Chapter 354 [Reshaping Image]
Friday, August 18.
The media reported the news that a company called Bowater bought a 25% stake in the hands of European Shipping and British Iron Han at a sky-high price of 2.5 billion yuan.
For a time, it set off a storm of public opinion on a large number of commercial projects in Xiangjiang.
The citizens did not know who the owner of the Bowater company was, so the media rushed to inquire about it; The most urgent is of course the Bao family of Wharf, they are the largest shareholders of Modern Containers, and now someone suddenly puts their shares with only 0.8% of them, how can they not be in a hurry?
78 Deep Water Bay.
The charter king looked seriously ill, but he didn't dare to let anyone underestimate his attack power, and when he heard that he was still eyeing Land, he knew that he wanted to fight until he died.
Wu Guangzheng had not yet come out of the shock, and said in a disdainful manner: "European Shipping and British Rail, why did they release their shares without notifying us?" Who is buying shares at such a high premium? What are his intentions? ”
The charter king snorted coldly and said, "What are you nervous about?" Wouldn't you just ask HSBC Pu Weis? ”
Wu Guangzheng was suddenly taken aback, and hurriedly said, "What my father-in-law said is true!" ”
The charter king continued: "Whoever it is, he has a little less stake than us. I think if he wants to take down the modern container, he will definitely ask China Merchants, Swire & Co., Jebsen & Co., and HSBC, these four shareholders. However, for the time being, it seems that none of these four shareholders will be able to hand over their shares, so we do not need to rush. Perhaps, someone else is just here to join. ”
Wu Guangzheng nodded, and then said regretfully: "If we get that 25% of the shares, Modern Container will no longer be our associate company, but our subsidiary." ”
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Speaking of which, even the charter king is very excited, the joint venture company is a shareholding, and the Wharf Group is not the boss at all, and everyone has to discuss what to do; And if it is a subsidiary, then Wharf has quite a large voice.

In the conference room of the Landmark.
Lim Cho Fai and Simon Keswick signed a huge deal to buy a building and seven shopping malls of Hongkong Land for $4.5 billion, including famous properties such as Causeway Bay World Trade Center, Silvercord Centre, Excelsior Mall.
In terms of price, the premium is more than 20%, but it is 20% less than before the crash.
Importantly, without such a sudden event, Hongkong Land would not have chosen to sell at this juncture.
After signing the contract, Simon Keswick joked with a smile: "Lin Sheng, don't come to us to buy property anymore, our current high-quality properties in Central are not for sale." ”
Lin Zuhui said in his heart: "The No. 9 Queen's Road Building, didn't you sell it in your previous life!" ”
However, he still responded with a smile: "Mr. Simon, in a few years, our New Era Group has spent 11.5 billion yuan on Hongkong Land. In fact, you still own a property worth 300~40 billion yuan in Central, and you are still the largest real estate company in Hong Kong. ”
Hongkong Land's property is so lucrative that the seven towers in Central have a property area of more than 4.8 million square feet, and together with the construction of Nine Queen's Road, it has exceeded 5 million square feet of rental area.
These buildings are all first-class locations and first-class commercial buildings, including Exchange Square Tower 3, Landmark Building, Glouce Building, etc.; Therefore, it is several percent higher than the property of the convention and exhibition center; If it is sold, 7000~8000 yuan per square foot, there is no problem.
Unfortunately, Hongkong Land will not be for sale.
Simon Keswick is inevitably a little proud that Hongkong Land has sold so many properties and is still the most valuable real estate company.
Of course, Hongkong Land's market capitalization is only 19 billion, and its net worth is twice that of it, so it is obvious that shareholders are not very keen on Hongkong Land.
"Mr. Lin, it's over! The rent-collected properties of your Chinese Real Estate and New Era Group, in a few years, I am afraid that they will exceed 8 million square feet! ”
This Lin Zuhui really hasn't calculated, because many of them are under construction, but it should be more than 8 million square feet, including those under construction.
It's scary, this is already the largest real estate company in Xiangjiang.
"Many of them are still under investment, and they are not as good as the buildings that have been put into use by Hongkong Land."
After the completion of this transaction, the debt of Chinese Estates has reached 5 billion, and it still needs to pay a lot of construction costs and interest every year.
However, after winning this batch of properties, the annual rent of Chinese Real Estate has reached about one billion, which is enough to support the company's operation.
It is 1 billion less than Lin Zuhui's expected debt, and there is no problem with 25% of Yongji shares in the hands of Chinese Real Estate, worth 800 million.
With a debt of 5 billion, ACN does not need to make money financially at all, and can collect rent, repay loans, interest, and pay construction expenses at the same time.
Once in 1992, when rents soared and new buildings were completed, the annual rents of Chinese properties would be as high as billions.
At present, Chinese Estates is only left to be 'privatized', and it is expected to come up with a plan in November.

Following.
Hong Kong's second-best-selling Economic Daily published an article written by a professor at the University of Hong Kong, which pointed out that Hutchison Whampoa's international containers monopolize 60% of Xiangjiang's container terminal business; This time, Modern Container, which occupies the business of Hong Kong's Sancheng Container Terminal, jointly bid for Kwai Chung Container No. 8, with the intention of highly monopolizing the container industry in Hong Kong.
A tabloid newspaper published an article by a primary school student - "Xiangjiang is the city of the Li family": True to its name, Hong Kong is the city of the Li family. He is our God, and all things are created by Him. His strength far surpasses that of human beings, sheltering workers from the wind and rain, and protecting Hong Kong from storm signals and torrential rains. They give so much and just hope we can get to work on time and leave work on time. This is all the greatness of Brother Cheng.
For a time, the citizens deeply experienced that all aspects of themselves were inseparable from the Li family: the electricity used was the Li family's electricity, the house they lived in was the house built by the Li family, and the supermarket they went to was the supermarket opened by the Li family....
seems to be praising Li Chaoren, but only the parties know the hidden dangers brought by this.
.......
Lin Zuhui came to the office building of Xiaomi Technology, Zou Kaixuan was already waiting, and he was ready to officially invest in the high-tech industry to reshape the image of the Lin family's real estate developer. Invest in the electronics industry first, and then invest in life science and technology, anyway, it's play!
Sitting on the boss's chair, Zou Kaixuan came behind him and took the initiative to massage Lin Zuhui, and the technique was not bad.
"How are the Xiaobawang game consoles selling in the mainland?" Lin Zuhui said while enjoying it with his eyes closed.
"Not bad! Compared with the copycat game consoles in the mainland, the quality of our Xiaobawang game consoles is higher, and the return rate is currently getting lower and lower, at about 5%. Zou Kaixuan said with a little excitement.
She's a woman who owns a tech company, which is something to be proud of anyway.
Lin Zuhui immediately struck: "The return rate of 5% is too high, it should be controlled at about 2%, and then you let the management pay close attention to quality and production." ”
Zou Kaixuan immediately said: "Okay, I must work harder!" ”
Lin Zuhui patted her hand and pulled her to the front, Zou Kaixuan was about to squat down, and Lin Zuhui raised his chin and pulled it up again.
"What's the hurry! The work is not finished! Don't be in the office in the future, I'll go to the hotel later! ”
Zou Kaixuan's face suddenly blushed, she would be wrong, but this man just likes it.
"Hmm"
Next, the work continues.
Lin Zuhui said: "Xiaomi Technology has been established for almost a year, and now it is time to develop! I bought an industrial building and converted it into an office and factory building, with an area of 200,000 square feet. On the side of Xiaobawang, you slowly hand over the work to the senior staff, and you only need to spend half a effort. Now you come to Xiaomi Technology as the president, recruit management and technical personnel for me, and prepare for it at the end of the year. ”
Zou Kaixuan asked, "Develop the VCD you said?" ”
Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "In addition to VCD, there is also research and development of Chinese pagers. VCD,I told you about the principle,The most important thing for that thing is to go to the United States to obtain a patent for a digital compression chip,This is the heart of VCD,It can convert TV signals into digital signals..... In short, both products are marketed in the mainland, so we have to set up R&D departments in both Heung Kong and Shenzhen, and produce them in the mainland. ”
Neither product is a high-tech product, but Lin Zuhui wants to be the first person to eat crabs.
In his previous life, Jiang Wanmeng, director of the Hui Provincial Institute of Modern Television Technology, went to Las Vegas in the United States in 1992 to participate in the International Radio and Television Exhibition, and met the Chinese-American Sun Yansheng in front of a very small booth. The digital compression chip shown by Sun is the heart of the VCD, which converts the TV signal into a digital signal. Since then, Jiang Wanmeng has been trapped by this small chip and has been thinking about it all day long. One day after returning home, he said, "If we compress the signal on a CD disc and make a player, this chip will create a very big industry." ”
Lin Zuhui has money, once the research and development is successful, his funds can make the product quickly promoted in the market; In the previous life, Wan Yan developed the VCD and promoted it for another year, and when the market accepted the CVD, Wan Yan had no money to advertise. I can only watch the major manufacturers come in and get a piece of the pie, and the important thing is that Wan Yan has no registered patents.
Xiaomi Technology is different, it will secretly develop VCDs until the product is successful, and then immediately promote a large number of advertisements; Of course, there must be a patent registration. At that time, Lin Zuhui only needs to let Jack become the spokesperson, and then buy the standard king of CCTV, he is not afraid of unsuccessful marketing.
In fact, this thing can't make a lot of money, but it is an accumulation of brand and technology.
Zou Kaixuan said: "Then do you want to take land to invest in factories in the mainland?" ”
She knows Lin Zuhui's style, that is, she is not bad for money, and she has invested heavily from the beginning.
Lin Zuhui said: "Of course, let's take land and build a factory in Shenzhen, as big as possible!" But in this regard, you are not in a hurry, first help me set up the company, and Shenzhen will also set up a research and development department. ”
Zou Kaixuan nodded!
The mainland has already sent an invitation to Lin Zuhui to visit the capital early next year, and it is obvious that this is a high honor. Moreover, Lin Zuhui doesn't know if Li Chaoren was invited, but according to the time, Lin Zuhui will be the first person to be officially invited to Beijing in the nineties.
The importance of this cannot be overstated!
The two chatted in the office for a long time, and Lin Zuhui would not hide from Zou Kaixuan if he had any ideas.
First of all: this industry belongs to the nature of his ticket, whether it is successful or not, the Lin family has an impact on people - they have also worked hard in the cause of science and technology, and have made contributions to the cause of science and technology.
Secondly: Zou Kaixuan, a woman, naturally worships the strong, and is a spiritual worship.
