Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 482 [Family]

Wing On Centre, LEIT Group.

Lin Zuhui was in the office, looking through the performance of the LEIT Group in the past year.

Crocodile shirts, Giordano, and Jeanswest, the performance of the three brands has risen sharply again, and the three brands also correspond to mid-to-high-end, mid-to-low-end, and low-end brands.It is precisely this kind of positioning that makes these three brands very popular throughout Asia; of course, there are also key markets. For example, Giordano is a best-selling brand in Taiwan and Xiangjiang, crocodile shirts are also a best-selling brand in Japan and Xiangjiang, and Jeanswest is going fast. There are stores in many important cities in Asia, and the sales volume is also very good.

IT fashion retail, Luk Fook jewellery, British Harvey Nix boutique department store, Ouchi Secret Agent underwear brand. Unknowingly, Lin Zuhui has established a fashion empire with an annual turnover of 130 billion Hong Kong dollars and a net profit of 10.2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

You can become a giant without selling luxury goods.

Beginning this year, the LEIT Group can start to enjoy the development dividends of the mainland, and it will show explosive growth in the next few years.

In recent years, Lin Zuhui has insisted on developing LEIT Group in Asia instead of trying to develop in Europe and America. The main reason is that the Asian market is still huge, and LEIT Group also needs a larger background.

LEIT Group has 63 stores in Asia, including more than 30 stores in Xiangjiang alone; in addition, in Xiangjiang, it also owns a number of valuable properties such as the LEIT Group Building (combined and rebuilt), two crocodile shirt factory properties in Kowloon, etc. property.

Lin Zuhui's idea is very simple. Sooner or later, the apparel industry will face strong competition. At that time, the brands under LEIT will also be greatly affected; then, with its stores, LEIT Group can also live a very prosperous life.

After a while, Chen Shiwen, president of LEIT Group, came to Lin Zuhui's office.

Lin Zuhui said to him: "I want the LEIT Group to enter the wine field. You can ask the top executives in London to search for suitable wine estates in Bordeaux, France, and then make acquisitions."

As a senior talent in this field, Chen Shiwen naturally knows this knowledge.

"Boss, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for the listed estates. The French are very stingy. For other estates, if you don't move too much, there should be no problem."

Bordeaux has only more than 60 famous red wine chateaus, but there are more than 7000 red wine estates. In addition, the French have always regarded local luxury goods and red wine estates as "national assets", so it is really difficult to acquire them.

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "Not necessarily, you have to try it. Didn't the Japanese buy a century-old red wine estate in 1983? It took two years of negotiation to complete the transaction. However, the French economy has fallen to the bottom this year. It’s time for us to buy the bottom. At that time, we will buy some advertisements in the French media, claiming that this is a good opportunity for French red wine to enter China. I don’t believe they will not be tempted.”

Entering the mainland is definitely a scam, and the red wine market in the mainland will not open until at least 2000.

Chen Shiwen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let people go find the target first!"

Lin Zuhui said: "It's best to buy a classified manor, and it's okay if you can't. But it's better to buy a red wine manor with a slightly larger area and a longer history. Our group will slowly operate the red wine business to complete a business field. If you have a goal, you can tell me, I plan to travel."

Class-level manors also have levels, which are divided into five levels. However, except for first-level manors, the number of manors in other levels is about the same, about a dozen.

"Ok"

In the blink of an eye, the Lunar New Year in 1993, Lin Zuhui's family gathered at the Lin's ancestral house at No. 75, Deep Water Bay.

The Lin Zuhui family is often used by Xiangjiang citizens and the media, and Lin Zuhui is naturally the founder of this family.

In Xiangjiang, "family" is a very honorable word. Firstly, there must be a family business, and secondly, there must be family members.

In Xiangjiang, centuries-old families abound, such as the Kwok family of Wing On, the Fu Laorong family of the second-generation 'D King' of Macau, the Li family of the Bank of East Asia, and the Ho Tung family. There are countless old families.Although some families have 'declined', it is actually a superficial phenomenon. These families have only declined in business, but their family members are all wealthy, with assets in Hong Kong and overseas.

Especially overseas, Xiangjiang’s families have a lot of assets. For example, Guo Desheng’s family owns properties worth billions in San Francisco, as well as Cha Jimin’s family, Run Run Shaw’s family, Chen Qizong’s family, Luo Yingshi’s family, Luo Xurui’s family, and Yang Zhiyun’s family. , Feng Jingxi family, Hu Xian family, etc., the overseas assets of these families can be said to be wealth starting from one billion.

An authoritative American financial magazine "Forbes" pointed out in an article that there are about 5500 million overseas Chinese (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), with an annual output value of 5000 billion US dollars, equivalent to more than the gross national product of the mainland; the total assets of overseas Chinese are almost 2 billion US dollars, close to two-thirds of Japan's total assets (Japan's population is 1.2 million), and the per capita possession of assets exceeds that of Japan.

The foreign exchange reserves of the three economic regions including Xiangjiang, Singapore, and Taiwan Island are 1700 billion US dollars, which is equal to the sum of Germany and Japan, the largest economic powers in Eurasia.

Many economists in the West compare the Chinese living overseas with the Jews, and call them "Oriental Jews" in good faith.Individual indigenous societies in Southeast Asia cursed Chinese people of Chinese descent as Eastern Jews.

Having said that, Lin Zuhui feels that the two ethnic groups are somewhat similar, they are both hardworking, thrifty, and rich.

In Indonesia, the Chinese account for only 3% to 4% of the population, but they control the country's economic lifeline. The Chinese own 70% of the private capital. Among the 200 large companies in Indonesia, the Chinese account for 160; in Thailand, the Chinese account for 10% of the population. , but controls the four major private banks; in Malaysia, the top three richest people over the years are all Chinese, and the Guo Huonian family has survived for 20 years.

Because of being so rich, they naturally received some bad treatment, so Southeast Asian capital has settled in Singapore and Xiangjiang in recent years, which can not only leave a way out, but also take the opportunity to enter the mainland.

Of course, they did not give up the power and wealth of Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. Although Guo Huonian settled in Hong Kong, he still arranged for his children to do business in Malaysia. impression.

At the New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Zuhui looked at the Eight Immortals and the Twelve Sons, and couldn't help sighing, "This is the country I have laid down."

All the girls looked at the head of the family with smiles on their faces, and all of them were very satisfied with their current lives.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Every time you return to your country of nationality, are you familiar with the environment of the day, and do you carry out local activities with the protagonist's mood?"

The girls were taken aback for a moment, and suddenly showed some reluctance!

Guan Jiahui immediately said: "You want to drive us out of Xiangjiang?"

Lin Zuhui said seriously: "It's not to drive you back to your country of nationality, but in 1995, the children went to study there, and then returned to Xiangjiang for winter and summer vacations. As for you, I suggest that you also start a business locally. This year I will give [-] million each of you to invest."

Li Jiaxin also asked anxiously: "Then how do we get together? In Xiangjiang, we still have a month to stay alone for two days, and everyone can get together every weekend. Are you going to brake in time, because the children also exist.

Lin Zuhui stared at Li Jiaxin like this, this woman is so real, she almost lost her image among the children.

"You are all rich people, why are you afraid of this distance? You can go back to Xiangjiang at any time, and I often travel abroad, so what's wrong with that. It saves the eight of you from staying in Xiangjiang. The goal is so big. I let so many immigrants The purpose is to share the risk of family wealth. I became the richest man in the world at a young age, and I don’t know how much wealth I will have in the future. Think about it for yourself. If you really don’t want to stay abroad, I won’t force you.”

The voice just fell.

Everyone still expresses their opinions one after another, and they will go to the local area to gain a firm foothold and raise their children.

Li Jiaxin said as if competing for favor: "We don't mean to stop talking with you, but we just need to make things clear. If we can go back to Hong Kong at any time, we are naturally happy to go abroad. There are still many people in Hong Kong who want to immigrate!"

It is a fact that many people want to immigrate. Zhou Xingchi still wants to immigrate, but his background is not enough.

The main reason is that the Xiangjiang River is too small, and there is something like a small boat in the sea, which is so crumbling in the storm.

Family branches must be established, so that Xiangjiang will not be able to accommodate so many rich people in the future.

Lin Zuhui can create trillions of wealth before 2022, and every outstanding son in the family can inherit more wealth by then.

Of course, it is to use the money to repurchase assets, not to share the business of the main wife.
