Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 393 [Fiery real estate]

On Monday, the negotiations with the Burton Group went relatively smoothly. Seeing Lin Zuhui's insistence on bidding 5200 million pounds, the Burton Group did not sit back and raise the price.They just want to get rid of this money-losing department store. It is a gift from heaven to have a Chinese take over.

Lin Zuhui didn't worry too much. If the LEIT Group wants to really expand, it can only go through this kind of mergers and acquisitions. The century-old European brands with excellent performance cannot get the turn of Chinese-funded companies.

Especially the French national treasure brand, it is impossible for Lin Zuhui to acquire it, unless the brand is losing money all the year round, and there are not many locals to compete, it may be approved by the government, such as the French 'Pondo' luxury brand in the hands of Dickson Poon. product brand.

You know, after Gallic Chicken's 'Latour' was acquired by the British, it caused a great uproar, and then Gallic Chicken tried its best to buy back the national treasure red wine brand.

Therefore, it is very difficult to acquire a century-old European brand.The acquisition of this department store does not require the approval of the London government, and the procedures are relatively simple!
After the price was negotiated, the LEIT Group dispatched a team to audit the 'Harrods Boutique Department Store' before signing the contract formally.However, Chen Shiwen, the president, will naturally take care of the rest of the matter.

In the next two days, Lin Zuhui conducted the recruitment of senior staff at the London headquarters of the LEIT Group, and selected three senior staff; one of them, an Englishman named Ian, was appointed by him as the vice president of the LEIT Group, and was specifically in charge of Europe affairs.

The main battlefield of the LEIT Group's business is still Asia. The reason why Lin Zuhui let it develop in Europe is because this is the center of fashion in the world. He hopes to bring the advantages of Europe to Asia.

The development of two brands, Harrods Boutique Department Store and Ouchi Secret Agent, is aimed at promoting business growth in Asia. As for Europe itself, it is only hoped that it will not lose money and have a good long-term stable profit.

Time flies, and ten days pass in a blink of an eye.

Thursday, November 3.

In the office of Huazhi Center, Lin Zuhui stood in front of the window, looking at the 'Long Dragon' under the 'Twin Towers', frowning.

Those queuing up had heard that New Times Real Estate's "Scenery Garden" would be launched within a few days, and immediately there was a long queue at the sales office of Huazhi Center Building, the headquarters of New Times Group.

After a while, Chen Xiaofen walked into Lin Zuhui's office and said anxiously, "Boss, from yesterday to today, we have put up notices many times to persuade citizens to leave, but those people have no intention of leaving at all. It means fighting."

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "No, it's easy to cause accidents by ostentation! You should immediately contact the police to come forward, and you must not go on like this!"

Chen Xiaofen nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

The real estate market exploded!

In March 1991, the Xiangjiang property market was gaining momentum, and the rising trend was sharp, especially the well-equipped large-scale private housing estates became popular, including Whampoa Garden, Taikoo Shing, Kornhill Garden, Xinghua Village, Telford Garden, etc. , especially the property prices of Taikoo Shing and Whampoa Gardens have risen sharply from 3 yuan per square foot to 2 yuan per square foot since the end of February.

The "Sceneway Garden" of New Times Real Estate is the last large-scale private housing estate along the subway line, and is very popular with the public.

However, the sales period of New Era Real Estate is next Friday, how could it be possible to sell ahead of time just because these people lined up, it would be messy.

At this time, the downstairs of Huazhi Center was full of crowds, and from time to time, there were members of the association staring at each other.However, almost all the people in the team are real estate speculators from Xiangjiang, and they also have backgrounds.

What's more, if you offend the public, the members of the club will definitely not get any benefits.Back then, a scuffle broke out because the club jumped in line, and the result was that the club was beaten to pieces, which shows how terrifying the crazy crowd is.

"Brother, are you going to flip the house, or use it yourself?" A young man in the crowd said to the older brother in front.

I don't know when the queue will end, so at this time, the teams are inquiring about each other's situation or reaching a deal.

"I'm part of the real estate speculators, can't I just mind my own business!" The 30-year-old brawny man seemed dissatisfied with the young people asking more, and said sternly.

In fact, he planned to buy his own house, but the reason why he was able to know the news in advance was thanks to a relative who worked in New Era Real Estate.

Young people are the real real estate speculators, and they are of a team nature. Although they are young, their vision is very vicious.

"Brother, I have no other intentions. I just want to make a deal with you. If you can win a unit, I will immediately buy it at a price higher than 8 Hong Kong dollars. Brother, if you think about it, you will line up , spend a few days of effort, you can earn 8, what a bargain!"

The brawny man showed a heart-wrenching expression. They had a house to live in, but they wanted to change to a slightly better one.However, the 8 Hong Kong dollars is obviously very tempting, more than a year's salary.Besides, it is not necessary to change the house in Huijing Garden.

However, he soon remembered his relative who worked in real estate. He highly praised the house in Sceneway Garden, saying that all aspects of the equipment in this community are high-quality in a large housing estate in Xiangjiang, and there is a lot of room for appreciation in the future.

"Not for sale!" the brawny man gritted his teeth and said.

The young man was already happy when he saw the strong man's heart, because he was confident that he could earn at least 25 yuan in one month from one unit.

But the big man was suddenly determined, which made him very regretful.

"Brother, this is my business card. If you have made up your mind, you can call me anytime!"

"Know it!"

Such situations happen frequently among the crowd, and Xiangjiang has set off a real estate speculation frenzy.

Due to the active property market, real estate developers in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories have sold out many properties in an instant, and the property prices have risen rapidly; even for properties that have not yet been registered and put on sale, there is already a queue of people waiting at the sales office, lest the opportunity be lost in an instant passed away.

At around 10:[-] in the morning, a large number of JCs appeared in Huazhi Center. They began to disperse the crowd, and the people who lined up reluctantly left. JC's eviction is still very effective, and New Times Real Estate has posted announcements many times to persuade them to leave.

Lin Zuhui looked at the crowd driven away by JC, and he felt relieved. It really made these people queue up for seven or eight days. Some people didn't buy it by then, and the resentment would be even greater. It's better to drive away early.

After a while, Liang Zhenxun walked in, holding a report in his hand, and handed it to Lin Zuhui respectfully.

"Boss, the latest asset revaluation report is out!"

"Okay, I'll take a look later."

Lin Zuhui asked again: "How active is the real estate market outside?"

Speaking of this, Liang Zhenxun said vividly: "It's so active! In social places, everyone is talking about property prices and exchanging experience in property speculation. Bank mortgage departments, law firms, and real estate agents are all very busy. Some real estate agents Merchants are even more busy from nine o’clock in the morning until the early hours of the next day in order to earn more commissions. I estimate that spot speculators account for about 55% of the market, and off-the-plan speculators may be as high as 70%.”

Hearing this, Lin Zuhui didn't know whether he was happy or happy!
Actually a little sad!

This made him more determined to "rejuvenate Hong Kong with Hong Kong culture", "rejuvenate Hong Kong with comics" and "rejuvenate Hong Kong with traditional Chinese medicine".

Of course, the dividends in the real estate market should be earned and earned more.

Otherwise, where does his strength come from, worrying about the country and the people!

After Liang Zhenxun left, Lin Zuhui carefully looked at the "New Era Group Assets Revaluation" information.

The net asset value has reached 828.6 billion Hong Kong dollars!
Very high-quality assets. If the office building market hadn't improved much since the collapse in [-], New Times Group's assets would have been even higher.

New Times Group is now a well-deserved overlord of real estate, which means that in a year or two, Lin Zuhui will be put on fire.

In the previous life, it was Li Chaoren who stood in front of the major real estate developers, but in this life, it became Li Chaoren who stood in front of the major real estate developers.

But in any case, when the Hong Kong government intends to crack down on real estate developers, the major real estate developers will be very united.

However, Hong Kong's real estate economy occupies too large a proportion. Naturally, the power of major real estate developers is also very large. The Hong Kong government can't move it.

Lin Zuhui came to the News Building and continued to supervise the layout of his "Comics Prospering Hong Kong".

He didn't expect the manga industry to reach the level of Japan, but if calculated according to the population, Xiangjiang is one-twentieth of Japan's, so it can support an industrial chain of tens of billions to hundreds of billions.Of course, this industrial chain is going to be extended overseas.

When he came to his office, Long Jingchang, Luo Bencheng, Zhao Han and others soon came together.

"Tell me about the situation of the two comic project teams that are being prepared?" Lin Zuhui said.

Luo Bencheng immediately sat up straight and reported seriously: "The project team of "Pokémon" consists of nine people in total, one Japanese chief writer with two Japanese assistants, two Chinese chief writers with four Chinese assistants. The project team of "Conan" consists of six members in total, and there is also a Japanese chief writer and two assistants who have all assembled, and are looking up information and ideas according to our outline. It is expected that the official serialization will be available in June."

Lin Zuhui nodded. This speed is as it should be. The original author of "Detective Conan" only conceived for 2 weeks before starting to create.And Lin Zuhui directly gave the general idea of ​​the two themes, which is equivalent to setting the general direction. Even if the talents of these chief writers are not as good as the original authors, at least others are getting an annual salary of 300 to 500 million, and there is a commission.Without a bit of talent, it is impossible to be dug into Xiangjiang.

"First draw the portraits of the protagonists Conan, Xiaozhi, Pikachu, etc., and then hand them over to me for review. Only when the style is determined, can we continue to create!"

"Ok!"

Lin Zuhui still has memories of these main characters and elves, and he even described them to his subordinates. I believe they are [-]% similar.

In fact, Lin Zuhui felt that it was worth it even if he snatched the names of these two animations.If he can reach [-]% of his previous life's influence, he can laugh in his dreams.Even if he reaches [-]% of the influence, he is still earning money.If [-]% of the effect is achieved, he will drive Hong Kong's comics industry almost by himself.

Lin Zuhui went on to say: "Establish a dedicated serial comic magazine - "Manke SHOW", set up comic training courses, establish/acquire animation production companies, acquire toy factories, and establish peripheral development project teams. These tasks, you must earnestly implement them.' Comics revitalize Hong Kong' is the rise of Wanhui Media, and then drive the entire Hong Kong comics industry forward, we must have a pioneering spirit!"

"Okay," everyone echoed in unison.

After the meeting, Luo Bencheng brought Lin Zuhui to the two production project teams.Lin Zuhui communicated with the Japanese editor in fluent Japanese, and encouraged the editor of Xiangjiang to give full play to his opinions. The manga should not be exactly the same as the Japanese manga, and a small amount of Chinese manga elements should be added.

Of course, whether it is the Pokémon world or the background world of Conan, they all adopt a fictional world; in this way, it is easier to promote overseas.
