In early February, Peregrine, the financial company of New Era Group, announced that New Era Group would fully acquire the remaining shares of Cathay City Hotel Management Company at a price of 5 yuan per share (a premium of 27%), involving a capital of 940 million yuan.
The privatization of Cathay City Hotel is progressing smoothly, and all small and medium-sized shareholders are happy.
After Cathay City Hotel was privatized, it immediately changed its name to 'New Era Hotel'.
The organizational structure of New Era Group becomes:
New Era Group——New Era Real Estate (real estate, construction), Chinese Real Estate (real estate, securities), New Era Hotel, New Era Infrastructure, comprehensive business (Modern Containers, Times Communications, Times Retail, Hong Kong Shipping)—Fu
Lee Real Estate (Investment in U.S. Real Estate)
The structure became clearer and simpler, but in reality the entire group comprised hundreds of companies.
The original liabilities of Cathay City were transferred to New Era Group, and the debt exceeded 14 billion.
In the conference room of Huazhi Center, Lin Zuhui listened to the report from the management of Times Communications.
At present, the Hong Kong government has announced a tender for mobile phones (the first generation ct1). Interested bidders must submit bids before March 15. A total of two ct1 mobile phone licenses will be issued this time.
The reason why two licenses were issued is because one license was prepared for Hong Kong Telecommunications and everyone knew it. Therefore, the competition for the remaining license was slightly more intense.
The market for mobile phones and pagers is also called "non-patented telecommunications services", while "patented telecommunications services" are international and Hong Kong fixed-line telephones (including picture and text faxes, etc.).
It can be said that throughout the 1990s, fixed-line telephones were the absolute dominant player in the telecommunications industry. There is a saying in Xiangjiang that "non-proprietary telecommunications services cannot create large companies." This is probably the truth.
Currently, the two international and local fixed-line telephone patents of the "Patented Telecommunications Business" are owned by Xiangjiang Telecom. Among them, the local telephone patent expired in 1995.
At present, the mobile phone field of 'non-proprietary telecommunications business' (cordless phones) is completely monopolized by Hutchison Communications, with more than 50,000 customers; in the pager market, Hutchison Communications has 230,000 customer services, accounting for 50% of Hong Kong's share
, is a semi-monopoly.
As early as last year (1989), New Era Group decided to enter the telecommunications field and established Era Communications. It later acquired three pager companies and obtained a paging license issued by the Hong Kong government. It currently serves 26,000 customers.
There are dozens of licensees in the pager market, and Times Communications’ achievements are not insignificant!
Times Communications President Lang Shiduhui reported: "After AT&T withdrew from the cooperation, we reached a cooperation agreement with British Telecom. British Telecom will provide us with technical services and hold 20% of the shares. If we can win the bid, we can launch GSM mobile phones in April.
, fierce competition with Hutchison Telephone!”
Lin Zuhui asked: "Who is our biggest competitor this time?"
Langshiduo thought for a while and said: "There should be two companies, one is Xunlian of the First Pacific Group, and the other is New World Group."
Lin Zuhui immediately said: "There is no need to worry about the development of the new world!"
He knows Zheng Yutong and Zheng Jiachun, they are not afraid of the market failure, and they only obtained the paging license in January, so their strength is not a concern.
Obtaining this license means that Times Communications has truly entered the telecommunications field. At that time, Lin Zuhui can let Times Communications invest in the telecommunications industry in the UK and then develop the European telecommunications industry.
It is absolutely impossible for "Huo Jianning to sell oranges" to happen. Lin Zuhui has already planned to cut off his beard. It can be "Yuan Tianfan sells oranges" or "Liang Zhenxun sells oranges".
Why was Lin Zuhui so confident that Yuan Tianfan would also work for him? It was nothing more than a bundle of interests. As far as he knew, after CEFC acquired Hengchang Bank, it was a joint acquisition by multiple consortiums, so Li Chaoren recommended Yuan Tianfan as CEO. As a result, Rong Rong
The young master wants to burn a bridge across the river, and wants to fully acquire Hengchang Bank, that is, take back the shares of Hengchang Bank from other shareholders at a premium.
Li Chaoren gave up generously in order to improve his interpersonal relationships. Zheng Yutong, Liang Botao, Guo Huonian and others actually didn't want to give up. After all, Hengchang Bank is a cash cow and a major net profit maker, and long-term investment is very cost-effective. However, because of their face, they still don't.
They gave up their shares comfortably. No one made a fuss. Only Yuan Tianfan bombarded CEFC in major media, and finally alerted senior officials to come out and explain.
As long as Lin Zuhui accepts the "unemployed" Yuan Tianfan and promises him huge profits, he is not afraid of falling into the trap! The nonsense of "only serving the Li family" is just a lack of bargaining chips.
Of course, Lin Zuhui and Yuan Tianfan are also familiar with each other!
In fact, in the field of telecommunications, everyone basically works for the government, and the same is true in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government vigorously throws out licenses, saying it is for everyone to compete, but in fact it is charging a large license fee.
The company that won the bid paid a large price for the license fee, and this fee was ultimately passed on to consumers.
Lam Cho-fai is not focused on profits, he is purely interested in increasing his influence in Hong Kong and extending his tentacles into all aspects of Hong Kong industry; at the same time, he is making a lot of money in the European telecommunications industry.
Langsdo said: "First Pacific Group is a Nanyang consortium after all. I believe we can successfully bid!"
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Whether it is successful or not has nothing to do with whether it is a Nanyang consortium or not. What is important is whether our technical solution is excellent and whether the price is high! In short, if we do it with our heart, this kind of thing will not be done until the last moment.
You can’t relax!”
"OK!"
Lin Zuhui received his younger brother Fang Jin in the office, now the chairman of the listed company "Great Wisdom Development", which was the "backdoor listing" of the original China Entertainment.
Lin Zuhui asked him for 50 million, and Fang Jinjin took it as a good sign and gave him 58 million, but Lin Zuhui didn't care. If someone else bought the shell, 60 million would be no problem.
58 million means "I pay", so Lin Zuhui accepted it as a matter of course.
"How do you plan to start the business?" Lin Zuhui crossed his legs, leaned on the sofa, and said with a comfortable expression.
It was relatively easy for him to get along with Fang Jin. The two had been friends for many years. Fang Jin had done a lot of things for him in the past. Of course, Lin Zuhui did not treat him badly. Just because Fang Jin was worth more than 300 million, he
You didn't follow the wrong person.
Fang Jin said seriously: "I plan to raise funds through two rights issues when the time comes this year, and buy my construction business and high-quality assets respectively to expand the company's scale!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "It is right to seriously develop listed companies. It is too slow to always use your own money to develop! You are also an old man in the stock market. As long as you don't be too aggressive and work steadily, the scale will become larger.
!”
Fang Jin said as if he was being taught: "Well, the boss is right! I know my own abilities. Brother Yang Shoucheng has learned from his past mistakes. Now that the bank has given him a loan, he doesn't even dare to ask for it!"
"Haha, I know it's right to be afraid!"
Fang Jin's wealth and family background are certainly far inferior to that of Yang Shoucheng, but after all, he is Lin Zuhui's younger brother, so no one can give him a little face, so everyone usually takes him to play.
"Boss, in the future I want to develop Da Zhizhi and become an agent of New Era Group!" Fang Jin said.
The so-called agents are actually big customers who purchase houses internally, and generally offer a discount of 5% compared to outsiders; and the agents themselves are actually big companies that speculate on real estate.
In his previous life, Chinese Real Estate, that is, Da Liu, was also an agent of Cheung Kong Holdings. Although Da Liu also became a billionaire in his previous life, in fact, Chinese Real Estate was in his hands and did not develop a few real estate projects. He basically made investments.
Real estate business.
Of course, in this life, Da Liu was also an agent under his fellow countryman Li Chaoren.
At present, the development of real estate in Xiangjiang (for the purpose of developing residential buildings, commercial buildings, and sales) has basically been monopolized by several major real estate developers. Most real estate developers can only engage in real estate speculation and rent collection.
Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "Our company naturally welcomes this, you can talk to them yourself later!"
Which large real estate developer doesn't have a group of agents and real estate speculators who can sell out their properties quickly with a 5% discount? What's more, Xiangjiang's real estate boom is thanks to this group of people.
People in Xiangjiang like to speculate in everything, including real estate speculation, stock speculation, membership speculation, taxi license speculation, and stamp speculation. Speculation is quite rampant in society.
Fang Jin's face was filled with joy. New Era Group's houses were of good quality and ranked among the top three most popular in the market, so it was a good thing to become an agent of New Era Real Estate.
Then, Fang Jin took the initiative and blew himself up: "Boss, I'm also buying real estate at the bottom this time!"
Lin Zuhui said matter-of-factly: "If you don't buy the bottom, you're really a fool! How many properties did you buy? What types of properties did you buy?"
His women Li Zhi, Zhang Min, and Lin Zixia invested in property this time, and the intermediary was Fang Jin. Fang Jin naturally couldn't charge a fee, so he made a lot of money based on this signal.
Fang Jin quickly said: "There are properties worth almost 200 million, including office units, shops, and luxury housing units, all in a mess."
In Lin Zuhui's eyes, a property worth RMB 200 million is just a small amount, just a three- or four-story office building.
"Don't have more than 50% debt. You will be a sure winner no matter what. Just remember what I say!"
"Okay, I will definitely remember it!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and mentioned what should be mentioned. Fang Jin's nature is much better than that of Luo Zhaohui. The other person is a serious top student with a background in finance. But Luo Zhaohui just came from a blind social background, so there is no comparison.
Moreover, Lin Zuhui has known him for so many years, and his personality is already familiar to him.
It can be said that whether or not there was the "Chongqing Tower Fire" incident, Fang Jin's development was several times better than Luo Zhaohui's. Fang Jin now has a listed company, which is even more powerful, and real estate has not fallen in the past eight years, so there is no risk.
If his younger brother can be worse than Liu Luanxiong's younger brother, it's really shameful!
After Zhou Huimin last encountered Lin Zuhui and Li Jiaxin showing off their affection at ATV, Lin Zuhui did not immediately test Zhou Huimin's feelings. A week later, Lin Zuhui made an appointment with her at their secret base.
He was very curious. Zhou Huimin could endure Ni Zheng's good things eight times in her previous life. What was her limit in front of an outstanding person like herself?
If you go on a date once a month, will you get kicked out? In short, Lin Zuhui is very curious!
Lin Zuhui came to Century Building and opened the door to the secret base. After walking in, he immediately heard the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen.
This woman is nice and saves trouble!
Lin Zuhui came to the kitchen and hugged Zhou Huimin from behind.
"Dinner is ready, I'll bring it out right away!" Zhou Huimin said softly.
Lin Zuhui turned her around and looked at her pitiful and beautiful face. Coupled with her proud talents, the man couldn't help but conquer her! ravage her!
"I think the beauty is delicious, why don't I eat you first and then eat?" Lin Zuhui raised Zhou Huimin's chin with his hand and said playfully.
Zhou Huimin's face turned slightly red, and then she actually wanted to reach out behind her back to turn off the fire.
Lin Zuhui said with quick eyes and hands: "Be careful of burns, silly girl!"
"Just a little more heat!" Zhou Huimin said carefully, with a hint of emotion on her face.
Lin Zuhui turned her around and said, "Okay, you continue!"
But he didn't let her go and enjoyed some wonderful fun.
She was actually wearing a skirt, so naturally she couldn't miss her legs;
Then again, Lin Zuhui has seen too much of the world, and his woman doesn't have beautiful legs.
He actually enjoys this atmosphere more!
After a while, Lin Zuhui stopped in time and pretended to help serve the food!
"Don't serve it, or you may burn your hands. I'll do it!" Zhou Huimin resolutely pushed Lin Zuhui out of the kitchen, and then picked up the dishes with a pleased expression. Her face was rosy, but not like a fire.
Lin Zuhui sat down as a matter of course and waited for the woman to serve him.
After a lot of work, Zhou Huimin picked up the red wine that had been decanted on the table and poured it for Lin Zuhui!
"You are so good at serving people, you might as well become a housekeeper in my house!" Lin Zuhui joked.
"I won't serve those women of yours!" Zhou Huimin said angrily. She finally remembered what happened last time.
However, Lin Zuhui had grasped this woman's character and didn't care at all, and pulled Zhou Huimin into his arms.
"Just eat like this!" Lin Zuhui put his palms on his fair legs.
As expected, Zhou Huimin selectively forgot, then took the chopsticks, picked up the food for Lin Zuhui, and put it into his mouth.
"It's good to have this skill, but I advise you to cook less because it will hurt your hands!"
"Well, I haven't had a chance to cook for a long time, so I'll cook for you!"
Then, Zhou Huimin served red wine and fed it to Lin Zuhui's mouth.
Lin Zuhui's hands were not idle either, raising and lowering his hands.
"You don't have any requirements?" he couldn't help but ask.
"No! I have everything. When I don't like singing anymore, I will specialize in painting." Zhou Huimin said sincerely.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "What a good idea! But you don't have to ask for it, but I have a request for you!"
Zhou Huimin quickly said: "What's the request?"
"This house is given to you. I will ask someone to take you to transfer it next week! You can take it without it, but I have to give it to you! Otherwise, I feel guilty. Is it because I am using my power for personal gain and attracting my artists?"
Zhou Huimin opened her eyes wide and said, "Is this how you pick up girls?"
Lin Zuhui said angrily: "You underestimate me too much. I don't do this when picking up girls. I only do this when I'm done with girls! Do you understand?"
"Well, don't be evil!" Zhou Huimin looked at Lin Zuhui pitifully, her eyes watery.
