Wolf of Xiangjiang

Taifook Group Center.

In the office on the 70th floor, Lin Wendong, who had just returned from the United States, personally reported to Lin Zhengjie.

"Father, Taifook Group's outlet business in the United States currently has 39 brand-name discount stores. Tanger, which has been deeply involved in outlets for more than 22 years, has 3 more stores than them. At present, our main real estate investments in the United States are divided into: office buildings, shopping centers, and outlets. We have three growth curves, integrated business, and smooth development in all aspects."

Taifook Group owns more than 3000 million square feet of commercial office space in the United States, most of which are concentrated in Manhattan, New York; it owns 31 shopping malls in seven states in the United States.

As for the outlet business, it was based on the acquisition of Chelsea Real Estate Company in the United States for more than 40 billion US dollars in the past two years. At that time, Chelsea Real Estate Company was the largest Internet celebrity in the American outlet industry, owning 31 brand discount villages around tourist cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Orlando, Las Vegas, and also had a presence in Japan and Mexico.

Subsequently, Taifook Group (USA) became the outlet business unit and continued to develop Outlets with Chelsea Properties as its foundation.

Lin Zhengjie dares to invest so much commercial real estate in the United States, especially shopping malls and outlets for business purposes. In addition to his confidence in cyclical investment, his personal charm can also make foreign elite talents loyal.

In other words, the foreign senior executives of Taifook Group (USA) are all "loyal subjects" of the Lin Zhengjie family. Not only will they work wholeheartedly for the company, they will also not betray the Lin Zhengjie family.

It is precisely because of this kind of "brainwashing" charm that Lin Zhengjie has become a much more successful global businessman than Li Jiacheng in his previous life.

For example, the professional managers who run the outlet business in the United States all have a strong sense of belonging to the Taifu Group and are loyal to the Lin Zhengjie family to the point that they are willing to devote all their abilities to get a generous salary. If they were replaced by a Chinese boss, these people might do some tricks, unless they are always kept an eye on.

Lin Wendong went to the United States to work this time as assistant to the president of Taifook Group (USA). He is still in a learning state and is responsible for developing a new business - outlets.

"Well, outlets rely on acquisitions to develop, which is faster. If we develop on our own, it would not be suitable in the past two years," Lin Zhengjie commented.

Lin Wendong suggested at this time: "Father, why don't we develop a metropolitan center, so that we can add a fourth growth curve."

Lin Zhengjie said decisively: "No need. According to the strength and speed of real estate loans in the United States, it is expected that the subprime mortgage crisis will break out in three years. If we acquire the Metropolitan Center at this time, first, others may not be willing to sell it, after all, everyone knows that real estate is appreciating at this time; second, even if we acquire it, the price may be very high. There is not much time left before the crisis, and we don't have time to adjust."

Lin Wendong was stunned. He didn't expect his father to think so far ahead. However, when he thought that his father was best at predicting economic trends, he immediately had no other questions.

"Okay. But if what father said is true, will we have to sell a lot of real estate assets in three years?"

In other words, the two are father and son, otherwise this question cannot be asked. This is the core idea within the core.

Of course, since he is the eldest son, it would be fine to tell him about the future situation.

"Assuming we will sell assets in three years, we will not sell off a large amount, but will do it as a strategy to 'reduce debt' and 'reduce losses'. For example, if we have 500 billion assets in the United States, we may only need to sell 200 billion assets, and these 200 billion assets must be properties with poor rent collection and poor management. The reason we do this is, of course, to continue to buy at the bottom in the crisis and regain market share."

"I understand!"

"As long as you know"

From the beginning to the end, Lin Zhengjie did not ask Lin Wendong about his girlfriend. Although he also wanted to have a grandchild, it was obviously impossible in the next few years. Lin Wendong from the first wife and Lin Wenyi from the second wife both had girlfriends and were at the age of marriage (23 years old), so everything went with the flow. Maybe Lin Zhengjie's first grandchild will not be born until after 2007.

It's acceptable. After all, I have many sons and I'm not in a hurry to have grandchildren.

In the hot summer, Lin Zhengjie brought his 14 wives and concubines to the "Golden Jade Hall" for vacation.

Nowadays, Hong Kong is full of paparazzi. If Lam Ching Kit wants to avoid exaggerated news, he can only vacation on a super yacht. Sometimes he also stays in the super villa of Yunfengju, which covers an area of ​​4.4 square feet and has a long private road, which can protect privacy as much as possible.

Other places are not realistic, of course, if you rent an island overseas for vacation, you may choose. But Lin Zhengjie does not want to have himself and his 14 wives and concubines for this kind of vacation. After all, if there is any mistake, it is easy to "get caught in the same pot".

At this time, only two members of the second generation of the Lin family have entered the workforce, so it is not completely safe. But if another two years pass, it might be something to consider.

The place was full of gold and jade, and everyone was wearing bikinis. For a moment, it seemed like the global beauty pageant finals, and every woman was a strong contender for the championship.

When Lin Zhengjie arrived on the deck, he was even more shocked. He saw eight women lying on chairs with their backs to the sky. Each of them was smeared with sunscreen and had a shiny and perky body, which was really stimulating to the man's lower body.

He then sat on Monica's chair and slapped her breasts with his palms. Then they became elastic and the muscles on her breasts trembled. This was a healthy beauty.

Then, he came to Mayawen's seat and slapped her again. This time it felt better, a satisfying feeling.

Although Monica is 40 years old at this time, she is still under the care of Lin Zhengjie and looks more like the girl in her previous life's 1991 "Love Affair". Therefore, she is still a lot worse than the plump figure that Ma Yawen has achieved through years of training.

The girls all ignored Lin Zhengjie's "prank" and instead chatted with each other about other things, or rather, let it go.

Lin Zhengjie then came to Lizhi's seat again. The snow-white plumpness, although a little tight, but the feel and appearance are also very good. A slap down, there is a feeling of R desire.

Because he knew that Li Zhi was not very 'anti-aging', he would take special care of her, so Li Zhi was still very beautiful at this time. Generally speaking, a woman with Lin Zhengjie will not lose her charm before the age of 60.

After taking pictures of the three women, Lin Zhengjie stood up and looked at the recliners one by one.

He was thinking, whose buttocks would be more charming next?

Sometimes you don't have to be the most beautiful woman to have beautiful parts. Just like Lin Qingxia, whom Lin Zhengjie likes, each part of her is not particularly outstanding, but when combined together, she is one of the most beautiful women in the world.

"Yes"

Lin Zhengjie happily came behind Qiu Shuzhen and felt her round buttocks. They were not big, but very beautiful and charming!
"Are you in the selection competition?"

Just as Lin Zhengjie selected the fourth of the eight people outside, the other six also came out one after another, and Guan Jiahui was still joking with a smile.

Guan Jiahui has a particularly great advantage. She never shows off her status as the "first wife". Her status as the first wife is shown by the other women, or is something that everyone habitually assumes.

Therefore, when everyone gathered with Lin Zhengjie privately, she was just one of the women, nothing special.

What Kwan Ka Wai really cares about is: she has been living with her mother-in-law in the "Lin family ancestral home", Lin Zhengjie has devoted more energy to raising their three children, she has been a senior director of the Taifook Group for a long time, and Lin Wendong has joined the Taifook Group and received training. These are what she really cares about.

So at this time, she did not have the slightest air of being the first wife. When 14 beauties stood in front of a man, Lin Zhengjie believed that no one wanted to be like Sun Wukong, who froze the seven fairies and only cared about eating peaches.

So he was like a veteran in the brothel, wandering among the beauties, and proficient in "talking about sex and tasting".

Next, after four days of traveling on the "Golden Jade Full Hall", Lin Zhengjie finally got off the ship.

That day, Lin Zhengjie came to Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate.

Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate is located in the eastern part of Tseung Kwan O in the southeast of Hong Kong and New Territories. It is the third industrial estate in Hong Kong. It is 3 kilometers southeast of Tseung Kwan O New Town, that is, the northern part of Tai Chi Sha. It covers an area of ​​75 hectares and was opened in 1995. However, when it was opened, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry was "sunset", so there were not many factories set up in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Park. A lot of land was still vacant, like a desert.

But in the late 1990s, the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate welcomed the support of the Lam Ching Kit family. First, Xiaomi Technology invested in a research and development and production center in Tseung Kwan O, and then CRIT Clothing Group also established a research and development and design center here.
Today, Lane Crawford Group’s large-scale cosmetics R&D and production base in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate was officially put into operation.

This is a super factory covering an area of ​​over 100 million square feet. Of course, land is extremely expensive in Hong Kong, so this super factory is a combination of two industrial buildings and is also developing towards the sky.

At a time when Hong Kong's manufacturing industries were moving to the mainland, Lin Zhengjie had always taken great care of Hong Kong and tried to leave as much as possible for Hong Kong.

For example, this "super cosmetics factory" is actually the global R&D center of the "Lane Crawford Cosmetics Group". Production is secondary, after all, there are three large factories in the mainland.

Lin Zhengjie does not want Hong Kong to be left with nothing in the fields of science and technology and manufacturing, so he has been trying his best to contribute to Hong Kong.

For example, Xiaomi Technology, although the group’s headquarters is in the Mainland, it still has a R&D center and overseas marketing center in Hong Kong, with a staff of over a thousand people.

Not to mention the software aspect, Cyberport employs five to six thousand people. Most of these are opportunities brought to Hong Kong by Lin Zhengjie. It has become a global base in the fields of games and software.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for bringing another important opportunity to Hong Kong!" Dong Jianhua also brought officials to the opening ceremony and said very seriously.

Everyone present nodded, and some even felt that Lam Ching Kit was the father and mother official of Hong Kong.

"I am just an ordinary citizen of Hong Kong. Mr. Tung's words are too kind. Of course, since I am a citizen of Hong Kong, I hope that Hong Kong will be better tomorrow!"

“Yes, we are all citizens of Hong Kong”

Afterwards, Li Shaoan, President of Lane Crawford Cosmetics Group, introduced this R&D center to everyone!

“After the Lane Crawford Cosmetics Group Center is put into use, there will be nearly 200 professional researchers and chemists here, accounting for 5% of the world’s total. In addition, there will be about 1200 people from other departments and production staff.”

Everyone gasped. The 300 professional researchers and chemists were all highly talented, and perhaps half of them had PhDs from prestigious universities.

Of course, Hong Kong has cultivated a lot of talents in biomedicine and chemistry over the years. Wheelock Group also has 'Wheelock Medicine' which also invites talents to join.

Talents in medicine and cosmetics also have some commonalities.

"Clap"

The applause breaks out!
Just as Dong Jianhua said at the beginning, Lam Ching Kit brought an "industry" to Hong Kong sixteen or seventeen years ago - the cosmetics and beauty industry. As "Hong Kong culture" swept across Asia and the world, Hong Kong's cosmetics and beauty products also began to sell well in Asia.

Especially for tourists coming to Hong Kong, cosmetics must be one of the products they want to buy.

Subsequently.

Lin Zhengjie and Dong Jianhua jointly cut the ribbon and announced the launch of the 'Tseung Kwan O Lane Crawford Cosmetics Group Center' as the headquarters center. The cosmetics group (global), which has 400 researchers and chemists and 5000 employees, will continue to support Hong Kong.

After the new headquarters was launched, Lin Zhengjie immediately convened a meeting here, attended by Yuan Tianfan, President of Wheelock Group, and senior executives of Lane Crawford Cosmetics Group.

At this time, Lane Crawford Retail Group and Lane Crawford Makeup Group were already part of two business units, both directly under the leadership of Wheelock Group.

In other words, Lane Crawford Cosmetics Group has been upgraded!

This is an arrangement by Lin Zhengjie!
At the beginning of the meeting, Li Shaoan immediately arranged for a female employee to demonstrate the "Air Cushion BB Cream" and stood up to introduce it personally.

"Boss, President, after more than a year of research and development, we have been able to perfectly control the fluidity and stability of the liquid formula of this water-repellent multi-effect air cushion powder cream. During this period, we conducted more than 200 tests using about 3600 different sponges, and finally the product has achieved perfect technical and efficacy solutions."

Afterwards, the female employee used the world's first 'Air Cushion BB Cream' on the spot, and then demonstrated the effect of the makeup to everyone.

Lin Zhengjie said with satisfaction: "Since the research and development has been successful, we can launch the product."

"Okay boss, we have decided to officially launch it in July!"

Later, Lin Zhengjie said, "With our new headquarters and R&D center in operation, I need you, Lane Crawford Cosmetics Group, to implement three major strategies: First, we need to adopt the fast-selling cosmetics model. That is, global beauty brands usually spend more than a year developing products, but we strive to develop Hong Kong cosmetics in 1 to 4 months. Consumer feedback is generally very fast, which requires our skin care product cycle to be particularly fast. Once a product is launched and does not sell well, it will be eliminated."

"Second, we must quickly adapt to changes in channels, from the initial direct sales model to brand collection stores, discount stores, department store counters, duty-free shops, e-commerce, shopping malls, self-built private label retailer channels, etc., to achieve a multi-channel layout, and even gradually deploy an e-commerce model."

"Third, we paid attention to the broader low-end market. For example, we established a low-end and mid-range brand called 'Huaxizi' and chose three channels for sales: supermarkets, franchise stores and e-commerce."

A group of senior executives took notes and prepared to study it.

Maybe they are already doing what Lin Zhengjie said, or have already wanted to do it; but since the boss brought it up today, they must take it seriously.

"Okay, boss!" Li Shaoan answered respectfully with a look of learning on his face.

Lin Zhengjie said with satisfaction: "Hong Kong culture has made Hong Kong cosmetics successful. Later I will ask the TV station to shoot a Hong Kong drama and continue to implant Lane Crawford's cosmetics."

The most popular cosmetics and beauty products in Hong Kong usually have Hong Kong celebrities as their spokespeople. Many women will buy the clothes and cosmetics of the female celebrities in Hong Kong dramas when they watch them. This is linkage. (End of this chapter)
