Chapter 785 [Appetizer Only]
New Era Group Headquarters.
"Boss, there are two official land auctions on the 25th of this month, which are the land of Ma'anshan...... The reserve price is HK$1.206 billion, and the Sha Tin lot is ...... The reserve price is HK$469 million. Chen Bin walked into Lin Zuhui's office and reported.
This is the first land auction since the Hong Kong government stopped the official land auction in September 2002, that is, in the past one and a half years, the Hong Kong government has not sold land.
Because of this, the Hong Kong government's fiscal deficit is already very high.
The government first announced the land that could be auctioned, and if the real estate developer was interested, he would go to the Land Department of the Hong Kong Government to 'hook the land' and quote the price.
The Hong Kong government has a psychological price point for the land that is publicized, and if the real estate developers participating in the 'land acquisition' bid reaches their psychological price, or reaches a few percent of the psychological price.
Then, the Hong Kong government will decide whether the land will be auctioned or bid.
After hearing this, Lin Zuhui said: "At present, New Era Group has become a global comprehensive group, and even in terms of real estate, the total assets of overseas and mainland China are better than those of Hong Kong. Therefore, although we have sufficient funds, I am also very optimistic about the real estate prospects of Hong Kong. However, Xiangjiang is too small, and even if the New Era Group can eat alone, it can't eat alone...... Therefore, in recent years, our real estate projects in Xiangjiang should be 'according to demand', 'not pushing up land prices', in short, not giving people a sense of monopoly. ”
Chen Bin nodded, he wanted to ask for this opinion, as the president of the group, his natural boss is very optimistic about Xiangjiang Real Estate in the next few years; And the cash flow of the New Era Group is rolling in, and it is rolling more and more, so should it invest heavily in the real estate of Heung Kong?
If you invest heavily in Hong Kong's real estate, Hong Kong will have no rivals at all, but this will affect the reputation of the group, the reputation of the boss, and is not conducive to the unity of Hong Kong.
"No problem! The market in Hong Kong is still too small, but fortunately, in recent years, we have accelerated real estate investment in the mainland, Europe and the United States, and the funds will not be idle too much. ”
"There's no way to be idle, who told us to make it too fast." Lin Zuhui said with a smile.
However, in recent years, it has indeed bought a lot of real estate projects in Europe, the United States and the mainland - office buildings, shopping malls, high-end apartments and luxury houses, land banks.
These investments are expected to cease by the end of 2005;
In the first half of 2007, we had to slowly sell properties in Europe and the United States.
Of course, it will not be sold violently.
After all, the debt of New Era Group is not high, so it will sell about 30%~40% of its European and American assets, mainly those with poor rent collection or poor operation.
Nowadays, except for those emerging economic regions, the annual rate of return in the old countries of Europe and the United States has become very low; But if you know how to do t, then it will greatly increase the rate of return.
Importantly, Europe and the United States are politically stable and are very good investment regions.
And investing in the real estate business, ZZ risk is also minimal.
With the development of the New Era Group to this day, Lin Zuhui is not thinking about expanding the scale, but about protecting himself.
He estimates:
In 2004~2008, New Era Group had explosive income from real estate and shipping, and is expected to earn an average of 800~100 billion Hong Kong dollars per year.
After the outbreak of Lehman, it is natural to buy real estate projects around the world.
After 2009, the New Era Group can be said to be in full bloom - real estate, hotels, shipping, telecommunications, beverages and food, retail, new energy, mineral investment, etc.
Therefore, Lin Zuhui is now almost in the stage of 'career retirement', and he only needs to 'check the risk' for the group.
At present, New Era Group is one of the world's top 500 companies and ranks in the top 100.
You must know that the State Grid is the only one ranked in the top 50 of the world's top 500, and there are only three Chinese enterprises in the top 100.
At this stage, among the top 500 enterprises, Huaxia does not occupy much, only 18 (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan).
......
Saturday, May 22.
It is advisable to open a business and pay money.
The One Shopping Mall, located at 100 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, officially opened and was advertised in Hong Kong in advance.
In order to avoid too much impact, Lin Zuhui did not attend the opening ceremony, and even Wang Lingyin and Guan Jiahui did not attend the event. The One shopping mall has half of Wang Lingyin's equity, and The O fashion chain is 50,000 square feet (more than 30 brands), but Kwan Jiahui did not attend.
Li Jiaxin loves to be lively, and attended the event in the name of the boss, as well as her group of celebrity friends.
However, interviews, receptions and other activities are naturally in charge of the president of her company.
Even so, it has caused a lot of sensation in Xiangjiang, and the media have reported wildly, after all, Li Jiaxin has Lin Zuhui's titles such as 'confidant' and 'Lin family celebrity', and is the most favorite figure reported by the media.
At present, Lin Zuhui has been identified by the media as 'confidantes' related to Jiahui, Wang Zuxian, Lin Zixia, Li Jiaxin, only women who can find information by the media, and Lin Zuhui has acquiescence or reporters have photographed evidence.
And Wang Zuxian almost disappeared from the media as early as ten years ago.
Guan Jiahui and Lin Zixia's exposure is also getting less and less.
Therefore, Li Jiaxin is the most 'dazzling' woman, and even 'Mrs. Lin' Wang Lingyin is far from her exposure.
On the same day, the media rushed to the One mall to interview and take pictures.
Li Jiaxin refused to be interviewed, and the media frantically took pictures, so they could get the illustrated information.
The next day, almost all the media in Hong Kong reported on 'Li Jiaxin and Lam Cho-fai'.
"The confidant of the richest man in the world also has a net worth of tens of billions"
"With a net worth of nearly 10 billion, I am willing to be Lin Zuhui's lover"
For a time, public opinion began to ferment.
The gossip of the people of Hong Kong about Lin Zuhui is more important than the concern for his business achievements, and the media also like him.
.......
Day by day.
Lin Zuhui was wearing beach pants and short sleeves, sitting on the sofa, looking at the newspaper in his hand, and couldn't help but have a headache.
He is a celebrity, he can't hide from reporters, and the important thing is some gossip and scandals, which makes him more famous in the world.
Fortunately, these don't have much impact, because every rich man will have scandals and gossip, and Bill Gates's marital affair in his previous life was not a big deal. At most, the public paid attention to it at the time, and soon they will not pay attention again.
"We have to reduce Jiaxin's exposure!" A voice came, it was Lin Zuhui's genuine Wang Lingyin.
Lin Zuhui raised his head, his eyes instantly straightened, and there was still something about the scandal.
I saw that Wang Lingyin, Guan Jiahui, Li Jiaxin, and Lin Zixia came to him side by side.
Three black silks, one soft silk, each with an XG sundress, is charming!
Li Jiaxin changed her past and began to try all kinds of stockings, after all, she is no longer a girl, she is already 34 years old, of course, she looks like she is only in her early twenties, but she is still no longer girlish.
Because of this, Li Jiaxin became a little more xg, and began to try Lin Zuhui's favorite stockings.
The four women showed their charm in various ways, and Lin Zuhui also quickly paid tribute to them.
Fortunately, he is a person who has seen the world and is not in a hurry.
"Sit down!"
Wang Lingyin sat next to Lin Zuhui, and the three girls sat on the sofas on both sides.
"It doesn't matter! I don't care about you, live an easy life, what are you doing when you're so tired. Lin Zuhui said with a smile.
Li Jiaxin glanced at Wang Lingyin and said: "I haven't been interviewed for a long time, but the reporters are very annoying, always chasing after taking pictures and interviews, and I don't communicate with them." Actually, I don't want to be swaggering now, I used to want to be famous. After speaking, she took Guan Jiahui's arm, obviously a little cautious.
"Just pay attention, and let the rest be as it happens!" Lin Zuhui said again.
"Hmm"
In fact, Li Jiaxin and others are absolutely not allowed to take on 'commercial activities' since they followed Lin Zuhui, and they can go to help their friends, but they can't accept endorsements for money.
It's not that he's afraid of them being exposed, but he simply thinks that 'giving money for activities' is a shame on him!
In her previous life, after Li Jiaxin married Xu Jinhum, she also participated in endorsement activities to make money, and the price was more or less dropped.
Moment.
Li Jiaxin sat on the sofa, her hands tightly on the sofa leather, and her teeth gently bit her lips.
She lifted a pair of silky legs and placed them on the coffee table, slender and golden ratio, which is very charming for people with special hobbies.
Lin Zuhui seemed to appreciate antiques, gently swiping on Li Jiaxin's legs, feeling the magic power;
From time to time, I gently pulled up the soft stockings and released them, and I heard a charming sound of 'um'.
From time to time, I pinched the soft silk legs hard, felt the elasticity, temperature, and mysterious magic that was transmitted, and then let go, and heard a voice 'Ah'.
This is just Lin Zuhui's appetizer today, and that's it!
.....
New Era Group Headquarters.
Lin Zuhui was reading a newspaper and was attracted by a piece of news, and soon she grabbed the phone.
After a while, Wang Lingyin came to his office.
Lin Zuhui motioned for her to come to his desk, and Wang Lingyin walked towards him with elegant steps.
The office clothes made by people, with black silk high heels, noble and elegant temperament, S-shaped perfect figure, intellectual and beautiful face.
If she is not the chairman's wife, no, she will definitely be the chairman's wife.
As the daughter of the most beautiful wealthy family in Xiangjiang, Wang Lingyin is destined to be the wife of a rich man, just like a princess who will not marry a commoner.
Wang Lingyin saw Lin Zuhui's right hand pointing to a piece of news, and immediately paid attention to it.
"Any thoughts?" Lin Zuhui asked.
Wang Lingyin stood up straight, but she almost couldn't stand, but fortunately, Lin Zuhui's hand surrounded her, and Wang Lingyin gave Lin Zuhui a charming look.
A couple of almost 20 years can play such a radical Q, and it is also the only one.
"Brother Hui wants to buy 'Jing Xianli' and donate it to the government."
"I deserve to be the lady who knows me best!" The main building of King Yin Lane follows the traditional Lingnan courtyard layout, built in the Chinese Renaissance style, which is a rare example of the excellent blend of Chinese and Western architectural features, and also reflects the history of the rise of the Chinese business class in Hong Kong....... The entire building covers an area of nearly 50,000 square feet and is a rare monument (1937). However, now that the Hong Kong government has a large fiscal deficit, it is bound not to agree to buy it from the descendants of the Qiu family, and once it is purchased by other real estate developers, I am afraid that it will be ruined. There are few historical sites in Xiangjiang, so there is no reason not to protect them. ”
Wang Lingyin nodded and said, "Okay, the 'Lin Zuhui Family Foundation' bought this monument, and then handed it over to the government conservation unit for management, and it will be open to the public for free on a regular basis." ”
For a long time, the 'Lin Zuhui Family Fund' has been the only 'allocation unit' for Lin Zuhui's charity, and Wang Lingyin is the executor of this fund. Of course, there are a lot of people and staff in this foundation.
The 'Lin Zuhui Family Foundation' can be said to be the largest public welfare charity in China, and even the top institution in the world, the Lin Zuhui Family Foundation has always been keen on education, medical care, sports donations, and the recent annual donations of up to 2 billion Hong Kong dollars are very huge, of which 50% go to the mainland, 30% to Hong Kong, and 20% to overseas.
Of course, this is just the beginning, and after the majority of Penguin and Ali's holdings are included in the 'Lin Zuhui Family Fund', they will be able to contribute to society in a long-term and stable manner."
Doing these is just Lin Zuhui's sprinkling of wealth, and it does not affect his core wealth - the family office holds U.S. stocks/Hong Kong stocks, Hengjin Investment holds U.S. stocks, individuals hold more than 1,200 tons of gold, more than 200 billion deposits (and will continue to increase), and Hengjin Real Estate Investment.
As for the shares of each company, Lin Zuhui will pass it on to his son.
.......
In February this year, Qiu Ziwen, the owner of 'Jing Xianli', died of illness. Due to the value of Hong Kong real estate, with a land value of more than HK$500 million, the owner of the 'descendant', Qiu Mucheng, intends to auction King Yin Lane in May, and his actions are under pressure from Hong Kong environmental groups and the press. The Conservancy Society launched a "One Person, One Yuan" campaign to collectively invest in the purchase of King Yin Lane for conservation purposes, but the owners cancelled the auction, but no one could afford it.
Yau Mok Shing, the son of Yau Tsz-man, has been in contact with the Hong Kong government, but nothing has come of it, because the relevant departments of the Hong Kong government have been slow to respond and do not realize the historical importance of 'King Yin Lei'.
Soon, things took a turn for the better.
"The 'Lam Cho Fai Family Foundation' bought 'King Yin Lei' and will donate it to the Hong Kong government's conservation department."
"The Lin Zuhui Family Foundation will donate another 50 million Hong Kong dollars as a renovation fund, and after the renovation is completed, King Yin Li will be open to the public free of charge."
With the media reports, Lin Zuhui has earned back some 'good reputation'.
"It's rare!"
"What a rarity, doesn't Lin Sheng donate 2 billion Hong Kong dollars every year!"
"What I say is rare is because Lin Sheng generally only donates to charity in the field of education, and it is really rare to care about cultural relics and monuments this time."
"In this way, Li Sheng donated a temple last year, maybe it was affected by this, right?"
"Maybe!"
A total donation of 550 million yuan cannot be said to have brought Lin Zuhui's reputation to a very high level, but it can reduce some of the additional effects of his getting richer.
Although the citizens of Xiangjiang also receive tens of billions of dividends every year, Lin Zuhui alone gets the same amount, which obviously has an additional impact.
Lin Zuhui doesn't absolutely care, but he still pays attention to his reputation in this area, so it is normal to offset the negative impact by donating.
Coupled with his contributions in the field of 'culture and technology', on the whole, he has a much better reputation than Li Chaoren in his previous life.
After all, Li Chaoren's business is only in traditional fields such as real estate, energy, ports, infrastructure, and retail, and has not created any products.
And Lin Zuhui's business also includes 'culture' and 'technology', of course, not at the same level.
No matter how rich the citizens of Xiangjiang are, it is impossible to do anything to Lin Zuhui, when everyone knows that 'Hong Kong Stream', 'Technology', 'Hong Kong Man' and so on were brought to Xiangjiang by Lin Zuhui, his status is naturally very high.
