Hong Kong's new giants

Wednesday, August 1990, 8.

Peregrine announced that 72.24% of the shareholders of Hengchang Enterprises have accepted the acquisition, which has been successful.

Lin Zuhui came to HSBC to discuss the acquisition of Hengchang corporate loans.Unlike other consortiums, Lin Zuhui talks about acquisitions first, and then loans.

Because he didn't want to leak the news at the beginning, and the cash flow of the New Times Group was more than [-] billion, not to mention Lin Zuhui's personal funds.

When it comes to large loans, it is natural to go directly to HSBC boss Pu Weiss, not to mention that Lin Zuhui has been dispatched.

Lin Zuhui was warmly received when he came to Pu Weishi's office. He has always been the banker's welcome target.Coupled with the fact that the company has now become a comprehensive giant, the prospect can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Zuhui said, "I came to HSBC this time to get a loan of 30 billion yuan!"

Pu Weishi nodded and said, "I probably guessed it. There is no problem with this loan. But I'm curious. Doesn't New Times Group plan to spin off Hengchang Enterprises?"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "There is no need to split Hengchang Enterprise. After I acquire it, I will actively rely on Hengchang Enterprise to develop comprehensive projects and make this company another flagship subsidiary of New Times Group."

New Times Group now has four real trump companies: New Times Real Estate/Construction, Chinese Real Estate, New Times Hotel, and Hengchang Enterprises.

Pu Weishi must admire the young Lin Zuhui. In the past two months, this man has had a lot of influence in Hong Kong. He proposed that "Hong Kong culture revitalize Hong Kong" has created a lot of influence in Hong Kong. Even the Legislative Council is considering introducing Support Policies.

Not to mention, how many major projects New Times Group has launched in the past two years, and its influence in the Hong Kong business community is increasing day by day.

Prowess nodded and said, "As far as we know, the New Era Group has sufficient cash in its accounts, and almost no loans are needed! Just a little splitting of some assets can relieve the financial pressure of the New Era Group."

New Era Group has 120 billion in debt, of which HSBC is the largest creditor, accounting for almost one-third.Therefore, it is reasonable for HSBC to understand the capital situation of New Era Group.

Lin Zuhui said: "New Times Group will have a lot of investment activities in the future, so it plans to hang the debt on Hengchang Enterprises, so that it will not affect the next business activities."

Powell sighed secretly for Lin Zuhui's pioneering spirit, but HSBC also likes to invest in such Chinese businessmen, which is in line with its own interests.

"Okay, I agree to this loan, and I can withdraw it anytime!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Thank you!" He suddenly remembered something, and immediately said, "If HSBC has any real estate projects, I would like to consider our New Times Group. We are also very sincere!"

As an old British-owned company, it naturally has rich properties that can be used for reconstruction. For example, HSBC Bank is located at the old site of the staff quarters at No. 30 Pokfield Road, Hong Kong. It can rebuild two [-]-storey residential buildings with a total area of ​​up to [-]. more than square feet.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small!
Pu Weishi nodded and said, "If there is something we can cooperate with, we will seriously consider it!"

Lin Zuhui finished his point and didn't say anything else.

The reason why he said this is that he lamented that the land in Xiangjiang is decreasing day by day, and it is a little bit more to develop.

On Thursday, Peregrine announced that 99.8% of the shareholders of Hengchang Enterprises had accepted the acquisition, and the acquisition was completed.

Although the largest asset transaction in the history of Xiangjiang has been completed, the citizens of Xiangjiang are obviously not in the mood to pay attention. The Hang Seng Index has fallen to 3020 points in just five or six trading calendars, and a rapid downward trend has occurred, and stockholders are crying out. .

In the office, Lin Zuhui just paid attention to the stocks, and then began to think seriously.

He has always felt that the New Era Group has many subsidiaries and is not easy to manage.

After the acquisition of Hengchang Enterprises, he wanted to position Hengchang Enterprises as 'Hutchison Whampoa';
The only difference is that Hengchang Enterprise is a non-listed company.

Commit communications, retail, ports, and medicine to Hengchang (holding);
New Era Group——New Era Real Estate/Construction, New Era Hotel, Chinese Real Estate, Hengchang Holdings, New Era Group (Hua Xia).

The investment in real estate and infrastructure in the mainland is also separately separated, and they will be split and listed in the future to cash out.

Thinking of this, Lin Zuhui nodded, that's almost it!

In the future, Lu Donglai will be in charge of New Era Group (Huaxia), and Yuan Tianfan will be in charge of Hengchang Holdings.

Lin Zuhui was sitting in the spacious office, and that alone could make him feel very good.He has two life trajectories, which are often used as comparisons, so he is actually very easy to be satisfied.

The reason why his career can continue to advance by leaps and bounds is that his memory is pushing him to do it, not his subjective desire to do it.For example, his memory of 'Iraq's invasion of Kuwait' would cause oil to rise, which led him to have to trade crude oil futures.

Now he has actually become an unfamiliar business concept.But in his previous life, he was "knowledgeable and talented", and he knew a little bit about everything (what he saw and heard at a half-baked level in his previous life), so he has been doing all kinds of business.

Not to mention, once you have money and wealth, you feel that you have a very good chance of winning if you know a little bit about it.Anyway, there are plenty of talents working for you, as long as your direction is right, success is still very sure.

Hengchang Holdings really has a lot of projects to invest in, otherwise how can it be comparable to the world's top [-] 'Hutchison Whampoa'!

Sunday, January 1990, 8.

On the Great Wall of the capital, two guests who came all the way from Xiangjiang welcomed Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin.Of course, there are many staff behind them, mainly the staff of the 'Lin Zuhui Foundation' and the capital.

Both Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin were in a good mood, standing on the Great Wall from time to time overlooking the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, especially Lin Zuhui's mood added a bit of heroism.

If he didn't care about his status, he would still want to shout a few words.

This time, Lin Zuhui and his wife Wang Lingyin came to the capital purely for charity. Wang Lingyin is the wife he is currently marrying, and also the vice president and actual manager of the Lin Zuhui Foundation.

Of course, the direction of the donation is mainly Lin Zuhui's opinion, and Wang Lingyin can also have the right to use part of the funds.

Since its establishment one year ago, the Lin Zuhui Foundation has donated 2 million Hong Kong dollars, of which Hong Kong has donated 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars (the University of Science and Technology has donated 1 million Hong Kong dollars in batches), and Shunde County in the Mainland has donated 0.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

This time in Beijing, the Lin Zuhui Foundation intends to donate 1 million to Huaqing University and 1 million to Beijing University, so the capital side pays more attention to his visit, and even arranges staff to be guides for climbing the Great Wall.

To be honest, donation is certainly a good thing, but Lin Zuhui may not be careless.

As [-] is approaching, he needs to make more connections to lay the foundation for future investments.

If it weren't for Lin Zuhui's media and communication companies, his relationship in the mainland would be far inferior to that of Li Chaoren, who has already donated 5 million to Shantou University.

However, the capital for this struggle still needs to be won, so the 'Lin Zuhui Foundation' will make a large amount of donations in the past two years, conservatively not less than 5 million, mainly for the education of the motherland.During the period, many cooperation agreements will be reached to get more insurance.

"Brother Hui, the Great Wall is really majestic and the scenery is so beautiful!" Wang Lingyin said excitedly.

Lin Zuhui took her hand, pointed to the north and said: "In ancient times, this place was a barrier against alien races. When the Great Wall was built, many people dreamed of breaking the place under our feet. People from overseas came to our Chinese capital. The Great Wall is a must. of!"

Regarding the understanding of the Great Wall, Lin Zuhui certainly knows more than Wang Lingyin, a "native" of Xiangjiang. He is a serious person who grew up in the mainland.

Lin Zuhui looked at the beautiful Wang Lingyin and said, "Do you like the mainland?"

Wang Lingyin nodded and said, "Yes, I like it!"

Seventy percent of her liking is because Lin Zuhui is from Hong Kong from the mainland.

Lin Zuhui is the representative of Hong Kong's new immigrants, none of them. He is the absolute idol of nearly a million new immigrants in Hong Kong.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Then come and walk with me more!"

"Um"

The two talked and laughed, and the staff also chatted with each other without being overly restrained.

During the period, Wang Lingyin would always share some imported candies with some mainland children on the Great Wall and chat with them.

Of course, the families of children who can climb the Great Wall in this era are hardly simple.

The next day, when Lin Zuhui and his party arrived at Huaqing University, they were immediately infected by the enthusiasm of the school.

Lin Zuhui is also hesitating whether the donation should be named or not!

Li Chaoren donated a lot in his previous life, but he never named it.

You know, the schools that Li Chaoren donated overseas are all named after them.

Only in the mainland, he didn't name any of them.Shantou University has donated billions of dollars, even if it is not named "Li Chaoren University", at least there must be a building called Li Chaoren Building or something.In fact, many people suggested calling Li Chaoren a hall and a Li Chaoren building, but Li Chaoren rejected them all.

Li Chaoren's donation in the mainland is actually several times that of Shao Liushu.

After thinking about it, Lin Zuhui thinks it's better to name him, and it can be regarded as an encouragement for himself to work hard for charity.

Walking into Huaqing University, the principal led the teachers and students to warmly welcome Lin Zuhui and his party.

Lin Zuhui hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare to be ashamed. Everyone in Huaqing Garden is a pillar of our country. Please, the principal, don't make too much of a fight today. I think I can't bear it!"

The principal was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and said, "Then let's show Mr. Lin a tour of the Huaqing Garden, and we will give a brief speech to our teachers and students in the auditorium later!"

Lin Zuhui immediately said happily: "It is my honor to visit Huaqing University!"

Next, the students were removed, and Lin Zuhui, his wife and several school leaders browsed around the school.

Although Huaqing University received a lot of donations from the society at this time, they were by no means like the hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions in later generations.

Lin Zuhui likes to donate to science universities, but the reason why Beijing University also donated [-] million, but there is a requirement to donate to the medical school, which is a special fund.

He had never been to Huaqing University in his previous life, so Lin Zuhui listened carefully to everyone's introduction along the way, with great interest, and occasionally lamented the history of Huaqing University.

At 10:[-] in the morning, Lin Zuhui came to the auditorium, and there were hundreds of teachers and students sitting under the stage.

The first is the speech of the school leaders, followed by Lin Zuhui's speech, and finally the donation ceremony.

When it came time for Lin Zuhui to give a speech, his assistant Li Ke took a bunch of props, such as mobile phones, laptops, etc., and put them on the stage.

His speech was actually very simple. After an introduction, he picked up the mobile phone and said, "This is called a mobile phone, and it is called a mobile phone in local dialect. People will gradually get used to calling him a mobile phone. It is worth 3 yuan now, a high-income salary in our country. It’s only about 300, don’t you think it’s expensive!”

All the teachers and students nodded in cooperation, it should be!
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "But I boldly predict that such mobile phones will follow 'Moore's Law', and amazing changes will occur every 18 months. It will become more convenient to carry, and the signal will become better. It will become more powerful. Cheap, I boldly predict that in five or ten years, there will be tens of millions of people in China, or even hundreds of millions of people using mobile phones. The price of a mobile phone is the monthly salary of ordinary people. We can use mobile phones to communicate with people from far away. It is very convenient for family and friends to chat.”

"There is also this computer. Many foreign countries have already connected to NSFNET, and Xiangjiang in our country will also be connected next year. Computers will also develop very fast, and the Internet will also develop very fast. In the future, most of the work will deal with him every day. .The architecture department can use the computer to draw more accurate drawings, and the mechanical department can use the computer to design.”

"The development of science and technology is changing with each passing day and changing the lives of human beings, but it needs your participation!"

Many students were overwhelmed by the future technology, and then applauded enthusiastically.

In fact, what Lin Zuhui said was not exaggerated, but what he said was very convincing.

In the end, Lin Zuhui said: "The motherland needs you. If one day you have the opportunity to go abroad for further study, I hope that you can return to China to participate in the construction after the completion of your study."

All the teachers and students applauded again. In their view, Lin Zuhui is now returning to China to participate in the construction, which is of great educational significance.

When the donation ceremony started, everyone was in awe. This is the largest donation of Huaqing University.

For two consecutive days, Lin Zuhui generously donated [-] million Hong Kong dollars, mainly for the construction of teaching buildings and the purchase of teaching equipment.After being interviewed again, Lin Zuhui hurried back to Hong Kong.

Donation is only part of his contribution to the motherland. He personally feels that only investment can truly help the development of the motherland.Hong Kong capital contributed a lot to the development of the mainland in the previous life.

Someone said, isn't that just for profit?

It can be said this way, but why is almost every country begging entrepreneurs to invest at the beginning!

Even in a rich country like Canada, every senior official of them came to Lin Zuhui's office, and they were very courteous, hoping that Lin Zuhui would invest.

Simply put, without businessmen, the world would be inefficient and unable to develop.
