Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 280 [Gold Futures]

In September, Lin Rongheng participated in the foundation stone laying ceremony of Huaxia Cement (Hong Kong) Tuen Mun Factory in Tuen Mun, New Territories.

This cement plant was jointly organized by Lin Rongheng's family office, California Kaisha Cement, and Chinese-funded Qiaoguang Real Estate.

林荣亨家族办公室投资金额为10亿港币，占股40%；美国加州凯沙水泥投资金额为10亿港币，占股40%；中资侨光置业投资5亿港币，占股20%。

Originally, Lin Rongheng planned to let Qingzhou Yingni participate in this investment, but Qingzhou Yingni's strength was too weak, so he simply invested in the name of a family office.

The Tuen Mun Cement Factory covers an area of ​​180 million square feet, with a planned annual output of 140 million metric tons. The most advanced equipment in the United States is used to produce cement at a very low cost. Once it is put into operation, it will not only meet the demand in Hong Kong, but also be sufficient for export .

The privatization of Qingzhou Yingni by Evergrande Real Estate is a future trend. Qingzhou Yingni has a huge land reserve and can make a lot of profits in real estate in the future; It has 90 square feet and is close to the sea; Lin Rongheng plans to privatize Qingzhou Yingni. This land can be built into a large housing estate for high-end residential buildings, which is the former Harbor Plaza.

Qingzhou Ying Cement also has a large land reserve. After being merged into Evergrande Real Estate in the future, Lin Rongheng plans to move the cement business to the mainland, and the rest of the land can be used for real estate development.

Even the cement factory in Tuen Mun cannot escape the fate of being relocated to the interior in the future, and the land will be used for real estate development.

Huarenhang Building, Lin Family Office.

Lin Rongheng sat down with Peter, the CEO of the family office, and Martin Pell, the head of investment, to discuss investment matters.

Martin wanted Lin Rongheng to report on the investment progress in the United States and Japan, and Lin Rongheng expressed his satisfaction. It doesn't matter if the progress is slower. The important thing is not to cause too much public opinion.

For example, Jiaban has invested 300 billion Hong Kong dollars in Japan. The real estate is mainly concentrated in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, of which Tokyo accounts for the largest proportion. The entire real estate is expected to invest about 230 Hong Kong dollars, and the remaining 70 billion Hong Kong dollars will be invested in stocks.

300 billion Hong Kong dollars may seem like a lot, but in fact, it is not a problem to complete it within one to two years; with that amount of money, you can only buy 30 commercial buildings in Hong Kong.

Of course, at this time, Japan's real estate and securities have just started to rise, so Lin Rongheng set the investment time for more than one year.

After listening to the report, Lin Rongheng said: "The family office still has 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds that have nowhere to go. I plan to let the investment department short gold futures and leverage up to 80 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds."

Gold peaked at US$800 per ounce at the beginning of this year. After a brief peak, the President of the United States announced to suppress the price of gold. Then it fell to US$500 per ounce in March, and finally rose to the current US$660 per ounce. It can be described as repeated .

At this time, Lin Rongheng has confirmed that gold has reached the high point of nearly ten years, so he plans to make another fortune, at least wait until it falls to $400 an ounce before closing the position, which seems to be one or two years later.In this way, I can make a small profit of 50 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Martin Pell asked: "The boss doesn't keep cash flow?"

Lin Rongheng said with a smile: "No need, I can scrape together a lot of cash at any time!"

Martin nodded and stopped advising. In addition to owning a family office, the boss also owns a very large amount of high-quality assets, which can indeed be realized.

The rhythm of Xiaomi Electronics' listing is based on the acquisition of RCA by General Electric.

The reason is simple. Xiangjiang’s stock market is still rising. Xiaomi Electronics hopes to go public at the most suitable time (the more prosperous the market value, the higher the fundraising for the same shares), and then go to the United States to acquire RCA’s picture tube business and Taiwan after the fundraising is completed. Island Factory.

In September, General Electric’s acquisition of American Radio was still under discussion, and Moyock made a special call to avoid any accidents; in this incident, Xiaomi Electronics, Citigroup, and General Electric are all beneficiaries, but now only Citigroup is short RCA is already safe and secure.

Therefore, Moyock was also worried that Lin Rongheng thought that he did not do a good job and blamed him.

In Lin Rongheng's view, no matter whether the acquisition of General Electric is successful or not, RCA's picture tube business cannot escape his own acquisition; because the factory on Taiwan Island has been closed, which means that the factory cannot resume work, and the equipment can only placed in the factory.

Officials in Taiwan Island were very hesitant this time. After all, shutting down the factory would mean huge economic losses. However, the media acted like a monster, and even environmental protection organizations and media in the United States were also attacking, making it difficult for Taiwan Island officials to ride a tiger. , In the end, the RCA factory can only be temporarily shut down, and it is ready to discuss countermeasures.

General Electric didn't care so much, and used a lot of power to acquire RCA, and even alerted the FBI. It is said that RCA's senior management was suspected of bribing Taiwan officials, and launched an investigation into the "Foreign Bribery Act".General Electric's ruthless attack was also beyond Lin Rongheng's expectation.

Evergrande Real Estate.

Lin Rongheng and a group of high-level executives held a meeting to discuss how Evergrande Real Estate can use the cash flow in the account.

Evergrande Real Estate expects its net profit to be as high as 15 billion Hong Kong dollars this year. This does not include Hutchison Whampoa's net profit dividend, but only the net profit contributed by development properties and rental properties.This level of net profit, as far as Lin Rongheng knows, is about twice that of Cheung Kong and Sun Hung Kai in the same period in his previous life.

In fact, Evergrande Real Estate also has a non-recurring profit, which is the investment in Federal Building and International Building. At the beginning of the year, Evergrande Real Estate won it at a sky-high price of 11 billion Hong Kong dollars. Already worth 17 billion Hong Kong dollars.

However, Lin Rongheng did not let Evergrande Real Estate release rumors. He intends to sell the two buildings. He intends to wait until the end of the year to release the news to the market. At least it must be fired for more than 22 billion Hong Kong dollars. In his previous life, Li Chaoren was fired for 22.3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Hope to sell at this price.

If this transaction is completed at the beginning of next year, the net profit of Evergrande Real Estate may reach 30 billion Hong Kong dollars next year, which is 16 billion Hong Kong dollars higher than that of the previous Cheung Kong Group in the same period; It was Li Chaoren in his previous life who speculated on Federal Building and International Building together with Wheelock, and only received a net profit of 6 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the conference room, Lin Rongheng said: "Xiangjiang Real Estate is too prosperous now, and it is expected to reach saturation in another year. The company will suspend the acquisition of land and properties. After the market adjusts, or we digest some land reserves Make another plan."
