Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is December (2012).

Singapore's long-stalemate Frasers Group acquisition battle entered the bidding process on December 1, with the two bidders being New Era Group and TCC Asset Management, led by Thai businessman Su Xuming.

As TCC Asset Management, which had originally bid a lower price, did not raise the price on the same day, New Era Group won. This means that New Era Group has no competitors in the bidding war, and has repelled a total of six countries' consortia.

However, for New Era Group to complete the acquisition, it still needs the approval of other shareholders of Frasers Group.

At this time, the shareholding of New Era Group has been as high as 43%, while TCC Asset Management is only 16%, and the balance of victory is already in favor of New Era Group.

And, with the economic slump in Europe and the United States again, the shareholders of Frasers Group are bound to sell urgently.

The final price offered by New Era Group was S$10.25 per share, valuing Frasers at S$14.76 billion (US$12.1 billion), a premium of about 20%.

At present, Frasers Group still holds businesses including real estate, beverage and publishing businesses.

The other side.

In the contest with Heineken Group, New Era Group also won strongly, spending 5.2 billion US dollars to acquire the Asia-Pacific brewing shares held by Heineken Group, and Heineken Group almost withdrew from the Asian market for 80 years.

Time & Newcastle Brewery Group acquired 30 breweries and 26 brands owned by Asia Pacific Brewing in 14 countries (14 brands controlled by Heineken Group withdrew from Asia Pacific Brewing), including the famous Tiger Beer.

The acquisition involved more than 24 billion US dollars (12 billion US dollars for Asia-Pacific Brewing and 12.1 billion US dollars for Frasers Group), and was promoted to the top ten global mergers and acquisitions of the year, which was widely reported by the media.

The American media used the phrase "every less than 2 years, the world's top ten acquisitions must have the footprints of the world's richest man" to describe the consortium led by Lin Zuhui.

At the same time, many media focused their reports on the second generation of the Lin Zuhui family, using the 'successor of the trillion consortium' to make a big splash.

........

New Era Group Headquarters.

In Lin Zuhui's office, he convened several high-level executives for a meeting, including the group's four troika - Chen Bin, Liang Zhenxun, Yuan Tianfan, and Lin Wenjie.

"The takeover is over, and it coincides with the global financial crisis, and we are not really winning." Lin Zuhui commented.

As a result of the strong determination and ambition, the cost was almost $3 billion, of which $2 billion was spent on Asia-Pacific winemaking.

Of course, if it weren't for the $3 billion, it would not have been the turn of New Era Group to win the long-term assets of Frasers Group and Asia-Pacific Wine.

Lin Zuhui understands a truth, 'asset speculation' can only be a 'temporary plan', not a 'long-term plan'.

If you want to lay a more solid foundation for your son, you can only buy those old brands, and Tiger Beer and Frasers Group are both old brands in Singapore. Needless to say, Tiger Beer, and Frasers Group has this comment in the hearts of Singaporeans, 'Produced by Frasers Group, must be a high-quality product', referring to the properties it develops.

The four of them immediately understood the meaning of Lin Zuhui's words, and waited for Lin Zuhui to continue to comment.

"Next, integrating resources and taking a long-term view is the real victory. Asia-Pacific brewing should quickly integrate into the 'Times & Newcastle Beer Group', and while integrating resources, it must maintain a certain degree of independent operation to achieve a win-win situation. ”

With the acquisition of Asia-Pacific Brewing Group, 'Time & Newcastle Beer Group' has become the third or fourth beer group in the world, and it is estimated that it is only behind 'AB InBev' and 'Heineken Group'.

"On the side of Frasers Group, we should support it to operate independently, deeply cultivate the Southeast Asian market, and then radiate overseas. Frasers Group will continue to play in the three major areas of 'high-quality residential', 'serviced apartment' and 'investment, construction and management of commercial real estate'. When the time is ripe, it will be re-listed in Singapore. ”

It's just a few comments, but it directly sets the general direction. That is, the assets acquired this time must ensure a certain degree of independent operation, rather than forcibly integrating resources; While operating independently, it must maintain resource sharing and supervision and management with the headquarters.

"Yes, Chairman!"

"Wen Jie, you follow everyone and study hard!"

"Okay, Chairman!"

It goes without saying that it is to let three carriages take Lin Wenjie and accumulate more experience.

This time, Lin Wenjie participated in the acquisition of 24 billion US dollars, and he was almost the leader, and Yuan Tianfan became a qualified master, and while delegating power, he also supervised and guided.

After the acquisition, there are still some jobs, and naturally the three Taifu are all apprentices.

In fact, everyone doesn't understand why Lin Zuhui is only 47 years old, why is he in a hurry to retire?

Fortunately, the eldest son of the boss did inherit the mantle of the boss, which made everyone very satisfied with his skills.

At the end of the meeting, Lin Zuhui left Lin Wenjie.

"Do a good job, in the next year or two, I will transfer most of the shares of the New Era Group to you in trust!"

In 2006, Xiangjiang has abolished inheritance tax and other related taxes, so the wealthy inheritance does not need to worry about the loss of assets.

Lin Wenjie was shocked and said, "Father..."

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "You just need to know, don't think too much, work hard." In short, wealth is not a problem for our family, only families with insufficient wealth will fight for it. I gave you most of the shares earlier, but I also hope to dilute the wealth and keep a low profile. ”

He plans to give Lin Wenjie 34.8% of the shares of the New Era Group in the next two years, and retain more than 16% of the shares for himself.

"Yes, father." After Lin Wenjie stabilized his mood, he said calmly.

"Well, go ahead!"

Lin Wenjie should understand that he can only get the major shareholders of the New Era Group, and his two younger brothers will get Octopus Financial Group and Media Group.

As for the Leit Group, there is no candidate yet, but he will not count on it, because his father did not let himself know about the rest of the company, and obviously he did not intend to give it to him.

In fact, as Lin Zuhui's son, Lin Wenjie also knows that his father's health is very good, and he may not be able to outlive his father. But because my father is in good health, his energy is not all on his career.

Hong Kong people say that Lin Zuhui is extremely romantic, but he gave birth to a dedicated son, Lin Wenjie married his first love, and received a lot of praise.

........

After getting off work in the evening, Lin Zuhui took a car to the 'Twelve Peaks' at No. 12 Galley Mountain Road, and the security guard at the door saw Lin Zuhui sitting in the car and immediately let him go.

The security here is not ordinary security, but a security company belonging to the Lin Zuhui family, why is this so?

Originally:

'Twelve Peaks' was bought by New Era Group in 2006 at a price of HK$1.92 billion, and then spent a huge amount of money to build 12 independent villas, with a construction and decoration cost of more than HK$1 billion, with a total property area of 48,800 square feet for the 12 villas, with an average of 4,000 square feet each, each with an independent swimming pool.

The Twelve Peaks were originally built for Lin Zuhui personally, so in recent years, Lin Zuhui and his woman have used offshore companies, investment companies, and personal names to win these twelve villas, with a total consideration of 5.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, with an average of 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

Since it is not an offshore company, an investment company, or a person who is not familiar to everyone, and New Era Group is very confidential about the sale of Twelve Peaks; So, it's quite mysterious here.

Reporters only know that the mansion here is built, but they don't know who lives inside, and it is impossible for reporters or agents to enter Twelve Peaks.

Lin Zuhui came to a southernmost villa and saw Gu Li and the nanny open the door for his car.

"Brother Hui" saw Lin Zuhui get out of the car, and Gu Li happily greeted him.

Lin Zuhui put his arm around her millennial waist and asked with a smile: "How is it, are you used to Hong Kong?" ”

Gu Li said happily: "I like Xiangjiang so much, Sister Bingbing and Sister Yuanyuan take me to play, and I am not uncomfortable at all!" ”

It is true that there are some people in Xiangjiang who look down on mainlanders, but in fact, it is the same as the people of Modu who look down on outsiders.

But anyway, as long as you have money, you can look down on anyone.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Your Sister Bingbing and Sister Yuanyuan have been in Xiangjiang for almost ten years, and they are very familiar with this place, I believe that you will soon live here, and it will be very good to come on vacation often." ”

"Well, then I'm going to work hard to learn Cantonese!"

The two chatted and walked into the villa.

"Guli, this villa is your home in Hong Kong in the future." Lin Zuhui leaned on the sofa and said comfortably.

Gu Li flashed a hint of surprise, and immediately came to Lin Zuhui, and said coquettishly: "Brother Hui, you are so good to me, and you are so attentive, you are not afraid that I will dump you, isn't it a bamboo basket for nothing!" ”

Lin Zuhui approached and said, "Are you willing?" After speaking, he looked at Gu Li playfully.

Only then did she take a few dollars, how could a woman be willing to give up. Lin Zuhui seems to give these women a lot of money, but in fact, it is just a drizzle for him.

Many women, who have followed Lin Zuhui for more than ten years, have risen to billions or tens of billions, and they still want to continue to get rich. Of course, these women were indeed conquered by Lin Zuhui, not only for money reasons.

Gu Li decisively kissed Lin Zuhui and separated for a long time.

"Hehe, I'm reluctant!"

After a while, Fan Binbin and Gao Yuanyuan came to the villa with their children for a party, and Lin Zuhui took the opportunity to interact with the children for a while; In the middle of the night, the nanny took the child back to her villa, leaving the three daughters to accompany Lin Zuhui.

Of course, there are programs, and Lin Zuhui likes to watch the three girls dance the most, especially Guli's dance.

In fact, the twelve villas of Twelve Peaks have become Lin Zuhui's private palace.

This is also the reason why Lin Zuhui wants to obtain these properties through offshore companies or investment companies, it is nothing more than to keep them secret, even the security and property are all from the Lin family.

As for whether the 12 people need to know each other, Lin Zuhui feels that at least the four Korean people don't need to be introduced to everyone, just a separate team.

.......

Kowloon, Bank of Bahrain Building.

Lin Zuhui listened to Lin Wentao's work report on the 'Canada Goose'.

"I paid $250 million to buy a 65% stake in Canada Goose, and the founding family still holds 35% of the shares...... Rhys, the third generation of the founder's family, is a relatively good manager, and he plans to use the funds to market Canada goose products....... And we, the Bank of Bahrain, strive to list the Canada Goose within five years...."

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "How is your relationship with that Rhys?" ”

Lin Wentao replied: "It's okay, everyone is relatively young, and many ideas can coincide." ”

"Well, you can invite Canada Goose to open a store in Hong Kong, sponsor top Hong Kong stars, and bring Canada Goose to Asia through airport catwalks. In fact, marketing is also done in Europe and the United States, using the celebrity effect to make a strong influence in the world fashion circle...... Canada goose is just a 'handicraft workshop', and it is unrealistic to increase the yield too much, so it must be good to go in a luxury and fashionable style...."

Lin Wentao's eyes lit up, and he understood that his father was teaching his skills, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, chairman, for your advice!" ”

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Just give them advice, I believe others also understand these truths." ”

"Okay"

After Lin Wentao left, Lin Zuhui showed a contemplative state, through observation and understanding, Lin Zuhui will definitely be transferred to Octopus Bank as an executive director in another year, and slowly take over the entire Octopus Financial Group.

His so-called succession is to let these sons serve as president, and he retains the chairmanship; And even if 34.7% of the shares are handed over to them, Lin Zuhui also has more than 16% of the shares, and these holdings will not be handed over unless Lin Zuhui is too old to do anything.

As for the wealth of other private companies, it is impossible to hand them over, after all, the sons have already obtained too much. He has the confidence to outlive many of his sons, so private wealth may end up in a trust model.

After a while, Andre and Liang Botao, two of the twelve executives of the Bank of Bahrain, came to Lin Zuhui's office together.

Andre is the president, and Liang Botao is the vice president in charge of Asia.

"How's the investment going in Japan?"

Andre first said: "We carried out the 'buy Nikkei futures' in Singapore and Tokyo at the same time, investing a total of 300 million US dollars and preparing a large amount of margin ....."

Liang Botao then said: "We also arranged for Peregrine to invest in Sony, Panasonic and other stocks in Japan, with a total investment of 2 billion US dollars and the use of leveraged ......"

After listening to the work report of the two, Lin Zuhui felt very comfortable.

At the end of this month, Amber took office as the prime minister of Japan, and it is expected that monetary easing will be implemented immediately, and the yen will depreciate sharply, which is naturally an opportunity for Lin Zuhui to make money.

Because he knows that in the first half of 2013, with the coming to power of Amber, the yen depreciated (currently around 83 index); At the same time as the yen depreciated, Japan's product exports (increased competitiveness) led to a sharp rise in the Nikkei index, as well as stocks such as Sony and Panasonic.

Some memories of his previous life, coupled with the analysis of this life, made Lin Zuhui decide to make a small profit, and arranged a three-pronged approach in November:

Buy Nikkei futures, buy Japanese stocks, buy USDJPY forex.

It is expected that this wave can earn billions of dollars.
