In late January, the Hong Kong government announced that New Era Group had invested HK$3.08 billion in the Guangdong Daoyuan police dormitory land. The real estate market suddenly became worse. Because the land was nearly 30% less than the surveyor's estimated value.
This means that Xiangjiang real estate will fall by 30%.
In the first half of 1997, the price of such land was more than 6,000 yuan per square foot (land price), but now it is only worth about 3,000 yuan per square foot.
Obviously, it indicates that Xiangjiang real estate will fall by as much as 50%, and people who invest in real estate for a while cried out.
The office of New Era Group.
Lin Zuhui is very satisfied with Chen Bin's recent performance. He has invested in two pieces of land in succession, which has increased the land reserve of New Era Group. Including the Dapu land auctioned last year, New Era Group has "missed" nearly 9 billion Hong Kong dollars in land; it can be regarded as,
This made up for the 'loss' that New Era Group suffered during the peak period from 1996 to 1997, when almost nothing was gained, and instead it bought bargains.
"Dongdong"
"Come in"
"Boss, Xu Sheng is here!"
"Um"
Li Ke took Xu Zhantang and walked into Lin Zuhui's office. Lin Zuhui stood up from his office and came over.
"Xu Sheng, sit down!"
"Lin Sheng, you're welcome!"
The two of them sat on the sofa, and Li Ke served tea and then left.
After taking a sip of tea, Lin Zuhui did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Xu Sheng, China Bus wants to acquire Citybus. I wonder what you think?"
Xu Zhantang said in his mind, you are sure that I will lose a lot of money in this financial crisis, so you decided to take advantage of Citybus. Who in Xiangjiang doesn’t know that now all the companies owned by Lin Zuhui are ‘gods of wealth’, with very rich cash flow?
.In other words, Lin Zuhui was already keenly aware of the danger before the financial crisis, so he made such a layout.
"Lin Sheng has already spoken, so naturally I had no choice but to agree."
"Haha, thank you for that. To be honest, I also intend to integrate the bus business on Hong Kong Island to better serve Hong Kong citizens and tourists. Especially the tourist experience, this will be beneficial to the tourism industry in Hong Kong."
Lin Zuhui's demeanor of caring about the country and the people left Xu Zhantang speechless. If it were anyone else, he would have despised him in his heart; but Lin Zuhui, who is known as the "Commercial Governor" of Hong Kong, is really disappointing.
No one can find fault with it.
From Lin Zuhui's perspective, he knows that Hong Kong's patent rights are a 'money-making tool'. Reintegrating the bus business on Hong Kong Island can not only make money, but also enhance his status in Hong Kong. Of course, in terms of services and hardware
, naturally it also needs to be done well so that no one can find fault with it.
For example, the Hong Kong Island bus business has an annual net profit of 300 million. The new bus group may only earn 200 million. Stability is enough, and it must have the fine style of a large enterprise.
"Lin Sheng, let me ask a personal question, will Xiangjiang's economy deteriorate?" Xu Zhantang couldn't help but ask.
He has been worried recently because two of his listed companies are heavily in debt for investment properties and will be on the verge of bankruptcy if the situation worsens.
The two were considered friends. Lin Zuhui had been "interested in antiques for a while" and consulted Xu Zhantang a lot. The two even exchanged antiques.
Lin Zuhui said honestly: "International speculators will continue to come to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong's economy will probably worsen this year. This is my personal opinion."
Xu Zhantang suddenly felt overwhelmed and a little lost!
Lin Zuhui advised: "Xu Sheng, there are always ups and downs in life, so you should actively cope with it to better face the future. As far as I know, you have a lot of assets, and your situation is much better than most people."
Hearing this, Xu Zhantang nodded seriously. When it came to antiquities appreciation, he could be regarded as Lin Zuhui's 'mentor and helpful friend'; but when it came to business, Lin Zuhui left him alone dozens of times.
"By the way, I don't know if Lin Sheng is still interested in antiques. I may want to sell some antiques."
Lin Zuhui said: "I don't care, I will take it if you ask for it!"
Xu Zhantang nodded and said: "Okay"
Originally, if you want to sell antiques, it is easier to get high prices at auctions; however, the financial crisis in Asia will inevitably affect the auction of collections. If it is auctioned in Europe and the United States, it is obvious that the Chinese treasures will be lost overseas.
Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Zhantang knows that Lin Zuhui is very generous with the price, so he is a good target for transferring the collection.
After Xu Zhantang left, Lin Zuhui showed a smile.
Both are good news. With his current net worth, antiques are actually "worthless", but collections, properties, gold, etc. are channels for a super family to hide their wealth.
As for the acquisition of Citybus, profit is secondary. The important thing is that it has taken another small step towards monopolizing Xiangjiang.
In fact, at this time, Lin Zuhui's listed companies already account for 25% of Xiangjiang's total market value, and it is expected that the proportion will increase this year, possibly reaching a terrifying level of 30%.
In addition to the cash flow of these companies, what is more important is the concept of ‘technology’ and ‘culture’ that is about to hit.
New Era Group has the technology concept of "Cyberport", and Wanhui Media is even more powerful. It is now a technology company with world-class software icq, its business covers more than a dozen countries, and its total users reach 26 million.
.......
Monday, February 2nd.
Today is the first working day after the Lunar New Year. Lin Zuhui sent out "Rickey" at the headquarters of New Era Group. Both employees and management are happily welcoming the new year of work.
When other companies in Hong Kong have gone bankrupt or are in trouble, and even wages are a problem; last year, all the major groups under Lin Zuhui received the minimum "double pay", and more of them received "bonuses".
There are two models of year-end bonuses in Xiangjiang. One is 'double pay' (two months' salary is received in the last month). There is no surprise in this. Of course, there were only a handful of companies that could receive 'double pay' at the end of last year;
The other type is the floating year-end bonus 'bonus', which almost always starts with 'three grains'.
Although he ordered major groups to "save costs" last year, he did not include employee benefits, so there should be no problem for Lin Zuhui to select the "Best Boss Award".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Boss, congratulations on getting rich!" In the office building, the staff expressed their gratitude and blessings to Lin Zuhui.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "We are happy together. It is all thanks to you that I can make a fortune!"
Everyone was suddenly in a state of excitement. Their boss was good at talking and it was so comfortable to listen to. Everyone was even thinking that they should work hard this year to create more wealth for the company, so that the boss could also make a fortune, and they could also get promotions and salary increases.
After a lot of fun, Lin Zuhui returned to the office and saw that the time was already past nine o'clock.
Chen Xiaofen was the first to come to Lin Zuhui's office and report to him.
“Boss, let me report to you this year’s residential project sales plan in Xiangjiang!”
"Um"
Although real estate has fallen sharply, it must be sold at a low price. This is called "goods rotate", not to mention that there cannot be no profits from Xiangjiang Development Real Estate this year.
Since November last year, major real estate developers have been selling properties at reduced prices, and conflicts between major agents in order to compete for customers are not uncommon.
Even major real estate developers are fighting fiercely. For example, Wheelock cut off Cheung Kong twice and cut prices to compete with Cheung Kong before the adjacent Cheung Kong project was sold.
At the same time, major real estate developers have introduced various methods to cooperate with promotions, such as Sun Hung Kai's first "Interest Protection Plan", that is, if the buyer's mortgage interest rate exceeds the upper limit set by the developer, the excess interest will be borne by the developer.
Bear; for example, Henderson proposed the "20% Price Decline Compensation Plan", that is, the market value of the property is lower than the purchase price within a specified time, and the buyer does not have to bear the difference, but can claim the difference from the developer for repayment.
In short, various promotions have been launched one after another.
These measures are of course very effective. They are mainly a boon to the "customers who are in urgent need". The supply of housing in Xiangjiang is already in short supply, while the "real estate speculators" have almost disappeared.
After listening to Chen Xiaofen's report, Lin Zuhui said: "The overall arrangement is good. New Era Group has the strength to cover large and medium-sized properties. This year's plan to sell 3,000 residential units is very reasonable. Among them, Cyberport accounts for 1,200 residential projects, which is also very reasonable.
.”
Chen Xiaofen nodded and said: "It's our boss who gave us confidence, otherwise we would have to follow the example of other developers and sell at a reduced price!"
At the end of last year, Wheelock launched a Kowloon site with a shocking unit price of only NT$5,888 (the peak unit price was NT$10,000); it can be seen that major real estate developers are really trying to cut prices to cash in cash and repay loans.
It is estimated that by May, almost all prices will start with the word 4, which is equivalent to a 60% drop, which is quite scary.
Lin Zuhui continued: "In this way, there should be a 'Little Indian Spring' in February and March. You can take advantage of this opportunity to achieve the sales target of Cyberport. At the same time, you can cooperate with the 'technological concept' for marketing. And deal with the outside world.
For various promotional methods, you can develop an 'option concept' and package promotions with 'increased appreciation', and the term can be set to 3 years..."
When Chen Xiaofen heard this, she knew that the boss was explaining the future trend of Xiangjiang Real Estate. It was everyone's consensus that Xiangjiang Real Estate would continue to fall by 30%. From what the boss meant, it can be inferred that Xiangjiang Real Estate will recover to its current level in three years, and to a certain extent.
appreciation.
Of course, this is a gambling agreement. If it loses, the developer has to give money to the customer, which can be used to repay its loan.
"OK"
After Chen Xiaofen left, Lin Zuhui thought that as long as he was around, Xiangjiang's economy would recover quickly; therefore, he did not expect Xiangjiang real estate to really drop to the level of his previous life - only 50% to 70% would be bought at the bottom, and 30% to 50% would be the best.
It’s time to fully buy the bottom.
After all, a lot of history has changed, although the general trend has not changed!
In the afternoon, Lin Zuhui took the time to look at the stock market and was immediately 'shocked'. The Hang Seng Index actually rose by 1,200 points and has climbed to around 12,300 points. It is amazing how 'superstitious' Hong Kong people are.
The market opened on the first day of the new year, which was a good omen - a bull market, so everyone bought stocks one after another, pushing the market higher. Of course, February is also called "Little Indian Spring", and everyone also believed that there would be good omens, so they entered the market one after another.
"Dongdong"
"Come in"
Liang Zhenxun came to Lin Zuhui's office and reported: "Boss, the group has repaid 15 billion in debt, and there are still 63.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in liquidity on the account, and the group's debt is 20 billion Hong Kong dollars."
Lin Zuhui nodded after hearing this.
Group debts are not all debts of the company. For example, the debts of listed subsidiaries or even the debts of a certain real estate will not be calculated in the group debts.
The debt of 20 billion is just a drizzle for a group with net assets of hundreds of billions. However, Lin Zuhui plans to seize the time to spend money and cannot let it sit idle on the account.
At the end of last year, according to statistics, the value of New Era Group’s overseas stock assets was as follows:
The total market value of U.S. stocks held is US$4.5 billion, which is about HK$35 billion;
The total market value of British stocks held is HK$26 billion;
The total market value of Sony holdings is HK$15.6 billion;
Total: stock market value of HK$76.6 billion.
"The group is preparing to acquire all the equity interests in the London Canary Wharf project, and it is estimated that it will need to spend approximately HK$13 billion."
"Okay, I'm ready to make financial arrangements!"
Lin Zuhui nodded. He had already made an appointment with the major shareholders holding the Canary Wharf project to redeem their equity and completely privatize the project.
Originally, other shareholders intended to list the Canary Wharf project next year, but they obviously had no objection to Lin Zuhui's offer to redeem their equity. The purpose of the listing was to cash out, and Lin Zuhui valued Canary Wharf.
At about 2.6 billion pounds (26 billion Hong Kong dollars), this price has a very good return rate for everyone, and it has appreciated by nearly 80% in five years.
........
In early February, Lin Zuhui came to London.
At the manor in London, he first spent the weekend with Li Jiaxin, Li Zi, Monica and their children.
The spacious living room looked very warm, which was incompatible with the weather in London. This was the life of the rich. Lin Zuhui sat on the sofa and hugged him, like a living god.
Monica, who has turned into a lady, makes people want to move. If it were not for the children, Lin Zuhui would have launched an attack. Li Jiaxin and Li Zi are still young, one is 27 years old, the other is 26 years old, and they are said to be girls who have never given birth to children.
Some people believe it too.
Monica fed a piece of cut honeydew melon into Lin Zuhui's mouth and replied charmingly: "How long will you stay in Europe this time?" After saying this, her eyes were full of seductive feelings.
Europeans and Americans mature quickly. Monica is over 33 years old this year, and she is more natural and graceful. However, Lin Zuhui likes her more, because Monica's current figure is exactly what he has always wanted. In short, she is a 'big' one.
For example, if you lift up Yuanyuan's buttocks, it will be the right size for him.
Lin Zuhui has always wanted to own more sheep and horses, but there was no suitable opportunity and his time did not allow it.
Of course, his so-called opportunity is not to find an 'ordinary person', but to meet a star he knew in his previous life. After all, if he were an 'ordinary person', he would have too many opportunities; this so-called ordinary does not mean appearance, but identity.
Lin Zuhui hugged her golden S-shaped waist and said with a smile: "If you miss me, come to Xiangjiang to find me at any time. Why wait?"
As soon as these words came out, the three women became energetic!
Monica said in surprise: "Really?"
Although she has a daughter and a son, she is still very passionate about Lin Zuhui.
Lin Zuhui said seriously: "In the past two years, I have arranged for you to be in Europe and the United States. In addition to the need to expand your career here and familiarize yourself with the environment, there is also another reason, that is, the social security in Xiangjiang is not good. For example, several rich people have been kidnapped in succession.
But recently, I received news that the largest thief group in Xiangjiang has been captured by the mainland, and the security of the entire Xiangjiang will also usher in a new aspect. Therefore, you are welcome to come back at any time, but you must make arrangements."
"Yeah" the three girls were overjoyed.
Lin Zuhui also smiled knowingly!
The rich and powerful thief group was taken over in January. They originally regarded the other side as an "arms base" and "rear area", so it is normal for them to be taken over in the mainland this time. And the associations in Xiangjiang will also be taken over by the official
Warning, so the security in Xiangjiang will improve.
Of course, this does not mean that Lin Zuhui will remove the security. It can only be said that the "sword hanging over the head" is gone. The security will still be there, but there is no need to strengthen it.
Lin Zuhui couldn't help but move his hands down and put them on Monica's buttocks. This kind of figure is popular in Europe and the United States in the 21st century, and is more popular than the Cassis family in the United States. Of course, this kind of figure is not suitable for Asians
', but it suits Lin Zuhui, a superman.
"This place is always empty. Do you have any other ideas, honey?" Lin Zuhui leaned into Monica's ear and whispered.
Europeans and Americans have different concepts and are more open-minded, so this is why Lin Zuhui's concubines are all from Xiangjiang, because they can accept it.
Seeing Lin Zuhui's temptation or suspicion, Monica was not angry. Instead, she approached the temptation and said, "I only know that you are the real man. I have no interest in other men!"
Li Jiaxin and Li Zi both expressed their opinions about the two people's remarks about tigers and wolves.
"The kids are here!"
Lin Zuhui and Monica separated!
"Let's go upstairs and let the children continue playing!" Lin Zuhui decided not to wait until night.
The three girls got up one after another and followed Lin Zuhui upstairs. Lin Zuhui was also a little embarrassed at this time because the tent was too high. Fortunately, the children had received Western education and were accustomed to the closeness of their parents.
Arriving at the bedroom upstairs, Lin Zuhui asked the three women to stand in front of him and admire them carefully.
To be honest, although everyone has been with him for a long time, in fact, the time that Lin Zuhui has spent with them is only the amount of time that others have spent together as a couple who have been in love for less than a year.
It is precisely because of this way of preserving love that Lin Zuhui and the girls can always have a good relationship. Of course, if you want to deal with it this way, you must first have a super strong body. How can a woman who has seen an eagle fall in love with a crow?
That's the truth.
The three of them all have very good figures and very good looks. Even the two girls, Li Jiaxin and Li Zi, have much better figures than in their previous lives because Lin Zuhui developed them early.
Lin Zuhui put his hands on the thighs of Monica and Li Jiaxin, and felt the sharp contrast between black and white. Of course, it was not that there were black people, but that Monica was wearing stockings. Li Zi also took care of it, and for a while Lin Zuhui felt that his legs
Wan Nian'.
He is a master at this. He has an appreciation for women like a work of art, and he is also fierce against enemies on the battlefield. In short, he is able to control the entire battle situation with ease.
A woman's figure and appearance need to be appreciated, just like playing golf. You can't always think about making a hole, but you have to regard this sport as a kind of social interaction.
"Dear" Monica felt like she was almost lost and couldn't help shouting out in a low voice. This man really had an amazing magic power that made it impossible for her to betray him.
Lin Zuhui showed a playful smile. You can't stand a pair of hands. No wonder so many of you are defeated by his subordinates.
On the other side, Lin Zuhui transferred his hands to the thighs of Li Jiaxin and Li Zi. They were both black and white. Of course Li Zi wore stockings, while Li Jiaxin's legs were long and white, and Lin Zuhui was used to her not wearing them.
Silk stockings, sometimes she wanted to change her style, which made Lin Zuhui very awkward, but later she insisted on it.
"Brother Hui" the two women looked at Lin Zuhui lovingly, feeling as if they were 'itching' like countless ants crawling on them.
