of fighting.
Lin Zuhui was writing a couplet, and seven women were watching from one side. Except for Li Jiaxin and Li Zi, each of them was holding a baby in their arms. The eldest, Lin Wenyi, was three years old (born by Cai Ning) and was standing directly next to Lin Zuhui's thigh.
For a moment, the whole air smelled of womanhood, milk, and ink.
"Hey, Ah Hui, your calligraphy is getting better and better!" Guan Jiahui praised.
Lin Zuhui was very helpful, with a proud expression on his face.
In fact, he has 'lost himself' and has only a handful of practice hours in the past year.
There is no way, the other women are not willing to lag behind!
“It’s really improved a lot!”
"This calligraphy is almost ready for exhibition!"
"Wenjie, you must learn from your father in the future and learn more about traditional Chinese culture!"
"Wen Hua, let your father teach you calligraphy from now on!"
Lin Zuhui is really lost at this moment!
After posting the couplets, Lin Zuhui finally calmed down, because after posting the couplets, he discovered that his "calligraphy can only be considered average", which was similar to that of Ye Luzi (an elder who wrote couplets in the countryside) in his previous life.
No matter what, the words you write are definitely worth a thousand pieces of gold!
........
In the evening, Lin Zuhui and his seven fairies and six children had a New Year's Eve dinner together. The hotel chef asked the hotel chef to cook the New Year's Eve dinner in Villa B3, which was unoccupied. After the dinner was cooked, the servants sent it to Villa A.
At the dinner table, Lin Zuhui sat at the head seat, and his family status was clear at a glance. He also enjoyed this 'big patriarch' style, but in fact, the Lin family did not have many rules.
"Have a meal!"
After Lin Zuhui spoke, the girls picked up their chopsticks. This rule was really not made by Lin Zuhui, and I don't know if it was made by that toady. Of course, since it has been made, it must be followed. Maybe it is a good family rule.
During the period, Lin Zuhui said: "Tomorrow is the next year of the lunar calendar. Starting from next year, I will go abroad more often, so you should complain less. I am not going abroad for fun, but to expand my family business overseas next year. This concerns you."
and children, the amount of salary they will receive every month in the family office in the future!"
Although these women did not know how much money Lin Zuhui had, including Wang Lingyin, but based on some information revealed by Lin Zuhui, they guessed that Lin Zuhui's personal net worth was in the tens of billions.
Everyone said that they would not hold back, which made Lin Zuhui chuckle in his heart. Maybe he could try some foreign food if he takes the time! When investing overseas, he only needs to formulate big policies, and the big policies are already in his mind, so it doesn’t take much time at all. Compared with Li Chaoren,
Much simpler and cruder.
Buffett also studies the financial statements of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo every day to see which one is more worthy of investment. However, Lin Zuhui never looks at the financial statements. At most, he pretends to let his subordinates get some information and start investing after just two glances.
Wang Lingyin said: "Don't worry! If you can't do this, how can you negotiate for a family fortune worth tens of billions for your children!"
Although she is usually amiable, she occasionally asserts her majesty as the head of the family.
The girls once again expressed their opinions, and all the legal ones spoke out. It seemed that there was still hope for a family worth tens of billions, and they must obey Wang Lingyin's management.
Lin Zuhui nodded. Although it was a bit 'tacky to talk about money', without money, that woman was willing to suffer this 'grievance'!
