88th Floor, Two IFC.

Lin Zuhui is sitting in a spacious office, using an Apple laptop to check information on the Internet, and on his desk, there is an Apple 5s.

He is a significant shareholder of Apple Inc., which currently holds a 2.5% stake worth about $12 billion. At the same time, his five women's companies hold a total of about 4% of Apple's shares; Also, his 'family office' bought about 1% of Apple stock in previous years.

Therefore, he is also a fruit fan.

As for his 'son' Xiaomi mobile phone, Lin Zuhui is also using it, but as a work mobile phone, it is generally placed in the hands of assistants.

Releasing the mouse, Lin Zuhui leaned back in his chair and pondered.

If nothing else, mainland enterprises will start this year to go overseas and buy overseas enterprises on a large scale.

Such a swarm of going overseas will inevitably raise the price of European and American assets, and it will be difficult to find cheap assets at that time.

Especially in 2015~2017, overseas assets have really risen in the past three years;

And in 2018, trade accounted for a dozen, and the environment was even worse.

It can be said that if you want to acquire large projects in Europe and the United States, this year is undoubtedly the best year.

Meanwhile.

New Era Group's cash flow is still about 350 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is still very sufficient.

Lin Zuhui's idea is to take advantage of the past two years to make more acquisitions;

After 2015, they began to tighten their finances.

In 2016~2020, New Era Group can still 'save' a lot of cash flow;

The saving of these funds is the confidence of the New Era Group in the future.

Soon, Lin Zuhui had a plan!

.......

April.

Lim Cho Fai travelled to the United States by private jet.

He ordered an Airbus 380 large widebody aircraft in 2012 and intends to convert it into a second large private jet, which is expected to be delivered in 2015.

Spending money, he is serious, after all, Bill Gates owns no less private jets and superyachts than Lin Zuhui.

In the large restaurant of the plane, Lin Zuhui sat in the main seat, and on the left and right were two exotic beauties - Gu Li and Gu Lijia.

"Mr. Lin, as a personal flight attendant on your plane, the salary must be very high, right?" Gu Lijia looked at Lin Zuhui's personal flight attendant and asked curiously.

Lin Zuhui enjoyed the food slowly and methodically, and replied unhurriedly: "What? Your sister is so rich now, so she didn't support your sister, do you still want to be a personal flight attendant for me? ”

Gu Li and Lin Zuhui have been around for almost three years, and they have given almost five or six billion RMB, almost all of which were used to speculate in 2012, and now they have obviously appreciated a lot.

Before her sister could defend herself, Guliga preemptively said, "Of course she took care of my sister and bought me a house...... But work is work, life is life, and I used to be a flight attendant. ”

Of course, Lin Zuhui will not hire her as a flight attendant, after all, there are many personal things on the plane, and she can't let them know. The flight attendants on his private jet include Ukrainian, Japanese, and Singaporean beauties, but there are no Xiangjiang and mainland women, and these flight attendants are specially trained.

Gu Lijia is Gu Li's sister, five years older than her, and she is also very beautiful, Lin Zuhui already has an idea in his heart.

As for Gu Li's side, Lin Zuhui believes that it is not a problem, Lin Zuhui is not only rich, but also has charm and strength, and conquering women is both physical and mental, and women will almost fall into a deep and unable to extricate themselves. Take Gu Li as an example, following Lin Zuhui, she met many sisters.

"The private flight attendant is full, but you can follow your sister first, and I will arrange for her to speculate in stocks and invest later, and you can be an assistant or something."

Gu Li immediately said, "Yes, sister, why don't you come to my side and accompany me!" "There is no doubt about him, Guli is still very naïve.

And Gulga has recently seen the real life and circle of rich people, and she has already longed for it, and immediately said: "Okay! ”

Lin Zuhui put his hand on Gu Li's Qianqianyu hand and said affectionately: "Gu Li, I'll give you 1 billion RMB later for stock speculation." ”

It is not convenient for him to speculate on mainland stocks, so he always needs an agent.

"Ahh The two women exclaimed at the same time.

Gu Li reacted and hurriedly said, "Brother Hui, is it too much?" And I'm very good at stock trading, and I've lost hundreds of thousands! ”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "What's more, I'm too busy with work, and I have very little time with you." So I plan to train you to speculate in real estate and stocks, and make investments, which can be regarded as a relief from boredom. After the funds are given to you, I will personally guide you, follow my instructions, and ensure that you will be promoted to a billionaire within five years. ”

Gu Li immediately showed a hint of worship!

"Brother Hui, I listen to you!"

Gu Lijia's heart was galloping at this time, the words '1 billion' and '10 billion' were too shocking, and as a flight attendant, she also saw many rich people. But the rich people I see today are called really rich people.

At the beginning, when her sister told her the truth, Gulga hated iron but not steel, her sister was so beautiful, how could she be a lover of a rich man!

When her sister told her that the object was Lin Zuhui and said that she was very rich, Gulga soon began to please her sister. The Internet is so developed, search to know what kind of person Lin Zuhui is, he is the richest man in the world, and the important thing is that the photo is very handsome.

Recently, she came to Xiangjiang with her sister for a vacation, and she learned that the world of rich people is really envious and jealous, and she squeezed her head into it.

"Here, cheers!"

The two sisters of Guli both drank alcohol, and Lin Zuhui knew in his previous life that Guli was an exotic female star who drank fragments.

For dinner, Lin Zuhui took the two daughters to the entertainment room.

"Guli, Guliga, can you perform a dance?" Lin Zuhui hopes to see the achievements of his ancestors recovering the West.

"Of course, Brother Hui, our sisters are very good at dancing! However, you also have to participate, we teach you! Gu Li took Lin Zuhui's arm and said coquettishly.

This woman really loves to be coquettish, but Lin Zuhui likes it very much, because in this way, he feels that he is only in his early twenties.

As the music of the clan sounded, the three of them were immersed in it, and to the surprise of the two girls, Lin Zuhui's talent was very good.

"Brother Hui, you are amazing!"

"Haha, don't you know that the Hong Kong culture of Xiangjiang is very powerful, not only people in the entertainment industry can dance, but many people in Xiangjiang have the ability to do this, of course, I don't know how to dance modern dance, but I am indeed a master of ballroom dancing."

Hong Kong culture has changed the Hong Kong entertainment industry, traditional artists have long been eliminated, and now it is the world of Hong Kong idols, even Tony Leung, Lau Dehua, Jacky Cheung These king-level artists have already become second-tier artists.

Jacky Cheung held a concert and invited a first-line idol group, but he didn't necessarily come all, and the Internet was full of 'face-giving' remarks.

So now in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, actors can dance, these are very common.

When jumping against Guliga, the eyes of the two met, and soon a trace of sparks appeared.

Although Gu Li next to him noticed that something was wrong, he did not stop it.

Of course, Lin Zuhui did not rush to attack, but at the end, he picked up Gu Li by the waist and walked to the bedroom, leaving Gu Lijia itching.

......

.......

......

Manhattan, New York.

Headquarters of Futura Group.

Lin Zuhui and Lin Wenjie came to the conference room, and the father and son did not take a plane to the United States.

And Lin Zuhui brought Lin Wenjie here, naturally hoping to take him to get acquainted with the senior executives of Fuli Group.

Before the Lehman Brothers crisis, Futura Group's net worth was as high as about $70 billion (including nearly $20 billion in cash flow), including Amazon Mall, Canary Wharf Group, Futura Real Estate and many other European and American real estate and related assets.

After the Lehman Brothers crisis, Futura Group began to buy the bottom, and now the assets of Fuli Group have exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and it is a full commercial real estate hegemon.

However, Futura Group is not listed separately, so there is no need to announce financial reports or the like, but Europeans and Americans can clearly feel its existence.

Fuli Group can develop so smoothly, in addition to Lin Zuhui's general view, this group of foreign executives has made great contributions.

And this group of foreigners is also very loyal to Lin Zuhui and does their best for the group, Lin Zuhui guesses that this is due to his personal charm.

Now, although Lin Wenjie is going to be replaced on stage, Lin Zuhui is still there after all, so there is no need to worry.

What's more, after the formation of a large-scale enterprise, a set of corporate culture and systems have already been formed, which is enough to restrict employees and management.

"Boss, Director Lin" the senior management of Fuli Group greeted one after another.

In their hearts, Lin Zuhui is a legend, Lehman sold assets before Lehman, and Lehman bought the bottom later, which can be said to be an extremely keen investor; At the same time, this boss is very good at business management and surprisingly successful, which makes everyone very admired.

"Doerr, Steven..... It's a pleasure to meet you! Lin Zuhui greeted everyone with a smile.

After a greeting, everyone sat down.

"I've seen the information of the indcor company. I think it's a good fit for acquisition, what do you think? ”

Founded in 2010 as part of the Blackstone Group, Indcor owns and operates 117 million square feet of industrial real estate, including a network of industrial warehouses and wholesale centers, in key U.S. territories following multiple acquisitions.

As the president, Dürr took the lead in saying: "This industrial real estate fund INDCOR has only been in operation for four years, and its volume is already the largest industrial real estate fund in the United States, which can be compared with the old American industrial real estate developer Duke Realty, which has a history of more than 40 years. Importantly, I reached out to the people at Blackstone who were originally interested in IPO and cashing out. If we are interested in buying, Blackstone will not refuse, the key is the price. ”

Will, an executive in charge of the 'Outlets' business, also said: "We have some business dealings with this fund, and as far as I know, the Blackstone fund will probably cost less than $6 billion on INDCOR. ”

Steven, vice president and president of Amazon Mall, also said: "European and American real estate has been a little sluggish since the Lehman crisis, but since the second half of last year, many people have seen strong hopes. Moreover, after we start, we can continue to use INDCOR to acquire industrial real estate projects. ”

The senior executives expressed their thoughts and opinions, which made Lin Wenjie feel a little, he saw the respect for his father in the eyes of these executives, and the discussion was very lively and vibrant; They are not only the kind of attitude towards the boss, but also a kind of respect for the strong.

Alexander!

After listening to everyone's opinions, Lin Zuhui said decisively: "This is what we Chinese call 'the right time, place and people', there are market prospects, Blackstone intends to sell, and our team is enough to manage INDCOR." Okay, this acquisition is decided, President Dürr, you form a team and make formal contact with Blackstone. ”

Durr nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take action right away!" ”

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "Then this acquisition, Director Lin, you also participated, and kept in touch with everyone." ”

"Okay, Chairman!"

"Welcome Director Lin to join!"

Leaving Lin Wenjie in Futura Group, Lin Zuhui left, he also hoped that Lin Wenjie and these executives would be familiar with each other, after all, Fuli Group is an important asset component of the New Era Group, although the management is allowed to manage itself, but it is based on the situation that Lin Zuhui can subdue them.

If Lin Wenjie becomes president, he must have a good relationship with these.

It's not that it's hard to find elites like Durr and Steven, but it's that elites who are loyal to the Lin Zuhui family and the New Era Group are difficult to cultivate for a while.

The contact with Blackstone naturally does not require Lin Zuhui to participate in it, after all, such an acquisition may take several months, and it will not be possible to achieve it in a while.

The most important thing for this kind of acquisition is the price, but for property assets, Lin Zuhui has always been cautious in bidding, the important thing is to buy Indcor, there will be no competitors, just look at what price Blackstone is willing to sell.

As for the prospect of INDCOR, or the prospect of industrial real estate, Lin Zuhui is very confident, with the rise of Internet shopping sites such as Amazon, the requirements for warehouse grids and wholesale centers are very high.

Importantly, after INDCOR was bought by Singapore's GLP in its previous life, Blackstone spent $19 billion to buy it back, making it the world's largest single industrial real estate transaction, and during this period, GLP only spent another billion dollars on industrial real estate projects. In four years, it doubled.

.......

"Indcor has to buy properties like crazy," says Rene Circ, head of property research at Costar in Chicago, "They only buy big projects."

There isn't a lot of company news on Indcor's website, and most of the topics are "acquisitions". Take 2013 as an example: in January, I bought 650,000 square meters of property in four cities in one go; In February, it bought 890,000 square meters of properties in 6 cities; April, 130,000 square meters; In June, 100,000 square meters......

Underpinning Indcor's frantic expansion is Blackstone's sharp and bold investment vision. In 2010, when Indcor was founded, it was at the trough of industrial real estate, and the value of industrial real estate purchased by many companies at the peak of 2007 had shrunk significantly, which gave Indcor the opportunity to buy the bottom.

For example, INDCOR's 1.9 million square meter warehouse in California, which was hailed by Bloomberg as its "crown jewel", was bought at a low price from Waltoal LLC; In 2007, Waltoal LLC bought the warehouses for $2.9 billion, and in 2012, it sold them to Indcor for $2.2 billion.

While INDCOR is growing step by step, the good days of industrial real estate in the United States are gradually coming. As consumption grows, U.S. businesses, especially e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, have seen a growing demand for properties such as warehousing, which has outpaced supply, with rising rents and decreasing vacancy rates.

From 2013 to the first quarter of 2014, the U.S. industrial real estate vacancy rate fell from 8.83 percent to 7.9 percent, according to statistics from Colliers Iional, a real estate services company, which also means that the occupancy rate rose by 23 percent each quarter.

Blackstone is eager to sell Indcor or raise capital for its recently launched new flagship $13 billion global real estate fund, which will allow Blackstone to realize profits faster than its IPO (previously reported that Blackstone is making a comeback in China with a $13 billion super real estate fund).

Blackstone Group.

When he heard that Futura Group was interested in acquiring Indcor, Blackstone's president, Stephen, smiled.

While there is still no evidence that the momentum of industrial real estate will wane, this is Blackstone, which will release assets as soon as it makes a profit.

What's more, this is an acquisition from the Oriental Consortium, which is more conducive to selling at a high price.
