Chapter 1027 The King of Hong Kong, Acquires Kowloon Motor Bus
When the domestic turmoil settled, Lin Cheng also let go of his hanging heart and held a high-level working meeting at the Lin Millennium Building to summarize the progress of the New Territories New Town and the New Territories Factory.
In the past two months, due to the transfer of Chen Huiyi to the United States and the transfer of Lin Wenlong to Australia, the top management of the Lin Holding Group has changed greatly.
Although Liang Botao still holds the position of president of the group, he is good at financial investment business, and corporate management is not what he is good at.
As a result, the three major executives of Lin's Holding Group will leave Lin's Holding Group, and Lin's Holding Group will fall into the dilemma of having no leader.
In this regard, Lin Cheng first transferred Liu Zhipingping, executive vice president of Lin Group, to Lin Holding Group as executive vice president, and once Liang Botao left two months later, Liu Zhiping will take over Lin Holding Group and become the new president of Lin Holdings.
Liu Zhiping was born in 1973, only 27 years old, graduated from MBA from Northwest University in 95 years, and has worked for less than five years, but now he has the opportunity to take over the Lin Holding Group, an aircraft carrier giant ship with a total market value of more than 500 billion Hong Kong dollars, is undoubtedly a super celebrity under Lin's family, and the industry has a very high evaluation of him, believing that he will become one of the most important right-hand men around Lin Cheng in the future.
Lin Cheng has always admired Liu Zhiping's ability, thinking that he is the most young and old, in the original time and space, Liu Zhiping was also young, and he was recognized by Twist Vine, from an ordinary investment manager at Goldman Sachs, directly to Penguin as the president.
Although Liu Zhiping, who first arrived at Penguin, has little qualifications and is young, he has never made a mistake and led Penguin to become China's No. 1 Internet company in one fell swoop.
Although the outside world has attributed all the credit to the founder of the penguin, Liu Zhiping, who is known as the man behind the twist vine by the industry, has made no less credit than anyone else, and he is the equivalent of Han Xiang Xiao He in the penguin empire.
In this life, Liu Zhiping was dug into Lin by Lin Cheng in advance, and when he was the vice president of Lin Group, he showed that his management ability was not weaker than Fang Dehua, and in terms of investment vision and business strategy, Liu Zhiping was even stronger than Fang Dehua.
However, when Fang Dehua and Lin Cheng met in Weiwei, they have strong work ability and deep qualifications, and they are deeply rooted in the Lin Group, if Liu Zhiping has been staying in the Lin Group for development, Liu Zhiping will undoubtedly be suppressed by Fang Dehua all the time, and his strong work ability will be wasted.
Moreover, Fang Dehua is only forty-one years old this year, which is the age of prime of life, and Liu Zhiping will have to wait for at least ten years to take over Fang Dehua's class.
In view of this, Lin Cheng simply transferred Liu Zhiping back to Xiangjiang and prepared to replace the outgoing Liang Botao as the president of Lin's Holding Group.
Liu Zhiping is naturally grateful to Lin Cheng for this, although Liu Zhiping is known as the man behind the twist vine in the original time and space, and has been working in Penguin, but he is an authentic Xiangjiang person, and now he has returned to the Lin Holding Group in Xiangjiang to take up an important position, and he is definitely returning to his hometown.
Except for Liu Zhiping's transfer from Lin's Group to Lin's Holdings, there has been no big change in other senior management of Lin's Holdings, but Zhang Tianbo, President of Lin's Real Estate Group, Fang Tianzhao, President of Lin's Shipping Group, and Chen Muzhi, President of Lin's Media Group, have been raised by half a level in the head office and concurrently serve as vice president of Lin's Holdings.
As the person in charge of the work of the New Territories New Town, Zhang Tianbo first reported: "Let me first talk about the situation in the New Territories towns, since Ms. Chan Hoi Wan became the head of the group's land purchase business, and Lin Sheng became the world's richest man, the land purchase work that has been stagnant has made considerable progress.
So far, the Group has spent a total of HK$20 billion to acquire nearly 60 square kilometres of land in Fanling, Tai Po, Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai and Sheung Shui, accounting for one-fifteenth of the total area of the New Territories.
The Group plans to build five new towns in five major districts in the New Territories, each with a maximum population of 500,000 and an estimated total population of more than 2 million. ”
Lin Cheng nodded and expressed his satisfaction, his ascension to the top of the world's richest man will naturally make the common people more confident in the Lin Holding Group, and the promises made by the common people will generally believe it.
In addition, Chen Kaiyun, who is full of affinity, serves as the director of land purchase, and directly negotiates with the village chiefs and patriarchs who control the land in the New Territories, which can be described as a combination of two swords and invincible in the world.
Although the land purchased by Lin Cheng only accounts for one-fifteenth of the land in the New Territories, it is important to know that most of the land in the New Territories is mountainous, and these 60 square kilometers of land are almost most of the plain land in the New Territories.
Looking at the two major parts of Xiangjiang except the New Territories: Xiangjiang Island and Kowloon, the area of Xiangjiang Island is only 79 square kilometers, and Kowloon is only 46 square kilometers.
Lin Cheng's 60 square kilometers of land are only slightly smaller than Xiangjiang Island but larger than Kowloon.
If all the five new cities planned for development are developed and the two million citizens of Xiangjiang Island and Kowloon are transferred to the five new cities, Lin Cheng's influence in Xiangjiang is estimated to be much worse than that of the SAR government.
Then, Lin Cheng set his eyes on Liang Botao, Liang Botao understood in seconds, and immediately reported: "The group's acquisition of Xiangjiang Citybus is progressing very smoothly, and the major shareholder of Citybus, the British Stagecoach Bus Company, originally intended to sell Citybus to launch Xiangjiang, and our Lin family and the other party happened to be willing to fight and take Citybus at a price of 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars."
However, it has to be mentioned that most of the citybus' business routes are on Xiangjiang Island, and there is a Kowloon separated from the New Territories area, so if Citybus wants to operate the New Territories route, it will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort, unless it can negotiate with Kowloon Bus to operate the route, otherwise it will face vicious competition. ”
"Kowloon Bus?" Lin Cheng is quite familiar with the name of this bus company, as if every reborn protagonist who travels to Xiangjiang will buy Kowloon Bus.
"In whose hands is Kowloon Bus now??" Lin Cheng asked directly.
"The market value of Kowloon Motor Bus is expected to be around HK$4 billion, and the largest shareholder is the Lui family of Hong Kong, whose heir, Lui Kokkun, owns 20% of the shares of Kowloon Motor Bus. ”
Lin Cheng immediately said: "Lao Liang, you immediately make an appointment with Lei Juekun to acquire his shares in Kowloon Bus at a market value premium of 5 billion, and I want to buy Kowloon Bus as well to unify the bus company in Hong Kong." ”
Liang Botao nodded and said: "This problem should not be big, now the Xiangjiang government focuses on supporting the construction of the subway, many bus companies are now almost unable to hold on, bosses, shareholders have to find someone to take over, our Lin premium acquisition of Kowloon Bus, for most shareholders is unwanted." ”
