Since February, real estate transactions in Xiangjiang have become active again, mainly because major real estate developers have provided additional mortgage services, and even some small and medium-sized banks have begun to secretly increase mortgages.
Major real estate developers took the opportunity to launch some residential units in some large housing estates to stimulate the market and achieve active trading. The results are also very gratifying.
this day.
Lam Cho-fai, Cheng Yu-tung and Lee Shau-kee came to Kwai Chung Container Terminal to inspect the work.
"This is a good piece of land. It can be used to build a container building. It can be bigger than the container building in front of me. Thanks to Uncle Tong's relationship with the Hong Kong government, I didn't come back empty-handed this time!" Lin Zuhui sighed.
Zheng Yutong said with a smile: "You have finalized three ports in the mainland, and the container building I built is nothing." Before he finished speaking, he said sadly: "If the Hong Kong government and the mainland continue to quarrel like this, I don't know how many people's livelihood projects will be in a stalemate. Get down!"
His lament is not unreasonable. In the tender for Kwai Chung Container Terminal No. 9 at the end of last year, the Hong Kong government did not enter the bid directly based on price. Instead, it directly allocated four berths at Kwai Chung Container Terminal No. 9: 2 berths for Asia Container and 2 berths for International Container Terminal. 1 container, 1 modern container.
All in all, Asian containers are the big winners, which is also in line with the purpose of the new Hong Kong government to crack down on excessive monopoly of international containers.
Asia Container has five shareholders, namely: New Era Group (38%), New World Development (28%), Henderson, Jardine, and Sea-Land. If they win the two berths of Container Terminal 9, it will be equivalent to Kwai Chung has 5 container berths.
However, there is a conflict between the mainland officials and the Feipeng Hong Kong government. They unilaterally rejected the allocation plan, believing that major projects were not communicated with the mainland, and stated that they would not recognize it after the Jiuqi incident.
As a result, the bidding for Container Terminal No. 9 naturally became impossible to calculate and was put on hold.
However, the Kwai Chung Container Terminal is now extremely busy, and many container ships have to queue up to unload their cargo, affecting the local development of Xiangjiang.
That's why Zheng Yutong said that because the two sides were in such a big dispute, many major people's livelihood projects had to be postponed, including the Lantau International Airport.
Lin Zuhui replied: "There is nothing we can do about it! It looks like the trouble may last two or three years, so everyone should be prepared!"
He suddenly understood that if his guess was followed, it meant that the construction of the property above the airport railway station might not have happened until 1995.
At this time, Lee Shau-kee suddenly said: "Zu Hui, you have such good relations in the mainland. I watched you take over Modu Port, Rongqi Port, and Zhuhai Port, and then you stopped. It's not like your style at all!" After finishing, he looked at Lin Zuhui with a smile.
What he meant was very simple. Lin Zuhui had always been very active in the competition with Li Chaoren.
Zheng Yutong also said: "That's true! Ah Cheng has won many ports recently, and he is more powerful and active than you!"
In his opinion, there is no need to be humble!
There are no fathers and sons in the shopping mall, let alone friends.
If it comes to the auction house, the three of them are competitors. Each of them will auction the land based on their own abilities. It is impossible to see the friendship between the three parties.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I can't compete with Li Chaoren. He has been deploying in the mainland for so many years. Yantian Port is his possession. The boss named him to do it. Not only did he accompany the leaders to inspect Yantian Port. Also.
He has already taken the lead in Shantou Port, Beihai Port, etc., so I can't handle him."
This is somewhat believable. Li Chaoren also has deep relations with the mainland, and the mainland also hopes to cooperate equally.
As for Wu Guangzhen, the mainland doesn’t want to pay attention to him now!
Of course, with the initial investment from Charter King, Ningbo Port still let Wharf invest.
As for other ports, forget about it.
Although the No. 9 Container Terminal matter was delayed this time, Zheng Yutong followed the Hong Kong government's method and obtained a large piece of land for the construction of a container building.
Once completed, this container building will once again become the world's largest container warehouse and is expected to be completed in 1996.
After the three of them inspected the land for the container building, they found a teahouse to sit together.
Lin Zuhui said: "I plan to set up a private equity real estate fund this month, and I invite you to come and join us!"
The two became interested, and Lee Shau Kee immediately asked: "Buy the commercial real estate in Manhattan?"
Lin Zuhui nodded without concealing it and said: "It is true that I am buying commercial real estate in Manhattan at the bottom, but I do not plan to buy it directly in the market. Instead, I plan to buy it from the properties handled by the government, which can be cheaper! Of course, the location is also particular, and it is best to buy it from the market.
It’s a commercial property near the university, because the university can’t move away.”
Because American commercial real estate has been severely depressed in recent years, real estate companies and American commercial banks have suffered serious crises and numerous bankruptcies. And some properties mortgaged to banks have now collapsed again, so the New York government simply took the mortgaged properties away
To be sold and auctioned to pay off debts.
But in fact, the lower it falls, the less people buy it. After all, the panic is high.
So picking up leaks at this time is quite profitable.
Lee Shau Kee said with admiration: "You are still great, you have all kinds of opportunities around the world!"
Lin Zuhui said: "You have many connections, so you are too humble!"
Lee Shau Kee waved his hand and said: "Our approach is to come to us on our own initiative. Those people are concerned about our money, so they come to us for investment. But I know that projects that come to us on their own initiative may not necessarily make money."
In fact, despite Lee Shau Kee's low reputation among the four major real estate families, his apparent wealth this year is higher than that of the other three major families; because he holds a higher stake in Henderson Land Development and directly controls the blue-chip stock China Gas.
Although Li Chaoren controls many financial groups, he does not directly control Hutchison Whampoa and Hong Kong Electric, so they will not be counted as his wealth.
Lin Zuhui continued: "This is not necessarily true! By the way, Uncle Tong, are you buying a hotel in the United States?"
This matter spread outside, and Lin Zuhui only had this question.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zheng Yutong said generously: "Well, it will cost almost 700 million U.S. dollars. But I have the same idea as you. The European and American economies began to slump in the late 1980s, and now they are also
It’s been three or four years, and it’s the right time to buy the dip.”
The Zheng Yutong family spent US$700 million (approximately HK$6 billion) to acquire 28 hotels from Stouffer Group in the United States and 9 hotels from Penta Group in Europe. Among them, 28 hotels in the United States are located in Chicago, Seattle, Florida, Hawaii and other places, and New World owns them
Among them, 19 have ownership rights and 9 have management rights contracts.
In Lin Zuhui's view, the Zheng Yutong family should use the money to engage in real estate business.
Of course, the Zheng Yutong family has always wanted to become the hotel kings of Hong Kong, or even the world, so it is understandable.
In a few years, New Era Group will also need to acquire hotel assets, provided that the company's cash flow is too high.
I chatted with the two about some things. It was the first gathering of friends in the new year. The three families formed an alliance and could work together.
Local consortiums still need to form alliances, let alone foreign consortiums entering Hong Kong.
Xiangjiang is a highly monopolized place. If outsiders want to invest, they can only rely on local consortiums.
With the rise of emerging chaebols, you must also pay a visit to fellow villagers and Bole.
Don’t look at those Nanyang consortiums that have brought huge capital to Hong Kong. In fact, they can only hang around in second-tier real estate companies, such as Kerry Properties (Guo Huonian) and Sino Properties (Ng Tingfang). These two Nanyang consortiums are considered to be the best in Hong Kong, and they are still crowded.
Not among the top ten real estate companies.
For example, Lippo (Lee Boon Ching family, Indonesia), Hong Leong (Kwok Ling Chan family, Malaysia), First Pacific (Lim Siu Leung, Indonesia), Po Kong Industrial (Wong Chi Ming family, Thailand). These can only be found outside the second-tier families in Hong Kong.
Wander.
Due to the emergence of Lin Zuhui, Lippo's Huazhi Center and Hong Leong's Overseas Trust Bank were all snatched away by him. They did not have much representation in Hong Kong.
New Era Group suddenly announced two news: a Category 12 typhoon blew up in Hong Kong.
The first is the issuance of HK$5 billion of convertible bonds, of which major shareholders have subscribed for HK$2.5 billion.
The second is that its subsidiary Chinese Real Estate will establish a private equity fund to invest exclusively in overseas real estate activities.
Both pieces of news are incredible:
The first news that is incredible is that when New Era Group issues bonds in Xiangjiang, it will face Xiangjiang investors; while other companies issue convertible bonds, usually to foreign countries, such as US dollar bonds, samurai bonds (Japanese
), etc. This is because Hong Kong is too small and they are worried that the issuance will not be successful. Every time New Era Group issues bonds, it issues Hong Kong dollar bonds in Hong Kong, which shows Mr. Lin Zuhui's confidence.
The second piece of news that is incredible is that it is the first time that there is no special "real estate fund" in Hong Kong; the important thing is that this is a "real estate fund" that invests overseas.
Of course, with Lam Cho-fai's credibility and reputation, many people responded immediately. From the perspective of Xiangjiang investors, it must be very profitable to follow Lam Cho-fai, who has the "Midas touch".
The Regent Hotel is holding a jewelry auction of a certain brand.
Many internationally renowned jewelry brands regularly hold jewelry auctions in some important cities around the world, and the jewelry auctioned are top-quality jewelry that are difficult to sell in stores.
And Xiangjiang is undoubtedly the most wealthy city in the world. Whether it is jewelry brands or luxury brands, they regard it as a money-making powerhouse in Asia.
Lin Zixia and Shi Nansheng arrived at the scene and immediately attracted the attention and greetings of many people.
Both of them are celebrities in Hong Kong. Lin Zixia is a representative figure of "success and fame" in the entertainment industry. Although her relationship history has been controversial in recent years, after all, her partner is Lin Zuhui, and no one looks down on her.
Who is Lin Zuhui? He is the founder of a world-class family that surpasses the four major families in Hong Kong. He is only 28 years old this year and has already become the richest man in China. He is more likely to become the richest man in the world. It doesn’t matter if he is rich, the most important thing is that he looks handsome.
, so talented that it is inevitable that he will become the dream object of thousands of young girls and young women.
After sitting down, Shi Nansheng smiled and joked: "You are so majestic, Mrs. Boss!"
Lin Zixia looked at Shi Nansheng with a heroic look. Shi Nansheng, who is also a woman, could not help but sigh. There are thousands of beauties, but there is only one Lin Zixia. No wonder such a legendary man insists on coming even though Qingxia is 10 years older than him.
A golden house hides beauty.
"It's so bad to let others hear you talk too much! In his words, I'm just his confidante!"
"What do you know?"
"He knows everything, so naturally he can talk about anything."
"Tsk, tsk, I admit this, our boss knows everything, otherwise there would be no ATV now!"
As a senior executive of ATV, how could he not know that ATV is what it is today? It is all Lin Zuhui who is planning the outline. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Shu-Yi Chow is, it would be great if she can compete with TVB 55, but how can she become a world-class TV station?
Lin Zixia is also very happy that her friend works at ATV. After all, the salary is high and the important thing is the connections.
The auction will start soon.
At the beginning, some people may not have taken Lin Zixia seriously, thinking how much money she could have.
However, Lin Zixia is no longer what she used to be. She collects tens of millions in rent every year, not to mention the more than 20 million from her family office. She is very rich in funds.
Soon, Lin Zixia fell in love with a 100-carat blue diamond. In the past, she might have been worried that it was too expensive, but now she didn't hesitate much. What's more, her man said that diamonds will also appreciate in value, and the potential is very good.
, of course lower than jade.
She held up the sign calmly, which made the auctioneers wonder for a moment. How much money did Lin Zuhui give these women? The diamond ring worth 1 million US dollars was not lenient at all.
In the end, Lin Zixia got her wish and won the 100-carat blue diamond for US$1.36 million, which was instantly recorded by the media.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shi Nansheng sighed: "Oh my god, you are crazy, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars!"
Lin Zixia said excitedly: "I don't know why, I didn't want to spend so much money, but I think Ah Hui must agree with me to take this photo."
Shi Nansheng was speechless!
Shouson Hill Villa.
Lin Zuhui's car drove into the front yard, and soon he saw Lin Zixia holding her son out of the door. He couldn't help but smile knowingly. He had always felt that cherishing Lin Zixia was a very necessary thing.
"Ah Hui, I made a mistake!" Lin Zixia hugged her son and said pitifully.
Lin Zuhui smiled, hugged his son and told him that he had made a mistake, which made him not care at all, unless she made a principled mistake, that is, she dared to hook up with other men.
"What's the matter?" Lin Zuhui took the child, put his arm around Lin Zixia's waist, and walked into the villa.
Lin Zixia immediately said: "I attended an auction and saw a large blue diamond. I couldn't help but spend more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Then let me take a look and I will check for you whether it is worth it!"
Lin Zixia immediately said excitedly: "Don't you blame me for spending money randomly?"
He said a wise saying that made Lin Zixia admire her!
"When rich people spend money, that's not called spending money, that's called investing. When people who don't have money spend money, that's called real spending money!"
The implication is that when wealthy people spend money to buy diamonds, jade, red wine, and even luxury goods, they can be regarded as investments because they will appreciate in value. The same is true for luxury goods. It doesn’t matter how much the value will increase, but at least they will maintain their value.
This has also become: the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer and poorer.
"I love you so much, dear husband!" Lin Zixia felt relieved, happily kissed Lin Zuhui, and then took Lin Zuhui to watch.
Handing the child to the nanny, the two walked towards the underground treasure room.
This villa is almost the best villa in Shouson Mountain. It is much better than the one owned by Li Chaoren. Its current value should be more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
So just because Lin Zixia lives in Shouson Mountain, the upper class circles in Xiangjiang know that Lin Zuhui's lover is nobler than them.
Come to the treasure room with heavy protection underground. There are many treasures stored here, and there will be more in the future.
Seeing the blue diamond auctioned by Lin Zixia, Lin Zuhui looked at it carefully and commented: "It is very beautiful, suitable for you to attend important occasions."
"What about the room for appreciation?"
"It's very big. In another twenty years, it will be worth more than 100 million, which is no less than the room for appreciation of real estate."
Lin Zixia immediately threw herself into Lin Zuhui's arms excitedly, and said happily: "I thought it was too expensive! You don't know, I didn't plan to auction it at the time, but I always felt that if you were by my side, you would definitely ask me to buy it.
So, I bought it!”
When Lin Zuhui heard this, he was slightly absent-minded. He seemed to remember that in an interview in his previous life, Lin Zixia did say that before she got married, she saw that a 100-carat blue diamond cost more than 1 million U.S. dollars. At an auction 20 years later, he did not expect that
It already costs 190 million Hong Kong dollars. A reporter asked, will the old dog buy it for you? Lin Zixia smiled and avoided the topic. Obviously the price was too high.
It seems that this woman is very lucky in this life!
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Zixia raised her head and said with a smile that has not yet faded.
Lin Zuhui said: "I was thinking whether we should be romantic in your treasure room!"
"It's annoying. I haven't eaten yet and I'm thinking of doing bad things!"
Looking at Lin Zixia, who is so ladylike, she is not only Shutou, but also has a heroic spirit, which is just right. As long as she doesn't have short hair, Lin Zuhui will definitely love this temperament.
In the end, Lin Zuhui braked in time and exited the treasure room with Lin Zixia in his arms.
"Since we are creating humans, it is natural to be more formal. After dinner, we will have some fun!"
"It's annoying, you always say bad things!"
“It’s called boudoir fun!”
"It's up to you!"
After some flirting, the two returned to the restaurant to eat.
Eating is serious, this is for a better experience later.
10 o'clock in the evening.
Lin Zuhui was lying on the bed watching TV, but in his heart he was looking forward to what kind of surprise Lin Zixia would give him. He had played with ancient costumes and so on, hoping that she could make a breakthrough.
Suddenly, Lin Zuhui was stunned.
I saw that Lin Zixia defeated a very young girl who looked like she was in her twenties. Of course, if you don't look carefully!
"Don't laugh at me! You said you liked me in the 1970s, so I dressed it up for you!" Lin Zixia said anxiously.
Lin Zuhui immediately stepped forward, pulled her in front of him, and said, "Of course you won't laugh. You look like the most beautiful woman in Taiwan at that time."
This immediately made the beauty happy. Then she turned around and wore a matching pink skirt. Coupled with her joyful mood, Lin Zuhui had the illusion that if he traveled back in time to the 1970s, he must go to Taiwan to snatch her away.
Maybe after he dies of old age, he will travel back to the 1970s again.
