The great era has arrived, and the upsurge of reform has begun in the mainland.
Although the core of Lin Zuhui's career is Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang is closely connected with the mainland and has a great influence.
Therefore, affected by this incident, Hong Kong's real estate and securities will set off a new round of rise; not only that, Lin Zuhui's career itself has become saturated in Hong Kong, and he urgently hopes that overseas markets and the mainland market can share the pressure of excessive funds.
New Era Group alone has a cash flow of HK$6.5 billion on its books. With real estate prices skyrocketing again, New Era Group's profits may exceed HK$8 billion this year, not counting possible non-recurring profits.
The development real estate (for sale) in Xiangjiang has been monopolized by the five major real estate developers, New Era, Sun Hung Kai, Cheung Kong, Henderson Land Development and New World, for more than 70% of the share. If you add Hang Lung, Great Eagle, Sino, Wharf, and KW
Real estate developers already monopolize 95% of the residential market in Hong Kong.
that day.
Commissioners from the Hong Kong Banking Regulatory Office and HSBC Bank officially entered China Commercial Bank to review the financial situation of China Commercial Bank. The result of the review is related to whether Lin Zuhui can use 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to win over the Overseas Trust Bank from the Hong Kong government.
Of course, just to go through the motions, the reputation and actions of the original depositors of China Commercial Bank are enough to show that Lin Zuhui's team has perfectly resolved a financial industry shock.
Lin Zuhui came to the conference room to check the progress. There was no need to avoid this, and it was impossible for the commissioners of the Banking Regulatory Office and HSBC to cheat.
"Thank you for your hard work. You must review it carefully. If there are any problems, you must notify us to rectify them!" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.
Zhuo Shengcai from the Banking Regulatory Office responded: "Mr. Lin is worthy of being the richest man in Hong Kong. He has excellent reputation and has been able to absorb 3.8 billion in new deposits in just over half a year. This amount is already half of that of Hong Kong Medium Bank."
It’s level.”
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Thank you for the prize. In fact, I deposited 1 billion in cash. Isn't it popular for banks in Hong Kong to look for backing? Oil, U.S. dollars, and Japanese capital are the backing. China Commercial Bank naturally needs backing, but this
The backing is naturally my personal funds.”
Everyone has to admire Lin Zuhui's strong financial resources. Although there are many rich people in Hong Kong, there are only a handful of rich people who can come up with 500 million Hong Kong dollars in cash. Assets are not equal to cash. It is not a short time for Zheng Yutong to come up with 500 million Hong Kong dollars in cash.
It can be done.
To give a simple example, this month Chow Tai Fook Company increased its holdings in New World Development's shares. It only spent HK$190 million in cash to increase its holdings to 40.5%. If Zheng Yutong was rich and wanted to increase his holdings, it would naturally be impossible.
Take out this little cash.
Therefore, the combined cash of the so-called four major families is not as much as that of Lin Zuhui.
HSBC Commissioner Willis asked: "Then the funds used by Mr. Lin to purchase overseas trust banks were withdrawn from China Commercial Bank?"
Lin Zuhui said confidently: "There is no need to withdraw a penny, and even my deposit will not be withdrawn. Mr. Willis, if I borrow a loan from HSBC, I will not be rejected!"
Willis immediately said: "I don't think so!"
Who would push this God of Wealth away?
In fact, everyone knows that Lin Zuhui's performance is not like a cash-strapped owner, so he probably will not borrow money from HSBC. But Willis said this, naturally he hopes to attract Lin Zuhui, a big customer.
New Era Group recently announced a large-scale project, and HSBC is naturally keen on the loan project.
Although Lin Zuhui opened a bank, he mainly provided loans to other real estate companies; New Era Group's loans were still given to other banks.
After a brief chat, Lin Zuhui left the conference room. It seemed that there was no problem.
The management team of China Commercial Bank are all top bankers in Hong Kong;
Now, Lin Zuhui has recruited the management of the ‘Octopus Financial Group’. They are both Chinese and foreign, and they are all top talents.
Once the Overseas Trust Bank acquires it, Octopus Financial Group can immediately start operations, coordinate the management of the two banks, and merge and rename them at the appropriate time, which will probably be completed this year.
After giving instructions to CEO and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, Stanley Ho, Lin Zuhui left the China Commercial Bank Building.
He rarely interferes in the specific affairs of the bank. After all, he is not a professional banking talent. In Lin Zuhui's view, all he needs to do to run a bank is to avoid the risks of his own bank, build relationships, and speak for it. For example, during the Asian financial crisis,
And retreat, for example, try to start business in the mainland, etc.
Lin Zuhui no longer needs to worry about the funds acquired from overseas trust banks. In early January, his foreign exchange investment began to be cashed out; however, as the US dollar/yen index soared to 129 points in mid-January (originally below 125 points)
), allowing him to cash out only 1.5 billion, while New Era Group successfully cashed out all of it.
However, a dramatic scene occurred last Friday (1.17), when the USD/JPY index plummeted nearly 3% and fell back below 125 points (only 123 points).
Therefore, starting from today, Hengjin Investment will start cashing out again. According to the current situation, it is estimated that all cashing out can be successful.
His cash flow will once again exceed 6 billion (the deposits of China Commercial Bank are 1 billion). Even if he spends 2.5 billion to purchase overseas trust banks, there will still be 3.5 billion left.
As for the constant rental income from Hengjin Real Estate, it is usually used for his personal expenses and the purchase of overseas assets for the fairies.
This year New Era Group is also preparing to pay out 1.5 billion in dividends. He can personally distribute about 750 million, and basically there will be no more rights issues to raise funds this year. Investments are all in the form of loans, so the cash on the account is enough to start many large-scale projects.
project.
There should be no shortage of money!
Regent Hotel, where the fashion retail group held a launch conference for its new high-end women's clothing brand "Gangliu";
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the same time, a banquet was also organized, and many ladies from Xiangjiang were invited to help out.
At the banquet, as the vice president and spokesperson of the fashion retail group, Guan Jiahui naturally attracted the most attention;
In addition, Li Jiaxin who came to the banquet was also very eye-catching.
I don’t know since when, the most dazzling socialite appeared in the world of celebrities in Xiangjiang, and that is Lin Zuhui’s new lover Li Jiaxin. The celebrities and ladies in the circle couldn’t help but feel chills on their backs, secretly sighing that it was a good thing.
Lin Zuhui's lover, otherwise she would have to take good care of her husband.
Generally speaking, if you want to be a famous lady in Hong Kong, you must meet three conditions:
First, you have to have a relationship with a rich man. Whether you marry a rich man or a wealthy lady, or even if you make money yourself, you have to have a relationship with a rich family. Because of this, many stars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry
They make a lot of money and often attend parties, but people always only define them as celebrities and will not refer to them as such-and-such socialites in reports.
Second, you must maintain a certain level of exposure and often attend some public events or appear in gossip magazines. Whoever is more famous does not mean that she is richer than someone else. For example, Zhu Lingling married into a wealthy family, but her family is well managed.
She is extremely strict and will not show up unless necessary. Although she meets the conditions of a celebrity, her exposure rate is so low that no one would think of her existence among celebrities.
Third, the appearance must be outstanding. Basically, celebrities are not ugly. The reason is very simple. Even if they are not good-looking, just spend money on having a knife on their face. Others, such as being able to dress up and understand fashion trends, are important to celebrities.
It is no longer a basic requirement, it is their "instinct".
Logically speaking, I have never heard of a certain rich man's lover being considered a socialite.
But no matter what, neither the media nor the celebrity circle dare to say, "Li Jiaxin, you don't deserve to be in the celebrity circle."
The reason is very simple. As long as a man is strong enough, let alone a romantic relationship, it is just a scandal, which will make the man a hundred times more valuable.
During the banquet, Guan Jiahui and Zhang Tianai, a Hong Kong socialite and fashion designer, had a lively chat.
Zhang Tianai is very accomplished in the fashion industry, so she is very interested in the design and culture of the "Hong Kong Liu" high-end clothing brand.
"What is the 'Hong Kong Liu' clothing brand? Miss Guan, can you tell me?" Zhang Tianai asked humbly.
Guan Jiahui quoted Lin Zuhui's words and said: "It is my understanding to design first and express personality. However, Hong Kong culture has just been born, so we are also innovating in clothing based on the Hong Kong content led by ATV!"
Kwan Jiahui had her own clothing brand in her previous life, so Lin Zuhui always encouraged her to create her own brand based on fashion retail brands. Currently, the group has as many as seven self-owned brands, and they are all relatively popular.
Zhang Tianai continued to say curiously: "What does design mean specifically?"
Guan Jiahui is still very friendly to Zhang Tianai, after all, others have a big position in the fashion industry. Of course, her status in the Hong Kong fashion industry is not inferior to Zhang Tianai, because in the eyes of outsiders, the founder of fashion retail is her, Guan Jiahui.
It was just that it was merged and acquired by LEIT Group in the end.
What's more, Guan Jiahui is a director of LEIT Group. Based on this, she has a place in the Hong Kong fashion industry. LEIT Group is Asia's LVMH, with a market value of more than 7 billion Hong Kong dollars. Who dares to take a peek at this giant clothing giant?
Where are the directors!
"For example, the unconventional asymmetrical design is the most typical style, and the skirt length becomes irregular and asymmetrical."
Zhang Tianai suddenly understood and said with admiration: "You are really amazing for creating your own school!"
Kwan Jiahui was immediately embarrassed, but she still said modestly: "It's all influenced by Hong Kong culture. Have you watched "Blue Life and Death"?"
Zhang Tianai nodded and said with great interest: "Look, I watch every episode, but isn't this Hong Kong drama too sad?"
Kwan Jiahui was immediately convinced and said: "That's right! But what ATV means is that the first Hong Kong drama must deepen the audience's impression and exaggerate the audience's emotions!"
Zhang Tianai immediately gossiped: "I'm afraid it wasn't your man's idea!"
Guan Jiahui was immediately very impressed, but she still said: "Yes, he doesn't have time to take care of so much!"
"That's true, he's so busy!" After Zhang Tianai finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at the pretty Li Jiaxin not far away, and said in his heart: "So busy, but he has a lot of time to pick up girls!"
She was not too surprised that the relationship between the two lovers was so good; I am afraid that the entire Xiangjiang citizens knew that although Lin Zuhui was romantic, there had never been any scandals about his women fighting. On the contrary, they were in harmony with each other, and news broke out from time to time.
out.
On the other side, Li Jiaxin is also competing with celebrities.
A socialite looked at the big pink diamond on Li Jiaxin's hand and praised: "How many carats is this diamond ring?"
When Li Jiaxin saw someone taking the initiative to mention it, she felt very proud and took advantage of the situation to show off her beautiful hands.
"6 carats! I don't wear diamond rings below 5 carats!"
When all the celebrities heard this, they immediately felt that they were being shown off by Li Jiaxin.
Ms. He on the side couldn't help but laugh. She felt that she and Li Jiaxin were on different sides, mainly because Li Jiaxin liked to show off too much. However, she also liked being with Li Jiaxin because she could learn some useful things from her.
Information, such as investing in real estate.
Not only that, because she and Lin Zuhui are friends, and the relationship between their families is very good, so she and Li Jiaxin are recognized as good friends in the celebrity circle.
However, some celebrities said: "Jiaxin, no matter how rich you are, you are not as famous as anyone else! Others have careers!"
Although the threshold of Xiangjiang's socialite circle is high, in the final analysis it is a women's circle, and naturally there are many right and wrongs.
This is a provocation!
But Li Jiaxin was young after all, so she immediately said: "I also have shares in LEIT Group, and it's no less than hers! Besides, I now have investment companies in the United States and Hong Kong, and that is also my career!"
When everyone heard about the shares of LEIT Group, they couldn't help but marvel at how generous the richest Chinese man was. There are many rich wives and young ladies who find it difficult to get shares in family businesses.
Miss He couldn't help but give Li Jiaxin a wink, which meant: "Don't say anything to the outside world!"
"What are you investing in?" For a moment, all the celebrities became curious.
"I have invested in properties, stocks, etc.!" Li Jiaxin said proudly.
Fortunately, Li Jiaxin also knows the seriousness of the matter and will not reveal everything.
During this period, it naturally aroused the favor of celebrities who wanted to invest with Li Jiaxin. Who doesn’t know who is standing behind this!
The plutocrats in Xiangjiang have gradually begun to have hierarchies. Some people have gradually placed Lin Zuhui above the four major families and dubbed him the "Chinese Chief D".
Because Lin Zuhui not only controls the greatest wealth, but also controls the public opinion in Hong Kong.
Under the four major families are the ten largest chaebols;
Below the top ten chaebols are the top ten candidate chaebols.
As for some established families, who knows if they have declined or if they have hidden their wealth. In short, their influence has declined, so they naturally rank behind the top ten candidate chaebols.
