Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 441 [Big investment plan]

In Shanghai, Lin Zuhui showed his true colors again, and the city government proposed to build the subways in the "Quiet District" and "XH District" respectively, and won two commercial lands of about 3 to 5 square meters respectively to build the "Central Plaza" ', 'Shanghai Grand Gateway Plaza', with a total investment of about 60 billion RMB.

The official of Shanghai Metropolis expressed its welcome, and the two sides will enter the negotiation stage to try to finalize these two projects as soon as possible.

According to Lin Zuhui's idea, the two projects will be started almost at the same time, and then they will be completed and put into use before the millennium.

Wednesday, April 3.

Lin Zuhui and his party came to Modu Port, accompanied by city-level officials, and Chen Xuyuan, chairman of Modu Port, received them.

After the inspection, Lin Zuhui said bluntly: "The planning, design and equipment of the Shanghai Metropolis Port are too backward. Such a port cannot support the rapid economic development of the Shanghai Metropolis in the future."

Chen Xuyuan was taken aback. You know, he led thousands of workers to build the Yangshan Deepwater Port in three years without any precedent. , and summed up a lot of experience, made a great contribution to the construction of deep-water ports.

Now that this young man criticized him so much, it made him a little angry!
Of course, he knew that what Lin Zuhui said was true, and the gap definitely existed.

"Mr. Lin, you don't know the history of Modu Port!" Chen Xuyuan could only say in a low voice.

He is aware of Lin Zuhui's reputation, the richest man in Chinese, self-made, and now the most important Hong Kong businessman in the mainland, so this rebuttal is relatively friendly.

Lin Zuhui immediately said with a smile: "I know the history of Chairman Chen of Modu Port, am I right?"

Chen Xuyuan said: "Yes! Under such conditions, we have done our best to develop the city of Shanghai!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and sent an invitation to Chen Xuyuan: "Chairman Chen, I wonder if you would like to send a team to Xiangjiang to inspect the Kwai Chung Container Terminal, which is the busiest container terminal in the world; I also hope that you will send a team to Europe to inspect The Port of Felix Doo in the UK is the busiest container terminal in the UK. If you are willing, we Asia Containers are willing to arrange it, because we have two container terminals in Kwai Chung and the Port of Felix Doo.”

This is the reason why he directly named Shanghai Magic City Port in the first place, and Chen Xuyuan may not immediately agree to directly propose cooperation.As long as he sees the strength of Asian containers, he will make up his mind to introduce Hong Kong capital.

Chen Xuyuan thought for a while, and said: "If possible, we really hope to investigate. I know what Mr. Lin means, is he hoping to participate in the cooperation of Modu Port?" Only then did he know that this young richest man, So dodgy.

Lin Zuhui said generously: "Why not? The motherland has opened its arms. It is natural for us Hong Kong capital to participate in the construction of the motherland."

This is so well done!

All of a sudden, the accompanying mainland officials all joined in.

Lin Zuhui's identity is very important, this is what the above said!
Chen Xuyuan also knew that Lin Zuhui was amazing, and it was only natural that he wanted to cooperate, but he also knew that this was an opportunity.

Next, everyone left their contact information. If Chen Xuyuan and others come to Hong Kong for inspection, Asia Containers will personally receive them and arrange inspection work in Kwai Chung and Philisto Port.

Currently, New Era Group already owns a 35% stake in Asia Containers, because it bought part of its shares from Sea-Land Containers.Moreover, under the leadership of New Era Group, the strength of Asia Containers has been greatly improved in all aspects.

Of course, Lin Zuhui intends to only invest in the Shanghai Port, and give up investment in ports in Guangdong Province.

There are two reasons: first, in Guangdong Province, Li Chaoren has worked hard for a long time, and Lin Zuhui may not be able to compete; second, there are too many shareholders in Asian Containers, and everyone may not agree with Lin Zuhui's crazy expansion; third, the return rate of the port is not high. It is high, but there is no need to invest too much.

Magic City once again hand-picked three projects, and Lin Zuhui was ready to return to Hong Kong with satisfaction.

The six projects are very large, but they actually account for less than 10% of New Era Group's total investment.

Just one Tsuen Wan Plaza is a large project of 180 billion yuan, and the sum of the six projects in the Mainland is not as big as it.

Of course, the start-up capital of this project only needs about 20%~30%, and the rest is all in the form of loans.

March 3, Hong Kong.

Lin Zuhui was in a very good mood in the office of Huazhi Center.

New Times Group (Huaxia) already has seven project plans in the Mainland, including the Yangcheng Ring Road invested in 1990.

And all projects in the mainland need to be finalized by Lin Zuhui himself to avoid unnecessary losses.The same is true for overseas investment, which requires prudent investment.

After a while, Yuan Tianfan came to Lin Zuhui's office.

"Boss, the Wanglaoji beverage factory in Yangcheng has been completed, and various equipment is being installed!"

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "Well, this summer, we will officially sell Wanglaoji in the mainland. Remember, there is no problem with our products. We only need to keep working hard to market and establish channels in the mainland market. Over time, we can make Wanglaoji a One of the best-selling beverages in the Mainland."

Yuan Tianfan nodded and said, "Well, the sales of Wanglaoji in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have recently increased significantly. It seems that the advertisement of 'If you are afraid of getting angry, drink Wanglaoji' has begun to gain popularity."

Lin Zuhui said: "Accurate positioning is our advantage. The Southeast Asian market also needs to be slowly opened!"

Yuan Tianfan replied: "The sales channel has been established, and now we are working hard to advertise!"

In fact, Lin Zuhui's most important thing is the mainland market, and the overseas market is just trying to promote it!

Then, Yuan Tianfan asked: "Currently, the teams of Jinmailang and Nongfu Spring have been formed. Boss, when will we invest in the Mainland?"

As an executive of Lin Zuhui, Yuan Tianfan was deeply impressed by Lin Zuhui's several plans. Nongfu Spring, Baisui Mountain, Jinmailang, Tang Daren, etc., the boss has formulated a very good and complete plan in terms of product direction and publicity. plan.

Now, the mainland market has opened up again, which is a godsend opportunity.

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will go to the mainland in April! Before that, you go to the UK to adjust the telecommunications industry there: gradually end the CT2 in the UK by the end of this year, and Established Orange Company, and then specialized in the development of digital cellular communication network services."

Knowing that the development of CT2 is not going well, Lin Zuhui still chooses to let Times Communication develop. This is because the technology of digital cellular communication network services is not yet mature; moreover, he also needs to lay a foundation in British Telecom.

Now that this technology has come out, Times Communications will naturally take the lead in developing it.

Yuan Tianfan said: "CT2 has only been launched for 6 months, and it will end at the end of the year?"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "The CT2 technology is really bad (need to cooperate with the pager), I have already predicted that it will be eliminated, but there is no better technology. The emergence of the digital cellular communication network is exactly what we The communication model that needs to be developed. And, since we already have the ticket of BT, we can naturally decide the direction of development by ourselves."

Yuan Tianfan said in admiration: "The boss has always taken a long-term view in his work. I am afraid that Times Communication will be ahead of Hutchison Communications. However, the development of CT2 here in Xiangjiang should last for a year or two, and then it will be converted to digital cellular. You can save some costs.”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "We only need to focus on participating in the communication market of Xiangjiang. Hongkong Telecom is like our prey. Sooner or later we will get it! After all, no matter how it develops, how can it compare with Hongkong Telecom, a Hong Kong What about the giant company with the second largest market capitalization!"

Hong Kong Telecom's market capitalization is second only to HSBC, with 1.6 employees, which shows its great strength.

Yuan Tianfan was surprised. The boss actually regarded Hongkong Telecom as a prey. You must know that Hongkong Telecom specially allocated shares to Huaxin and Guangdong Telecom in order to survive the nine sevens.

Seeing Yuan Tianfan was a little surprised, Lin Zuhui continued: "Of course, this is a matter for the future, we don't need to think about it now!"

"Ok!"

After Yuan Tianfan left, Liang Zhenxun walked in.

"boss"

"Well, sit first!"

Then, Liang Zhenxun reported his work. He is the chief financial officer and needs to report the financial situation of the group to Lin Zuhui at any time, so that Lin Zuhui can make investment decisions.

Regardless of the fact that New Times Group has invested a lot recently, there are still nearly 50 billion Hong Kong dollars in its account.This is just a dividend of 15 billion Hong Kong dollars paid to investors.

After all, according to Lin Zuhui's profit forecast for New Times Group in 1992, it will be as high as 90 billion a year; this is equivalent to an average monthly cash income of [-] to [-] million (the principal is also returned).

After listening to the report, Lin Zuhui felt that the funds of New Era Group were not too much.

But there is no hurry. With the reputation of New Times Group, it can raise billions of funds at any time, and issue convertible bonds (also known as zero-coupon bonds, because the interest is finally paid together with the principal, and the interest rate is relatively low. Maturity After that, the investor can choose to exchange shares at the agreed price, or choose to get back the principal and interest)

You can even make a loan. After all, the debt is 80 billion, which is not worth mentioning for a group with assets worth [-] billion.

"The capital is very sufficient, so this year I will spend about 30 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy commercial real estate in the United States! In addition, the mainland also needs about 20 billion to 30 billion start-up funds."

"Okay, I'll make the financial arrangements!"

The two have already cooperated skillfully. Liang Zhenxun only needs to manage the finances in an orderly manner. Lin Zuhui will find a way if he is short of money, and Lin Zuhui will decide the money himself.

After Liang Zhenxun left, Lin Zuhui thought about it.

He almost couldn't help asking Liang Zhenxun to arrange another fund to short sell USD/JPY.

USD/JPY climbed above 130 points in early March, and then continued to rise. As of today, it is 134 points.

Hengjin Investment started short selling in early March, selling 20 billion Hong Kong dollars (1 million margin) every day. Today is the ninth day, and the average price of short selling is around 132.5 points.

Logically speaking, it is safer for New Era Group to come in and sell short at this time than Hengjin Investment.

However, Lin Zuhui still decided to give up. The first is that New Times Group has got rid of the lack of money, and the second is that Lin Zuhui plans to use rights issues to raise funds and issue bonds to raise funds.

Therefore, there is no need to make non-recurring profits!

What's more, it's better for Lin Zuhui to add another 5 million Hong Kong dollars for short selling, and when he makes money, he can also use it to participate in the rights issue to raise funds.

New Times Group needs rights issue to raise funds, because it can have more shareholders (many original shareholders would not choose rights issue) and join more new shareholders.Of course, Lin Zuhui participates in the rights issue every time, so the shareholding ratio will not be diluted.

Including the discovery of convertible bonds, Lin Zuhui himself has to claim half to ensure that his shares will not be diluted.

In fact, the development of New Era Group has been so huge and good. If it were replaced by Lee Shau Kee, Guo Bingxiang, and Zheng Yutong, they would enjoy dividends as much as possible. Although they will also invest, they will never make such a big step.

But Lin Zuhui is different. He intends to develop New Times Group into a world-class real estate company and a comprehensive group; therefore, he must continue to invest, invest and reinvest.

For example, commercial real estate in the United States did not buy a lot of bottoms this year, and there will never be such a good opportunity in the future; similarly, commercial real estate in London is about to fall to the bottom, and I am sorry if I don’t buy bottoms.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui plans to invest in two large sums of money just to buy the commercial real estate in New York and London.

Lin Zuhui is now waiting for Olympia York, the largest commercial real estate company in Canada, to go bankrupt. At that time, it will be the best opportunity to enter the market, and it should be this year.

This real estate company owns a large number of office buildings in New York!That's beside the point. If this company goes bankrupt, it will send New York's commercial office space down again.

At present, the vacancy rate of office buildings in New York and London has reached more than 20%, which is far more sluggish than imagined.
