Friday, August 29.

Central Plaza, Wan Chai, headquarters of New Era Group.

In the morning, Lin Zuhui was in the office, staring at the stock software on the computer.

In early 1996, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange officially launched the 'Automatic Order Matching System (AMS), which has been in the works for many years, and since then, stock trading can be carried out through the trading terminals of member (brokerage or bank) offices, and the so-called 'paperless' 'electronic trading' with the terminals of the exchanges. So far, the products and symbols of the era of physical trading such as stock certificates, trading halls, loud bids and 'blackboard quotations' have all become witnesses of history.

Of course, personal accounts are not yet the era of online trading, but you can watch the real-time price of stocks on the computer, but you can't buy and sell directly on the software. However, investors can buy and sell stocks in real time through a 'brokerage or bank' over the phone.

Looking at the red oil on the computer, Lin Zuhui couldn't help but show a smile, this is the calmness of the 'master'.

If you are red, it means that it will fall, which is the opposite of that in the mainland.

Today, the stock market in Xiangjiang, not long after the market opened, there was a scene of a plunge of 742 points, and it is obvious that the stock market is miserable.

After climbing to 17,150 points on August 7, the Hong Kong stock market began to plummet:

On August 19, the Hang Seng Index fell sharply by 620 points due to rumors that investment institutions were bearish on the Asian market and sold out;

On August 28, there was another panic sell-off in the market, and the Hang Seng Index plummeted by 660 points;

Today (8.29), the Hang Seng Index plummeted 742 points soon after due to the rapid decline that triggered the programmatic selling of institutional investors.

At this time, the Hang Seng Index was only about 14,550 points, a total drop of 2,600 points, or 15%, compared with 17,150 points on August 7.

However, it should be noted that international speculators have not yet moved to Xiangjiang, that is, the real disaster in Xiangjiang has not yet come.

Even, the vast majority of Xiangjiang citizens and investors do not realize that after the international speculators have looted in Southeast Asia, they will move to Xiangjiang, South Korea, and Taiwan Island. As for Japan, it may not be so easy because it is too big, but Japan cannot stand alone.

Since international speculators did not come to Hong Kong to snipe, the Lin Zuhui family office still cashed out nearly 1 billion Hong Kong dollars a day, accounting for about 10% of the daily trading volume, which will probably last until late September.

Although the market knows that there are institutions that are cashing out a lot, after all, there is not enough news horror of 'international speculators moving to Hong Kong'. And most investors are not aware of the seriousness of the situation at the moment, so the biggest panic is yet to come.

Because of this, there is no real decline in real estate in Xiangjiang, it can only be said that the market is still waiting, and keen investors have realized that something is wrong. The transaction volume of properties is beginning to be quiet.

To sum up, in the absence of external enemies, Xiangjiang's real estate and stock markets will not actually plummet, and the economy will not be affected so much.

But that's the beauty of the financial markets!

Lin Zuhui himself is very happy that international speculators will move to Hong Kong, not because he wants to be a 'national hero' to show off, but because he also expects the stock market and real estate in Hong Kong to plummet, and only he can buy the bottom; in addition, he believes that if international speculators snipe at Xiangjiang Finance, then in another year or two, he will cash out a large amount of US stocks, which can be regarded as 'fair'.

Of course, Lin Zuhui also doesn't want Xiangjiang's economy, stock market, and real estate to fall as badly as in his previous life.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui will rescue the market at 'a certain red line', which is actually a disguised bottom-copying.

"Knock Knock"

"Come in"

The person who came in was Yuan Tianfan, who came in with a copy of the document and handed it to Lin Zuhui.

"Boss, this is a proposal for 'Times Shipping'!"

Lin Zuhui put the plan in front of him and said: "The plan is ready first, after all, the Asian financial crisis has come, and the entire Asian economy will be hit hard, so shipping will also usher in a cold winter, and we need to wait for the opportunity to buy the bottom." ”

In his view, 1999~2001 is an opportunity for shipping to buy the bottom (ship), after the '9.11' incident in 2001, it is an opportunity to buy the bottom of the 'aircraft leasing' business; as for the logistics business, it can be arranged next year.

Yuan Tianfan nodded and said, "Hmm." It was during this time that I integrated the terminal business and shipping business, and put the structure of Times Shipping in order. ”

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "Yes, not only that, you can also pay attention to Li & Fung Group and formulate an acquisition plan." Of course, don't startle the snake first, Xiangjiang's economy is still unstable. ”

For the boss's general view, Yuan Tianfan can only use 'admiration for the five bodies to describe it', and the longer he followed, the more he found that the boss's ability was a god-like prophet.

Then, Lin Zuhui said: "I'll give you another task!" Take advantage of this Southeast Asian crisis, and put your business in Singapore in order! The first step is to increase the shareholding of Yang Xiecheng Group and privatize New Era Group (Sing Tao); Next, with Yeung Heep Seng Group as the flagship, we will invest heavily in the condiment sector, especially in the Mainland. ”

Yang Xiecheng originally started with sauces, and in addition, he was authorized by PepsiCo to produce PepsiCo, 7-Up, Mirinda, Mug Root Beer and other beers in Asia, which can be said to be a comprehensive enterprise.

In recent years, Hengchang Beverage and Food has also used the channels of Yang Xiecheng Group to sell beverages such as Wanglaoji and Baisuishan in the world.

Yuan Tianfan nodded and said, "No problem, I'm ready to prepare!" ”

The boss is putting him on his favorite job, so he's very motivated.

Lin Zuhui said: "Well, but the economy of Southeast Asia has not fallen to the bottom, you can plan your plan first, and I will give you a signal later." ”

"Okay"

Yang Xiecheng Group will be the flagship of listed companies in Southeast Asia, which Lin Zuhui has arranged very early; After the asset restructuring in Southeast Asia, it happened to go to the mainland to acquire Totole, and in the future, the mainland will take Totole as the flagship brand and vigorously develop condiments such as chicken essence, soy sauce and oil consumption.

Recently, he sent someone to investigate Totole and found that this company was preparing to go public in Xiangjiang and raise funds to build a factory (half of the project was completed); As a result, when he looked at the underwriter, Lin Zuhui smiled, it was his friend Liang Botao's Peregrine Company.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that Totole may not be able to go public, because Peregrine has closed down soon; If it can't be listed, it's like Totole needs funds the most, and the capital chain is broken.

Therefore, the acquisition of Totole next year is naturally a safe thing, and it will save it from selling foreign companies.

After Yuan Tianfan left, Lin Zuhui continued to think about the problem.

The opportunity is about to roll in, and he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to expand his business, so he must lay out in advance, which is also what he has always liked to do.

In his previous life, Li Chaoren's most powerful thing was the transfer of assets, which can be called a model of a businessman.

And in this life, Li Chaoren is the little brother in front of Lin Zuhui.

Lin Zuhui not only has a great asset transfer, but also sells high and buys low!

For example, because he knew that a financial crisis would break out in Asia, and Nike accounted for a relatively high proportion of sales in Asia, so in the first half of this year, after Nike's market value exceeded 20 billion US dollars, he immediately arranged for Hengjin Investment to cash out his 3.9% equity. As for when to buy it, Lin Zuhui feels that a 30% drop is almost an opportunity, so he plans to buy it below Nike's market value of 14 billion (it doesn't matter if you can't buy it, after all, there is still an Internet bubble crisis).

Selling high and buying low like this can make Lin Zuhui make a lot of money. When he invested in Nike, the market value was only about $3 billion, the bonus increased by seven times, and there was dividend income during the period, which can be described as a big profit.

Following the sharp decline at the end of August, the Hang Seng Index opened on September 1, and the index once again fell 710 points under the frantic sell-off of investors, causing heavy losses to investors and complaining repeatedly. However, in the following days, the Hong Kong stock market experienced a technical rebound, rising to 15,300 points on September 9.

This also confirms Lin Zuhui's point of view, that is, before international speculators move to Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index will still go back and forth for a period of time and will not plummet again.

Recently, in addition to the stock market, in early September, the media also broke the news that Guo Bingxiang was kidnapped by Zhang Ziqiang and the Guo family paid 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

This made Lin Zuhui very satisfied with the behavior of the 'big rich criminal group', and he should squeeze those 'real estate developers'.

In fact, Lin Zuhui's security team also found that someone seemed to be following, but then gradually disappeared; Because I wasn't sure, I didn't startle the snake.

However, Lin Zuhui and his family's security team is comparable to a national dignitary, and the 'tycoon crime syndicate' is unlikely to succeed in kidnapping with machine guns and explosives. Presumably, they also discovered this problem and targeted the wealthy who did it better.

Lin Zuhui is not heartbroken with billions of Hong Kong dollars, but he doesn't want to suffer half of the grievances for his family. Of course, even if the 'Tycoon Crime Group' targets the Lin family, it will definitely regard Lin Zuhui as a target.

As for his cheap old bean, he has already immigrated with his stepmother and her children.

Lin Zuhui also did not intend to interfere with the 'tycoon crime syndicate', anyway, everything went naturally, after all, if he went to put pressure on the Xiangjiang police, or put pressure on the mainland, it would make others think that he was 'greedy for life and afraid of death'.

As for his security team, he has been like this since he had money.
