In the magic capital, Lin Zuhui showed his true colors again, and the city government proposed to build two commercial plots of about 3~50,000 square meters respectively on the subway in the 'quiet area' and 'XH area', and build 'Central Plaza' and 'Magic City Grand Gateway Plaza', with a total investment of about 6 billion RMB.

Modu officials welcomed it, and the two sides will enter the negotiation stage and strive to finalize the two projects as soon as possible.

According to Lim's idea, the two projects will start almost simultaneously, and then be completed and put into use before the millennium.

Wednesday, March 11.

Lin Zuhui and his entourage came to Modu Port, accompanied by municipal officials, and Chen Xuyuan, chairman of Modu Port, received them.

After the inspection, Lin Zuhui said unceremoniously: "The planning and design, equipment, etc. of Modu Port are really too backward. Such a port cannot support the rapid economic development of the magic capital in the future. ”

Chen Xuyuan was stunned, you know, this is he led thousands of workers, eating and sleeping, building bridges and paving roads, with perseverance, without any precedent, relying on manual construction of Yangshan deep-water port in three years, and summed up a lot of experience, made a great contribution to the construction of the deep-water port.

Now, this young man is so critical that he is a little angry!

Of course, he knew that what Lin Zuhui said was the truth, and the gap definitely existed.

"Mr. Lin, you don't know the history of Modu Port!" Chen Xuyuan had no choice but to say in an urn.

He knows Lin Zuhui's fame, the richest man in China, and he is self-made, and now he is still the most important Hong Kong businessman in the mainland, so this rebuttal is relatively friendly.

Lin Zuhui immediately smiled and said, "I know the history of Modu Port, Chairman Chen, am I right?" ”

Chen Xuyuan said: "Yes! Under that condition, we can develop the magic capital port to the best of our ability! ”

Lin Zuhui nodded and sent an invitation to Chen Xuyuan: "Chairman Chen, I don't know if you are willing to send a team to Xiangjiang to inspect the Kwai Chung Container Terminal, which is the busiest container terminal in the world; I would also like you to send a team to Europe to visit Port Felixdus in the UK, which is the busiest container terminal in the UK. If you are willing, we at Asia Container are willing to arrange it, as we own two container terminals in Kwai Chung and Port Felixdu. ”

This is the reason why he directly named Modu Port at the beginning, and directly proposed to cooperate, Chen Xuyuan may not agree immediately. As long as he can see the strength of Asian containers, he will make up his mind to bring in Hong Kong capital.

Chen Xuyuan thought for a moment and said, "If we can, we do want to investigate." I know what Mr. Lin means, he wants to participate in the cooperation of Modu Port, right? Only then did he know that the richest man at a young age was so cunning.

Lin Zuhui said generously: "Why not? The motherland has opened its arms, and it is natural for us Hong Kong capital to participate in the construction of the motherland. ”

That's a terrible thing!

For a time, the mainland officials accompanying him echoed one after another.

Lin Zuhui's identity is particularly important, this is what was said above!

Chen Xuyuan also knew that Lin Zuhui was amazing, and it was natural to want to cooperate, but he also knew that this was an opportunity.

Next, everyone left their contact information, if Chen Xuyuan and others came to Hong Kong for inspection, Asia Container would personally receive them and arrange the inspection work of Kwai Chung and Port Felixdu.

At present, New Era Group has a 35% stake in Asia Container because it bought part of its stake from Sea and Land Containers. Moreover, under the leadership of New Era Group, the strength of Asian containers in all aspects has been greatly improved.

Of course, Lin Zuhui plans to only invest in the port of Modu and give up the port investment in Guangdong Province.

There are two reasons: first, in Guangdong Province, Li Chaoren has worked hard for a long time, and Lin Zuhui may not have won it; Second, there are too many shareholders in Asia Containers, and everyone may not agree with Lin Zuhui's crazy expansion; Third, the rate of return on the port is not high, and there is still no need to invest too much.

The magic capital once again ordered three projects, and Lin Zuhui was satisfied and ready to return to Hong Kong.

The six projects are very large, but they actually account for less than 10% of the total investment of New Era Group.

Just one Tsuen Wan Plaza is a big project of 18 billion yuan, and the six projects in the mainland together are not as big as it.

Of course, the start-up capital of this project is only about 20%~30%, and the rest is all in the loan situation.

13 March, Hong Kong.

Lin Zuhui is in a very good mood in the office of ACN Center.

New Era Group (Huaxia) already has seven projects planned in the mainland, including the Yangcheng Ring Road, which it invested in in 1990.

And all projects in the mainland need to be finalized by Lin Zuhui himself to avoid unnecessary losses. The same is true for overseas investments, which need to be invested carefully.

After a while, Yuan Tianfan came to Lin Zuhui's office.

"Boss, the Wanglaoji beverage factory in Yangcheng has been completed, and various equipment is being installed!"

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "Well, this summer, we will officially sell Wang Laoji in the mainland." Remember, there is no problem with our products, as long as you keep working hard to market and build channels in the mainland market, you can accumulate time to make Wong Lau Kee one of the best-selling beverages in the mainland. ”

Yuan Tianfan nodded and said: "Well, Wang Laoji's sales in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have risen significantly recently, and it seems that the advertisement of 'if you are afraid of getting angry, drink Wang Laoji', has begun to take root in the hearts of the people." ”

Lin Zuhui said: "Accurate positioning is our advantage. The Southeast Asian market also needs to be opened slowly! ”

Yuan Tianfan replied: "The sales channel has been built, and now we are working hard to advertise!" ”

In fact, Lin Zuhui values the mainland market the most, and the overseas market is just trying to promote!

Then, Yuan Tianfan asked: "At present, the teams of Jinmailang and Nongfu Spring have been formed. Boss, when will we enter the mainland to invest? ”

As Lin Zuhui's executive, Yuan Tianfan was deeply impressed by Lin Zuhui's several plans, Nongfu Spring, Baisui Mountain, Jinmailang, Tangdaren, etc., from the product direction, publicity, etc., the boss has formulated a good and complete plan.

And now, the mainland market has opened up again, which is a godsend.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will go to the mainland in April!" Before that, you go to the UK and adjust the telecommunications industry there: gradually end CT2 in the UK by the end of this year, and set up Orange, which will then specialize in digital cellular services. ”

Knowing that the development of CT2 is not going well, Lin Zuhui still chooses to let Times Communications develop, because the technology of digital cellular communication network services is not yet mature; And he also needs to lay the groundwork for BT.

Now that this technology has come out, Times Communications naturally wants to take the lead in development.

Yuan Tianfan said: "CT2 has only been launched for 6 months, and it will end at the end of the year? ”

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "The CT2 technology is too poor (it needs to be cooperated with a pager), I have long expected it to be eliminated, but there is no better technology." The advent of digital cellular communication networks today is exactly the communication mode we need to develop. And, now that we have a ticket to BT, we can decide for ourselves. ”

Yuan Tianfan said with admiration: "The boss has always seen the long-term in his work, and I am afraid that Times Communications will be ahead of Hutchison Communications because of this." However, the CT2 development on the Xiangjiang side should last for a year or two, and then switch to digital cellular, which can save some costs. ”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "In the communication market of Xiangjiang, we only need to focus on participation. Hong Kong Telecom is like our prey, sooner or later! After all, no matter how it develops, how can it compare to Hong Kong Telecom, the second largest company in Hong Kong by market capitalization! ”

Hong Kong Telecom's market capitalization is second only to HSBC, with 16,000 employees, which shows its huge strength.

Yuan Tianfan was surprised, the boss actually regarded Hong Kong Telecom as a prey, you must know that in order to survive the Nine Days, Hong Kong Telecom also deliberately placed shares to CEFC and Guangdong Telecom Company.

Seeing that Yuan Tianfan was a little surprised, Lin Zuhui continued: "Of course, this is a matter for the future, we don't need to think about it now!" ”

"Okay!"

After Yuan Tianfan left, Liang Zhenxun then walked in.

"Boss"

"Well, sit down first!"

Then, Liang Zhenxun reported to work, he is the chief financial officer, and he needs to report the group's financial situation to Lin Zuhui at any time, so as to facilitate Lin Zuhui to make investment decisions.

Don't look at the New Era Group has invested a lot recently, but there are still nearly 5 billion Hong Kong dollars in the account. This is still just a dividend of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars paid to investors.

After all, according to Lin Zuhui's profit forecast for the New Era Group in 1992, it will be as high as 9 billion a year; This is equivalent to an average of 8900000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

After listening to the report, Lin Zuhui felt in his heart that the funds of the New Era Group were still not much.

However, there is no hurry, with the credibility of New Era Group, it can raise billions of funds at any time, as well as issue convertible bonds (also known as zero-coupon bonds, because the interest is paid together with the principal at the end, and the interest rate is relatively low). After expiration, investors can choose to exchange shares at the agreed price, or they can choose to get back the principal and interest)

You can even take out a loan, after all, the debt is 8 billion, which is not worth mentioning for a group with assets worth 100 billion.

"The funds are very sufficient, so this year I will probably spend 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to go to the United States to buy commercial real estate! In addition, the mainland also needs about 20~3 billion start-up capital. ”

"Okay, I'll take care of the finances!"

The two have already cooperated skillfully, Liang Zhenxun only needs to take care of the finances in an orderly manner, Lin Zuhui will find a way to spend money if he is short of money, and Lin Zuhui will personally finalize the matter of spending money.

After Liang Zhenxun left, Lin Zuhui thought about it.

He almost couldn't help but ask Liang Zhenxun to arrange funds again to short USD/JPY.

USD/JPY climbed above 130 in early March and continued to rise to 134 as of today.

Hengjin Investment began to short sell in early March, short 2 billion Hong Kong dollars (100 million margin) per day, and today is the ninth day, with an average short price of about 132.5 points.

It stands to reason that the New Era Group will come in again to sell short at this time, which is more insurable than Hengjin Investment.

However, Lin Zuhui still decided to give up, the first is that the New Era Group has gotten rid of the lack of money, and the second is that Lin Zuhui intends to use rights issues to raise funds and issue bonds.

So, there's no need to make non-recurring profits!

What's more, it is better for Lin Zuhui to add another 500 million Hong Kong dollars to short selling, and when he makes money, he can also take it out to participate in the rights issue fundraising.

New Era Group needs to raise funds through rights issues, because it can have more shareholders (many of the original shareholders will not choose rights issues) and join more new shareholders. Of course, Lin Zuhui participates in the rights issue every time, so the proportion of his shareholding will not be diluted.

Including the discovery of convertible bonds, Lin Zuhui himself has to claim half of it to ensure that his shares are not diluted.

In fact, the development of the New Era Group has been so huge and good, if it is replaced by Lee Shau Kee, Kwok Bingxiang, and Zheng Yutong, they will enjoy dividends as much as possible, although they will also invest, but they will never take such a big step.

But Lin Zuhui is different, he is bound to develop the New Era Group into a world-class real estate company, as well as a comprehensive group; So, keep investing and reinvesting.

For example, if the commercial real estate in the United States does not buy a lot of money this year, there will be no such good opportunity in the future; Similarly, London's commercial real estate is about to fall to a low point, and I am sorry not to buy the bottom.

Therefore, just by copying the commercial real estate in New York and London, Lin Zuhui is ready to invest in two large amounts.

Lin Zuhui is now waiting for the bankruptcy of Canada's largest commercial real estate company, Olympia York, and then it will be the best opportunity to enter the game, which should be this year.

This real estate company owns a large number of office buildings in New York! That's not the point, if the company goes bankrupt, it will cause New York's commercial office to fall again.

At present, the vacancy rate of office buildings in New York and London has reached more than 20%, which is far less sluggish than expected.
