Chapter 319: [New Year]
Time flies, and it comes to New Year's Day in 1989.
The 'Hui Yuan' villa complex on South Bay Road officially ushered in its owners, and it was not lively for a while. In fact, it can be said to be very peaceful, after all, it has an area of 50,000 square feet, and the eight villas are all detached.
Each of the seven daughters lives in a villa, and 23 servants are arranged, and there is one more servant for those who have children; It seems that everyone is a little independent, but the entire villa complex has a professional housekeeper who can deploy troops.
The only inconvenience is that when he goes to bed at night, Lin Zuhui may spend some time thinking about 'merging the buildings', and the two or three buildings are combined into one bedroom.
It's not that he's greedy, it's that he thinks about a problem: give you a gun, although there is only one bullet in the gun, but it can subdue three people. Even if I tell the three of them that I only have one bullet in my gun, the three of them can only beg for mercy!
And he only has four or five bullets a week, so naturally he has to cherish every bullet and subdue more enemies.
In the morning, under the organization of the housekeeper Sister Fen, a housewarming ceremony was held, officially announcing that the Lin family had entered the 'Huiyuan Villa Group'.
For a while, the seven girls each walked into their own villas, and Lin Zuhui did not have a specific one, and the male owners of the seven buildings were all him.
After moving into the 'Wai Yuen Villas' on South Bay Road, Lam Cho-fai is ready to sell the three villas on Repulse Bay Road in February. The reason is very simple, this kind of small single-family villa, there are so eight are enough.
Next, he plans to buy a luxury villa with a higher value as a foundation for the family.
For example, the mansions on the top of the mountain, such as villas such as No. 66 Deep Water Bay and No. 4 Repulse Bay, are worth cherishing.
What's more, the villa on Repulse Bay Road that was sold in February this year can make a lot of money if it is sold!
After the crash, wouldn't it be better to take the money and invest in the property.
At noon, everyone still gathered in Block A to eat together, after all, this is a good way to cultivate a family team. You have your own private space, but you have to be together.
Lin Zuhui raised his glass and said happily: "It's a new year, come, let's raise a glass and wish everything to go well this year!" ”
All the women looked at Lin Zuhui with smiles on their faces, their eyes were full of affection, this man was so energetic!
Everyone toasts together, Lin Zuhui chose to drink it all, today is a good day, and this year is also a watershed in his career, so he is now fighting every day to study how to conduct business before and after the crash.
The housekeeper Sister Fen personally went into battle and organized the maids to eat for everyone, and after the saddle, it was different to receive British housekeeper training, which could always satisfy Lin Zuhui in all aspects. In the past, the servants went their own way, and it was inevitable that they would need the master's instructions to do something.
"It's time to add five or six this year, right?" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Qiu Shuzhen and Li Jiaxin, Qiu Shuzhen nodded obediently, and the expression on Li Jiaxin's face was a little hesitant.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "It's Cai Ning and Shuzhen!" ”
Cai Ning's physique is good, and all conditions are suitable for birth and raising, plus it has been 20 months, so he can completely recreate people.
Li Jiaxin breathed a sigh of relief, Cai Ning showed surprise on her face, and the two girls had different ideas.
Seeing Li Jiaxin's expression, Lin Zuhui planned to tease: "By the way, a small part of the funds I invested overseas this year can be withdrawn." I've made hundreds of millions of dollars, so I'm going to give each of you a super villa. However, considering the fact that quality properties are hard to find, Mr. is first served! ”
Li Jiaxin hurriedly said: "What kind of super villa? ”
After Lin Zuhui briefly described it, Li Jiaxin suddenly began to be depressed, and underestimated: "I can't survive yet, and I deliberately use words to provoke me!" She is not stupid, so she can naturally see Lin Zuhui's ridicule.
Everyone laughed, the sixth wife is a big money fan, and the second wife is also a big money fan.
The more beautiful they are, the more they love money, because they have that confidence!
......
The next day, Monday.
Lin Zuhui summoned Chen Bin, Liang Zhenxun, Chen Xiaofen, and Gao Yi to his office.
"You count the rent-collecting properties of the two companies, and list the scattered and inefficient rent-collecting properties for me! It does not include entire buildings, shopping malls, and properties with an office area of more than 10,000 square feet on the whole floor, and the rest are considered. Make the form a little more detailed, and then show it to me! ”
Everyone felt a pang in their hearts and seemed to understand something, but the boss didn't say it explicitly, and everyone could only put it in their hearts.
"Okay, boss!" Everyone said in unison.
Lin Zuhui said to Chen Xiaofen again: "In the first four months of this year, to speed up the sale of residential buildings, we need to repay debts and return funds!" ”
Chen Xiaofen said: "No problem, I will speed up the return of funds and make every effort to sell real estate that can be off-plan!" ”
Lin Zuhui added: "It doesn't hurt to increase the proportion of pre-sale properties! ”
If you say, who is a master of selling pre-sale real estate developers, of course, it is Li Cucumber, who knows the resources of many agents and speculators.
"I see!"
Then, Lin Zuhui said to Chen Bin: "I will cut off half of the real estate that is ready to start construction, and I will wait for me to notify when it will be restored!" ”
In September last year, Lin Zuhui had already notified Chen Bin that the construction of the reduced property was reduced by half. Now it has been cut in half, a full 75% reduction in projections. Of course, wait until June this year to start again, and that's fine!
The main reason is to avoid the second half of this year, and the first half of next year, not many people buy houses, and real estate transactions are sluggish.
In the second half of 1990, when the prices of real estate returned to before the crash, the real estate that started construction in June this year happened to be launched quickly.
Of course, during the real estate slump, New Era Group also had a lot of real estate sales, but the pressure was not so great. After all, once the construction of the site starts, it means that a loan is needed, which means that interest is generated every day.
Chen Bin naturally won't ask too much, the boss has a very general view of the real estate and securities cycle.
"No problem, I'll arrange it right away!"
Lin Zuhui said again: "At tomorrow's auction, Gao Yi and Liang Zhenxun will accompany me!" ”
Everyone nodded, they didn't make it, and they still wrote about loss in their hearts, after all, it was a 'land king' auction, not to mention that the boss went with the determination to win.
After everyone left, Lin Zuhui was still thinking.
The sale of a large number of properties, the two companies may return 3 billion funds, of course, these money will not be used to repay debts, but to stay in the account, waiting for the bottom after the crash.
As for the debt, of course, it is repaid with the company's profits. He is not heartbroken at all about the interest of hundreds of millions of dollars per year, and I believe that investors will not be heartbroken for two reasons: the value of the purchased property has greatly appreciated, and the net assets per share have appreciated greatly; The two companies basically invest in the securities industry every year, and the money they earn is basically enough to repay the interest.
.......
Tuesday, January 3.
The auction house on the island has gathered a large number of wealthy businessmen and reporters, and the official auction of 'Wan Chai Land King' today can be described as a major event in the real estate industry of Hong Kong, and it is also a major event affecting the real estate pattern.
Once the auction price is sky-high, it means that real estate developers are optimistic about the future of the real estate market, and the housing prices in Hong Kong will immediately start to rise again.
Therefore, some people say that the auction of the 'land king' is the 'barometer' of the real estate industry, which is not false at all. Except for emergencies
When Lin Zuhui came to the scene, many reporters begged him to be interviewed, he was originally the king of the media, so he would naturally say more or less, which can be regarded as supporting the work of reporters.
"Lin Sheng, are you really bound to win?"
"All I can say is 'wait and see', today's bidding must be fierce, we'll see!"
There are two meanings to this: first, it means that he is full of faith; Second, it will fetch a sky-high price today.
After a brief two-sentence interview, Lin Zuhui walked into the auction under the escort of his bodyguards.
As soon as Lee Shau Kee saw Lin Zuhui coming, he put aside his colleagues who were chatting and walked towards Lin Zuhui, as if he had found a team.
"Fourth uncle, is it early?" Lin Zuhui greeted.
Li Shaoji said with a smile: "Just a little earlier than you, it seems that you are in good spirits, but Huang Tingfang over there is a little worried!" ”
In fact, Lee Shau Kee also communicated with Lin Zuhui many times in advance about the idea of developing this land. Of course, it is mainly Lin Zuhui who is planning, and Lee Shau Kee has added some of his own opinions.
When he heard that Lin Zuhui planned to build the tallest building in Asia and the world's top ten architectural representatives, Lee Shau Kee knew that Lin Zuhui would win today at a sky-high price!
Lin Zuhui also revealed that if the price is too high, Lee Shau Kee can withdraw at any time, so as not to feel that the investment is too large. Lee Shau Kee naturally swore to follow, after all, he was also very enthusiastic about this future building, although it was only 20% of the rights.
You must know that the rent of Exchange Square this year has almost exceeded 80 yuan per square foot; Even if it is other buildings in Central, it is only 5,060 yuan per square foot, which is limited to first-class buildings. All in all, if the building is more famous, the higher the construction cost, and the rent is much higher. For example, the rent of ACN Centre in Admiralty has risen to $4,850 this year, which is higher than the $40 level in Wan Chai.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "In their eyes, this piece of land is valuable; But in my eyes, this piece of land is priceless, because it is my dream. Of course, I have sufficient financial strength and am not afraid of everyone competing! ”
Lee Shau-kee felt a pang in his heart, everyone was rumoring that Lin Zuhui had a way to open a bank, so he continued to invest his personal funds in the development of Xiangjiang Real Estate.
Thinking of this, Lee Shau Kee felt a little turbulent in his heart, his Henderson Real Estate has always rarely even participated in official land auctions. The company's land bank is mainly through the purchase of land exchange rights, mergers and acquisitions of overseas Chinese, three channels.
This time, he proposed to participate in the 'Wan Chai Land King' entirely because he saw the shining point from Lin Zuhui. probably thinks that Lin Zuhui has the successful experience of 'Chinese real estate', and planning this project will also be very profitable.
The two chatted for a few words, and many real estate developers came up to chat.
The first one to come up is Zheng Kar-chun, who officially took office yesterday, of course, he is only the director and general manager, and Zheng Yutong is still the chairman of the board of directors, but he can already fully control the affairs of the development of the new world.
"Everyone regards you as a competitor, I'm afraid you're not going to have an easy time today!"
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, those who can participate in the end today are all powerful real estate developers, so naturally they will not do anything to deliberately raise prices." Everyone really hopes to win him, just right, fair bidding, and the result is convincing. ”
Zheng Jiachun nodded, chatted briefly and left, now is business time.
Lin Zuhui began to greet everyone one by one, and Li Chaoren personally participated this time, which just confirmed the characteristics of Changshi; That is, for small and medium-sized projects, Nian Mao participated in the auction, and Li Chaoren participated in the important auction.
However, in the auction, Li Chaoren has nothing to shine in, but he is very outstanding.
In this life, Lin Zuhui will certainly not let Li Cucumber pick up the leak, after all, he is the person who is most familiar with the trend of Xiangjiang Real Estate, and he should pick up the leak by himself.
The big friends who are at the auction are, of course, the Nanyang consortium - the Ng Teng Fong family and its Sino Real Estate.
So, today is actually a rivalry between Lin Zuhui and Huang Tingfang!
