ACN Center.

Lin Zuhui was in the office, looking at the stock price of New Era Group on the computer, and he was still very satisfied.

If other companies dare to have such high debt, the stock price will definitely perform poorly.

Taking New Era Group as an example, with a debt of 10 billion, the interest of 900 million yuan is normally 900 million yuan for a whole year, and a large amount of interest engulfs profits, and the net profit is naturally greatly reduced, so it is strange that the stock price performs well.

In another year, this will be the case with New World Development, and even Hang Lung's annual profit will not be able to outperform, and the market value will naturally lag behind."

However, this year, New Era Group has made a non-recurring profit of 1.2 billion yuan in futures index and foreign exchange, which is enough to shut up investors and stock evaluation experts. Moreover, 5 billion of the 10 billion were borrowed after the crash, and the annual interest of the New Era Group should be more than 700 million.

As for the profit in real estate, the New Era Group is also very bright this year, because it has sold more than 1 billion rent-collecting properties, which must also be regarded as non-recurring profits (to deduct costs); There is also a profit from the sale of real estate and construction, which should also be 1.3 billion ~ 1.5 billion.

Taken together, this year's annual profit is still more than 2 billion, which is at the same level as Cheung Kong and Sun Hung Kai.

And that's not including Chinese real estate!

Chinese Real Estate has sold more than 4 billion properties this year, and if you deduct the cost of purchasing that year, the profit is very considerable.

Therefore, although the two companies have high debts, their stock prices are still performing well!

Next year, there is no worry, the first is that the value of the purchased property has appreciated significantly, the second is that you can make a lot of money on oil, and the third is that the net profit on real estate has greatly increased.

After a while, Lu Donglai walked in and reminded Lin Zuhui to go to the Hong Kong sea-land container transport company.

New Era Group and sea and land container intermodal transport have communicated several times on equity transactions, and Lin Zuhui's visit has naturally entered the final negotiation stage.

.....

"Hello, Mr. Quian!"

"Mr. Lin, that's good!"

The group sat down in the conference room of sea and land container transportation!

As the head of Hong Kong for sea-land container transport, Kuian can naturally only be regarded as a small caster, but he has been authorized by the US headquarters in advance to be fully responsible for negotiations.

"Mr. Lam, I wonder if you are really sure that you will win the bid at Kwai Chung Pier No. 8 in the future?"

Lin Zuhui said seriously: "This is not necessarily, it can only be said that you try your best!" Moreover, if we acquire 50% of your equity, the main operator of Xiangjiang sea-land container transport will become our New Era Group. Given your lack of technology in container terminals, we will also strengthen our technology in this area and seek multiple allies to bid jointly. ”

Quian immediately said: "It's not that we don't have enough technology, it's that Pier 3 is too small, and our investment was not big at the beginning. But we also have an advantage, and that is in land freight. ”

Hailu is weak in the container terminal industry, but it has an advantage in the container truck transportation industry, with a large container fleet that radiates to Hong Kong and the Mainland.

"In any case, I hope that we will lead the sea and land containers, and you will assist us in managing and providing the technology. Because if you want to compete for the No. 8 container terminal, you need a lot of strength. ”

Kuian had communicated with the headquarters for a long time, and the headquarters' opinion was to give up the leading power to the New Era Group, and then follow the locals to invest.

"There's no problem with that, after all, you'll have the largest stake after the transaction is completed!"

After this aspect is negotiated, the next step is the question of price!

Kwai Chung Pier No. 3 has only one berth and a small yard area, but their land transportation network is really good. Therefore, the sea and land container transport proposed to sell it at a price of 1.22 billion, and Lin Zuhui agreed.

This price is not expensive, and if it were not for the crisis, the United States would not have agreed to this price.

On the same day, the audit and legal affairs of New Era Group were stationed in the sea and land containers, and the contract was signed that night.

......

Following.

The media in Xiangjiang disclosed the details of the transaction, which caused a lot of public opinion in Xiangjiang.

Most people believe that the development of New Era Group is too late, and it will be difficult to get a piece of the pie in the future if it enters this industry now.

However, when Li Chaoren saw the news, he immediately began to pay attention to it.

Although the sea and land container terminals are not worth mentioning, and they do not have much strength to compete for Kwai Chung No. 8 Container Terminal, Li Chaoren believes that Lin Zuhui will not give up so easily.

For a time, Li Chaoren summoned Ma Shimin of Hutchison Whampoa to discuss countermeasures.

Ma Shimin thought for a moment and said: "The two largest container companies in Xiangjiang are our International Container and Modern Container, and if the two of us join forces to bid, almost no one can snatch them. If you add another insurance and invite the Chinese enterprise Huaxia COSCO, then it will be ten out of ten stable. ”

Li Chaoren's eyes lit up, and he immediately added: "Not bad! After winning the bid, the four terminals will be divided equally, the modern container will be divided into two, and we will jointly develop the other two with Huaxia COSCO. ”

The idea of the two can be described as very good, after all, they will bring together all the powerful ones to bid together, and then divide the cake, so that it is simply a drop of defense.

Ma Shimin said: "Recently, the New Era Group is preparing for 'Times Telecom' and investing in sea and land freight, and Lin Zuhui is not small in ambition!" The territory of Xiangjiang is so big, and its rise will seriously affect our development. After all, the loss of these two projects on the top of Lantian Metro Station and Heyuan is because of him! ”

Li Chaoren nodded, agreeing with Ma Shimin's statement, but also said: "He is the owner of newspapers, magazines, and TV stations, and the Hong Kong government has to take care of him." Moreover, he is simply a villain, and he has not missed any of our good friends in the Legislative Council and the Executive Council. not only gave those councillors the robe money (to pay the salary, Xiangjiang is not illegal), but also let those councillors invest in their Hengjin No. 1 and made a lot of money. Therefore, in terms of relations with the Hong Kong government, he is no longer weaker than me. ”

Ma Shimin frowned, and said that Li Chaoren was the darling of the Hong Kong government, and there were many discounts on land prices. Unexpectedly, now another Lin Superman has come out.

"I don't think so, I recently heard that they were talking to the Hong Kong government about the land compensation fee for the Crane Garden. I believe that if the boss goes to talk, it will definitely be very cheap; But Lin Zuhui went to talk about it, and it may not be possible to do it without 4 billion! ”

Li Chaoren had no choice but to say: "Don't pay attention to it, if you lose it, you will lose it, we have already looked at the world, and he is still developing in Xiangjiang!" ”

Ma Shimin continued: "Boss, looking at the world, it doesn't mean that people are digging into our rear. This time, Jin Daxia intends to sell Ming Pao Group, you can give it a try. After all, you also need a little power of public opinion. ”

Outside citizens and reporters are not very friendly to these big real estate developers, especially the four major real estate families; After all, Lin Zuhui developed later, and he himself raised a large number of reporters.

Li Chaoren was really moved, but said worriedly: "Lin Zuhui and Jin Daxia have a great relationship, I'm afraid it won't be our turn." But.... Gotta try it! ”

.......

12 Repulse Bay.

Lin Zuhui and Lee Shau Kee came to the Zheng mansion one after another.

The two of them, the Zheng father and son, sat down in a secret room.

Li Shaoji couldn't wait to say: "Zu Hui, what are you inviting me to Ah Tong's house for?" ”

Zheng Yutong is not completely retired, and said with a smile: "I think it's for the sake of the container terminal, you are amazing, you won 50% of the equity of sea and land container intermodal transportation at one time, and became a major shareholder in one fell swoop." ”

Cheng Kar-chun added: "The price is very good! I didn't expect them to be willing to sell equity, otherwise I would have done it first! ”

Lin Zuhui saw that everyone knew what they were coming from, and it seemed that the New Era Group's investment in sea and land container intermodal transportation still attracted everyone's attention, including Li Chaoren, of course.

He said: "The reason why I was able to get the general equity of Hailu was because I promised to lead Hailu to compete for Kwai Chung Pier No. 8. ”

Everyone was very surprised, and Lee Shau Kee even said: "No. 8 Kwai Chung Container Terminal, I heard that the tender will be invited early next year, and the strength of sea and land containers has no hope of winning the bid." ”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Isn't this just finding the two of you!" ”

There was a look of interest on everyone's faces, and Zheng Jiachun said with great interest: "I think it's feasible!" The high degree of monopoly of international containers on Kwai Chung Terminal is obviously not a good market law. The three of us join forces, and there may not be no hope of winning it! ”

Zheng Yutong said calmly: "International containers, modern containers, plus us, the three competition, we are still the weakest." ”

Lin Zuhui said again: "Then you have to compete!" The container terminal is not a real estate industry, and we can continue to auction land, and if we miss this time, we will not have many opportunities. The monopoly nature of international containers is getting bigger and bigger, and we want to enter this industry in the future, and the strength is even more disparity! ”

Lee Shau Kee said: "Not bad! The earlier you enter, the more you can get a piece of the pie! ”

Zheng Yutong nodded, and Zheng Jiachun hurriedly agreed to join.

In fact, Lin Zuhui knew in his heart that it was still difficult for only three to compete with international containers and modern containers;

Therefore, he put his hope on acquiring the shares of Modern Container, as long as there is a breakthrough, it will be the strength of International Container.

......

At the same time, Li Ka-shing also visited the sick charter king, in fact, he was planning to win over modern containers.

Wharf holds 25.8% of Modern Containers, which is not its parent company, but it is also an associate; Therefore, Wharf has the greatest say in modern containers.

When Li Ka-shing proposed to cooperate and bid for the No. 8 Kwai Chung container together, Wu Guangzheng immediately agreed. After all, in his opinion, if the two join forces, no consortium can squeeze in.

Only the charter king said: "Although Lin Zuhui is young, I believe that if he really intends to bid for the No. 8 container terminal, he will also win over other consortia." ”

Li Chaoren said confidently: "Our two families have joined forces, and they don't have to worry about joining forces." Of course, we have a better chance of winning anyway, don't we? ”

Bao Yugang nodded, this time Modern Container got two terminals, and this benefit made him also very active.

In this way, the two major container giants, which account for more than ninety percent of the business of Xiangjiang Container Terminal, plan to join forces to bid and not give anyone a chance.

That's the monopoly trick!

Of course, at this time, the Hong Kong government has not officially started bidding, but as far as everyone knows, it will be tendered at the beginning of the year.

Li Superman walked out of No. 79 Deep Water Bay, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he immediately recovered.

"Hey, if it weren't for Lin Zuhui being too aggressive, I wouldn't want to come up with this strategy!"

"How many years have we been working hard in Hong Kong? He's a guy who's only come out in the last five years, and he's like he's doing everything. ”

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

Li Chaoren quickly found a reason for his gaffe just now.

......

In mid-August, the Hong Kong government announced a tender for Kwai Chung Container Terminal 8, and interested consortia could apply for registration, and the bid opening time was January 5 next year (1990).

The reason for the early release of the news is because there are many factors that need to be considered in the bidding of container terminals, and the terminal design scheme is one of the important factors. So, during this time, everyone has enough time to come up with a plan.

After the Hong Kong government released the news of the bidding, International Container and Modern Container revealed to the media that the two planned to bid jointly.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar!

This is simply not giving other consortia a way to live!

Of course, at this time, no foreign consortium was interested in this Kwai Chung No. 8 container terminal, because the situation was not very good.

Therefore, everyone's eyes are on the New Era Group, because of the stake in sea and land container transport;

Therefore, everyone thinks that Lin Zuhui is preparing for this project.

It's just that I didn't expect that the first and second container companies in Xiangjiang joined forces.

Even Lin Zuhui's allies, New World Development and Henderson seem to have the intention of withdrawing.

In fact, for Lin Zuhui, he has already reached this point.

Because in the previous life, two container companies joined forces to enter the bid, and then divided the four berths.

Modern containers are not stupid, they can work together with international containers, and they can divide it in half.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui's entire bargaining chips were pressed on the acquisition of 25% of the shares in the hands of European Shipping and British Rail.

With this 25% stake, he has no worries about Hyundai Container Terminals not defecting.

......

Lu Donglai hurriedly came to Lin Zuhui's office, with a happy look on his face, which made Lin Zuhui seem to guess something.

"Boss, the two companies of European Shipping and British Rails are relieved and willing to sell their shares! However, the asking price is a bit high, and they asked for 2.5 billion yuan to buy their 25% stake. ”

If it were the head of other consortia, he might still hesitate, but Lin Zuhui didn't care about the 500 million higher than the budget.

"Promise them! Schedule a signing as soon as possible! ”

"Okay, I'll get in touch right away!"

After Lu Donglai left, Lin Zuhui also stood up and paced in the office.

2.5 billion He is not heartbroken, and he can sell it to Wharf for at least 3 billion in the future! As for why it was not given to Wharf, because this stake was originally intended to force Hyundai Container to defect.

It is impossible for him to develop two container companies at the same time, and the debt of the new era has already started to give him headaches, after all, he will not be able to make money on oil futures until the second half of tomorrow.

In this year, if the debt continues to rise, I am afraid that the stock price will not go up.

Even now, New Era Group can't actually take out the 2.5 billion!

Originally, there were 10 billion, and the garden was ready to spend 8 billion to buy the land reserve;

There is only 2 billion left, plus 700 million yuan from the sale of the equity of the Garden Dao Diwang, plus the real estate profit, the company can only use 3 billion on the account; And just invested in sea and land freight and spent 1.2 billion, in fact, there is only 1.8 billion funds.

In the end, Lin Zuhui decided to let his family invest in the company and take all 25% of Modern Container shares. As long as the payment is agreed to be made in three months, the funds withdrawn from Japanese securities can come in handy.

Thinking of this, Lin Zuhui smiled!

International containers and modern containers, the 'good news' announced is too early, and you will know how much you will be slapped in the face later.
