What Lin Zuhui hates most is "bidding", especially "bidding" for projects he is determined to win. He would rather "bid".
When auctioning land, if you are determined to win it, your bid will be tight, but it will still be within the acceptable range.
But if you submit a secret bid (referring to a tender), you will be even more nervous. If the price conditions you provide are different from others, it will make people laugh. Therefore, every time you place a bid, you must do thorough research on the information in advance and be consistent with the attributes.
We hold many meetings, but we are afraid that if someone is not familiar with the matter, it will leak out, so most of the time we sit down and discuss the price one or two days before the bid is awarded.
Especially the last one or two days were particularly stressful.
This time, the Airport Railway Central Terminal is undoubtedly the project that Lin Zuhui is determined to win. To this end, Lin Zuhui has greeted several partners and the price will be determined by him.
If the winning bid price is too high and everyone thinks it is unacceptable, you are welcome to withdraw at any time without any responsibility.
In the last two days at the end of November, after discussions between Lin Zuhui and several trusted subordinates, he finally decided to bid at HK$23.6 billion; this price was more than HK$3 billion higher than outside predictions, just to ensure that nothing went wrong.
He always firmly believes that there may not be rich people who want to join his army, so he would rather be "laughed at".
Lin Zuhui breathed a sigh of relief after handing over the tender document to the subway company in person; at this time, he was no longer nervous, after all, the matter was a foregone conclusion.
Suppose he loses the bid this time, then he will have to think about how to play those competitors.
After spending a weekend.
Monday, December 4th.
Heung Kong MTR Corporation announced that a consortium composed of New Era Group, Henderson Land Development Company, Towngas and China Real Estate has acquired the property development rights above the Airport Railway Central Station.
Reporters inquired about the specific information one after another, and soon got clear results; New Era Group won the bid 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars higher than the second place Land.
Lin Zuhui himself also breathed a sigh of relief. The increase of 2.8 billion is completely acceptable.
It's just that people didn't expect that the second place was Land Company. It seems that the Keswick family wants to defend its dominance in Central.
Now it seems that in the face of absolute strength, Land has still done nothing.
After winning the bid, New Era Group immediately took action and invited world-renowned design masters and firms to design the entire project. In Lin Zuhui's mind, the entire project would be best completed and opened in 2003, just in time to usher in the economic boom of Hong Kong.
Rise time.
There were still two bidding sections along the subway line, so New Era Group voluntarily gave up the bidding. After all, in Lin Zuhui's view, the financial crisis was coming in 20 months and it was not worth investing in.
New Era Group.
Liang Zhenxun came to Lin Zuhui's office and said: "Boss, the bond issuance work has been entrusted to Peregrine and Bahrain Bank, and it is expected to be completed later this month."
Lin Zuhui raised his head and said: "So, assuming that the funds to pay the subway company are paid first, our company will have a cash flow of 10 billion by the end of the year?"
Liang Zhenxun said: "Well, just a lot more!"
I always spend my money so tightly, which makes me feel happy and helpless at the same time.
The happy thing is that the cash flow is not much, which shows that the company's funds are used well. If too much is used, it will cause depreciation. The helpless thing is that the company does not have a lot of money in its accounts, which makes Lin Zuhui less confident.
Regardless of whether there will still be around 12 billion by the end of the year, 6 billion will be the newly issued bonds.
Lin Zuhui thought for a while and said to Liang Zhenxun: "You have been paying attention to London gold recently. If the price rises to US$400 per ounce, remind me!"
Liang Zhenxun knew that his boss was planning to make financial investments again.
New Era Group is currently under a lot of pressure. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel and the Central Station it invested in were said to be overpriced; the Canary Wharf project, Langham Hotel and other projects were also said to have too high an investment period.
It's been a long time, but there has been no real benefit in recent years.
In short, there are many people who hold this view. They think that Lin Zuhui likes to invest "lavishly", but the return period of the investment projects is too long. If it were not for the profits of Xiangjiang's real estate, it would not be able to support Lin Zuhui's such lavish spending.
Of course, most people think differently:
First of all, New Era Group’s annual profit is one of the best in Hong Kong, which is commendable;
Secondly, New Era Group’s annual non-recurring profits are as high as several billions, so it can certainly consider projects with long investment periods;
Then, from the perspective of investment in Manhattan office buildings, New Era Group’s investment is very good (the rent in Manhattan has increased from 40 US dollars per square foot per year to 48 US dollars per square foot per year. With the advent of the Internet era, office rents will skyrocket).
Finally, New Era Group's net assets are rising at a rate far behind that of all companies in Hong Kong.
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
Lin Zuhui nodded. Xiangjiang real estate will be booming next year, but even so, without non-recurring profits, profits will inevitably decrease instead of increasing. Therefore, it is better to continue to invest in venture capital.
The reason why he turned his attention to gold again was because this year (1995), after the U.S. dollar strengthened, gold actually had an upward trend.
This gave him a whiff of opportunity!
After all, common sense says that as the U.S. dollar strengthens, gold should fall because gold is a safe haven.
In addition, he remembered clearly that gold was on a downward trend in the late 1990s, probably falling to around US$260 to US$280 per ounce. In addition to the strengthening of the US dollar, central banks of various countries sold gold in large quantities.
It was not until after the 9-11 incidents that gold began to rise all the way, with the highest record being over 1,800 US dollars per ounce around 2011.
Based on this information, if gold rises to more than 400 US dollars per ounce recently, he will consider short selling. After all, the chance of winning is huge.
It is currently only US$390 per ounce, which is still not very safe. Gold reached US$400 per ounce in 1993, and Lin Zuhui believes that it will rise above US$400 per ounce this time.
Otherwise, it is better not to speculate.
At worst, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, I bought more gold futures and spot gold.
On the sea, the breeze blows, and it suddenly feels biting. The winter in Xiangjiang is very short, and the temperature is not too low, but it is the same as the winter weather in the south - wet and cold.
Fortunately, there is no cold at all in Lin Zuhui's superyacht.
Lin Zuhui was sitting in the living room on the second floor, enjoying wine and snacks alone. The temperature in the room was pleasant.
What was the reason that led Tycoon Lin to go to sea alone?
Of course, Lin Zuhui was not alone in the sea. Soon, through the glass window, he saw a small yacht heading towards his super yacht. A smile appeared on Lin Zuhui's lips, and his female companion arrived.
As his status rises, even if Lin Zuhui doesn't care about public opinion, he will restrain himself a lot. Especially when he interacts with female artists, he only interacts with family hotels, private villas, and super yachts.
Sometimes, fame can be a tiring thing.
However, fortunately, Lin Zuhui is rich, handsome, and temperamental, so he can easily provoke women.
Seeing the small yacht approaching, Lin Zuhui stood up and came to the entrance of the first floor.
At this time, she saw a beautiful girl being dragged to the super yacht by a female bodyguard.
The girl has an exquisite mixed-race face, and it is this year’s Asian sister Yang Gongru.
"Boss!" Yang Gongru looked very happy when he saw Lin Zuhui, and couldn't help but look at his super yacht.
Lin Zuhui smiled and held her hand, taking Yang Gongru to visit his yacht. It was not his fault that he was so direct, but the woman took the initiative. The two of them had not interacted with each other before, but at an event held by ATV, Lin Zuhui, as the boss, Yang Gongru
As Asian sisters back then, the two socialized at events; but Yang Gongru seemed to be very proactive, and Lin Zuhui left her phone number in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
When Yang Gongru saw that his hand was being held by Lin Zuhui, he didn't mind at all. Instead, he took the initiative, like the hostess of the yacht, visiting as much as he wanted.
When Lin Zuhui saw this, he immediately understood that this kind of woman is easy to take the bait, but also easy to cross the line. She will need a stick and a good education later.
"Boss, I have never seen such a big yacht!" Yang Gongru sat directly on the bed in the bedroom and said excitedly.
Lin Zuhui came up to Yang Gongru and whispered: "I'll stay here tonight, so you can see him before!"
The two of them were close at hand, and Lin Zuhui's breath blew on Yang Gongru's face. The woman boldly leaned forward and kissed Lin Zuhui.
Sure enough, she is the wolf and Lin Zuhui is the sheep.
"Boss, you want to pick me up!" After they separated, Yang Gongru said with a peach-like face.
Lin Zuhui took her hand and walked towards the restaurant, while saying: "You are trying to tease me. There were so many people at the last event, and you were so proactive that I almost couldn't get off the stage."
Yang Gongru would admit it and immediately said: "Yes, I just want to thank you for letting the company focus on cultivating me!"
Lin Zuhui was stunned and said, "Who did you listen to about this?"
Yang Gongru said innocently: "I guess, because I have only been elected as Miss Asia for a few months, I have already received the task of filming a series."
Lin Zuhui brought Yang Gongru to his seat and said unceremoniously: "Then you are completely wrong. You are the most outstanding Asian sister in recent years. It is normal for people to praise you on the stage and to be sentimental."
When Yang Gongru heard this, he immediately said coquettishly: "Then if I follow you, the people in the theater will always praise me more, right?"
"Of course not, I don't interfere in Taiwan's affairs."
"That's it, it doesn't matter, anyway, the stage is flattering me!"
Lin Zuhui made up his mind to conquer this woman fiercely later and make her obedient and not cause any scandal for him.
He won't be able to praise her, but he can block her.
The two of them were dining on the boat. Through the window, they could see the bright lights on the shore not far away, and the waves on the sea were sparkling, which was really beautiful.
The food is five-star packaged, including the company's Luchen Family wine, and the beauty is this year's Asian sister. This life is still very satisfying for Lin Zuhui.
Recently, he may have another female artist, that is Lin Xinru from Taiwan, who has signed a contract with ATV and is coming to Hong Kong to develop.
Lin Zuhui was in a very good mood when he thought about eating "new flavors". It wasn't that he was tired of Guan Jiahui and the others, but he wanted to add some new flavors.
After chatting with Yang Gongru and getting to know her better, Lin Zuhui was a little unhappy when he learned that she was her mother's agent in Hong Kong; Cai Shaofen's mother had caused him trouble back then.
However, Lin Zuhui didn't take it all to heart. As long as Yang Gongru was taken care of, the problem would naturally be solved. She couldn't be a gambling mother!
When the wine was almost finished, Lin Zuhui invited Yang Gongru to dance.
"Boss, are you really only 30 years old?" Yang Gongru looked closely at Lin Zuhui's handsome face, and then remembered Lin Zuhui's wealth and status, and said in disbelief.
"I will be 31 years old soon," Lin Zuhui said with a smile.
At this time, he will slowly move to Yang Gongru's waist, dancing and pinching it at the same time.
"Boss, can I ask you a personal question?"
"ask!"
"Do you really have several concubines?"
"No, there is no such law in Xiangjiang!"
What Lin Zuhui said is true. He has never admitted that he has a concubine. Although he and Guan Jiahui and others have appeared in public, he will not admit it. After all, it is a matter that violates the law.
He didn't admit it, but if someone said so, there was nothing he could do.
Yang Gongru's disappointed look flashed across his face. Did this woman still want to be a concubine? She was so ambitious!
Lin Zuhui took off her clothes, and the woman quickly said: "Boss, can you go to the bedroom? The glass here is transparent!"
It makes sense. Although outsiders can't see it, he has bodyguards from two yachts on duty, so he should restrain himself. His identity is harmful!
He picked up the woman by the waist, walked into the bedroom, and quickly stripped her clean.
It's thin and there's not much material on it.
However, sometimes Chichi Yangzhou Shouma still enjoys it, not to mention Yang Gongru's is not average either.
While Lin Zuhui was playing, Yang Gongru panted and untied Lin Zuhui, which soon shocked her.
“Good BIG”
Fussing woman.
Lin Zuhui pressed down on her shoulders, and the woman slowly squatted down.
Suddenly, the temperature began to rise.
The next morning.
Yang Gongru slept softly in Lin Zuhui's arms, and then was pinched awake by Lin Zuhui.
"Boss, please forgive me, I will listen to you from now on!" Yang Gongru woke up and immediately thought of the 'nightmare' last night, and quickly begged for mercy.
"Listen to what I say?" Lin Zuhui said proudly that the inspection was successful.
"We can't reveal anything about the two of us to anyone. Anyone can be called." Yang Gongru wrote it down word for word.
Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Do you have any objections?"
Yang Gongru raised his head, came closer, and said sweetly: "No objection! Just next time, can you be a little gentler? It hurts so much!"
Lin Zuhui raised her chin with his left hand and said domineeringly: "Of course there is no problem. I am very good to obedient women! Tell me, what do you want?"
Yang Gongru seemed to understand men very well, or he was a little smart, and he immediately said: "I want whatever you give me!"
Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "You are smart. You know that I am very good to women. I will arrange a mansion for you later!"
Yang Gongru was immediately overjoyed. The mansion must cost at least more than 10 million!
