Accompanied by officials from the Magic City, Lin Zuhui and his entourage came to the southeast side of the newly-approved ‘Magic City Jinmao Tower’.
Lin Zuhui said: "Leader, let us build the second skyscraper in Magic City! I am optimistic about Magic City and think it will become the financial center of Asia, so I want to build the 'Magic City Global Financial Center' here."
After finishing speaking, Lin Zuhui looked at the officials in Shanghai with a smile. He was not worried about not getting the project. After all, if the Japanese could get it, he would definitely get it. Currently, Hong Kong investment accounts for more than 40% of foreign investment in the country.
Without Hong Kong capital, China would not be able to develop rapidly.
Don’t think that Hong Kong capital only develops real estate. In fact, it develops in all aspects, and there are many factories. As long as the country is willing to invest, we will invest in everything, including the upgrading and renovation of state-owned factories.
He asked directly: "How much does Mr. Lin plan to invest? What kind of skyscraper will it develop into? Because we are planning a financial district here."
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Don't worry, leaders, it must be in line with the plan of the Magic City. This building is called the Global Financial Building, and it naturally provides rental offices for financial companies at home and abroad. Our New Era Group has just built the 'Wan Guo Baotong' in Xiangjiang
The center'... is currently in use, with a vacancy rate of only 5%, and is still being reduced. I am also the chairman of the board of directors of the fourth largest bank in Hong Kong, and I have worked with overseas financiers and bankers.
There are a lot of communication and relationships. So, if you award this project to me, I will definitely complete it in 2000 and live up to expectations, and promise that the total investment will be no less than US$700 million."
The investment is much larger than a Central Plaza!
Everyone showed surprise, and the official even said politely: "We will definitely take Mr. Lin's investment seriously. For a patriotic businessman like Mr. Lin, we will not let you down."
Some time ago, Lin Zuhui's investment in a Manhattan office building in the United States worried mainland officials, who believed that Lin Zuhui's move was suspected of "relocating capital." They were even more worried that it would cause a series of chain effects and put a brake on today's good investment situation.
Fortunately, Lin Zuhui not only accepted interviews with the media and explained; but also quickly turned around and returned to the mainland to invest heavily in ten projects.
Who is Lin Zuhui is a barometer of the business community in Hong Kong. If he suddenly tightens investment in the Mainland, many people will not dare to take risks. And once Lin Zuhui invests heavily in the Mainland, a large number of people in Hong Kong will follow.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Thank you for the leadership's trust. This area is great. If three world-class skyscrapers are built here and distributed in a Z-shaped pattern, it will drive the financial strength of the entire Shanghai to rise and restore the old Shanghai's influence."
The status of world finance.”
Officials in the city couldn't help but admire Lin Zuhui's vision. The construction of three Z-shaped skyscrapers here is really impressive when you think about it.
After chatting with everyone for a while, everyone left the construction site and prepared to make lunch arrangements.
In the previous life, the Shanghai World Financial Center was built by Minoru Mori, the eldest son of Japan's richest man Taiyoshiro Mori. However, due to the Asian financial crisis, it took 14 years and seriously affected the economic development of Shanghai.
For Lin Zuhui, the Asian financial crisis is not a 'crisis', but an opportunity to make a fortune. The same is true for New Era Group. When that time comes, although Xiangjiang's real estate will slump, New Era Group's overseas income
It’s almost the same as Xiangjiang.
During the Asian financial crisis, the Internet was breaking out in Europe and the United States. At that time, New Era Group's investments in Manhattan office properties, Canary Wharf, and American securities would bring a lot of profits to the company.
What's more, before the financial crisis, Lin Zuhui would ask New Era Group to sell off some properties in Asia with "poor rent collection efficiency".
The Asian crisis is not a crisis for Lin Zuhui, but a feast of wealth growth.
afternoon.
Lin Zuhui and senior staff of New Era Group (China) held a meeting in the office building of the Shanghai branch.
He first listened to the progress of each project and took care of it. The overall progress of the mainland project was very smooth; the "New Dongan Market" will start reconstruction after the year and will become the first project to start construction this year.
During this period, Lu Donglai reminded Lin Zuhui: "Boss, our current projects in the mainland include too many large projects and slow return on costs. This is a prominent problem."
Hearing this, Lin Zuhui also felt that this was the case. Shopping malls, skyscrapers, and five-star hotels were all projects with slow return on capital and large investment. If done this way, it would take seven or eight years to start the road to return on capital.
"There has been a lot of talk about developing real estate projects, and the profits should be able to sustain a certain amount of expenses. You will then strengthen the search for opportunities in this area and strengthen investment in residential projects in Beijing, Guangdong Province, and Shanghai; such as housing projects and old city renovation projects.
It’s okay. Although the profit is low, it is more stable and has a profit rate of 20% every year, which is still quite ideal.”
Lu Donglai nodded and said, "Yes."
In fact, Lin Zuhui has already negotiated several large-scale residential projects, such as the old city renovation of Chongwen District in Beijing, Yangcheng, Shunde, Shanghai, etc., all have large-scale residential projects.
In addition, Hengchang Holdings’ investment in the mainland will soon increase its profits.

In mid-December, Jinmailang's "Laotan Pickled Cabbage Instant Noodles" was launched in the southwest region, and advertised heavily on TV stations in these areas. For a time, it had the potential to compete with Master Kong in the north.
In Jiangcheng, at the entrance of Jinmailang instant noodle factory, trucks were lined up on the road outside the factory, and the drivers were waiting anxiously.
Who doesn't know now that as long as you get Jin Mailang's goods, you can make a lot of money. It can be said that almost overnight, the entire southwest region was awakened by the strong aroma of pickled cabbage instant noodles.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wei Yingxing is the boss of Master Kong. He rushed to Jiangcheng from Tianjing to find out about this matter personally.
"Master, are you here to pull goods?" Wei Yingxing found a driver and asked.
As soon as the driver saw Wei Yingxing and his entourage, he knew they were businessmen from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and they were dressed like big bosses.
"Yes, I'm from Sichuan, and I come here specifically to buy goods!"
Wei Yingxing was shocked. It had only been on sale for a few days and there were already channels from other provinces. Who is the boss of Jinmailang?
"Can the goods be delivered? I think there will be a lot of waiting!" Wei Yingxing is most concerned about the survival of others, because Master Kong only has one production line in Tianjin, and now he is making both bags and barrels, and he is seriously overwhelmed.
, and it will take two or three months for the production line to be installed the next day.
"It is said that there are two production lines, and people in the factory also came out and said that they can all be shipped today." The driver said honestly.
Wei Yingxing suddenly felt cold. Who is this great master?
He walked towards Jin Mailang's factory, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became. The factory was much larger than theirs, and the management was very orderly. When he wanted to enter the factory, he was immediately stopped because he did not enter.
Garden certificate.
"Who is your boss?" Wei Yingxing asked unwillingly.
"I don't know who the boss is, I only know he is from Hong Kong. Who are you and why are you asking our boss?" the guard asked warily.
"I'm a dealer!"
After a lot of trouble, Wei Yingxing was received by the factory director and management as a dealer. However, he was quickly recognized as not a dealer and was asked to leave the factory. Because Wei Yingxing could not speak his hometown dialect and his Mandarin was also Taiwanese.
Island accent.
After Wei Yingxing was asked to leave, he went to the Economic Development Zone to inquire, and finally understood one thing. That is, Jinmailang instant noodles are owned by Hong Kong, and the parent company is called Hengchang Beverage and Food Company. Wei Yingxing has never heard of this company, but
But they learned that the owner of Hengchang Beverage and Food Company is the richest man in China.
"What the f*ck is going on? Isn't this a real estate developer? Why is he even playing with drinks and food?" Wei Yingxing complained.
"Boss, where are you going now?" the person accompanying asked.
"Go buy some Jinmailang instant noodles to try!" Wei Yingxing said.
At this time, Wei Yingxing already understood what kind of opponent he was facing. This was definitely a formidable enemy! His investment of 8 million US dollars was borrowed, and he only invested in one production line.
Now Mailang has directly invested US$25 million in two production lines, and it is said that it is already building a third production line.
The only question now is, how does this ‘Laotan Pickled Cabbage Instant Noodles’ taste?
If it is good, then Master Kong must raise funds as soon as possible to invest in building a factory in southwest China and also produce "sauerkraut instant noodles".
........
On the 23rd, Lin Zuhui came to Jiangcheng for inspection.
Inspected Jinmailang's workshop and listened to the introduction by Li Gaoyin, the person in charge of Jinmailang.
"Boss, Jinmailang has been on the market for less than half a month, and there are already queues at the door to buy goods! We now have one truckload of goods. If it is 200,000 Rmb, they will have to pay the money and the financial company will confirm it before notifying them.
The operation and management unit will deliver the goods to that person... We are also preparing to issue a security deposit of 500,000 per unit. The more deposit you deposit, the larger the quantity of goods I will give you...
"
Lin Zuhui smiled, he was begging Jin Mailang for supply!
After inspecting the factory, everyone returned to the conference room.
Lin Zuhui first said: "Expanding production is a top priority, and Jinmailang can do it through large amounts of borrowing."
Du Huilun, the president of Hengchang Beverage and Food, immediately said: "Okay, I will definitely come up with a plan for the company."
Lin Zuhui added: "We also want to produce 'braised beef instant noodles'. You can learn from others and launch it as soon as possible. Our financial strength is stronger than Master Kong's, so don't be soft on expansion."
Many senior executives agreed. After all, Hengchang Holdings is behind Jinmailang, and New Era Group is behind Hengchang Holdings, so just expand.
Du Huilun said: "With our current financial situation, even borrowing 200 million yuan is not a problem. Next year, we will definitely have 20 instant noodle production lines."
Lin Zuhui nodded, thought for a moment and then said: "Let the R&D team develop 'simple noodles'... You can use it to put collection cards, such as 'Water Margin 108 Heroes' cards, a snack specifically for students
, and it can increase their fun... Let’s extend a sub-brand and call it Little Raccoon Crispy Noodles!”
Li Gaoyin said while recording: "The boss's idea is really great. This is equivalent to increasing our customer base."
The Jinmailang brand still has a lot to do, but the most important thing at the moment is to occupy the instant noodles market. Jinmailang also has the advantage of Master Kong; but the advantage of Jinmailang - capital, Master Kong does not have.
