In December, Yin began.

On Saturday afternoon, Lin Zuhui gave up reuniting with his family and asked Yuan Tianfan to play golf together. With Yuan Tianfan's term as chairman of the Stock Exchange still three months to expire, Lin Zuhui also hopes to determine whether he is interested in the position of president of 'Hengchang Holdings'.

The two were playing golf and talking.

Yuan Tianfan asked seriously: "Lin Sheng, I have seen that the New Era Group has developed rapidly in recent years, and you have positioned it as a world-class comprehensive group. But in fact, New Era Group does not invest much overseas, why is this? ”

Lin Zuhui swung in a dashing manner, and then replied: "Because of the rate of return!" I would indeed build the New Era Group into a world-class integrated group, but considering the economic situation in Europe and the United States in recent years, its rate of return is far less than that of Hong Kong. In fact, in the last few years, I have chosen to invest cautiously when it comes to overseas investments. In my opinion, the rate of return on investing in the mainland will be much higher than overseas. Once the New Era Group has sufficient funds, it is natural to consider investing overseas. ”

Yuan Tianfan had some doubts and said: "Will the investment in the mainland be better than overseas?" ”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "You don't think that the policy will not change, right?" At present, everyone is looking forward to the opening of the mainland market, because this market is too big. There are more than 1.1 billion people in the mainland, and if we earn 1 yuan per person, that is 1.1 billion. You tell me? ”

Yuan Tianfan nodded and said, "People who hold this view are indeed top businessmen with foresight. ”

The two then played a game of golf, and Yuan Tianfan finally said seriously: "Li Chaoren has also invited me to join his team many times, and I have indeed been moved. However, after thinking about it for a while, I feel that the president of Hengchang Holdings may be more suitable for me. ”

Lin Zuhui immediately stretched out his hand happily and said, "Welcome to join our team!" ”

Yuan Tianfan also stretched out his hand happily and said, "It should be said that I am honored to join this team, and it took Lin Sheng a lot of time to come and persuade him!" ”

"Look at what you said, even if you choose not to join, can't I make friends with you!"

Lin Zuhui is in a very good mood, and it is a position that New Era Group needs.

Lu Donglai, who is currently the president of Hengchang Holdings, is actually the head of the comprehensive department of the New Era Group, not to mention, the New Era Group also plans to enter the mainland in a big way, and the New Era Group (Huaxia) will be spun off, so a president is also needed.

Retail, traditional Chinese medicine, profit/food, port, shipping, telecommunications, six businesses are transferred to Hengchang Holdings, and the comprehensive departments of the New Era Group are left: infrastructure, investment (shareholding), which basically requires a senior staff to do it.

At present, although New Era Group has not made a big overseas expansion, it has also set up offices in Singapore, London, and New York, and will consider setting up offices in Vancouver and Sydney in the future.

After Yuan Tianfan agreed to Lin Zuyao's invitation, he took the initiative to 'resign' to Li Chaoren, because Li Chaoren had recently invited him to join the Cheung Kong Department.

In his previous life, Li Chaoren gave Yuan Tianfan the position of: President of Hengchang Holdings, although Hengchang Enterprise was not his company, but he recommended Yuan Tianfan.

It can also be seen from this point that the Changshi Department does not have Yuan Tianfan's position, which is also the main reason why Lin Zuhui can win this time.

When Li Chaoren heard that Yuan Tianfan already had a place to go, his first reaction was that Lin Zuhui had wooed Yuan Tianfan, and he was immediately disappointed. But he couldn't say anything, because over the years, strictly speaking, Yuan Tianfan had helped him more.

In the past few years, he has lost not only Yuan Tianfan, but also several members of the Legislative Council, barrister Li Yeguang, etc., have also been co-opted by Lin Zuhui; Of course, everyone is good friends on both sides.

.......

Monday, December 3.

After getting Yuan Tianfan's consent, Lin Zuhui immediately began to do Lu Donglai's ideological work.

In the office, Lin Zuhui first asked Lu Donglai: "What do you think of the mainland market?" ”

Lu Donglai has been following Lin Zuhui for so long, so he naturally understands the boss, so he said: "The prospect is very good, after all, this market is very large, and now there is a lack of an opportunity, an opportunity to open up!" ”

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "I have been to the mainland many times, and I have learned some general trends through high-level conversations many times. Therefore, I am very optimistic about the mainland market and plan to prepare in advance. ”

Lu Donglai was shocked, the boss actually got some information from the high-level, it seems to be very sure!

"The boss plans to invest in real estate in the mainland?"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "According to my speculation, if we prepare in advance, maybe we can spin off a subsidiary with tens of billions of dollars in a few years." Therefore, I want you to be in charge of the real estate, infrastructure and other businesses in the mainland. ”

Lu Donglai immediately said: "I have no problem!" But what about Hengchang Holdings? ”

Lin Zuhui said: "Yuan Tianfan of the Stock Exchange has agreed to join us! If it weren't for the great prospects of the mainland market, I wouldn't have transferred you around! If he didn't know the mainland market, he wouldn't have done everything possible to win over Yuan Tianfan. After all, Lu Donglai is still competent enough to be Hengchang Holdings.

Lu Donglai said with a smile: "I like this kind of challenging career, since the boss has been to the mainland many times, I feel that soon the mainland will usher in a big opportunity!" ”

"The Reborn Financial Giant"

In the past year, the boss suddenly changed his style of not returning to the mainland, and since he was received by the senior management at the beginning of the year, he has gone to the mainland many times to do charity and investigation. He, as a subordinate, doesn't know what the boss thinks. Over the years, the boss has never misjudged the general trend, so he believes that the real estate market in the mainland is very large and is very willing to challenge.

Lin Zuhui nodded, in fact, even if Lu Donglai does not arrange to be in charge of mainland real estate affairs, New Era Group also has his position, but it is a bit overkill.

"Well, you can do it on Hengchang Holdings with peace of mind first, and then take office after the handover! I can tell you in advance that if the mainland opens up to a certain extent, I will build a 'Central Plaza' model in Beijing, Magic City, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, and Central Plaza will no longer be a building, but a mixed-use project." ”

"Okay, don't worry, boss!"

After Lu Donglai left, Lin Zuhui was in a good mood, and the perfect organizational structure and excellent core management were the magic weapons for the success of a company.

Of course, it is not the biggest magic weapon, the biggest magic weapon of the New Era Group is the soul of Lin Zuhui.

Only when the general direction of the group is right, can it develop efficiently.

is like Li Chaoren, in his previous life, because he attached too much importance to overseas investment, it also had a little impact, because the overseas rate of return was too poor. For example, his investments in the telecommunications industry in Australia, Malaysia and Thailand all went out in the red and did not succeed as expected. Even real estate investment in Canada and Singapore has a low rate of return. Of course, if his cash is very sufficient, it doesn't matter if he invests like this, the key is that at that time, Xiangjiang and the mainland could still accommodate those funds, which would be a pity.

What is even worse is Jardine Matheson, from 1984 to 1994, overseas investment was inefficient and the rate of return was low, and as a result, Hong Kong's real estate development was very good, and in 1994 it turned around. It's a pity that at that time, the Chinese capital was so strong that Hongkong Land's properties on luxury land and machine railway stations were defeated by Chinese real estate one after another, and there was no income.

Based on this information, Lin Zuhui decided to reduce overseas investment projects in 1991~1992. As for the British telecom, it must be invested, after all, once it is made, the rate of return is very high.

Hengjin Investment is different from the New Era Group, Hengjin Investment belongs to Lin Zuhui's personal investment company, and the funds are relatively sufficient, so you can consider some overseas investment, such as copying European and American office buildings, but it will not buy more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and will use 70% of the loan.

The important thing is that in his previous life, Li Chaoren bought a central building in Manhattan, New York, next year, and half of the equity is less than 500 million Hong Kong dollars; This building is 38 stories high. If it is in Central, such a building is at least 2 billion Hong Kong dollars!

......

In the afternoon, Chen Bin walked into Lin Zuhui's office with a happy look on his face.

After sitting down, Chen Bin didn't have time to drink tea, so he reported: "Boss, the two plots of land on Yangwu Road in Tsuen Wan have been exchanged from the Hong Kong government through the land exchange rights and interests. Not only that, but the land on the west side of the shopping mall has also been replaced. We have exchanged 1 million square feet of land in that area in half a year! ”

When Lin Zuhui heard this, he was also very happy, that area is the area of Tsuen Wan near the sea, that is, the Tsuen Wan Old Wharf Plot and the Yeung Uk Road Plot, adjacent to Tsuen Wan Park.

In this way, his idea of creating a landmark/complex in Tsuen Wan can be realized!

Citywalk (shopping mall) is currently under construction and is expected to open in 1992. The plot on the west side of Citywalk will create a luxury residential community with sea views; The Yeung Uk Road site on the north side of Citywalk is an urban complex divided into two parts, one is a commercial complex with two towers and a large shopping mall, and the other is a large housing estate.

Lin Zuhui said: "This project is very important, you let the designer design according to my ideas, and strive to get the plan within half a year." ”

Chen Bin nodded and said, "Well, we must hire the best designer to design Tsuen Wan Plaza for us." ”

Lin Zuhui thought for a moment and immediately said: "Although the new airport plan has not yet been officially finalized, the height limit must be considered." You can communicate more with the planning department of the Hong Kong government, and we must not slow down our speed because of this problem. I estimate that there is no problem in building an 88-storey building, and a little lower is acceptable. ”

Chen Bin nodded, he knew that the boss didn't care about the world's tallest building, after all, Tsuen Wan is not Central, what does the world's tallest building mean!

The new airport plan was originally determined in October 1989, but due to the Hong Kong government's scheming, it actually wanted to invest 100 billion yuan, that is, it wanted to use up all the reserve funds of the Hong Kong government, and only leave 5 billion yuan for the Hong Kong government behind it. How can this work, the money from the government after Jiuqi operates.

Therefore, the new airport plan dragged on. The Hong Kong government can't repair it, because this kind of project requires a loan, and the project needs to span a long time.

If the bank doesn't agree, the bank will not dare to lend, because what if the Xingang government does not recognize it in the future?

Just drag it on, and according to history, it should be solved in July next year!

At that time, real estate and stock markets will rise again.

For this big project in Tsuen Wan, Lin Zuhui roughly estimated that he would have to invest 10 billion yuan, but because there are a large number of residential buildings sold, there is no problem with funds.

Eventually, there will be two large shopping malls – Citywalk and Tsuen Wan Plaza, as well as two towers (office buildings and five-star hotels) with one 88-storey and one 42-storey

After Chen Bin left, Lin Zuhui thought about the progress of the project.

Not too fast, not too slow!

It is best to start construction in 1992 and complete it in 1996.

This project only needs to make up part of the land premium, i.e. the Tsuen Wan Plaza part, and the rest of the residential land is exchanged for land exchange rights.

As Jiuqi approaches, the Hong Kong government also intends to take back all the land exchange rights in the New Territories - that is, land exchange, so the Hong Kong government has recently granted more land in the New Territories.
