Chapter 168 [Deep Water Bay No. 75] (Ask for subscription!) )
Monday, July 21.
Lin Zuhui came to New Era Real Estate early, and first picked up the newspaper prepared by the assistant and read it.
The Hang Seng Index closed at 1,760 points last week, which surprised Lin Zuhui, and basically ran below 1,800 points throughout July, and even as low as 1,730 at one point; If it weren't for Lin Zuhui's belief that history would not change so much, he would be a little panicked now!
At this time, nearly half of his net worth was invested in the stock market, which was comparable to a 'big gamble'.
The next news made Lin Zuhui feel a little funny: Huang Yulang claimed to be worth 240 million Hong Kong dollars, and the Wall Street Journal called him a prodigy who 'drew a rainbow'.
Another media exposed: Huang Yulang heard the report of the "Wall Street Journal", and he didn't know where he was for a while, and proclaimed himself "Yulang Emperor" to his employees, and the whole group was "Yulang Empire", and even planned to build "Imperial Printing Factory".
Lin Zuhui couldn't help laughing, he was thinking that although Huang Yulang's Yulang Books could still raise funds through a large rights issue after it was listed, because Huang Yulang held 75% of the shares of the listed company and only 25% of the public shares, the rights issue just allowed him to dilute the shares (the major shareholders did not supply and gave it to other investors); However, "Daily Daily", "News Building", "Fresh Weekly" and other industries that originally belonged to Huang Yulang have been eaten by Lin Zuhui in advance, how should he expand his Yulang empire?
and his 'apprentice' Ma Rongcheng, Wanhui Media is also in contact to discuss the conditions of cooperation, and Wanhui Media will also enter the comics industry at that time.
Next, Lin Zuhui saw another piece of news: Swire Properties won the No. 2 lot of Admiralty Bingfang at a price of 1.1 billion, with an area of 172,000 square feet.
As early as April 1985, Swire Properties acquired Lot 1 of Admiralty Arsenal for more than 700 million yuan, covering an area of more than 110,000 square feet. Now with the addition of Lot 2, it is equivalent to their occupation of more than 280,000 land in the Admiralty Barracks.
Such a large plot of land is the famous 'Pacific Place', which is home to three first-class hotels, two first-class office towers, and a sprawling shopping mall.
The feeling of envy is in words.
Lin Zuhui could only stare dryly, if he gave himself another two or three years, he believed that he still had hope.
"I remember that in the 90s, Swire Properties bought the South China Morning Post Building and Toppan Building in Quarry Bay, and there was a chance to grab it!" A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Zuhui's mouth.
However, this is not an easy task, the purchase of a building requires a huge amount of money, and the payback date is very long, and the interest on the loan will eat up the rent; Because of this, even an elder like Li Chaoren doesn't have many buildings in his hands to lease.
In the seventies and eighties, these elders developed a number of high-quality buildings, all for the purpose of sale. For example, Li Chaoren won the bid for the Global Building of the Central MTR Station, the Haifu Building of Admiralty Station, and the Wan Lizabeth Building and the Locke Building, which were rebuilt by British American Tobacco, all of which were sold and a large amount of development funds were returned.
Looking at the news in the newspaper, Lin Zuhui was also thinking about how he should catch up with the four major families and the top ten chaebols.
At this time, his development is already a little more powerful than Da Liu in the same period in his previous life, after all, the market value of real estate in the new era is far higher than that of Aimei, and it is impossible for Chinese real estate to be the mother of the child.
In the morning, Li Hongming from HSBC's foreign exchange department called, and USD/JPY had fallen to 155.5 points.
"Okay, help me close the position, thank you!"
Lin Zuhui did not hesitate to instruct Li Hongming to close the position, and then leaned back in the chair, his face showing reluctance.
This wave of USD/JPY began to fall from a peak of 262 points, and in less than a year and a half, it fell to 155 points, which can be described as a real 'secret to making a fortune'.
But after this wave, Lin Zuhui's investment in USD/JPY will be suspended, although there will be repeated turmoil in the future, but after all, it is a game of predators, and he does not dare to participate rashly.
He invests in foreign exchange, gold, and oil, and only dares to invest in sudden events such as the 'Plaza Accord', because this is an irreversible trend, and he is not worried about being sniped.
However, after the August 7 stock market crash, the yen appreciated again, and USD/JPY fell from above 150 points to 120 points at the end of 1988. You can participate in this wave of market a little, but you can't be greedy, Lin Zuhui thought in his heart.
Liang Zhenxun came to Lin Zuhui's office and reported: "Boss, all the futures contracts were bought, a total of 5,500 contracts, and it took 15 trading days and nearly 100 million margins. ”
Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Well, the next thing is to see how the stock market develops!" Our entire New Era Real Estate Department has invested a lot in the stock market, and the two companies of New Era and ACN have invested 1.5 billion yuan (principal of 300 million) in stocks, and the futures index contract is 500 million yuan (principal of 100 million). ”
Liang Zhenxun said with a smile: "The boss is full of confidence, and the stock market will definitely rise soon!" ”
It seems that there are a lot of investments, but in fact, they are all leveraged investments, and it is true that they are risky.
However, judging from the size of the entire group, even if these funds are lost, they are not fatal enough, but they will affect the company's reputation.
Lin Zuhui rubbed his temples, for the rapid development of the company, he was heartbroken.
"By the way, what about our investment in industrial buildings?"
"Very good! The value of 350 million industrial buildings we purchased last year (20% down payment) has risen significantly, coupled with the fact that the industrial buildings in Xiangjiang are already very tight, I expect to get a net profit of 150 million ~ 200 million yuan by the end of the year. ”
Lin Zuhui showed a smile, he asked New Era Real Estate to take 70 million funds to speculate in industrial buildings, but he didn't expect that in a little more than a year, he could make a profit of more than twice as much, and this investment seems to be good!
It seems that leveraged property speculation is also a shortcut to make a fortune!
In Xiangjiang, there are countless billionaires who rely on leverage to speculate in the city gate.
Some time ago, Lin Zuhui was on his own construction site and met an interesting new immigrant Yang Yongqiang.
He applied to immigrate to Xiangjiang in 1976, and when he first arrived in Xiangjiang, Yang Yongqiang worked as a site worker in a relative's contracted project, with a daily salary of only 15 yuan; Because of his hard work, he quickly achieved the judgment (contract foreman).
In 1978, Yang Yongqiang spent 8,000 yuan to buy a wooden house in Diamond Hill to live in, and in 1981 he sold it at a high price and obtained 40,000 yuan in cash, making a profit of more than four times.
Therefore, Yang Yongqiang came to his senses.
In order to accumulate sufficient capital, Yang Yongqiang continued to underwrite projects from construction companies; In 1985, he already had enough capital, and then he specialized in high-rollers in the Huangpu Garden, making a lot of money.
A down payment of only 10%-15% for an uncompleted property is only HK$600 to HK$700 per square foot when Whampoa Garden started selling off-plan properties in April 1985. More than a year later, the price of Whampoa Garden has risen to more than 1,000 yuan per square foot, and if calculated according to the down payment of 15%, Yang Yongqiang has made more than four times the profit.
Yang Yongqiang is using these funds to build an industrial building; At the current pace, he may make another big profit in this wave of industrial building surge.
Yang Yongqiang's experience is definitely a 'legend' among new immigrants!
There are many examples of new immigrants in the mainland, such as Yang Yongqiang, but there were no top rich people of new immigrants in the previous life.
Today, Lin Zuhui has become their leader, idol, and their goal. Everyone knows that Lin Zuhui is a new immigrant in 1979, so he is a god-like existence among hundreds of thousands of new immigrants, and his status is higher than Li Chaoren.
"Let's do this first, the company will concentrate on developing new real estate, and digest the rest for the time being." Lin Zuhui said with a final word.
"Okay!"
If you don't digest it, you can't do it, because there are not many funds in the real estate account in the new era, even if Lin Zuhui wants to give full play, he is still strong and insufficient.
In the afternoon, Li Hongming of the HSBC foreign exchange department called, Lin Zuhui's foreign exchange has been successfully closed, deducting commissions and taxes, he has made a total profit of 70 million and returned 120 million funds.
"Okay, I'll pick up the check tomorrow!"
In an instant, Lin Zuhui returned to being a billionaire, and his cash flow was more than 130 million.
......
75 Deep Water Bay.
Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin came to this old-fashioned villa covering an area of more than 20,000 square feet, and just recently, Lin Zuhui bought it from a British-funded foreign firm at a price of 45 million.
It's very cheap, and it's still a 'deserted' hillside.
Strictly speaking, the geographical location of Deep Water Bay is not as superior as Repulse Bay, and the reason why it can be as famous as Repulse Bay in later generations is that Li Chaoren, Charter King, Kadoorie, Xu Shixun and others live here, and the effect of celebrities has driven the housing prices of Deep Water Bay.
And the 75 Deep Water Bay purchased by Lin Zuhui is actually very old and needs to be rebuilt at a huge cost.
Holding Wang Lingyin, who was a young woman for the first time, Lin Zuhui tirelessly introduced his idea of reconstruction;
Because he is a real estate developer and has a certain design foundation, the villa depicted makes Wang Lingyin fascinated.
"Brother Hui, can we really have a wedding in a villa like that?" Wang Lingyin yearned.
"No problem! If the design and construction start this year, it is expected to be ready for occupancy in 1990. At that time, you will be in your third year of college, so there is no problem in getting married and having children! Lin Zuhui made no secret of his idea of building a family.
It can be said that Lin Zuhui's prediction is that Wang Lingyin will be pregnant with his child in 1989, and she will get married and have children in college.
As for Xiangjiang University, it's a big deal to donate some money, the school won't embarrass Wang Lingyin, and the graduation certificate can be sent to her home. Of course, Wang Lingyin's grades are very good, and he usually won't go through too much of a back door.
Although Lin Zuhui likes Wang Lingyin, he must also be selfish and consider the inheritance of the family, so it is inevitable to be young and create more people.
Although Wang Lingyin was young, she was already deeply influenced by Lin Zuhui, and said happily: "Of course I have no problem, I will listen to you." I can't wait to be two years older so that I can complete the inheritance for Brother Hui as soon as possible! ”
Lin Zuhui stroked Wang Lingyin's hair and said dotingly: "Don't worry, I will only turn 22 years old in December this year, and I can wait for you for three years!" ”
Indeed, he is still young!
Wang Lingyin seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "Actually, you can let Sister Ning and them have a child first, and I won't care!" ”
She can see from Lin Zuhui's arrangement that Lin Zuhui is taking real estate and media as the main house assets, and the fashion empire is arranged for Sister Guan and Sister Ning; As for Sister Zuxian's career, Brother Hui may not have remembered it yet.
In short, she believes that Brother Hui has a long-term plan for doing things, and no one can change it.
Therefore, it is the best 'fight' if she does not fight.
What's more, her brother Hui is not yet 22 years old, and her future achievements are too great, and she doesn't need to fight to annoy him.
Lin Zuhui patted Wang Lingyin's hand and said, "I'll think about it!" ”
To be honest, he also cares about his own heirs!
If he is very strong in that aspect, ridiculously strong, but if he can't grow it, then he should really want to cry without tears.
Therefore, he is also thinking about the question of whether the activity is good or not.
Thinking of this question, Lin Zuhui couldn't help but think of Wang Dehui, who is also a rich man, this is really miserable; It doesn't matter if there are no offspring, and later they were kidnapped and killed.
You must know that Gong Xinru was worth 25 billion in the mid-nineties, tied with Huo Yingdong for fifth on the super billionaire list.
A big reason why Wang Dehui has been kidnapped repeatedly is that he has money and no power.
Think about it, there are two situations that are unlikely to fall prey to kidnappers: the rich and powerful, and the rich and powerful.
The purpose of the kidnappers is to ask for money, what is the use of kidnapping the poor? The kidnappers want money, but the powerful rich people, the kidnappers don't dare to do it easily.
Wang Dehui's wealth was more than a dozen Chinese before the 90s, but he never held any public office or received any honor; He has no contact with the political circles, the business circles, and even the Shanghai Gang, and he has hundreds of millions of dollars in his pocket, but he has never made any charitable donations, and he has no social foundation.
In addition, Wang Dehui is never exposed in public and in the media, and the public is extremely unfamiliar with Wang Dehui's face, which is convenient for kidnappers to hijack.
In this way, Wang Dehui is of course the most ideal 'meat ginseng'.
Lin Zuhui is not worried about having kidnappers target him, after all:
one, kidnapped him, no one raised money to ransom him, and he was not married;
Second, although he is rich, he is a stock in the eyes of outsiders;
Third, he is not only rich, but also powerful, his power has his own 'media influence', and he also has the elders he has befriended.
Fourth, most importantly, he firmly believes that if he breaks out, he can wipe out the kidnappers, and his body is a secret weapon.
Of course, he still attaches great importance to his own security issues, and has a team of eight bodyguards and advanced foreign security equipment.
......
Regarding the reconstruction of Deep Water Bay No. 75, Lin Zuhui specially asked New Era Real Estate to set up a responsible team; As for the required funds, including the 45 million yuan for the purchase of the original site, he mortgaged Wanhui Media's shares to obtain a loan of 80 million yuan to pay for it.
As for the 130 million funds in his hand, he then began to buy the September futures contract;
He wants to eat enough and eat enough before the 87 stock market disaster; Otherwise, his future development will be limited.
Don't look at it, it's not very difficult for him to come up with hundreds of millions of cash now, but in fact, that money is nothing, and the four major families are already worth tens of billions; A high-quality building is more than 1 billion, and he doesn't even have the money to buy a building.
At the same time, the Hang Seng Index has been rising since July 21, rising 4% in a week.
Lin Zuhui guessed that the market should be coming.
In his memory, it rose to 2,500 points at the end of the year, and now it is only more than 1,800 points, and it is time to enter a period of skyrocketing in the next five months.
The rise in the stock market will not only lead to an increase in his personal wealth, but also several of his companies will benefit immensely.
Compared with traditional businessmen, Lin Zuhui's biggest advantage is that he will use the stock market to raise funds, and he is also very sought after by shareholders and investors.
So the big market is coming, which means that his company should also develop.
