Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 186 [Hotel Brand] (Monthly ticket plus update!)
The next day, the weekend.

The news of Lin Zuhui's interview spread in Xiangjiang and immediately aroused heated discussions.

"Lin Sheng is really humble. If I were his age and achieved such success, I'm afraid even Li Chaoren and the charter king would look down on him!"

"Work hard, wait for the opportunity, seize the opportunity and wait for luck! Classic, starting from tomorrow, I will work hard to make money and save money. When the opportunity comes in the future, I will have the capital to catch it and become rich."

"Long-term investment in big hotels, so there won't be a fierce acquisition battle?"

"Lin Sheng respected the Kadoorie family very much, and he didn't make excessive demands, nor was he arrogant."

For a time, Lin Zuhui's "reputation" was spreading in the small Xiangjiang River.

Kadoorie family.

The three Kadoories were also lost in thought, wondering if Lin Zuhui really didn't have the idea of ​​controlling the hotel.

Mi Gao said: "Why don't we work together with Lin Zuhui just like the Liang family!" But because he had met Lin Zuhui once, he had a good impression in his heart and believed Lin Zuhui's 'sweet words'.

"No! Confused, the Liang family is at most a dog, but Lin Zuhui is a wolf and a tiger. How can we work with him at ease? It is easy to drive away a dog, but it is so difficult to drive away a wolf or a tiger! So , we can not buy stocks in the market for the time being, after all, we will not be able to provide funds for a while, but we must not let Cathay City enter the board of directors!" Lawrence warned his son.

"Yes, father!" Mi Gao said helplessly.

In fact, Mi Gao has been devastated for the past two days. The family's funds have been diverted to invest in electricity, and there is not much money to mobilize at all!If the family had sufficient liquidity, they would not have reduced the stake in the hotel (the maximum was more than 20%) to invest in electricity.

As for bank loans, the Kadoorie family has also borrowed a lot for electricity, and they will not be able to raise funds for a while, so it will take a certain amount of preparation time.

Soon, the Kadoorie family decided not to borrow large sums of money, but to purchase individual stocks from the market; instead, they only used the family's liquidity to conduct small-scale purchases.After all, if you make a big move, the stock price will rise, and the cost will be unacceptably high.

In fact, what they don't know is that this is Lin Zuhui's strategy to make the enemy relax their vigilance, preventing the Kadoorie family from buying shares in the big hotel from the market at a low price.

Once the stock price of the big hotel soars, if the Kadoorie family continues to buy, it will consume a lot of money; whether to buy or not to buy, it is very beneficial to Lin Zuhui.

The Jews are indeed very good at doing business, but the Chinese businessmen are not weak, and the IQ and strategies of the Chinese are even better.

Monday.

Lin Zuhui came to the office of Cathay Pacific City. At present, Cathay City is also a headache for Lin Zuhui. The debt is as high as 20 billion, and the annual interest is 2 million.

At present, Cathay Pacific City is divided into four parts of assets: Furama Hotel, Grand Hotel, rental property (worth 9 million), and 3 million blue chip stocks invested ([-] million deposit).

The annual profit is extremely unstable. Both Furama Hotel and Grand Hotel are listed companies, and the annual dividends need to be determined by the board of directors; especially for the Grand Hotel, Cathay City does not even have access to the board of directors.

The reason why the six syndicates were willing to take out the loan last time was nothing more than the joint guarantee of Lin Zuhui and New Times Real Estate, and promised to mortgage this part of the shares in the hands of the six banks after acquiring the 31% stake in the hotel, and release Lin Zuhui's personal guarantee relation.

The six syndicates even checked Cathay City’s finances to the bottom. When they learned that Cathay City had invested [-] million in blue-chip stocks, they all recorded it; that is to say, if the stock market went wrong, the six syndicates might force Cathay City to repay the debt in advance.

After a while, Lu Donglai, the general manager of Cathay City, came to Lin Zuhui's office.

"The shares of the big hotel are growing rapidly, and we have already started to scan the market. Last week, we bought 1000 million worth of shares in the big hotel, with an average price of 54 yuan!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. Cathay Pacific City originally had 5000 million yuan in liquidity in its account. He directly asked the securities company to provide leverage, and directly enlarged it to 1.5 million yuan to scan the market.

"There is no need to worry about the securities market, we just need to be aggressive. In just one month, the price of the big hotel will rise to a sky-high price of 80 yuan. And the Kadoorie family wants to increase their holdings in the market, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream! "

At this time, Kadoorie's shareholding should be as small as possible, so that the voting rights at the general meeting of shareholders will be reduced.

You know, Lin Zuhui predicted that the voting rights of both parties at the shareholders meeting should be very close;
Therefore, every reduction in the Kadoorie family's voting power is very important.

The current Kadoorie family is like a tiger without teeth and claws, which is suitable for training.

Lu Donglai continued: "Then do I need to make an appointment with Michael Kadoorie for you? As usual, we send three directors!"

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry, we'll talk about it next week! We'll still focus on other things. The big hotel needs to be done step by step. Don't be in a hurry!"

Lu Donglai nodded, and reported again: "Furama Hotel's finances have been audited, and the maximum dividend this year can be 3000 million."

Lin Zuhui said without hesitation: "Then divide the dividends according to this number!"

We can't leave too much money to Fulihua's management, so as not to give them too much power; without money, they can't make waves.Moreover, the Furama Hotel will be renovated in two years, so there is no need to invest too much now, as long as the status quo is maintained.

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

After Lu Donglai left, Lin Zuhui leaned back on the chair.

At this time, he seemed to understand the choice of the Kadoorie family, which was to prevent Lin Zuhui from joining the board of directors, so Lin Zuhui could only focus on the shareholders meeting in May.

Of course, the public opinion work that should be done should not be lost, and you should express your goodwill in the media regularly to win the approval of investors.Not only that, but also had to talk to some Chinese shareholders of the big hotel, promote themselves, and strive for everyone's support.

If he wants to get the support of shareholders, Lin Zuhui must not show that he will split the hotel and real estate business of the big hotel, otherwise he will definitely be cast aside by shareholders.

If he really became the chairman of the board of directors of the big hotel, then sooner or later he would still have to split the business of the big hotel and real estate.After all, after the former Kadoorie family held onto the hotel for the first time, they hastily split off the hotel and real estate business of the hotel.

Their idea is to keep the hotel business first, and the real estate business can be secondary.

"I believe that with my own performance, I will be able to impress many Chinese shareholders!"

"The Kadoorie family! I wanted to express my goodwill. Since you are determined to fight against me, I have no choice but to take this property."

In fact, Lin Zuhui has already made up his mind that he must win the Peninsula Hotel.

In the previous life, the brand of Mandarin Oriental Hotel was well-known all over the world, but the Peninsula Hotel has always been complacent. This is something Lin Zuhui can't get used to.

He will not lack money in the future, but he will lack a hotel brand with cultural heritage and history; so once Lin Zuhui gets the Peninsula Hotel brand, he will be able to open 20 to 30 five-star Peninsula hotels around the world in the future, all of which are his own. some.

At the same time, it can also authorize the management of 'Peninsula Hotel' and franchise dozens of companies, making this brand a world-renowned brand such as 'Hilton' and 'Sheraton'.
