Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 274 [Investing in Canada]

In the office of Evergrande Real Estate, Lin Rongheng received Amy Qi, the president of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Lin Qingxia and Jamie, an investment manager of the family office, were also there.

Probably after the oil crisis, Canadian bankers, provincial prime ministers, and trade officials visited Lin Rongheng frequently. The purpose was naturally very simple, that is, to hope that Lin Rongheng would invest; Evergrande Real Estate did not invest much in Canada, mainly because Lin Rongheng felt that The rate of return on real estate is not good, and the main investment is in Hong Kong.

Although the investment is not much, there are always contacts in Canada. With Lin Rongheng's current net worth, as long as he nods, Canadian officials will naturally warmly welcome him.

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is Li Chaoren's loyal partner, but in this life Li Chaoren has been suppressed by himself to be just a good real estate developer in Xiangjiang, losing a lot of high-quality property profits, as well as Hutchison Whampoa, Qingzhou Yingni, Hongkong Electric, etc. The company, Li Chaoren's strength at this time is not as good as Sun Hung Kai and New World, and is almost at the same level as Li Shauji.

Lin Rongheng introduced: "President Amy, this is one of my wives Brigitte Lin, this is my investment manager Jamie, and this is Mr. Amy, the president of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, who just came to Hong Kong for business this time."

After some introductions, everyone sat on the sofa.

Lin Rongheng said: "My wife has taken a fancy to two properties in Toronto and Vancouver, so I plan to borrow a sum of money from your bank!"

Amici readily agreed: "No problem, I have always suggested Mr. Lin to invest in our Canada, and we are willing to provide excellent cooperation conditions!"

Lin Rongheng nodded and motioned for investment manager Jamie to inform Amy Qi of the project.

Since I promised Brigitte Lin and Zhao Yazhi to reward them with [-] million Hong Kong dollars for giving birth to a son and daughter for me, I would naturally take it to heart.This time, Lin Rongheng asked the family office to investigate Canada and the United States, mainly investing in hotels and commercial buildings. First, there is a fixed asset, so that it can be considered a firm foothold.

And Brigitte Lin is Lin Rongheng's spokesperson in Canada, and Lin Rongheng also slept with her and let her immigrate to Canada.

Jamie said seriously: "We are looking at the Hilton Hotel in Toronto Harbor and the Westin Hotel in Vancouver, and have reached a preliminary agreement with the owner of the property, which requires a total of 5.5 million Hong Kong dollars. We plan to borrow from your bank 2 million Hong Kong dollars."

Not every hotel of the same brand is owned by the company. Many hotel brands own the management rights and local businessmen own the property rights; for example, the Hilton Hotel in Central is owned by Evergrande Real Estate under Lin Rongheng.

Amy Qi was very surprised because he knew that Brigitte Lin was not Lin Rongheng's legal wife at all, she was just a lover at best; for a lover, it cost 5.5 million Hong Kong dollars, no doubt this person's wealth was still underestimated by outsiders.

"If there is no problem with this loan, how about using these two properties as collateral with an annual interest of 9%!"

Lin Rongheng said with a smile: "I personally and my industry are planning to strengthen overseas investment. Canada is a place I am more optimistic about. I also hope to have more cooperation with your bank."

Amici was quite surprised in his heart, because this rich man in Hong Kong has been sought after by Canadian officials and bankers, but he was not very interested in overseas investment before, and it seems that he has changed his strategy.

"Then how about 8 points of interest!"

Easy to cut down a point, Lin Rongheng did not further bargain, but nodded, and said: "Our investment team is still looking for a suitable land in Toronto recently, and plans to build a commercial building. We hope to cooperate with your bank cooperate!"

Amy Qi said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem!"

Toronto and Hong Kong are worth a deal, and the land price is frighteningly cheap. The price in the same prosperous area is only one-tenth of Hong Kong's; of course, the land price is cheap, and the property price is naturally cheap.

The three properties are all for Lin Qingxia's long-term investment, which can be regarded as the beginning of Lin Rongheng's layout in Canada.

It was the first real cooperation with the Canadian Imperial Bank. Lin Rongheng did not throw out too many projects. Later, Lin Rongheng will buy about 5% of the bank's shares. When the time is right, the bank will match Husky Energy.

Husky Energy is of course Hutchison Whampoa as the main investor, but Canada stipulates that foreigners are not allowed to invest in the country's energy industry. That's why Lin Rongheng let Lin Qingxia immigrate to Canada. At that time, she only needs to hold about 9% of the shares, and Hutchison Whampoa holds the shares 43%, the deal can be reached.

In a villa in Repulse Bay.

Lin Rongheng discussed with Zhao Yazhi and Brigitte Lin in the living room on the second floor. The two girls are about to have their own properties. Although they are both hotel-based properties, it makes the two girls feel at ease.

Brigitte Lin happily kissed Lin Rongheng, and said: "With 5 million Hong Kong dollars, I easily invested 8 million Hong Kong dollars in an industry. You are my genius husband!"

Lin Rongheng said with a smile: "This is already a conservative investment. If it is in Hong Kong, 5 million Hong Kong dollars can be invested in a project worth 20 billion. But this is also good, and the investment is stable. The investment report of the Family Office analyzed that the two hotels each year It can have a profit of 3000 million Hong Kong dollars. It seems that it will take nearly 20 years to pay back the capital. In fact, this profit will increase quickly in the 80s, not to mention that the property is still its own. As for the commercial building, the total investment is about 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Long-term For rent purposes."

"Of course, the initial investment properties are the main ones, and I will continue to increase your investment projects in the future! The 5 million Hong Kong dollars is just a gift I gave you in the first stage, and various investment projects will be added one after another in the future. For you. You now have your own asset management company, and a family office to help you, so you only need to count the money and don’t have to worry about running things.”

The two women were very happy, holding Lin Rongheng's arms tightly.

Recently, Lin Rongheng's four wives got together at least two days a week, and on the surface they were at least harmonious; of course, before Lin Rongheng was in a wheelchair and lost his mind, no woman dared to fight for the family property, or no one Women dare to play tricks on themselves.

As for when I get old, I will naturally have a family office to assist in the excess of assets, and I believe that the tragedy of the wealthy family can be avoided to the greatest extent.Many ancient families in Europe and the United States are Lin Rongheng's role models for running a family.

At this time, although Brigitte Lin and Zhao Yazhi were still filming, they were actually much less.

For example, Zhao Yazhi has only filmed 5 episodes and 2 movies in total, but it is undoubtedly the kind that is so popular; it can be said that throughout the 80s and [-]s, Zhao Yazhi was the most popular actress in serial dramas.

As for Brigitte Lin's fame after she came to Hong Kong to develop, she is not as famous as she used to be in Taiwan. After all, she only shoots one or two movies a year; now she also wants to quit the film and television industry, and be a rich wife at ease.
