In early October, Lin Zuhui led a group of people to the mainland again and signed 10 projects in one go, with a total investment of 6 billion Hong Kong dollars; Infrastructure projects (highways, bridges, power plants, ports) occupy 8, all of which are joint venture projects, and the mainland accounts for 50%~70% of the shares; The remaining two projects are the second LEIT garment factory in Dongguan City (covering an area of 1,000 acres) and the second beverage factory in Modu.

At this time, his total investment in the mainland has become nearly 30 billion yuan, which can be called the largest Hong Kong investor.

Of course, Li Chaoren is not to be outdone, and he almost has more than 20 billion;

Zheng Yutong ranked third, almost 15 billion.

Although the New Era Group has invested 30 billion, it is actually about 6 billion yuan, and the rest are loans; Even the 6 billion funds can be taken out within about a year and a half.

Lin Zuhui summed up that this year's mainland investment is almost the same as the World Financial Center of the Magic City.

With so much investment, Lin Zuhui thought that he might not be able to escape the scolding of mainland netizens in the future; He didn't care, after all, with his amorous characteristics, he must have no reputation.

However, he does avoid a few things:

He does not invest in projects that destroy ancient buildings, such as Oriental Plaza and Sanqi Lane in his previous life;

As much as possible, avoid hoarding land without development, hoarding is certain, but in the end it will be more than 7 percent of the development rate;

For long-term investment, cashing out in 2015 is appropriate (strategic cashing out, not exceeding Lao Li), while Central Plaza and commercial buildings do not cash out for long-term rent collection;

Avoid investing too much in infrastructure projects so as not to become a 'toll collector', and at the right price you can redeem ZF (when ZF decides to be free) so as not to cause public outrage.

Lin Zuhui once again completed the feat of personal donation of 200 million yuan this year, which is for the education of Shuchuan and Guangdong Province, with basic schools as the main and universities as the supplement.

This is no longer a premium payment, but a trace of kindness from Lin Zuhui himself, who feels that 200 million is nothing to himself, but he may be able to help others. Overseas, he also donated, but only one-tenth of that in the mainland.

Friday, October 9.

In the office of ACN Center, Chen Bin walked into Lin Zuhui's office,

Chen Bin, who had just returned from an inspection in Canada, could see that he had not had time to rest well, so he returned to work.

Lin Zuhui did not praise him for his desperate way of working, so he educated: "You are also the president of a multinational company now, and you can't even arrange your own rest time." There are so many senior employees in the company, and when they go to inspect, they don't have to do everything themselves. Moreover, I also hope that you, the senior management, will train the company's management more. ”

Chen Bin hurriedly said: "The boss is right, I will pay attention in the future." ”

Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hmm." Tell me, what's the catch? ”

Chen Bin took a sip of the brewed tea, straightened out his thoughts, and then reported: "We have reached a preliminary agreement with Marathoy Canada (the real estate arm of the Canadian Pacific Railway) to jointly develop the new town and tourist area of Gaohao Port. The 64-acre harbor has initial plans for 2,200 luxury residential units, 2.2 million square feet of commercial space, and a luxury hotel with 300 yacht berths. ”

Lin Zuhui asked: "Does the Canadian side have any requirements?" ”

Chen Bin nodded and said, "They want us to set up a real estate company in Canada!" ”

Lin Zuhui said: "There is no problem with this, I will go to Canada later and finalize this project." ”

Speaking of which, New Era Group has a listed hotel company in Canada, which is mainly three- and four-star executive hotels. However, there is no need for this project to be listed under the banner of a listed company, and the original benefits are only half.

This project was actually introduced by Richman, and Lin Zuhui also felt that it was very worth the investment, although the return on investment in Canada is not high, but because it is a developer, it can at least guarantee an annual rate of return of more than 15%.

Importantly, it is also nice to have a long-term hold for commercial buildings and hotels.

In the vicinity of Jiuqi for a few years, there are many Chinese immigrants to Canada, and they are not worried about sales.

"There is also a project in Malaysia that has an 86,000 sq ft commercial plot in Johor Bahru (near Singapore) that could lead to two 30-storey office buildings/four- and five-star hotels, as well as multi-storey shopping malls. The total rental area can reach 650,000 square feet, and it is estimated that an investment of 1 billion yuan will be required. ”

Lin Zuhui frowned slightly and said: "The land area ratio is so low, and the investment is not small!" ”

Chen Bin nodded and said: "In recent years, the real estate situation in Southeast Asia has been very good, thanks to the economic downturn in Europe and the United States, as well as the opening policy of Southeast Asia. ”

Lin Zuhui was relieved that the bubble economy in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia was about to start, and it would be very big in 1996; Soros and other European and American international speculators discovered the bubble in these countries in 1996 and then sniped at them.

Of course he is not interested, how much money does Soros make by sniping once?

He can't even look down on it!

He prefers to boil frogs in warm water, taking advantage of the general trend on foreign exchange, gold, and oil, and slowly scraping the oil.

"Well, the project in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, we will also do it, and win it as soon as possible!"

"Okay!"

Lin Zuhui has calculated that if he sold the office building at a high price in early 1996, and only kept the shopping mall and a small number of office buildings, he would definitely be able to make a lot of profit.

Lin Zuhui asked Chen Bin to go home early today to rest and come back to work tomorrow.

New Era Group implements a Sunday holiday, one day off a week, and 12 days of annual leave.

Weekends are definitely not normal, why should Chinese people be diligent, who makes us try to catch up with Europe and the United States!

After Chen Bin left, Lin Zuhui also felt a headache, and he wanted to take advantage of the good investment conditions to expand aggressively.

But though, New Era Group needs a lot of money to do it.

The investment in Gaohao Port and Johor Bahru City is not very big, so Lin Zuhui easily agreed to invest.

Next year's Canary Wharf project in London is estimated to be worth a total of 1.5 billion pounds (currently 1 pound equals about $1.5), which is about $2.25 billion.

Lin Zuhui plans to take 60% of the equity, after all, 10% is promised to Richman (need to be redeemed with money), and it is an investment of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

The money of the New Era Group is still not enough!

This year, 3 billion Hong Kong dollars of bonds will be issued, plus the remaining net profits, it is estimated that it will be more than 6 billion; Even if the net profit next year is 14 billion, there will be 20 billion for investment.

Next year, we will have to issue bonds and rights issues to raise funds, and we will have to raise at least HK$5 billion.

At present, New Era Group no longer needs to invest in foreign exchange, gold, and Hong Kong stocks to obtain non-recurring profits.

The $450 million U.S. stock he asked New Era Group to invest will reap returns of at least $9 billion by 2000.

Therefore, other financial investments will no longer bring New Era Group.

Lin Zuhui earns it himself, and when he earns it, he can take out a small part of it to buy the bonds of the New Era Group and participate in the rights issue.

Saturday, Fanling Golf Course.

Lin Zuhui, Lee Shau-kee, Zheng Yutong, and He Hongsheng, four Hong Kong and Macao elders, made an appointment to play golf together. In fact, in the eyes of the top rich, going to the horse farm is a waste of time, and everyone prefers the golf course.

To describe how much the wealthy in Hong Kong love golf, everyone often meets together to play the best golf overseas, such as the United States and Southeast Asia.

There is a lot of entertainment life among the rich people in Xiangjiang, playing cards, horse racing, and playing waves...... There are quite a lot of stories; In the early years, he often played with Uncle Tong with "oblique nails" and "hoe big d" (also known as hoe brother) The rich people include eldest brother Cheng, fourth brother, Uncle Xuan (Zhou Wenxuan) and others. They have a history of small gambling for decades, at first good mahjong, and then felt that mahjong was brain-consuming and time-consuming, so they turned to play "hoe big d". As for how much a card is, it is rumored to be five figures. Uncle Tong's "hoe big d" skill "Ma Ma" (general), the eldest brother Cheng and the fourth brother are winning generals. However, on the golf course, Uncle Tong is a step ahead.

Golf was originally a fashionable thing for foreigners, but with the rise of the Chinese, the number of friends among the Chinese gradually increased. Friends are either rich or expensive. Lin Zuhui, Cheng Yu-tung, Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee, the late Kwok Tak-sheng, as well as business upstarts Lin Jianyue, Liu Luanxiong, Zhao Shiguang, Rong Zhijian, etc., are all big friends on TRON.

It's easier to reach a consensus than sitting in an office.

"We only hold a 41% stake in UNMAC Petroleum (spending 70 million Canadian dollars, about 427 million Hong Kong dollars), and it is still not safe to control it, and next year we will try to buy another oil company and merge the two companies, so that we will have a greater say," Zheng said. ”

The four of them partnered to make a deal this year, and that was to enter the Canadian oil sector. Hong Kong businessmen are like this, if anyone invests in a certain field in a certain place, everyone may invest one after another.

Big Brother Cheng spent 10 billion in Canada to acquire Husky, and everyone naturally wants to follow in the footsteps. In fact, Hutchison Whampoa is currently losing a lot of money on Husky, and Big Brother Cheng even blames Ma Shimin for not running well (integrating resources), which is one of the reasons why Ma Shimin will step down next year.

Lin Zuhui has a 15% stake in the group, which is the smallest shareholder, because he knows that before 1999, there was no head in the oil sector. In 1998, oil fell to an all-time low of $9 a barrel. If you buy the bottom at that time, you will make a lot of money.

Out of friendship with friends, he invested in moderation, and if the business was a long-term plan, it would not lose money, and the rate of return might be good.

Everyone agreed, saying that they could buy a larger oil company next year, merge the two oil companies, and strive to squeeze into the top 20 oil companies in Canada.

Then, everyone asked Lin Zuhui curiously about investing in commercial real estate in the United States.

Lin Zuhui replied: "My company is doing this investigation, and now we will have to wait for the collapse of Olympia York, the largest private commercial real estate company, and then it will be considered to be at a low point." And, I heard the inside scoop that the New York government is setting up a special sale of properties that are mortgaged to banks, and that will be able to pick up the leaks cheaply. ”

Zheng Yutong said with a smile: "Zu Hui's connections in the United States are really powerful!" ”

Lin Zuhui said politely: "They are all friends made in the early stage of investment, what magical powers are there." In short, next year, it will still be profitable to invest in commercial real estate in the United States. Of course, the rate of return in Europe and the United States is not as high as it is, and I still take Xiangjiang as the center, and the second investment direction is the mainland. ”

Everyone thinks that in the 80s, these wealthy people in Hong Kong and Macao invested in Europe and the United States, and the amount was nearly 60 billion. As a result, none of them wished for themselves, and in the past year, everyone has withdrawn one after another to invest in Hong Kong and the mainland.

Of course, there are also those who do not give up and plan to share risks, for example, he knows that Zheng Yutong is planning to spend 6 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire a hotel group in the United States, which can be described as a big deal.

The Zheng family's investment in hotels is second to none in Hong Kong, but because of this, it is also at the bottom of the four major families.
