On Monday, the negotiations with the Burton Group went relatively smoothly. Seeing that Lin Zuhui was very insistent on bidding 52 million pounds, the Burton Group stopped raising the price. Now they just want to get rid of this money-losing department store. It is a gift from God to have a Chinese take over. .
Lin Zuhui did not dwell too much. If the LEIT Group wants to truly expand, it can only through this type of mergers and acquisitions. The century-old European brands with excellent performance will not be able to turn to Chinese companies.
Especially France's national treasure brands, it is impossible for Lin Zuhui to acquire them. Unless the brand suffers losses all year round and does not have too many locals to compete, it can be approved by the government. For example, the French 'Pendou' luxury brand in the hands of Pan Disheng Product brand.
You know, after Gallic Chicken's 'Latour' was acquired by the British, it caused a huge stir. Later, Gallic Chicken went to great lengths to buy back the national treasure red wine brand.
Therefore, the acquisition of a century-old European brand is very difficult. This acquisition of this department store does not require approval from the London government, and the procedure is relatively simple!
After the price was negotiated, the LEIT Group sent a team to audit Harrods Boutique Department Store before formally signing the contract. However, the rest of the matter was naturally handled by the president, Chen Shiwen.
In the next two days, Lin Zuhui conducted senior staff recruitment at the LEIT Group's London headquarters and selected three senior staff; one of them, a British man named Ian, was appointed by him as the vice president of the LEIT Group and was responsible for Europe. affairs.
LEIT Group's main business battlefield is still Asia. The reason why Lin Zuhui allowed it to develop in Europe is because this is the center of world fashion. He hopes to bring the advantages of Europe to Asia.
The development of Harrods boutique department store and Ouchi Secret Agent both hopes to drive business growth in Asia. As for Europe itself, it just hopes not to lose money and can have good long-term and stable profits.
Time flies, and ten days pass in the blink of an eye.
Thursday, March 14th.
In the office of Huazhi Center, Lin Zuhui stood in front of the window, looking at the "long queue" under the "Twin Towers", and frowned.
Those who were queuing up had heard that New Era Real Estate's "Huijing Garden" would be launched within a few days, and there was a long queue at the sales office of New Era Group's headquarters, Huazhi Center Building.
After a while, Chen Xiaofen walked to Lin Zuhui's office and said with some anxiety on her face: "Boss, from yesterday to today, we have posted notices many times urging citizens to leave, but those people have no intention of leaving at all. There is a long-term problem." It means fighting hard.”
Lin Zuhui immediately said: "No, it's easy to cause accidents by showing off! You should contact the police immediately to come forward. We must not let it go on like this!"
Chen Xiaofen nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"
The property market has exploded!
In March 1991, the property market in Xiangjiang was gaining momentum and rising rapidly. In particular, large-scale private housing estates with well-equipped facilities became hot sellers, including Whampoa Gardens, Taikoo Shing, Kornhill Gardens, Heng Fa Chuen, Telford Gardens, etc. In particular, property prices in Taikoo Shing and Whampoa Gardens have risen sharply from 2,300 yuan per square foot to 3,300 yuan per square foot since the end of February.
New Era Real Estate's "Hui Jing Garden" is the last large-scale private housing estate along the subway line and is very popular with the public.
However, the sales period of New Era Real Estate is next Friday. How can the sales be carried out in advance just because these people are queuing up? It would be a mess.
At this time, the downstairs of Huazhi Center was crowded with people, and from time to time there were members of the community looking at them eagerly. However, almost all the people in the team were real estate speculators from Xiangjiang, and they also had some background.
What's more, the club members will never get any benefits if they cause public outrage. Back then, a melee broke out because the club jumped in line, and the result was that the club was beaten to pieces, which shows how terrifying the crazy crowd can be.
"Brother, do you plan to speculate on real estate or use it for yourself?" A young man in the crowd said to the elder brother in front of him.
I don’t know how long the queue will last, so at this time the teams are asking each other about the situation or reaching a deal.
"I'm from a real estate speculator group, can't I just meddle in other people's business?" The thirty-year-old strong man seemed dissatisfied with the young man's inquiring, and said sternly.
In fact, he planned to buy a place for himself to live in, but he was able to get the news in advance thanks to a relative who worked at New Era Real Estate.
Young people are the real real estate speculators, and they work in a team. Although they are young, they have a very vicious vision.
"Brother, I have no other intention, I just want to make a deal with you. If you can get a unit, I will buy it immediately at a price higher than 80,000 Hong Kong dollars. Brother, think about it, just get in line , you can earn 80,000 yuan with just a few days of effort, what a deal!”
The strong man showed an excited expression. They had a house to live in, but they wanted to change it to a slightly better one. However, the 80,000 Hong Kong dollars was obviously very tempting, which was more than a year's salary. Besides, it was not necessary to change the house. Exchange View Garden House.
However, he soon remembered his relative who worked in real estate. He highly praised the house in Huijing Garden, saying that all the facilities in this community were of the highest quality in the large housing estates in Xiangjiang, and there would be huge room for appreciation in the future.
"I won't sell it!" the strong man said through gritted teeth.
The young man was excited when he saw the strong man's heart, because he was confident that he could earn at least 250,000 yuan from one unit in a month.
However, the big man suddenly became determined, which made him regretful.
"Brother, this is my business card. If you think about it, you can call me at any time!"
"Know it!"
This kind of situation happens a lot among people, and real estate speculation has started in Xiangjiang.
Due to the active real estate market, many properties that real estate developers have withdrawn from in the New Territories of Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories have been sold out instantly, and property prices have risen rapidly. Even for properties that have not yet been registered and put on public sale, there are already queues at the sales offices, lest the opportunity will come soon. Pass away.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At around 10 o'clock in the morning, a large number of JCs appeared in Huazhi Center. They began to disperse the crowd, and those who lined up reluctantly left. The JC eviction was still very effective, plus New Era Real Estate posted announcements many times and tried to persuade them to leave.
Lin Zuhui looked at the crowd being driven away by JC, and then he felt relieved. If these people had to wait in line for seven or eight days, some people would not be able to buy by then, and their resentment would be even greater. It would be better to drive them away as early as possible.
After a while, Liang Zhenxun walked in with a report in his hand and handed it to Lin Zuhui respectfully.
"Boss, the latest asset revaluation report is out!"
"Okay, I'll take a look later and talk about it later."
Lin Zuhui asked again: "How active is the real estate market outside?"
Talking about this, Liang Zhenxun said vividly: "It's so lively! In social places, everyone is talking about property prices and exchanging experience in property speculation. Bank mortgage departments, law firms, and real estate agents are all very busy. Some real estate agents
Businessmen are busy from nine o'clock in the morning until the early morning of the next day in order to earn more commissions. I estimate that spot speculators account for about 55% of the market, and off-the-plan property speculators are probably as high as 70%."
Hearing this, Lin Zuhui didn't know whether he was happy or overjoyed!
It’s actually a bit sad!
This made him more determined to "revitalize Hong Kong with Hong Kong culture," "revitalize Hong Kong with comics," and "revitalize Hong Kong with traditional Chinese medicine." Now that his status has reached the top, it is inevitable that he often feels worried about the country and the people.
Of course, the dividends from the property market should be earned as much as possible.
Otherwise, where does he have the strength to worry about the country and the people!
After Liang Zhenxun left, Lin Zuhui carefully looked at the "New Era Group's asset revaluation" information.
The net asset value has reached 82.86 billion Hong Kong dollars!
It is a very high-quality asset. If the office market had not improved much since the collapse in 1989, New Era Group's assets would have been even higher.
New Era Group is now the well-deserved overlord of real estate, which means that in a year or two, Lin Zuhui will be roasted on the fire.
In his previous life, it was Li Chaoren who stood in the way of all the major real estate developers. In this life, it is Li Chaoren who stands in the way of all the major real estate developers.
But no matter what, when the Hong Kong government intends to crack down on real estate developers, the major real estate companies will be very united.
Since Hong Kong's real estate economy occupies a large proportion, the power of major real estate developers is also very strong. The Hong Kong government can't do anything. At most, it can restrain the rate of increase in housing prices.
Lam Cho-fai came to the News Building and continued to supervise his layout of "Cartoon Revitalizing Hong Kong".
He does not expect the comics industry to reach the level of Japan, but if calculated based on population, Hong Kong is one-twentieth of Japan, which means it can support an industrial chain worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions. Of course, this industry chain is
To extend overseas.
When I arrived at my office, Long Jingchang, Luo Benzheng, Zhao Han and others soon came together.
"Tell me about the two comic project teams that have been prepared?" Lin Zuhui said.
Luo Bencheng immediately sat up straight and reported seriously: "The project team of "Pokémon" has a total of nine members, one Japanese main writer and two Japanese assistants, two Chinese main writers and four Chinese assistants. "Detective"
The project team of "Conan" has a total of six members, including a Japanese main writer and two assistants. They have all assembled and are reviewing materials and ideas according to our outline. It is expected that it will be officially serialized in June."
Lin Zuhui nodded, this speed is appropriate. The original author of "Detective Conan" only conceived the idea in 2 weeks before starting the creation. Lin Zuhui directly gave the rough ideas of the two themes, which is equivalent to deciding on the theme.
Direction, even if the talent of these main writers is not as good as the original author, at least others are earning an annual salary of 3 to 5 million, and there are commissions. Without any talent, it is impossible to be poached to Hong Kong.
"First draw the portraits of the protagonists Conan, Xiaozhi, Pikachu, etc., and then give them to me for review. Only after I have decided on the style can I continue to create!"
"OK!"
Lin Zuhui still has memories of these main characters and elves, and has even described them to his subordinates. He believes they are 70% similar.
In fact, Lin Zuhui thinks it is worth it even to snatch the names of these two animations. If he can reach 50% of the influence in his previous life, he can laugh in his dreams. Even if he can reach 30% of the influence, he will still make a profit.
.If the effect reaches 70%, he will almost single-handedly drive the comic industry in Hong Kong.
Lin Zuhui continued: "You must conscientiously implement these tasks by establishing a special serial comic magazine - "Manke SHOW", setting up comic training classes, establishing/acquiring animation production companies, acquiring toy factories, and establishing peripheral development project teams.'
Cartoons are revitalizing Hong Kong. We, Wanhui Media, are here to rise up and drive the entire comics industry in Hong Kong forward. We must have a pioneering spirit!"
"Okay" everyone agreed in unison.
After the meeting, Luo Bencheng took Lin Zuhui to the two production project teams. Lin Zuhui used fluent Japanese to exchange opinions with the Japanese main writer, and also encouraged the Xiangjiang main writer to use his own opinions. The comics should not be exactly the same as Japanese comics, and a small amount of Chinese should be added
Comics own elements.
Of course, both the Pokémon world and the background world of Conan are based on a fictional world; in this way, it is easier to promote overseas.
