Since the beginning of July, the real estate in Xiangjiang has fallen to a low point, and the market is full of cheap 'building industrial raw materials', and Lin Zuhui, who sits in the office of the New Era Group, will smile and look at the transaction contracts every day.

A land exchange contract worth 30 million yuan was also recovered from the heirs of the Canadian estate, and the unit price was only 750 yuan per square foot, which was ridiculously cheap.

At this time, the New Territories land exchange rights and interests were the most indifferent and became uncared for, and this situation may continue until the end of the year. Of course, with the joining of the New Era Group, it is natural to join a strong buyer. But if anyone wants to sit on the ground and start the price, the New Era Group will immediately turn around, and there are many cheap land in the market, and they will not buy it at a premium at all.

The properties acquired by Lin Zuhui at a premium are all well-known and high-quality properties, and their owners had no intention of selling them immediately, thinking that they would wait for the real estate to recover a little before selling; Therefore, he doesn't mind the acquisition at a premium of one or two percent, that is, a premium of three percent, and he will make a steady profit after a year.

The office of Chinese Estates.

Lin Zuhui looked at a sorted out information with relish, and his eyes were full of desire to buy; This information is a table of Hongkong Land's non-Central properties, i.e. a commercial building and seven shopping malls.

Causeway Bay World Trade Center Tower: Located at 280 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay, it is a 38-storey building with a floor area of 480,000 square feet; The two basement floors are parking lots, the 1~4 floors are shopping malls, the 5~8 floors are tea restaurants, restaurants, etc., and the 9~38 floors are office buildings. Facing the entrance of the Hong Kong Harbour Crossing and the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter, the World Trade Center is next to the Excelsior Hotel (owned by Jardine Matheson), and the ground floor is a pedestrian subway leading to the Jardine Afternoon Cannon opposite Gloucester Road, which has been named 'Langham Place Hong Kong Island'.

The seven shopping malls are: Silvercord Centre (adjacent to Harbour City, located on the east side) and Excelsior Mall (North Point.......

Just looking at the information, Lin Zuhui is already very hot-eyed! These malls all have a high retail status, and are far from the small malls that Chinese Estates used to sell.

The Causeway Bay World Trade Center is comparable to the later Times Square, but Times Square is just three buildings.

The total price given by the analyst of the marketing department of Chinese Estates is: 3.9 billion

It was much lower than Lin Zuhui's expectations, of which the price given by the World Trade Center was only 1.4 billion, and the total price of the seven shopping malls was only 2.5 billion.

Of course, the analyst uses the current price to make the valuation, but if this price is reported, Simon Keswick may not even meet Lin Zuhui.

Lin Zuhui set the price of the World Trade Tower at 1.55 billion yuan, and the seven shopping mall properties at 2.8 billion yuan, and planned to make quotations. This price will not come and go too much, and Hongkong Land will not open its mouth, after all, it must echo the current market situation.

The worst possibility is that Hongkong Land will plan to sell later, but because Lin Zuhui proposed to buy it first, they will still give priority to Chinese real estate. Unless someone joins and maliciously offers a high price, Chinese Estates may be eliminated.

The current market situation is:

Hong Kong's tourism industry will be greatly sluggish, and business people understand the seriousness of the problem, and they are even very pessimistic about the future. Based on this consideration, the depreciation of shopping malls and shopping malls in Hong Kong is certain.

The large withdrawal of foreign capital in Hong Kong is also very obvious, and the owners of office buildings also understand that it is normal for rents to fall by 30%, and importantly, the vacancy rate has begun to increase substantially. The future of the development of the entire office building is very unclear.

Therefore, although the real estate can be restored in one year (only the protagonist knows), the office buildings and shopping malls will not explode until 1992 (reopening).

Therefore, even next year and the year after, these two investments will still not be too exaggerated.

In summary, Lin Zuhui will not be the wronged leader again this time, and the premium will be 20% at most.

Since owning the 'Garden Authentic King' and 'Central Land King', Lin Zuhui no longer looks like a tycoon who has never seen the world, and he has many high-quality properties, which are no longer so rare.

Not only that, there are several big projects in Xiangjiang in the future, why should he be so greedy!

After the 90s, he not only had to go out of Hong Kong to invest, but also to reshape his image.

......

Hongkong Land.

The expression on Simon Keswick's face was stunned, Guy Lin Zuhui personally sent an offer to the door, and he didn't release any news to sell! But as soon as he thought of the previous cooperation, he understood that this was the wool picker who had calculated that Hongkong Land was going to relocate and stared at Hongkong Land.

"Lin Sheng, you will seize the opportunity, once the real estate plummets, you will take the initiative to seek to buy a property. Your cheap means make me admire it so much! Simon Keswick said playfully.

Lin Zuhui didn't feel 'ashamed' at all, but said: "Mr. Simon said it was funny! In the past, when we bought Hongkong Land's properties, we didn't pick up the leaks after the crash, and we bought them at a normal level and at a premium. As for this time, when something like this happens, I'm just coming to Hongkong Land to ask if it's intended to sell. After all, Xiangjiang's tourism industry is starting to slump and foreign capital is beginning to withdraw, and it makes sense for me to make this analysis! ”

Simon Keswick heard this, then nodded, Lin Zuhui's words have some truth, since 1984, Xiangjiang has not really plummeted, even after the 87 stock market crash, high-quality properties have only fallen by 10%, there is no leakage.

"Lin Sheng is not optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang either?"

"No, I'm optimistic! Because I am from Xiangjiang, I have nowhere to go, and my ability to invest overseas is weak, so I must be optimistic about the development of Xiangjiang. I can afford to wait for a year, two years, three years! This time, I made an offer with the intention of buying at a premium. Therefore, if Mr. Simon is interested in selling these properties, he may wish to communicate with each other and strive for a mutually satisfactory result. ”

Lin Zuhui said this, which meant that the price could be raised, and Simon Keswick's face immediately eased. This is a quality property for sale, and it is a very good object for Jardine Matheson who is in a hurry to relocate.

As for the price, Hongkong Land will be released only if it is satisfied!

As for Lin Zuhui's side, naturally he will not give it too high stupidly, as long as it is reasonable.

"Mr. Lim, rest assured, if we want to sell the property you wish to sell, we will give priority to you Chinese real estate. But as you know, it's a bit of a sudden, and we need the company to talk about it. ”

"No problem! We are willing to wait and buy at any time! ”

He is not worried about whether the land will not be sold, because office buildings and shopping malls will not improve for a year or two. Hongkong Land was constantly panicking, after all, the 50s were almost wiped out, and the Keswick family was bound to evacuate Xiangjiang in a hurry.

In fact, Hongkong Land also has a high-quality property that can be sold, that is, 9 Queen's Road in Central District, which is under construction; The 38-storey property has a floor area of nearly 400,000 square feet, and was sold for $3.8 billion in 1992.

Lin Zuhui plans to wait for the 90s to propose to buy, and he has to buy it at a premium, after all, this building has a good location, beautiful architecture, and adopts the architectural characteristics of Chinese and Western essences, which is very valuable to buy.

.......

The marketing staff of New Era Group are like hunting dogs, frantically searching for the land and property in the market. And Lin Zuhui also quickly gained a lot and bought a lot of high-quality villas.

On this day, he got another piece of information that Pang Yalun, chairman of Benda Group, was ready to sell 1 Pak Ka Road. Lin Zuhui did not hesitate to send someone to contact him, and quickly won it for 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

It's so cheap, the current villa is like picking up money! Owned by foreign tycoons, they want to cash out and leave; Owned by the Chinese billionaires, they want to cash out immigrants.

The offices of ACN Center.

Lin Zuhui didn't put too much energy into buying high-quality properties, now you can buy them with money, so why worry!

Instead, he began to think about the expansion of the New Era Group!

The achievements of the New Era Group in real estate/real estate have now surpassed Cheung Kong and Sun Hung Kai and become the well-deserved real estate overlord of Xiangjiang (high debt is not to be discussed).

But in terms of influence, it is still much lower than Cheung Kong, and it can only compete with Sun Hung Kai.

The fundamental reason for this is that New Era Group has either just started or has not yet set foot in container terminals, telecommunications, infrastructure, retail, energy and other businesses.

Therefore, he and Li Chaoren's strength in the business community in Xiangjiang still has a big shortcoming.

Lin Zuhui sat at his office desk and gently wrote 'container terminal' and 'telecommunications' on the paper with a pen.

In the short term, telecommunications cannot enter, because it has to wait for the Hong Kong government to bid, and New Era Group has been preparing; For example, through the relationship of International Treasure Connect, it will obtain the participation of companies with technology in the United States, and once the Hong Kong government bids, the New Era Group will strongly intervene in the telecommunications industry.

Eventually, he crossed out the telecommunications, leaving only the 'container terminal', and began to think about the situation at the Heung Kong Container Terminal:

Hong Kong has the world's largest independent merchant fleet and the world's largest private container terminal.

The Hong Kong Container Terminal, centred on Kwai Chung, was tendered for construction in 1970. In 1972, the Kwai Chung Container Terminal was officially opened; By 1976, a total of 5 wharves (6 berths) were put into use; In 1988, the first berth of Pier 6 was completed and put into operation. Hong Kong Container Terminals is known as the world's four largest container ports, along with New York in the United States, Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Singapore. In the future, it will surpass the other three ports to rank first in the world, and then rank first in the world's first container port for many years.

Hong Kong's terminal stevedoring, warehousing and transportation industry is owned and operated independently by private companies under the management of the government. Kwai Chung Terminals is mainly operated by Hongkong International Container Terminals Corporation (Hutchison Whampoa), Modern Container Terminals Corporation (Wharf 25.8%) and Land-Sea Intermodal Container Terminals Company (USA). By the end of the first half of 1989, Hongkong International Terminals Company had three terminals (10 berths) No. 4, No. 6 and No. 7; Modern Container Terminals has three terminals, No. 1, No. 2 and No. 5; The Sea and Land Container Terminal Intermodal Company (USA) has Pier 3.

There is also an Asian container company, New World holds a 39% stake, and has invested in the construction of Asia's largest container distribution center at Kwai Chung Container Terminal 3, with an area of 5.9 million square feet, which is the world's largest multi-storey direct container freight warehouse building, and New World also holds a 13% stake in sea and land containers.

"If you want to enter this field in the new era, you must either start with modern containers or sea and land containers!"

"Wharf only holds 25.8% of Modern Containers, while Europe Shipping and Rail Shipping have 25%, China Merchants 20.3%, Swire 17.65%, HSBC 6.3% and Jebsen & Co. 4.9%."

"Although there is only one terminal, it is weak in the container terminal industry, but it has an advantage in the container truck transportation industry, which has a large container fleet and its business scope radiates to Hong Kong and the Mainland. Moreover, the major shareholder of sea and land freight is the United States sea and land terminals, holding 87% of the shares. And now, the relationship between China and the United States has dropped to the freezing point, and the United States sea and land may not have the idea of selling equity, as long as the price is generous! ”

After some consideration, Lin Zuhui planned to make two bets, that is, to consider taking over his shares from European Shipping and British Iron Steamship, and to consider buying most of his shares from sea and land containers.

The reason why he did this is because he plans to unite the two consortia and beat Hutchison Whampoa in the bidding for Container Terminal 8 in Kwai Chung next year, and grab four berths at Pier 8, and then let the two consortia split two each.

As for the future No. 9 container terminal and the first inland river terminal in Tuen Mun, these two major projects must also be won!

In short, it is to rush to remember Whampoa and unite all the forces that can be united.

Thinking of this, Lin Zuhui is ambitious!

In terms of capital, he personally has a cash flow of 20 billion (6.5 billion in debt);

In terms of influence, he is immediately the only newspaper giant in Xiangjiang and the boss behind ATV;

Whether it is the Hong Kong government, the mainland, or even the United Kingdom, which is far away in Europe, can see the huge influence and potential from him, and it is inevitable to win him over.

What's more, the No. 8 container terminal is a high-priced bid, and only the No. 9 container will be the network of all parties in the future.

When the bidding for Container 9 and Tuen Mun River Container Terminal is invited, his influence is no worse than that of Li Chaoren, and he is not afraid of it when the time comes.

To sum up, unite everyone to resist the monopoly behavior of international containers, and beat Li Superman to death.

There can only be one superman in Xiangjiang, and that is Lin Superman.

After a while, Lin Zuhui was relieved, and if he wanted to meddle in the container terminal, he first had to buy the equity of several foreign companies.

In this way, he can unite New World, Henderson, Wharf, etc., and only then can he be qualified to speak.
