Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
October 5, 2007.
Friday.
In the office, Lin Zuhui was reading stocks on the computer.
Hong Kong people like to gamble, and wealthy people in Hong Kong also like to speculate in stocks and real estate, so stock trading is naturally a career.
The Hang Seng Index on the computer shows 30020 points and continues to rise sharply;
Lin Zuhui showed a satisfied smile, it was time for him to make arrangements.
Talking about the stock market this year, it can be said that it has been full of twists and turns:
From January to June, the Hong Kong stock market was booming, rising from more than 22,000 points to 26,000 points, higher than the forecast targets proposed by many well-known international investment banks. Just as the Hong Kong stock market continued to rise, the shadow of subprime mortgage loans in the United States quietly struck.
At the end of July, many large international investment funds sold Hong Kong stocks because they wanted to "inject capital" into their parent companies. Hong Kong stocks, which were struggling to rise, turned around. From the end of July to mid-August, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell by more than 4,000 points, and the market began to panic.
Sentiment has returned to below 22,000.
But in August, stimulated by a series of good news from the mainland, the market sentiment in the Hong Kong stock market turned bullish again. On August 20, the Hang Seng Index soared 1,208 points, the third largest single-day increase in the history of the Hong Kong stock market at that time. The daily trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market
The amount quickly expanded to HK$112 billion.
By the end of September, the Hang Seng Index had exceeded 30,000 points, which is equivalent to a surge of 8,000 points in one and a half months. It is really an exaggeration.
Now in October, the market is still in a crazy state, and it is expected to rise to more than 35,000 points this month. This is Lin Zuhui's guess.
What a final madness!
Lin Zuhui couldn't help but sigh because the increase was so fast. Starting from 22,000 points in mid-August, it has risen by a full 8,000 points on October 5. As a result, the securities he invested in have not yet begun to be sold.
Thinking of this, he started to dial the phone.
Soon, Wang Lingyin came to his office, with a bright smile on her face, and she went straight to Lin Zuhui's desk.
When he saw the stocks on the computer, Wang Lingyin said with a smile: "Brother Hui is looking at the stocks again. It's so easy for you to be the chairman!" After saying that, he looked at his husband with a joking expression.
Lin Zuhui admired the 39-year-old Wang Lingyin's very formal ladies' suit. Although it was relatively conservative, it still couldn't stop her sexy figure. There seemed to be something coming out of the white shirt inside the suit, and even a man couldn't help but swallow his saliva;
Although the trousers look loose, the hem still outlines the attractive curves of the trousers.
With a perfect and hot figure and an elegant and intellectual face, she is truly a combination of devil and angel. This is the perfect woman who can work both in the hall and in the kitchen.
The important thing is that she still maintains the state of being in her mid-twenties, which is a very real state. Lin Zuhui will check the real skin conditions of these women when taking a shower, and the results are generally that they remain 10 to 15 years younger.
state.
Lin Zuhui looked at Wang Lingyin's ankles, between the high heels and long trousers, revealing the temptation of black stockings; he was so moved that he lifted up Wang Lingyin's trousers, only to see the stockings reaching high.
After he let go, Wang Lingyin sat in his arms and put her hands around his neck.
Then, she said in a gentle and provocative tone: "I know you like it, so I have developed a habit of always wearing one underneath."
"good habits!"
While Lin Zuhui was praising, he looked at Wang Lingyin's white shirt, transformed into 'Miao Renfeng', and explored the lace inside.
Wang Lingyin turned slightly sideways and showed herself generously.
She is very conservative. Although she has a hot figure, she likes to wear loose clothes, but she will always show her best in front of her man.
After admiring it for a while, Lin Zuhui returned to normal. He was not a demon of lust. Otherwise, with his wealth, appearance, and charm, he would be more playful than Zhao Shizeng, Liu Luanxiong and others.
Following Wang Lingyin's first sentence, he said: "As the chairman of the board, I have always been very relaxed. It's not like you don't know that."
The most important thing for the person at the helm of an enterprise is not to do things personally, but to check the direction.
However, people like Buffett and Li Chaoren need to read a large number of financial reports, investigation reports, etc. to analyze which industry can be invested and which company is worth investing in.
Lin Zuhui, on the other hand, does not need to bother so much because he has the most correct investment direction in his mind; of course, he will also read investigation reports, etc., but his brain is extremely developed, so he is extremely efficient.
In short, Lin Zuhui is indeed very 'idle'.
Wang Lingyin said with admiration: "That's because my husband is smart and his efficiency is several times that of others!"
"That makes sense! I'll reward you with one!"
"Wow...thank you husband for the reward."
After some joking, Lin Zuhui asked Wang Lingyin to get off him, and then asked her to lean on the desk.
Wang Lingyin crossed her legs and leaned on the desk, holding a beautiful professional woman in front of her.
"Brother Hui, Wenjie said that he does not plan to study for a master's degree and plans to find a job in the United States next year. He also said that starting from next year (2008), he will not need a penny from his family."
Lin Zuhui smiled and leaned on the chair and said: "Before college, we gave him living expenses, so we have to stop giving him money next July. As for him not studying for a master's degree, I have no objection and respect his idea."
Wang Lingyin nodded and said, "Well, I'll call him later."
All the sons of Lin Zuhui have not had any luxury goods since they were young, let alone luxury cars, mansions, luxury watches, etc. to show off to them; this is a family rule and no one can violate it.
Of course, Lin Zuhui will not be too harsh. The tuition fees and living expenses for their studies are all based on the standards of wealthy families, so they will not appear too shabby. It is also impossible to say that they will be allowed to work and earn money until they are eighteen years old.
Tuition fees are not so strict. After all, studying is the most important thing.
Then, Wang Lingyin said: "Wenjie also told me that he used his savings to buy a second-hand car for only 2,000 US dollars!"
Lin Zuhui asked curiously: "Are you in love?"
He, the eldest son, has been well-behaved since he was a child, and is very smart, quite like his father (the IQ of the protagonist after cheating). Lin Zuhui used to be quite worried that Lin Wenjie would become the eldest son of Li Chaoren - more than enough in defense, but not enough in offense.
, later I discovered that Lin Wenjie was very assertive in doing things and had the demeanor of a general.
It's perfect. If Lin Zuhui didn't cheat, he would be a scumbag in front of him.
Because of this, Lin Zuhui already has a complete plan to hand over New Era Group to Lin Wenjie.
Wang Lingyin nodded and said, "He said he just dated a Harvard sophomore who is one month younger than him."
"Chinese, right?"
It has to be Chinese, not foreigners, and he doesn't want half-bloods.
"It's from Hong Kong, but I didn't ask the girl what her parents do."
Lin Zuhui said: "Then it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether the other person's parents are rich or poor. If a girl can get into Harvard, she must be better. I won't care about this matter. He will make his own decision."
Wang Lingyin suddenly said playfully: "Aren't you worried that Wenjie is the kind of person who says, 'Like father, like son'?"
Lin Zuhui immediately realized that Wang Lingyin was saying that he was a playboy.
He pulled Wang Lingyin into his arms again, and after punishing her, he pushed her to the desk.
"A son is better than a father. Wenjie is not that kind of person! Of course, if he is really like that, I will not underestimate him. As long as he meets three conditions, that's it!"
"Those three conditions?"
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "First, get married at the age of twenty-five and have children; second, you can't get divorced and make a family scandal; third, you can't make trouble outside, causing chickens and dogs to be restless."
Wang Lingyin laughed and said: "He has a beautiful idea! He'd better be self-aware, otherwise I won't destroy him." After saying that, a trace of frost appeared on his face, and he looked like a stern mother.
"I can do it, why can't he?" Lin Zuhui continued to ask with a smile.
Wang Lingyin blushed, then leaned into Lin Zuhui's ear and whispered: "Because my husband is a superman!"
Wang Lingyin knew a little about Lin Zuhui's strength, memory, and endurance, and these Lin Zuhui's children only inherited a little IQ at most. Even their IQ was only partially inherited, and they were far inferior to their photographic memory and superior memory.
ability.
"Ha ha"
Lin Zuhui laughed and did not continue the topic.
"By the way, hubby, after Wenjie started working, how many years will he return to the company?" Wang Lingyin was very concerned about her son's career. Of course, it was Lin Wenjie who was very upbeat and gave her the confidence.
Lin Zuhui said directly: "After two years, if he has achieved some achievements in the United States, he will directly return to the middle level of New Era Group; if he performs well, he can serve as the group president in five years and succeed Chen Bin."
Although the 27-year-old CEO of a "trillion-dollar enterprise" is a bit exaggerated, it is still far behind Lin Zuhui's 29-year-old title of the world's richest man.
He and Wang Lingyin have three sons. The eldest son Lin Wenjie takes over the 'New Era Group', the second son Lin Wentao takes over the 'Octopus Financial Group', and the third son Lin Wenhua takes over the 'Media Group'.
As for the LEIT Group, the successor will be selected from the concubine's children, or it will be a professional manager model.
"Is it growing too fast?" Wang Lingyin asked worriedly.
Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said: "It's just my idea, because Chen Bin is 58 years old this year. If he retires at 65, Wenjie will take over. Of course, you must not talk to him about these things, so as not to put pressure on him.
We must have confidence in him, but we must not interfere too much."
"Well, I know!"
Liang Zhenxun and Yuan Tianfan are both 52 years old. If they retire at the age of 65, they will be equivalent to serving as 'grand tutors' for two years. Generally speaking, succession is not a problem, not to mention that Lin Zuhui is behind them.
In fact, Chen Bin, Liang Zhenxun, and Yuan Tianfan have already achieved wealth freedom with a net worth of several billion Hong Kong dollars. But as the saying goes, there is a beginning and an end, so they naturally plan to retire normally, unless Lin Zuhui has other arrangements.
Of course, New Era Group is full of talents, and there are people who can fill their positions at any time, but it is obvious that Lin Zuhui still likes to use old people.
Therefore, the management of New Era Group can only climb to a position below the third carriage at most, which is of course very good.
"By the way, hubby, why did you ask me to come to the office?" Wang Lingyin suddenly thought.
I’ve been thinking about tuning the piano for a long time, but I haven’t even gotten down to business yet!
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "What is the market value of the securities invested by Hengjin Real Estate?"
Wang Lingyin immediately said clearly: "As of today, there must be 92 billion Hong Kong dollars!"
The main assets of Hengjin Real Estate Investment are rent-collecting properties in Xiangjiang and investment securities; the securities mainly invest in MTR, Hong Kong Stock Exchange, H shares, and red chips. In recent years, H shares and red chips have increased several times.
, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange also increased sixfold.
"You should arrange that all these stocks should be cashed out within 4 months. The method of cashing out is to average about the same number of holdings cashed out on each trading day to avoid excessive impact."
"Yes, I remember clearly."
"I will also make arrangements for the family office. The market value there is over 250 billion, so I'm afraid it will take five months."
Wang Lingyin said: "So long? Now that the market's daily trading volume has expanded to 120 billion, we shouldn't be so cautious, right?"
Lin Zuhui said: "It doesn't matter. It's best to go slow. It won't drop much in a while. The company still has almost 45 billion in securities investments. The reduction of these stocks needs to be announced, so it will be officially reduced in about four months."
.”
The securities invested by New Era Group are all H shares and internal subscriptions of red chip stocks. The reduction of holdings requires an announcement.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For example, Li Chaoren has issued no less than ten announcements to reduce his holdings this year.
But Lin Zuhui is different. His name as the "Stock God" is too loud, so once New Era Group issues a shareholding reduction announcement, it may have a huge impact on the market, although it is only a mere 45 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Therefore, New Era Group will officially reduce its holdings only after the Hong Kong stocks of "Lin Zuhui Family Office" and "Hengjin Real Estate Investment" are almost cashed out.
As for the peak of this wave by the end of October, it should be affected by the "subprime mortgage crisis" and start to decline; however, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis should not be as great as the impact of the "Lehman bankruptcy", so as of August next year, it will not
The big drop may be around 25,000 points.
In short, personal funds are the most important, followed by New Era Group.
"Hmm. Husband, I found that you have the temperament to point out the world..." Wang Lingyin was flattering.
"It's a reward! Let's go to the Four Seasons Hotel for dinner today at noon!"
Wang Lingyin immediately said happily: "Thank you Lord for your kindness!"
It’s not just about eating, you also have to book a room. Of course, the Four Seasons Hotel has Lin Zuhui’s exclusive suite.
........
After Wang Lingyin left, Lin Zuhui made another call.
After a while, CEO Chen Bin also came to Lin Zuhui's office.
"Remember your work schedule!"
"Okay, boss."
Lin Zuhui continued: "First, suspend the purchase/auction of land in Xiangjiang, the mainland, and luxury land in Xiangjiang. You can consider it, but the price must be reasonable; suspend new plans for European and American hotel projects, and temporarily transfer hotel business to Asia, but you must also start to be cautious."
Langham Hotel Group slowed down its pace as early as 2004, and only opened about two or three Ritz and Langham five-star hotels a year. Overall, Lin Zuhui plans to open Ritz-Carlton hotels around the world.
We will reach 100 five-star hotels, and Langham Hotel will reach 50 five-star hotels. This goal will be reached soon. Of course, we can still open more in the future, everything will be based on the actual situation.
"Second, please inform Times Shipping to sell aircraft and ship leasing assets in batches within 8 months. I will always pay attention to the progress. Ships of shipping companies can also be appropriately reduced. If there is demand, they would rather lease them short-term.
.”
"Third, within 10 months, sell as many properties as possible; and take out some small rental properties with poor rent collection for sale. However, be sure not to be high-profile and make too much noise."
Chen Bin nodded and said, "I understand!"
I'm worried that Chen Bin still doesn't understand.
Lin Zuhui emphasized: "There is a problem with European and American subprime mortgages. I am worried about causing a financial crisis, so the focus is on the sale of European and American assets, as well as ships and aircraft leasing businesses. As for real estate in Hong Kong and the Mainland, I believe that even if it has an impact, it will not be
The drop is too big. So don’t panic too much to avoid causing tension in the market in Xiangjiang. Especially since we are the boss of a company in Xiangjiang, we don’t know how many people are watching us, so be careful.”
Chen Bin felt relieved and said seriously: "I understand what you mean!"
"Well, I'll keep an eye on the progress!"
For example, if Times Shipping sells ships and aircraft, it is impossible to sell them all. After all, Times Shipping still needs to operate.
The main thing for sale is actually the leasing business of ships and aircraft;
Of course, shipping companies also need to appropriately reduce ship assets, and would rather rent short-term ones if they have business.
........
At noon, Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin came to the 'Long King Xuan' on the 4th floor of the Four Seasons Hotel for dinner, and they chose a seat by the window.
Last year (2006), Lung King Xuan was rated as the first Chinese restaurant in the world to have three stars, along with the French restaurant Caprice at the Four Seasons Hotel.
Therefore, Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong is currently the only five-star hotel in the world with two ‘Tire Stars’.
These two businesses are currently very popular, and in theory, reservations need to be made at least one week in advance;
Obviously, as the owner, Lin Zuhui can use the hotel's prepared space.
No matter what happens, he can still go to his own exclusive presidential suite to dine.
"Abalone and chicken crisps... Stir-fried lobster balls with Beijing onion... Let's have a snack... OK!"
"Okay, Lin Sheng."
Finished ordering.
Wang Lingyin looked at the scenery outside the window and said intoxicatedly: "Husband, the restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel and Langting Seaview Hotel (formerly the Regent Hotel) is really nice to enjoy the food while looking at the scenery."
Lam Cho-fai said casually: "The new era sea view and conference hotel in Tsuen Wan, Cyberport...you forgot to mention. Also, the upcoming Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Kowloon (above Kowloon Station - Hong Kong International Commerce Center
)......"
When talking about his properties or hotels, Lin Zuhui is always very elegant.
Wang Lingyin said with a smile: "Well, there are so many hotels, there is no time to enjoy them."
"It's really too late. We have hundreds of five-star hotels around the world, and I can't even stay in every one of them for one night."
The world's largest Hilton Hotel is Lin Zuhui's property, at least for now; and the three major luxury hotels under the Langham Group - Atlantis Hotel, Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and Langham Hotel, the number has exceeded 120
; These are not counting the Four Seasons Hotel.
Wang Lingyin covered her mouth and laughed. She knew that her man also liked real estate, and 90% of the properties under Langting Group were self-owned properties.
The two chatted quietly in the restaurant and had a very comfortable meal.
After finishing the meal, which took more than an hour, Lin Zuhui was in high spirits and took Wang Lingyin to the exclusive hotel suite.
The moment the door closed, Wang Lingyin's heartbeat began to accelerate, with an expression of anticipation.
Lin Zuhui admired her graceful figure. It seemed that both of them had to miss work for two or three hours in the afternoon.
When Wang Lingyin unbuttoned her trousers, the whole scene was very tempting. Lin Zuhui pulled her to the floor-to-ceiling window; the sunlight passed through the glass and curtains, transmitting a gentle light into the room, but the room was very hot.
