Chapter 472 [Celebrity Gathering]
Monday, 20 January 1992.
The great era has come, and the mainland has begun to set off an upsurge of reform and opening up.
Although the core of Lin Zuhui's career is Hong Kong, Hong Kong is connected to the mainland and has a great influence.
Therefore, affected by this incident, a new round of rise will be set off on the real estate and securities of Xiangjiang; Not only that, Lin Zuhui's business itself has become saturated in Hong Kong, and he is eager to share the pressure of more funds in overseas markets and mainland markets.
On the accounts of the New Era Group alone, there is a cash flow of 6.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and with the real estate soaring again, the profit of the New Era Group may exceed 8 billion this year, not counting the possible non-recurring profits.
The development real estate (for sale) of Hong Kong has been monopolized by the five major real estate developers of New Era, Sun Hung Kai, Cheung Kong, Henderson and New World, more than 70% of the share. If you add Hang Lung, Great Eagle, Sino and Wharf, the nine major real estate developers have monopolized 95% of the residential market in Hong Kong.
That day.
The commissioners of the Hong Kong Banking Regulatory Office and HSBC officially settled in the China Commercial Bank to review the financial situation of the bank. The results of the review are related to whether Lin Zuhui can use 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to win the overseas trust bank in the hands of the Hong Kong government.
Of course, just by going through the motions, just the reputation and actions of the original depositors of the State Commercial Bank are enough to show that Lin Zuhui's team has perfectly resolved a financial industry shock.
Lin Zuhui came to the conference room to check the progress, this does not need to be evaded, and it is impossible for the commissioners of the Banking Regulatory Office and HSBC to cheat.
"Everyone's hard work, you must carefully review, and if there is any problem, you must notify us to rectify!" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.
Zhuo Shengcai of the China Banking Regulatory Office responded: "Mr. Lin is worthy of being the richest man in Hong Kong, with excellent reputation, and he has been able to absorb 3.8 billion yuan in new deposits in just over half a year. This amount is already half of the level of Xiangjiang medium banks. ”
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I have won the prize, in fact, I have saved 1 billion cash." Isn't it popular for banks in Xiangjiang to find backing, and what oil, US dollars, and Japanese capital are used as backing, and the State Commercial Bank naturally needs backing, but this backing is naturally my personal funds. ”
Everyone has to admire Lin Zuhui's strong financial resources, although there are many wealthy people in Xiangjiang, but there are only a handful of billionaires who can come up with 500 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, assets are not equal to cash, and it is not a very short time to let Zheng Yutong take out 500 million in cash.
To give a simple example, this month Chow Tai Fook increased its stake in New World Development, taking out only HK$190 million in cash to increase its stake to 40.5%. If Zheng Yutong has money and wants to increase his holdings, it is naturally impossible to come up with this bit of cash.
Therefore, the so-called four major families, the combined cash is not enough to have Lin Zuhui's.
HSBC Commissioner Willis asked, "So did Mr. Lin withdraw the funds from the Overseas Trust Bank from the China Commercial Bank?" ”
Lin Zuhui said confidently: "I don't have to withdraw a single point, even my deposit will not be withdrawn." Mr. Willis, if I had borrowed money from your HSBC bank, I wouldn't have been rejected! ”
Willis immediately said, "I don't think so!" ”
Who will push this God of Wealth away!
In fact, everyone knows Lin Zuhui's performance, unlike the owner who is short of money, and it is estimated that he will not borrow from HSBC. But when Willis said this, he naturally hoped to recruit Lin Zuhui, a big customer.
New Era Group recently released a large-scale project, and HSBC is naturally keen on one of the loan projects.
Although Lin Zuhui opened a bank, it was mainly given to other real estate companies; The loans of the New Era Group are still handed over to other banks.
After a brief chat, Lin Zuhui left the conference room, and it seemed that there was no problem.
The management team of China Commercial Bank is the leader of Hong Kong Bankers;
Now, Lin Zuhui has recruited the management of the 'Octopus Financial Group', and they are all top talents.
Once the Overseas Trust Bank is in hand, Octopus Financial Group will be able to immediately operationalize and manage the two banks, and merge and change their names at the right time, which will probably be completed this year.
After admonishing the chief executive officer and vice chairman of the board of directors, Ho Cheong Hung, Lin Zuhui left the China Commercial Bank Building.
In Lin Zuhui's view, he only needs to avoid the risks of his own bank, open up relationships, and speak for it, for example, when he exited the Asian financial crisis, for example, in the mainland, he won the business in the mainland.
Lin Zuhui has no need to worry about the funds of the acquisition of overseas trust banks, and at the beginning of January, his foreign exchange investment began to cash out; However, due to the dollar/yen index soaring to 129 points in mid-January (originally below 125 points), he only cashed out 1.5 billion, and New Era Group successfully cashed out all of them.
However, in the drama of the last Friday (1.17), the USD/JPY index plummeted by almost 3%, falling back below 125 points (only 123 points).
Therefore, starting from today, Hengjin Investment will start to cash out again. According to the current situation, it is estimated that all of them can be successfully cashed out.
His cash flow will once again exceed 6 billion (1 billion deposits in the State Commercial Bank), and even if he spends 2.5 billion to buy overseas trust banks, there will still be 3.5 billion left.
As for the continuous rental income of Hengjin Real Estate, it is generally used for his personal expenses and the purchase of overseas assets for the fairies.
This year, the New Era Group is also ready to take out 1.5 billion dividends, and he can personally share about 750 million, and there will basically be no more rights issues this year. The investments are on a loan basis, so there is enough cash on the books to start many large-scale projects.
There should be no shortage of money!
Regent Hotel, a fashion retail group, held a launch conference for the new brand of 'Hong Kong Stream' high-end women's clothing here;
At the same time, a banquet was also organized, and many Xiangjiang celebrities were invited to help.
At the banquet, Kwan Jiahui, as the vice president and spokesperson of the fashion retail group, naturally attracted the most attention;
In addition, Li Jiaxin, who came to the banquet, was also very eye-catching.
I don't know when one of the most eye-catching celebrities appeared in the celebrity world in Xiangjiang, that is, Lin Zuhui's new lover Li Jiaxin. The celebrities and ladies in the circle couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs, and secretly sighed that this was fortunately Lin Zuhui's lover, otherwise they would have to be optimistic about their husbands.
Generally speaking, if you want to be a celebrity in Hong Kong, you must meet three conditions:
First, you must have a relationship with a rich person, whether you are marrying a rich man or a young lady, even if you make money yourself, you must have a relationship with a rich family. Because of this, although many stars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry make a lot of money and often attend parties, people's definition of them is always just a star, and they will not report on a certain celebrity.
Second, it is necessary to maintain a certain exposure rate, often attend some public events or gossip magazines, and who is more famous is not richer than whom. For example, Zhu Lingling is married to a wealthy family, but her family is very strict, and she usually will not show up unless she is in need, although her conditions are in line with celebrities, but because the exposure rate is too low, no one will think that there will be her existence among celebrities.
Third, it is the appearance to be able to get out of the hall, basically the celebrities are not ugly, the reason is very simple, even if it is not good-looking, just spend money to move a knife on the face. Others, such as being able to dress up and understand fashion trends, are no longer basic requirements for celebrities, this is their "instinct".
It stands to reason that the lover of a certain rich man who has not heard of him can be rated as a celebrity.
But no matter what, whether it is the media or the celebrity circle, I dare not say 'Li Jiaxin, you are not worthy of entering the celebrity circle'.
The reason is very simple, as long as the strength of the man is enough, then let alone the lover relationship, it is a scandalous relationship, which is also worth a hundred times.
During the banquet, Guan Jiahui and Zhang Tianai, a celebrity and fashion designer in Hong Kong, chatted hotly.
Zhang Tianai's attainments in the fashion industry are very high, so he is quite interested in the design and culture of the 'Hong Kong Stream' high-end clothing brand.
"What is the 'Hong Kong Stream' clothing brand, Miss Guan, can you tell me?" Zhang Tianai humbly asked.
Kwan Jiahui quoted Lin Zuhui's words and said: "I understand that this is the case with outstanding design and personality. However, the Hong Kong culture has just been born, so we are also innovating in clothing according to the content of the Hong Kong flow led by ATV! ”
Kwan Jiahui had her own clothing brand in her previous life, so Lin Zuhui has always encouraged her to create her own brand by relying on fashion retail brands. At present, the group has as many as 7 private brands, and all of them are relatively popular.
Zhang Tianai continued to say curiously: "Out-of-place design, what does it mean? ”
Guan Jiahui is still very friendly to Zhang Tianai, after all, others have a big coffee position in the clothing industry. Of course, her status in the Hong Kong fashion industry is not inferior to Zhang Tianai, because in the eyes of outsiders, the founder of fashion retail is her Kwan Jiahui, but she was finally merged and acquired by LEIT Group.
What's more, Kwan Ka Wai is a director of LEIT Group, and for this reason, she has a place in the Hong Kong fashion industry. LEIT Group is the LVMH of Asia, with a market value of more than 7 billion Hong Kong dollars, who dares to peek at the directors of this giant clothing giant!
"For example, the unconventional asymmetrical design is the most typical style, and the skirt length becomes irregular and asymmetrical."
Zhang Tianai suddenly realized, and said with admiration: "You guys are amazing to create a genre by yourself!" ”
Guan Jiahui was immediately honored, but still said modestly: "It's all influenced by Hong Kong culture, have you ever watched "Blue Life and Death Love"? ”
Zhang Tianai nodded and said with interest: "Look, I watch every episode, but this Hong Kong drama is too sad, right?" ”
Guan Jiahui immediately thought so, and said: "That's it! But ATV's meaning seems to be that the first Hong Kong drama must be to deepen the audience's impression and render the audience's emotions! ”
Zhang Tianai immediately gossiped and said: "I'm afraid it's not your man's idea!" ”
Guan Jiahui was immediately very useful, but still said: "That's there, he has so much time there!" ”
"That's just as well, he's so busy!" After Zhang Tianai finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Li Jiaxin, who was 'beautiful' not far away, and said in his heart: "So busy, but there is a lot of time to pick up girls!" ”
She wasn't too surprised that the relationship between the two lovers was so good; I'm afraid that the entire Xiangjiang citizens know that although Lin Zuhui is romantic, he has never broken the scandal of his women's fight. On the contrary, they are on the same stage and harmonious, but there are often news breakouts.
On the other hand, Li Jiaxin is also competing with celebrities.
A celebrity looked at the big pink diamond in Li Jiaxin's hand and praised: "How many carats is this diamond ring?" ”
Li Jia was pleased to see that someone took the initiative to mention it, not to mention how proud she was, and took the opportunity to show Qianqianyu's hand.
"6 carats! I don't wear a diamond ring under 5 carats! ”
When the celebrities heard this, they immediately felt that they were being shown off by Li Jiaxin.
Miss He on the side couldn't help laughing, she felt that she and Li Jiaxin were two people, mainly because Li Jiaxin liked to show off too much. However, she likes to be with Li Jiaxin, because she can get some useful information from her mouth, such as investing in real estate.
Not only that, because she and Lin Zuhui are friends, and the relationship between the two families is very good, so she and Li Jiaxin are recognized as good friends in the celebrity circle.
However, some celebrities said: "Jiaxin, no matter how rich you are, you don't have any beauty!" Someone else has a career! ”
Although the threshold of the celebrity circle in Xiangjiang is high, in the final analysis, it is a women's circle, and there are many unnatural and unnatural.
This look is provoking!
But Li Jiaxin is young after all, so she immediately said: "I also have shares in LEIT Group, and I am not less than her!" Besides, I now have investment companies in the United States and Hong Kong, and that is also my career! ”
When everyone heard the shares of LEIT Group, they couldn't help but marvel that the richest man in China was generous. How many rich wives and rich ladies, it is difficult to get shares in the family business.
Miss He couldn't help but give Li Jiaxin a look, which means: "Don't say anything outside!" ”
"What are you investing in?" For a while, all the celebrities became curious.
"Property, stocks, I have investments!" Li Jiaxin said proudly.
Fortunately, Li Jiaxin also knows the seriousness of the matter and will not shake everything out.
During this period, it naturally also attracted the favor of celebrities, who wanted to invest with Li Jiaxin, who doesn't know who is standing behind him!
The chaebols in Xiangjiang have gradually begun to have hierarchies, and some people have gradually arranged Lin Zuhui above the four major families, and he has the reputation of 'Chinese Chief D'.
Because Lin Zuhui not only holds the greatest wealth, but also controls the public opinion of Xiangjiang.
And under the four major families, there are the top ten chaebols;
Under the top ten chaebols, there are the top ten candidate chaebols.
As for some old families, who knows if they are in decline or hiding their wealth. In short, even if the influence declines, it will naturally rank behind the top ten candidate chaebols.
