In the afternoon of that day, Lin Zuhui suddenly felt that it was a bit painful to go to work, and his mind always thought of Guan Jiahui's spring light in front of him, and her long legs stretching towards the mysterious place.
It's all this woman's fault for taking the initiative to seduce him!
"Why are you pretending? It's better to have fun and focus more on work in the afternoon." Lin Zuhui said mockingly.
His career is not based on hard work and self-discipline.
His wealth basically comes from the "golden finger" of time travel. He does not need to read financial statements every day like Buffett, nor does he need to hold meetings every day to discuss which industries have good prospects like Li Chaoren does.
It can be said that since he made his first pot of gold in the 'Stock Training Class', he has just been making money. With the memory and experience of his previous life, he speculated in real estate, securities, and foreign exchange without any need at all.
Too much analysis.
Of course, he still worked hard. He learned professional knowledge in real estate, multiple languages, and professional financial knowledge... But these are actually based on - he has the most powerful brain, otherwise if
Learning is difficult, but he would be very satisfied if he could understand real estate knowledge.
After drinking a few sips of water, I finally suppressed my restlessness and started working seriously.
He still has a lot of work now, such as the design blueprints and planning plans of large-scale projects, which all need to be reviewed and approved by him before they can be finalized. In the past year, he has participated in the planning and approval of many large-scale projects, quite a lot.
It's a lot of hard work. Of course, the design of these projects itself is done by hiring world-renowned designers.
During this period, Chen Bin came to Lin Zuhui’s office.
"Boss, we have completed the commissioning contract with the American designer Brennan Beer Gorman. They will complete the design plan of Diamond Head-Hollywood Plaza according to our requirements. It is expected to complete the design plan by the end of October and start construction by the end of the year.
Completed.”
Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with this construction period. It will be completed at the peak of the real estate industry. By then, the lease period can be generally longer and a lot more money can be made.
Hollywood Plaza translates to Hollywood Plaza, and Hollywood is Cantonese. For this square, New Era Group's requirements are to design a "Star Plaza" on the first floor, covering an area of nearly 10,000 square feet.
Ideal location for events and exhibitions.
The most classic design of a modern shopping mall is of course the internal square where events are held, which can achieve the effect of diverting traffic.
"Well. The construction area of Hollywood Plaza is 600,000 square feet, and there will be more than 200 shops. It will become the largest shopping mall in East Kowloon, which is of great significance."
In addition to the 600,000-square-foot shopping mall, Plaza Hollywood also has 1.2 million residential buildings, with a total investment of HK$6 billion. The sale of the five residential buildings in 1996 would have brought back almost 8 billion, enough to recover the cost (
(including interest), you can still make a little profit. The remaining 600,000 square feet of shopping mall is the net profit.
Shopping mall network has also been a key development direction of New Era Group in recent years. Because of this, New Era Group is called a "all-round real estate company" by investors.
In developing real estate, office buildings, shopping mall networks, and parking lots, New Era Group is the dominant player in almost every field, which makes investors have to marvel at New Era Group's strong ability to attract money.
You know, even established real estate companies like Cheung Kong Holdings have sold the Laguna City shopping mall (170,000 square feet, 730 million), the luxury building No. 2 on Garden Terrace (800 million), and the Parkn Shop Building (15 Cheung Sha Wan) in the past six months.
Ten thousand square feet, 330 million), just as Hang Lung took over these rental properties, it almost gave up developing real estate.
This is what happens:
By selling rent-collecting properties, Cheung Kong Holdings obtains large amounts of cash to purchase land and develop residential buildings;
Hang Lung used the funds to develop rental properties and gave up land reserves;
New World Development used the funds to invest in hotels and build the second phase of the convention and exhibition center, but also missed out on land reserves;
Henderson Land focuses on developing residential properties and rarely develops rental properties;
Sun Hung Kai is very strong and is also working hard to develop a shopping mall network in new towns. Currently, there are nearly 20 shopping mall networks. This is due to their land reserves in the 1970s and 1980s, and the land cost is very low.
As the largest real estate company, New Era Group has developed in an all-round way from the beginning, because the company is like installing a water pump - raising funds through rights issues, issuing bonds, making financial profits, and making large loans, and has obtained huge amounts of tens of billions.
No other company can match the funding.
Therefore, the current net assets of New Era Group are too huge. It is conservatively estimated to be close to 200 billion, and it is still appreciating, because office buildings are still skyrocketing this year.
Chen Bin added: "Boss, the Ho Tung family intends to sell Tung Ping Building and Tung On Building in Mong Kok!"
When Lin Zuhui heard this, he immediately started thinking.
The properties of the Ho Tung family are very rich: Tung Ping Building in Mong Kok, Tung On Building, Tung Ying Building in Tsim Sha Tsui (the predecessor of the one shopping mall), Tung Shing Building in Wan Chai, Tung Sang Building, the castle-style villa at No. 35 Deep Water Bay, Bullet Path
House No. 6-10, No. 75 Peak Road, Hiu Kok Garden, the Peak Ho Tung Garden, No. 19 Park Road, Jardine's Hollow.
"Ignore it, we don't buy buildings or shopping malls now, we just develop them ourselves!"
"OK"
After Chen Bin left, Lin Zuhui showed a smile. The Ho Tung family is not stupid. Selling two buildings at this time is simply because Jiuqi is approaching. As senior officials in Taiwan, the Ho Tung family (currently headed by He Shili) is naturally anxious.
Sell some assets, implement the 'egg philosophy', and diversify funds.
And now, it is the time when real estate is booming.
However, Lin Zuhui knew that in his previous life, the family sold a lot of assets around 2000. At that time, it was the Asian financial crisis, and then it encountered SAS. From 1997 to 2005, Xiangjiang real estate was at its lowest point. Maybe this family was also afraid.
After July 7, Xiangjiang will plummet and there will be no confidence.
Of course, the four buildings in Mong Kok and Wan Chai owned by the Ho Tung family are too small for even Lin Cho-fai to look down on.
The only thing worth looking at is the Tung Ying Building in Tsim Sha Tsui. This building can be rebuilt into the one, the tallest shopping mall in Hong Kong, with an area of 400,000 square feet. In the tourist area of Tsim Sha Tsui, it is naturally valuable.
As for other luxury properties, if they are sold, Lam Cho-fai can consider taking over, but this does not include Ho Tung Gardens, which is expensive and troublesome.
Generally speaking, Lin Zuhui's horizons are now too high and he is no longer interested in these properties.
Whether it is office buildings, shopping malls, or villas and mansions, Lin Zuhui has never purchased any more. Logically speaking, it is still profitable to buy now and sell before long.
However, he didn't want to give outsiders the impression of a 'speculator', so as not to increase his reputation. After all, he was the richest man, and there were some things he couldn't do.
Before the Asian financial crisis, selling properties while taking advantage of the high price was called "risk aversion because the price is too high";
After the financial crisis, Xiangjiang real estate generally fell by nearly 60%. He would buy properties at low prices. This was called "rescuing the market."
In the past two years, the real estate market in Xiangjiang has been booming. As a large real estate developer, Lin Zuhui is easily attacked as the person who "takes the lead in real estate speculation" once he speculates on properties.
Once the real estate industry hits a trough and Lin Zuhui chooses to enter the market, no one will feel anything wrong. Of course, it will not change people's fear.
After all, few people dare to buy the bottom, but there are many people who chase the highs.
