On the last day of his vacation in Australia, Lin Zuhui did not take a vacation, but took people to FMG Company for inspection.
"Mr. Lin, I'm glad you came to Fortescue!" Andrew Forrester happily greeted him.
At this time, although FMG was a listed company, its stock price was less than 0.1 Australian dollars and its market value was less than 50 million Australian dollars (35 million US dollars).
To put it bluntly, it is a shell company with no business.
But Lin Zuhui knew that once Andrew Forrester proposed the Pilbara iron ore and infrastructure project with a total investment of 1.85 billion Australian dollars and a scheduled annual output of 45 million tons of iron ore and received a feasibility report, the market value would begin to skyrocket.
; Once a pre-order and advance payment are obtained from the mainland, there is no need to wait for mining, and the market value will increase dozens of times.
"Mr. Andrew, I'm glad to see you too!" Lin Zuhui said politely. He didn't show any closeness or strength, just a normal investor attitude.
After being polite, the two parties came to the conference room of FMG Company.
Since Andrew Frese acquired Fortescue, although many people have doubted his plan, this has not prevented Fortescue's stock price from rising a lot.
Of course, before the feasibility report is released, it will not exceed A$0.1 per share.
"Mr. Lin, let me explain our plan to you!" Andrew Forrester said confidently.
Introducing Lin Zuhui, the world's richest man, will attract more investors' attention to FMG's plans, and even FMG's stock price will rise, making subsequent financing easier.
"Okay" Lin Zuhui said.
Next, Andrew Forrester spoke seriously about his mining plan.
After Lin Zuhui heard this, he applauded.
"It's a very good plan, and I'm very optimistic about the trend of iron ore. So, I plan to invest in this project!"
Be straightforward and don't worry that Andrew Forrester will refuse because he is short of money.
Sure enough, Andrew Forrester said: "Mr. Lin, are you sure you want to invest?"
"Why not? Although the feasibility report of the Pilbara Iron Ore Project has not yet come out, I have seen your confidence, which is why I am willing to invest. An excellent leader is already half the battle."
.”
"At the same time, I think once the feasibility report comes out, FMG can immediately go to China to discuss supply cooperation with various steel plants and get advance payments. In this way, sales and construction will be both correct, and this project can be
It is a very remarkable project to complete the formal supply of iron ore within five years.”
Andrew Forrester was immediately excited because Lin Zuhui was more confident than him. The important thing was that this person was from China. If he had his connections and went to China to negotiate the supply contract, he would definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
At the same time, Lin Zuhui is an excellent follow-up investor.
Of course, Andrew Forrester was also very vigilant and could not invest too many shares in Lin Zuhui.
"If Mr. Lin invests, we can issue 10% of new shares to you."
"OK!"
Lin Zuhui readily agreed!
Of course, even if he only holds 10% of the shares, FMG will continue to raise funds wildly in the future, and his shareholding will be greatly diluted.
However, FMG’s financing is not that easy, so he is still the best follow-up investor.
Maintaining a 10-15% shareholding is an easy task for New Era Group.
The rate of return may be dozens of times, which is absolutely classic.
.........
Back in Hong Kong, Lin Zuhui convened a meeting with the core senior executives of New Era Group.
Those who can be called core executives are at least the presidents of important subsidiaries; plus the senior executives of the group, there are only a dozen people in total.
It may seem like a lot, but in fact this is the core management of the entire New Era Group with nearly 200,000 employees around the world.
Lin Zuhui's order was almost conveyed to these dozen people.
Of course, Lin Zuhui has a skill, that is, he can remember the names, positions, responsibilities, etc. of hundreds of managers in the group; so it is not that he does not have the energy to manage these people, but that he deliberately does not manage so many and just catches those around him.
A dozen core senior executives are enough.
He is now more of a "spiritual mentor". Sitting in the group office, the company has a sense of cohesion; of course, he likes to check for leaks and fill in the gaps, and personally directs the steering direction.
In the conference room.
The expression of a senior executive is very relaxed. 2003 will be a year of harvest for the group, and the next year of 2004 will be even more fruitful for the group; because industries such as real estate, shipping, and hotels are experiencing explosions, and New Era Group's early stage
The industries laid out will bring huge profits to the group.
Lin Zuhui sat in the position of the leader and first reported the matter of FMG Company in Australia.
Although it is only an investment of a few million US dollars, it is not much, but it is the starting point for what will happen next.
"Global iron ore price increases will be a trend in the next few years. If we hold the equity of Vale and FMG, it will bring us huge profits." Lin Zuhui said with confidence.
Everyone also nodded in agreement. There is no need to question the boss's vision. What's more, the boss has deduced the development of FMG, which is very worthy of investment.
"President Yuan, how is the situation of Nanfu Power?" Lin Zuhui then asked by name.
Nanfu Power is regarded as the technology business department of New Era Group, and Nanfu Battery is only its subsidiary;
The real business of Nanfu Power is the lithium battery business, and the core business of lithium batteries is mobile phone batteries.
Xiaomi Technology sold its lithium battery business to New Era Group at a high price, and the proceeds were invested in the research and development of Tesla electric vehicles.
Such an arrangement is very reasonable!
The president of Nanfu Power is not Yuan Tianfan, but he is not qualified to attend the group's high-level meetings. Yuan Tianfan is the president in charge of the group's emerging industries, so Lin Zuhui naturally named him directly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuan Tianfan immediately said: "Everything is on the right track. At present, the group has invested a lot of money in Nanfu Power to develop battery technology and production, and strive to seize the global mobile phone market.
The battery market, as well as the research and development of lithium battery packs for electric vehicles..."
Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Lithium batteries and electric vehicles will be the future trend. So, should we start investing in lithium mines now?"
A group of senior executives discussed it one after another, but they were undoubtedly very supportive.
Yuan Tianfan said: "Lithium mine investment and iron ore investment are very worthy of investment. In addition, the group's cash flow is sufficient. It is very wise to make long-term investment at this time. In 1998, when the shipping industry was at a trough, the boss
When we talked about investing heavily in shipping, many people thought it was a 'loss-making business' at the time. After all, shipping had been sluggish for more than ten years. Facts have proved that since 2002, shipping has begun to recover, and now it can be considered a small explosion."
Morris said with a smile: "Shipping will continue to rise next year, and shipping stocks that were previously avoided by investors will become very popular stocks."
Chen Bin added: "Lithium mine investment and iron ore investment are very complex investment projects, which involve many non-commercial things, so I think New Era Group should establish 'Era Mining' to deal with this aspect.
invest."
Yuan Tianfan added: "Yes, it's not just that! Times Mining still gives priority to strategic investments in overseas mining companies rather than considering holding shares. After all, we have no mining experience and no strong government background. Of course, when it comes to lithium ore, Times
Mining has some advantages, that is, we are an upstream industrial chain."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Lin Zuhui agreed very much.
Especially when it comes to overseas mining, New Era Group must recognize itself clearly, focus on strategic equity investments, and first protect the price of lithium mines in the future. Although New Era Group’s procurement costs will increase, if it holds a large number of shares in lithium mining companies, it will
This will neutralize the cost price.
Of course, if you have the opportunity to acquire a mining company, you shouldn't miss it.
There are still about 15 years left before the explosion of lithium mines. With the funds and experience of New Era Group, we believe that we can lay out a very strong supply chain.
Lin Zuhui said: "Okay! Regarding the establishment of Times Mining, you must quickly establish it and report the progress of the work to me at any time. However, investing in mining is a big subject. If you are not prepared enough and start in a hurry, it may cause very large losses;
For example, project feasibility, environmental assessment, content and purity of ore veins, infrastructure, and cost budgets are all decisive factors for the success of ore companies. Therefore, you should understand what I mean, think carefully, work comprehensively, and form an experienced team.
The team is very important. New Era Group will invest a lot in this in the future, and I hope to see an excellent team."
He is not very familiar with lithium battery companies. He only knows that Chile and Australia have large reserves in this area.
"Yes, boss!" everyone replied seriously.
In fact, this task will fall into the hands of Chen Bin and Yuan Tianfan.
People like the president of Times Shipping, the president of Langham Hotel Group, and the presidents of first-tier subsidiaries such as New Era Real Estate, Hengchang Enterprises, Times Telecom Holdings, etc., come to such meetings purely to understand the company's trends, and of course they can also express their own opinions.
........
When Lin Zuhui arrived at Discovery Bay Golf Club, Zheng Yutong and other members of the Big D Club stood up to greet him.
Big D will have two leaders - Lin Zuhui and Zheng Yutong. However, Lin Zuhui often misses the gatherings of Big D, so he is called the "shadow leader" by the media. It is precisely because of Lin Zuhui as the "shadow leader" that this "communist"
"Rongquan" is famous in Xiangjiang, but it is also full of mystery.
"Who is this?" Lin Zuhui looked at a stranger and asked casually.
Lin Xiaowen, Li Chaoren's brother-in-law, quickly said: "Lin Sheng, this is Zhang Songqiao, a real estate businessman born in a mountain city..."
At this time, Zhang Songqiao acted very nervous and forgot to introduce himself.
Lin Zuhui suddenly realized: "I know, the real estate king of Southwest, haha!" After saying that, he took the initiative to reach out his hand.
Zhang Songqiao was flattered and quickly reached out his hand and responded: "Lin Sheng, thank you for the award. All I have done are small projects, in front of you!"
"There are no small projects, only big projects come from there. I've heard of you, the California Garden in Shancheng. It must have been done by you for more than ten years, which shows that you must be very powerful among mainland real estate developers.
I also came from the mainland, in the 1980s."
"I am also from Hong Kong for 80 years!"
"Really? It seems we are still destined!"
At this time, Zheng Yutong said with a smile: "Ah Chun, although it is not as big as Lin Sheng, the real estate industry in Xiangjiang and the mainland is developing very well."
At this time, Liu Luanxiong also said: "Achun is also the major shareholder of four listed companies in Xiangjiang. He knows how to use Xiangjiang's capital to develop in the mainland."
Lin Zuhui patted Zhang Songqiao on the shoulder and praised: "I didn't expect you to be a man who eats both Hong Kong and mainland China. You have a bright future!"
Zhang Songqiao felt light and airy at this moment. He was ranked at the bottom of the Big D Club, and the person in front of him had such a high status that it could be described as looking up at him. It was such an honor to be praised by him.
After being polite, Lin Zuhui said to everyone: "Let's go and have fun on my yacht!"
The group of people happily set off and drove towards the Discovery Bay Marina.
When they saw Lin Zuhui's "Chasing the Sun", Lin Jianyue, Lin Xiaowen, Zhuang Youjian, Zhang Songqiao and others were all shocked. They were at the bottom of the big D meeting, and they were usually just objects of subservience.
Although the Big D Association is a loose organization, it has also formed three levels: the first level: the two leaders Lin Zuhui and Zheng Yutong; the second level, Zheng Jiachun, Liu Luanxiong, He Zhuguo, Ying Huang, and Fang Jin; the third level,
Lin Jianyue, Lin Xiaowen, Zhuang Youjian, Zhang Songqiao, etc.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This level is roughly calculated based on wealth level. Of course, if you do a big business, you will invisibly rise to a level.
Lin Zuhui is the shadow leader of this organization, which means that he does not often attend the gatherings of this organization, but his status is still maintained.
Everyone boarded the yacht, sat in the spacious living room, enjoyed fine wine and snacks, and could also admire the blue sea and sky outside, which was very comfortable.
Of course, superyachts of this size are still toys for the world's richest people; even Hong Kong's richest people can only look at them, let alone the mainland's richest people.
During this period, Zheng Yutong said to Liu Luanxiong: "Don't always have trouble with girls and let the media catch them and write about it."
Everyone looked at Liu Luanxiong with a smile. This time Liu Luanxiong and the barrister were at loggerheads in the media. There was a lot of gossip from both sides about the 'proposal', 'little love letter', '100,000 bird's nests per month' and other incidents.
Things became more and more outrageous, and even involved Zheng Yutong. While saying, "Zheng Yutong proposed to Wang Jieyu on behalf of Liu Luanxiong," he also said, "There is no such thing, she has a background and backing."
In the end, Zheng Yutong and Da Liu almost had a problem!
In the end, Liu finally stopped and wanted to apologize to Zheng Yutong to end this farce.
"Uncle Tong is right!" Da Liu said sincerely.
Zheng Yutong's character was beyond words, and he rarely had conflicts with others when doing business. Lin Zuhui was even grateful to him back then, let alone Liu.
Lin Zuhui said: "Old Liu, your body rebound is a bit serious. You need to strengthen your exercise and maintenance."
Da Liu said unexpectedly: "Is the rebound huge?" After saying that, he looked at everyone.
Everyone nodded!
In this scolding battle, Wang Jieyu talked about Liu helping her lose weight, signing love letters, and the little fat man... It was quite entertaining.
Lin Zuhui reminded again: "It doesn't matter whether you are fat or thin. I think you need to pay more attention to your kidney function. This is not a joke. Also, you should focus more on making money. The market is good now, but maybe it will be bad in the future.
No matter how much you want to make money, you won’t be able to make any money anymore.”
His words were immediately listened to by others. After all, who is Lin Zuhui? Every word may be a wise saying.
Liu Luanxiong nodded and said, "I will pay more attention!" His words were quite sincere.
In the Big D meeting, Zheng Yutong was considered his supporter, while Lin Zuhui was purely motivated by prestige.
