A piece of news detonated public opinion in Xiangjiang, Wanhui Media and Ming Pao Group reached a deal, Wanhui Media bought 7% of the shares of its major shareholders Zha Liangyong and Shen Baoxin for 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

For a while, people were talking about it.

"Tian Tian Ribao is the highest-selling newspaper in Hong Kong, "Gang of Men" is the highest-selling magazine in Hong Kong, "Ming Pao" is the most popular newspaper among intellectuals in Hong Kong, DreamWorks is the best film company in Hong Kong, and ATV is currently in a five-to-five trend with TVB..... Mr. Lin Zuhui has become the Mei Duo (Murdoch) of Hong Kong! ”

"Even Li Chaoren came to the door to buy "Ming Pao", which shows that these rich people care about the influence of public opinion."

"Although Mr. Lin Zuhui has always emphasized that he has never interfered with the freedom of the press, this is a bit of a monopoly."

"Monopoly is not a monopoly, "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "South China Morning Post", "Cheng Pao", all have great influence, there is a monopoly there. Besides, Mei Duo is so powerful, and I haven't seen that country say that he is a monopoly and boycott him. ”

At the same time as people were talking, Wanhui Media and Ming Pao Group jointly issued an announcement that Ming Pao Group would apply for listing as a public company.

For a while, all the voices unfavorable to Lin Zuhui were almost gone, and listing meant that it was a public company.

.......

In the office of ACN Center, Lin Zuhui received the visiting Wu Guangzhen with a smile, and his temperament was far from being comparable to Wu Guangzhen's enterprising 'son-in-law'.

"Lin Sheng, you are so bold that you have bought 25% of the shares of Modern Container silently, so you have to inform our partners!" Wu Guangzhen said with a smile.

Lin Zuhui said in surprise: "Wu Sheng, you know so quickly? I haven't secured this stake yet, so you'll come to the door, and I'll have time to tell the partner! ”

Wu Guangzhen was suddenly embarrassed, he was really fast enough to come to the door!

After stabilizing his mind, Wu Guangzhen asked: "Lin Sheng, you have invested in sea and land containers, and you have also invested in modern containers, are you planning to match the two companies for joint bidding?" ”

This was analyzed by his father-in-law, and Wu Guangzhen also thought so.

Lin Zuhui said calmly: "Not bad! The dominance of international containers has led to criticism from market participants, and monopoly is not a healthy economic model, so I think modern containers and sea and land containers should participate in the bidding together. ”

At this time, Lin Zuhui had actually shaken an idea, that is, to grab the modern container.

Because, he is so rich!

The Japanese investment was much more than he expected to return, because he was calculating the market value at the end of August, and in fact, even if he sold from the end of August, the average Nikkei level of the sell-off could be as high as around 38,000 points.

Not only that, but he can also let Hengjin invest and short Nikkei with his backhand. Of course, it must not be too much, so as not to attract attention, and later be included in the list of people who are not welcome in Japan, which is not in line with the principles of businessmen. After all, Lin Zuhui develops the electronics industry and has a lot of places to deal with Japan.

Wu Guangzhen hurriedly said: "This is a good thing, we in Wharf are willing to promote this cooperation!" However, Mr. Lin, what are the shares in your hands? ”

Lin Zuhui immediately said: "Don't worry, this is one of my family's long-term investment projects!" ”

Wu Guangzhen choked suddenly, and paused for a few seconds before saying, "Welcome Lin Sheng to join!" ”

Of course, it is not good for him to directly say that it will be transferred to Wharf, not to mention the issue of Wharf raising billions of funds at once, even Lin Zuhui cannot agree to it now.

Lin Zuhui finally said: "Since our matter has been negotiated, I still have a reluctant request, that is, I hope that the charter king can persuade COSCO Shipping to join us." After all, now we have a better chance of winning. ”

Wu Guangzhen muttered in his heart, and after saying the reluctant invitation, he immediately said the request. Of course, since Modern Container has chosen to cooperate with sea and land containers, it naturally hopes to win.

"My father-in-law has retired, but I'm willing to take a trip to this matter!"

Lin Zuhui nodded!

He can actually invite, but he likes to command people, not to mention that he can command Bao's son-in-law now, why not!

.......

Cheung Kong Group.

When Li Chaoren heard that the company that bought the shares of Modern Container was Lin Zuhui's private investment company, he immediately felt bad. Sure enough, soon Modern Container gave up cooperation with international containers and switched to cooperation with sea and land containers.

At the same time, COSCO also chose to join the major leagues and bid together.

"This Lin Zuhui is simply a villain, in order to achieve his goal, he is simply a small means!" Li Chao was so angry that he slapped the table, which was an anger he hadn't had in a long time.

Recently, the Xiangjiang media criticized him for engaging in monopoly management, and Li Chaoren believes that the media will not mention these negative news that is not favorable to him at this time for no reason.

Therefore, Li Chaoren thought that this was done by Lin Zuhui. Of course, he can also choose to fight back, but after all, he is the leader of Xiangjiang business, so if there is any criticism, it is originally aimed at him, and it will not be the turn of the rising star Lin Zuhui.

Therefore, if the media retaliates immediately, the blind will know that he did it, and it will really have a great adverse impact on the family at that time.

In fact, the media has always had no good impression of these tycoons, and Li Chaoren is the target of criticism.

On this point, everyone can only turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.

Recruited the military advisor Ma Shimin, and Li Chaoren asked about countermeasures.

Ma Shimin is naturally helpless, now the international container can only participate in the bidding, if successful, the four berths of No. 8 Kwai Chung Wharf will belong to them; If you fail, you won't be able to succeed.

"In that case, let's do a good job in the bidding and have a head-to-head competition!" Li Ka-shing finally said helplessly.

The reason for his helplessness is very simple, Hutchison Whampoa is 40% British-owned, and at present, foreign capital is shouting to withdraw, if a large amount of money is invested in the No. 8 container terminal, I am afraid that the group will have different voices.

At this time, Ma Shimin threw out a question: "Boss, in that case, why don't we give up this project and spread the investment overseas?" Not only that, but we can also move Hutchison Whampoa to Bermuda, after all, 97 is approaching. ”

Although Ma Shimin is a good helper of Li Ka-shing, he is also a staunch supporter of Hutchison's relocation of Whampoa. It is precisely for this reason that Ma Shimin and Li Chaoren were separated, of course, this is a later story, so I will not show it for the time being.

Li Chaoren immediately refused: "No, Hutchison Whampoa can only truly develop into a world-class company in Xiangjiang." Moreover, I am now a business leader in Hong Kong, how can I offend the mainland..... Of course, Hutchison Whampoa will continue to invest mainly overseas. ”

Because Hutchison Whampoa has a lot of British managers, and 40% of the shares are British-owned, he has to consider them. Of course, that's what he meant himself.

......

At the same time, the container alliance led by Lin Zuhui and the international container confrontation set off a huge response in Xiangjiang for a while, and the media once again used 'Lin Chaoren VS Li Chaoren' to describe this bidding.

Because International Container couldn't wait to announce the formation of an alliance with Modern Container in advance, Li Chaoren was criticized by the media; Your international container is originally a very high monopoly enterprise, and now it is united with the second-ranked modern container, which simply does not give people a way to live.

Nowadays, modern containers have turned to sea and land containers, and combined with Henderson and New World, which is simply the 'League of the Justice', and for a while, in public opinion, international containers have lost a lot.

12 Repulse Bay, Cheng Mansion.

This is the secret base of the Shunde Alliance, and everyone likes to come here to discuss anything.

This time, everyone gathered secretly again to discuss the matter of Kwai Chung Pier No. 8.

Before the meeting, several people praised Lin Zuhui with admiration, and what they thought was hopeless has now become advantageous with the defection of modern containers.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Uncle Tong, you are good at dealing with the Hong Kong government, so you have to go out of the mountain to help in this matter!" ”

In Xiangjiang, there are two elders who have a close relationship with the British government in Hong Kong, the first of course belongs to Li Chaoren, and the second belongs to Zheng Yutong.

At that time, the Blue Chimney (now the New World Center) only had an area of more than 200,000 square feet, but Zheng Yutong said that he wanted to build a landmark building complex in Xiangjiang, and after negotiating with the Hong Kong government, the Hong Kong government generously sold 230,000 square feet of land to New World Development at a low price.

The same is true for the Convention and Exhibition Center, the Hong Kong government did not even engage in bidding, and directly handed it over to Zheng Yutong to develop.

Not to mention, the groundbreaking ceremony of the convention and exhibition center was even invited by the queen, and now that the convention and exhibition center has been completed, the opening ceremony has not been held for a long time; Lin Zuhui knew that it was the prince and Princess Diana who were going to participate.

Cheng's relationship with the British government in Hong Kong can be seen.

Although Lin Zuhui can also make the Hong Kong government pay attention, after all, it is only because of his influence in the media communication industry, in fact, he has never even set foot in Europe, let alone relations.

Zheng Yutong said with a smile: "It's okay for me to deal with it, but you have to beat me." Who doesn't know that you are Lin Chaoren of Xiangjiang, doesn't the Hong Kong government look at your face. In addition to being optimistic about the container terminal, we also made a joint bid for Kwai Chung Pier No. 8, which is not conducive to the development of Hong Kong. ”

To be honest, even without Lin Zuhui, in the nineties, the competition between several major families was very fierce. Of course, everyone has fierce competition, but if outsiders want to get a piece of the pie, even if the big American conglomerates come, they have to return home.

If he hadn't had the sharp weapon of media communication, these people might not have joined forces to bully him a long time ago.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "There is no problem with this!" ”

Several people chatted about the bidding for a while, and Lin Zuhui proposed: "If we win the bid this time, it will not work so loosely, I suggest that we will restructure the interests of sea and land, Asia, and major consortia to establish a new Asian container terminal company." The advantage of this is that when the tender for Kwai Chung Pier 9 comes in, we are no longer so lax. ”

Lee Shau Kee was the first to respond, he was originally self-made and had just entered the container terminal industry.

"That's a good idea! There is money for everyone to earn together, and the prospects of the container terminal are very good, and we can also get a piece of the pie together. ”

Zheng Yutong thought about it for a while, and the Asian container in their hand did not have a berth, but there was a huge container processing center.

"Okay! Only with the reorganization of assets can there be hope for the formation of a consortium. Zheng Yutong is interested in Lin Zuhui's increasing influence, and he will not be weaker than Li Chaoren's existence in the future.

And just like that, the Container Alliance agreed again!

As for Modern Containers, it's just this collaboration. Moreover, this time they had a full meal, and together with COSCO, they could share two berths.

As for the shares in Lin Zuhui's hands, he will sell them at a high price in the future and concentrate on the development of Asian containers.

......

At the beginning of September, the annual ATV finals began.

Although 'Sister Asia' has never been as famous as 'Sister Hong Kong', it is impossible for ATV to cancel it, after all, the show not only has good ratings, but also can pick out ATV's future actresses.

2k

This year, ATV is in the budget of the beauty pageant, and it is still more than wireless. Because Lin Zuhui knows that this year's sister will be better than Sister Hong Kong (the statement of the Hong Kong media in the previous life). And what he knows is Weng Hong, Wan Qiwen, Wu Yongwei, these are more famous, and wireless is a Chen Farong this year.

On the day of the finals, Lin Zuhui took Li Jiaxin to visit, and the two sat in the middle of the audience, with the flowers of the VIP symbol pinned to their chests, and some celebrities from Xiangjiang were also around.

The hosts of the evening were Huang Zhan, Mo Shaocong, Cai Lan, Ni Kuang, etc., and the guests were Leslie Cheung, Luo Wen, etc.; ATV wanted to invite Li Zhi to be a guest, but she was rejected, she doesn't remember the showbiz at all now, and flipping houses and investing are her life.

Lin Zuhui and Li Jiaxin sat in the audience, and the director of ATV gave the camera to the two of them several times, and it seems that it will inevitably be discussed tomorrow.

The whole show was very smooth and exciting, especially when interviewing Weng Hong's parents, Lin Zuhui was a little surprised, they both worked at Huaqing University and were still from a high-level intellectual family. But how did you go astray? No, Lin Zuhui plans to cultivate it later!

After the show, Lin Zuhui took Li Jiaxin to the backstage, the reason why he brought women was to avoid suspicion, after all, his reputation in women is indeed indescribable.

can't say bad, after all, no woman has ever said anything bad about him, and the family has not caused problems; But the reputation of the amorous tycoon, how can it be wasted, has always been talked about by the citizens.

When Lin Zuhui walked in, everyone immediately looked at him, after all, this is the real boss. As for Zheng Jiachun, who is not good-looking, he is basically selectively ignored.

Of course, the overly beautiful Li Jiaxin is naturally very eye-catching.

At this time, the top few Asian sisters were taking a photo with Zhang Guorong, and when they saw Lin Zuhui walking in, they seemed to have the idea of abandoning Zhang Guorong and leaving.

Sure enough, soon, Lin Zuhui was asked to take a group photo!

However, Lin Zuhui smiled and joked with Zhang Guorong: "Leslie, it seems that I am more popular with girls than you!" ”

Zhang Guorong and Lin Zuhui are acquaintances, but they can let go, and said with a smile: "Lin Sheng, of course you are popular with girls, so you need to talk about it!" Look at the one next to you, I'm afraid you are already the most popular man in Xiangjiang! ”

is worthy of being an artist with hosting skills, and this sentence praised Lin Zuhui and Li Jiaxin in succession.

After a brief chat, it was time for Lin Zuhui and the Asian sisters to take a group photo, I used to always watch the photo of Uncle Shao Liu and Sister Hong Kong, an old man among the warblers and Yanyan, and the media couldn't help but ridicule them.

Now it's Lin Zuhui's turn, but it's a pity that Li Jiaxin on the side is eyeing him, plus there are many people, Lin Zuhui's unconventional group photo is over.

In fact, he hadn't opened the seal for a long time.
