Wednesday, August 8, 1990.

Peregrine announced that 72.24% of Hengchang Enterprise's shareholders have accepted the acquisition and it has been successful.

Lin Zuhui came to HSBC to discuss the acquisition of Hengchang Enterprise Loan. Unlike other consortia, Lin Zuhui talks about acquisitions first, and then loans.

Because he didn't want to leak the news at the beginning, plus the cash flow of the New Era Group is more than 6 billion, not to mention Lin Zuhui's personal funds.

When it comes to large loans, it is natural to go directly to HSBC Taipan Pu Weishi, not to mention that Lin Zuhui has been dispatched.

After arriving at Pu Weishi's office, Lin Zuhui was warmly welcomed, and he has indeed been a welcome object for bankers, with large loans and no delays. Coupled with the fact that the company has now become a comprehensive behemoth, the prospects are visible to discerning people.

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Zuhui said: "I came to HSBC this time to get a loan of 3 billion yuan!" ”

Pu Weishi nodded and said, "I probably guessed that there is no problem with this loan." But I'm curious, doesn't New Era Group plan to spin off Hengchang Enterprise? ”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "There is no need to split Hengchang Enterprise, after I acquire, I will actively rely on Hengchang Enterprise to develop comprehensive projects, so that this company will become another ace subsidiary of New Era Group." ”

New Era Group now has four real trump card enterprises: New Era Real Estate/Construction, Chinese Real Estate, New Era Hotel, and Hengchang Enterprise.

Pu Weishi can't admire the young Lin Zuhui, who has a lot of influence in Hong Kong in the past two months, and proposed that 'Hong Kong culture rejuvenate Hong Kong' has set off a lot of influence in Hong Kong, and even the Legislative Council is considering introducing support policies.

Not to mention, how many big projects have emerged in the past two years, and the influence of the Hong Kong business community is increasing day by day.

Pu Weishi nodded and said, "As far as we know, the cash on the account of the New Era Group is very sufficient, and there is almost no need for loans!" As long as part of the assets is slightly divided, the financial pressure of New Era Group can be alleviated. ”

New Era Group has a debt of 12 billion, of which the largest creditor is HSBC, accounting for almost one-third. Therefore, it is also common sense for HSBC to understand the capital situation of New Era Group.

Lin Zuhui said: "New Era Group will have a lot of investment activities in the future, so it intends to hang the debt on Hengchang Enterprise, so as not to affect the next business activities." ”

Pu Weishi secretly lamented Lin Zuhui's pioneering heart, but HSBC also likes to invest in such Chinese businessmen, which is in its own interests.

"Okay, I agree to this loan, I can withdraw it at any time!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Thank you!" He suddenly remembered something, and immediately said: "If HSBC has any real estate projects, I hope to consider our New Era Group, and we are also very sincere!" ”

For example, HSBC's site at the former site of the staff quarters at 23 Pokfei Road, Hong Kong, can redevelop two 40-storey residential towers with a total area of more than 300,000 square feet.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat!

Pu Weishi nodded and said, "If there is something that can be cooperated, we will seriously consider it!" ”

Lin Zuhui nodded so far and didn't say much else.

The reason why he said this is also to lament that the land in Xiangjiang is decreasing day by day, and it is a little more to develop more.

On Thursday, Peregrine announced that 99.8% of Hengchang Enterprise's shareholders had accepted the acquisition and the acquisition was completed.

Although the largest asset transaction in the history of Hong Kong has been completed, the citizens of Hong Kong are obviously not in the mood to pay attention, and the Hang Seng Index has fallen to 3,020 points in just five or six trading days, which has produced a rapid downward trend, and the shareholders are wailing.

Lin Zuhui was in the office, just paying attention to the stocks, and then thought about it seriously.

He has always complained that the subsidiaries of the New Era Group are numerous and inconvenient to manage.

After the acquisition of Hengchang Enterprise, he wanted to position Hengchang Enterprise as 'Hutchison Whampoa';

The only difference is that Hengchang Enterprise is a non-listed company.

Communications, retail, ports, and pharmaceuticals are all attributed to Hengchang (holding);

New Era Group - New Era Real Estate/Construction, New Era Hotel, Chinese Real Estate, Hengchang Holdings, New Era Group (Huaxia).

The investment in real estate and infrastructure in the mainland will also be separated separately, and then spun off and listed on the stock market to extract cash.

Thinking of this, Lin Zuhui nodded, that's pretty much it!

In the future, Lu Donglai will be assigned to be in charge of New Era Group (Huaxia), and Yuan Tianfan will be in charge of Hengchang Holdings.

Lin Zuhui sat in a spacious office, and that alone made him feel very good. He has two life trajectories, which are naturally often used as comparisons, so he is actually very easy to satisfy.

The reason why his career can continue to advance by leaps and bounds is just that memory is pushing him to do it, not what he subjectively wants to do. For example, he remembered that 'Iraq's invasion of Kuwait' would cause oil to rise, which led to him having to do crude oil futures.

Now he has actually become an unfamiliar business concept. It's just that he was 'erudite and talented' in his previous life, and he knew a little bit about everything (what he saw and heard at the half-level in his previous life), so he has been doing all kinds of business.

Not to mention, once you have money and wealth, you know a little bit about it, and you feel that you have a very good chance of winning. Anyway, there are talents who work for you, as long as you go in the right direction, success is still very certain.

Hengchang Holdings really has a lot of projects to invest in, otherwise how can it be comparable to the world's top 500 'Hutchison Whampoa'!

Sunday, August 12, 1990.

On the Great Wall of the capital, two guests came all the way from Xiangjiang, Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin. Of course, the two of them were followed by many staff, mainly the staff of the 'Lin Zuhui Foundation' and the staff of the capital.

Lin Zuhui and Wang Lingyin are both in a good mood, sometimes standing on the Great Wall and overlooking the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, especially Lin Zuhui, who is even more heroic.

If it weren't for his identity, he would still want to shout two sentences.

This time he came to the capital, Lin Zuhui and his wife Wang Lingyin came purely for charity, Wang Lingyin is his wife who is marrying Ming Media, and is also the vice president of the Lin Zuhui Foundation, the actual manager.

Of course, the direction of the donation is mainly Lin Zuhui's opinion, and Wang Lingyin can also have the right to use part of the funds.

Since its establishment one year ago, the Lin Zuhui Foundation has donated 200 million Hong Kong dollars, of which 150 million Hong Kong dollars have been donated by Heung Kong (100 million Hong Kong dollars have been donated by the University of Science and Technology in batches), and 50 million Hong Kong dollars have been donated to Shunde County in the mainland.

This time in Beijing, Lin Zuhui Foundation plans to donate 100 million yuan to Huaqing University and 100 million yuan to Beijing University, so the Beijing side attaches more importance to his visit, and even arranges staff to be guides when climbing the Great Wall.

To be honest, donations are certainly a good thing, but Lin Zuhui may not be without careful thinking.

Ninety-two is approaching, and he needs to make more connections to lay the foundation for future investment.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Zuhui has media and communication companies in his hands, his relationship in the mainland would be far inferior to Li Chaoren, who has already donated 500 million yuan to Shantou University alone.

However, the capital that should be fought for still has to be contested, so in the past two years, the 'Lin Zuhui Foundation' will make a large number of donations, conservative not less than 500 million, mainly for the education of the motherland. During this period, many cooperation agreements will be reached to get more insurance.

"Brother Hui, the Great Wall is really majestic, and the scenery is so beautiful!" Wang Lingyin said excitedly.

Lin Zuhui took her hand, pointed to the north and said: "In ancient times, this was a barrier against foreign races, and this Great Wall was built. ”

Of course, Lin Zuhui knows more about the understanding of the Great Wall than Wang Lingyin, a 'native' of Xiangjiang, who grew up in the mainland.

Lin Zuhui looked at the beautiful Wang Lingyin and said, "Do you like the mainland?" ”

Wang Lingyin nodded and said, "Well, I like it!" ”

Seventy percent of her likes are because Lin Zuhui is a Xiangjiang person from the mainland.

Lin Zuhui is a representative of the new immigrants in Hong Kong, and he is an absolute idol of nearly a million new immigrants in Hong Kong.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Then accompany me more in the future!" ”

"Hmm"

The two talked and laughed, and the staff also chatted with each other, and they were not overly restrained.

During this period, Wang Lingyin would always share some imported sweets with some mainland children on the Great Wall and chat.

Of course, the children who can climb the Great Wall in this era are almost not simple families.

The next day, when Lin Zuhui and his entourage arrived at Huaqing University, they were immediately infected by the enthusiasm of the school.

Whether to name the donation, Lin Zuhui is also hesitating!

In his previous life, Li Chaoren donated a lot, but he never named him.

You must know that the schools donated by Li Chaoren overseas are all titled.

Only in the mainland, he has no name. Shantou University donated billions of dollars, even if it is not named 'Li Chaoren University', then at least there must be some building called Li Chaoren Building or something. In fact, there were many people who suggested what hall to call Li Chaoren and what building Li Chaoren was, but Li Chaoren rejected all of them.

Li Chaoren's donation in the mainland is actually several times that of Uncle Shao Liu.

Lin Zuhui thought about it, he still named it, and it can be regarded as encouraging himself to work hard to do charity.

Walking into Huaqing University, the president and teachers and students warmly welcomed Lin Zuhui and his party.

Lin Zuhui hurriedly said modestly: "I dare not be ashamed, everyone in Huaqingyuan is a pillar of our country, please don't make too much of a battle today, I can't afford it!" ”

The principal was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "Then we will take Mr. Lin to browse Huaqing Garden, and give a brief speech to our teachers and students in the auditorium later!" ”

Lin Zuhui immediately said happily: "It is my honor to visit Huaqing University!" ”

Next, the students were evacuated, and Lin Zuhui and several school leaders browsed around the school.

At this time, although Huaqing University received a lot of donations from the society, it was by no means like the hundreds of millions of dollars in later generations, basically millions and hundreds of thousands, and tens of millions were relatively small.

Lin Zuhui likes to donate to science universities, but the reason why Jingcheng University also donated 100 million yuan, but there is a requirement to donate to the medical school, which is a special fund.

In his previous life, he had never stepped into Huaqing University, and along the way, Lin Zuhui listened carefully to everyone's introductions, listened to them with relish, and occasionally sighed at the history of Huaqing University.

At half past 10 o'clock in the morning, Lin Zuhui came to the auditorium, and there were hundreds of teachers and students sitting in the audience.

First came the speech of the school leader, followed by Lin Zuhui's speech, and finally the donation ceremony.

When it was time for Lin Zuhui to give a speech, his assistant Li Ke took a bunch of props, such as big brother and laptop, and put them on the stage.

His speech was actually very simple, after an introduction, he picked up Big Brother and said: "This is called a mobile phone, and the local dialect is called Big Brother, and people will gradually get used to calling him a mobile phone in the future." He is now worth 30,000, and my country's high-income salary is almost 300, don't you feel that it is very expensive! ”

A group of teachers and students nodded cooperatively, it should be!

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "But I boldly predict that such mobile phones will follow 'Moore's Law' and will undergo amazing changes every 18 months." It becomes more portable and the signal is better. It has become cheaper, and I boldly predict that in five or ten years, tens of millions of people in Huaxia will use mobile phones, or even hundreds of millions, and the price of a mobile phone is a month's salary for ordinary people. We can use our mobile phones to chat with distant relatives and friends, which is very convenient. ”

"There is also this computer, many foreign countries have been connected to NSFNET, and my country's Xiangjiang will also be connected next year. Computers will also develop very fast, the Internet will also develop very fast, and most jobs will be dealt with on a daily basis in the future. Those in the Department of Architecture can draw more accurate drawings with a computer, and those in the Department of Mechanical Engineering can use a computer to design."

"Technology is changing with each passing day, but it needs your participation!"

Many students were stunned by Future Technology and then applauded enthusiastically.

In fact, what Lin Zuhui said was not an exaggeration, but what he said was very convincing.

Finally, Lin Zuhui said: "The motherland needs you, if one day you have the opportunity to go abroad for further study, I hope that after you finish your studies, you can return to China to participate in the construction." ”

A group of teachers and students applauded again, in their opinion, Lin Zuhui is now returning to China to participate in the construction, which is very exemplary and educational.

When the donation ceremony began, everyone was in awe, this was the largest donation from Huaqing University.

For two days in a row, Lin Zuhui donated 200 million Hong Kong dollars, mainly for the construction of teaching buildings and the purchase of teaching equipment. After being received again, Lin Zuhui hurried back to Hong Kong.

Donation is only part of his contribution to the motherland, and he personally feels that only investment can truly help the development of the motherland. In the past life, Hong Kong capital contributed very much to the development of the mainland.

Someone said, isn't that just for profit?

You can say that, but why is it that almost every country is begging entrepreneurs to invest in the first place?

Even in a wealthy country like Canada, every senior official of them came to Lin Zuhui's office, and they were very courted, hoping that Lin Zuhui would invest.

To put it simply, without businessmen, the world would not be efficient at all, and it would not be able to develop.
