Chapter 034 [Buying a House]
In the conference room of LEIT Group, Lin Zuhui listened to the reports of the heads of various brands, with a faint smile on his face.
The group's annual profit will exceed 250 million, and the performance growth rate is gratifying.
This company is positioned by Lin Zuhui as the LVMH group in Asia, and it does not really want to develop towards the luxury industry, but is just a comprehensive mid-to-high-end brand group, and its main development is in Asia.
At present, the "Asian brand" is of course the "crocodile shirt", whether it is in Southeast Asia, RB, or Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, South Korea, and the mainland, the business is very good. With strong capital investment and promotion, the annual profit of 'crocodile shirt' from 100 million when he took over has reached about 160 million this year, an increase of 6%.
Hong Kong's 'crocodile shirt' and France's 'crocodile shirt' are in a lawsuit, but Lin Zuhui didn't pay attention to it at all, can a European brand do a 'Asian brand' in Asia? As for the crocodile in Star Island, it is actually called the Cadilla crocodile, which is not a cause for concern.
The second in performance is I.T Fashion Retail, which has seen its earnings grow again this year, and it is expected that there will be no problem with 40 million.
The third in performance is the 'manufacturing department', with an annual profit of about 30 million, and because it is operated independently, it is also accounted for separately.
The fourth place in performance is 'Jeanswest Casual Fashion' and 'Lukfook Jewelry', which is expected to make an annual profit of 20 million.
At the bottom is the underwear brand 'Ouchi Secret Agent', which does not make money. Underwear brands are not the focus of LEIT Group, and the biggest goal is only to have a place in Asia, the important thing is to enter the mainland market and enjoy a wave of benefits. As for the idea of going to the UK to hold a catwalk, Lin Zuhui has already passed, which is expensive and laborious, and may not be successful, so it is better to develop in Asia honestly. In the future, when the funds are abundant, it will be more cost-effective to acquire them in Europe and the United States.
Through this meeting, Lin Zuhui also decided to set up a group management network next year, so as to make it easier for himself and grasp the head of the group's management. Originally, the LEIT Group was done by Lin Zuhui, not his core industry, so his focus will not be on this in the future.
After the meeting, Roger separately reported the news about Yongan Company's 'breach of contract'.
Lin Zuhui smiled and said, "Do we need to care? It's just a specialty store! Yongan Department Store is also in the sunset! β
Roger nodded and said, "Okay, boss!" But this matter is still quite infuriating, I have been talking for a week, Yongan Company temporarily changed the hexagram, although there is no contract, but this is too unruly. β
Lin Zuhui thought for a moment and said curiously: "Could someone be doing something about this?" Is there any money Yongan Company still doesn't make money? You go and find out, is Giordano meddling? If so, then how did the news of the negotiation between our company and Yongan Company leak out? β
Roger also reacted that Yongan Company broke the contract for no reason, there must be a reason!
"I'll find out!"
Lin Zuhui nodded, and added: "Don't report this matter to me, just make your own decisions!" β
"Yes, boss!"
......
Back at the office of ACN Center, Lin Zuhui once again took out the information about the 'Yongan Group'.
Yongan Group issued 181.5 million shares, with a share price of HK$7.2 per share and a market capitalization of HK$1.307 billion on the same day.
Together with its subsidiary, Wing On Corporation, the two listed companies own properties such as Wing On Centre (Central), Wing On Building (Central), Wing On Life Building (Central), Wing On Plaza and the shopping mall at Nanyang Centre (East Tsim Sha Tsui Tsui East).
The 600,000 square feet of rent-collecting property in Wing On Center is worth $2.7 billion based on the standard property price of $4,500 per square foot in the same lot.
The total property market value of the two companies is: 5.6 billion!
Lin Zuhui took out the map again, found the location of Yongan Building and Yongan Life Building, and immediately found a very big opportunity:
These two towers are adjacent to New World IMC and in the middle of the two towers is the Liu Chong Hing Building (Des Voeux Road), all four of which are small buildings that can be redeveloped together to obtain a 40,000 square foot commercial first-class site. According to the plot ratio of 15 times, a first-class building of 600,000 square feet can be built.
Good guys, coupled with the 600,000 square feet of floor space in Wing On Center, suddenly has a first-class commercial building of 1.2 million square feet in Central.
It also means that it is second only to Hongkong Land and has become the second shareholder of Central.
For a while, Lin Zuhui's eyes were about to light up!
Central is the most expensive place in Heungjiang, and as a real estate developer, who doesn't want to own a huge rental property in Central. However, at present, apart from Hongkong Land, there are no real estate developers with a large rental property (more than 2 million square feet) in Central.
Lin Zuhui quickly calmed down and began to think about countermeasures!
There are two dilemmas before him:
First, the Kwok family's stake is more than 45% of Yongan Group, which is difficult to acquire. But it's also worth noting: about 2% of the shares are in the hands of members of the Kwok family, who are 'not on the board' of Yongji, and the family is not united.
Second, Lin Zuhui doesn't want to make a hostile takeover now, although he can find a reason to say that Yongan has defaulted for no reason, but this reason is not enough to control public opinion now.
Both difficulties were great, and Lin Zuhui fell into deep thought for a while.
The strength of the Guo family is not strong, and the important wealth is distributed among dozens of third-generation members, if the acquisition war breaks out, as long as they sweep the stock in the secondary market and pull up the price, the Guo family will not have the strength to compete.
Secondly, the two points in the hands of Guo's peripheral members are crucial, and often those two points can determine the outcome of the victory.
Finally, in the previous life, as the second shareholder of Wing On Group, Sing Tao OCBC Bank (25% shareholding) intended to put on the market, and Sun Hung Kai's Feng Yongxiang immediately informed his friend Cheng Kar-chun, and Cheng Kar-shun immediately decided to acquire Wing On Group.
All kinds of information came to Lin Zuhui's mind, and finally he decided to 'catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind', and after Cheng Kar-chun launched a hostile takeover, he immediately became a third party, sweeping the shares of Yongan Group in the market, and sweeping the shares in the market before Guo's reaction.
His idea is very simple, Zheng Kar-chun is in the light, and he is in the dark. New World issued a formal takeover, buying shares in the primary market (hostile takeover); In the secondary market, Chinese Real Estate swept the shares.
The best result: the two joined forces to annex Yongan Group, carve up the property, and sell the garbage industries such as department stores, securities, bank investment, and insurance to the Guo family in one go, so that they could inherit the ancestral business.
Medium results: As of the date of the full acquisition, neither side has reached 51%, and everyone sits down to talk; Since Wing On Group did not have the confidence and strength to rebuild a large-scale Grade A office building in Central, we negotiated that a consortium of Chinese Estates and New World would purchase Wing On Building and Wing On Life Building, and prepare for redevelopment. (PS: There are still many small buildings in Central in this era, and the redevelopment of parallel buildings is a feature that began in the 90s.) οΌ
The worst result: of course, the Guo family obtained 51% of the equity, which is where the Chinese Real Estate and New World will weld hundreds of millions of funds for a year or two.
But in any case, Yongan Group's current market value is 1.3 billion, even if it rises to 3 billion, it is worth acquiring. (In fact, it's hard to get to 3 billion)
Lin Zuhui got up and paced in the office!
He can't join a third-party acquisition for no reason, otherwise it will be easy to offend Cheng Kar-chun.
Unlessβand he has the magic weapon to winβthat's the shares in the hands of the peripheral members of the Guo family, then he will be 'famous'." After all, he can say that he has been preparing for a long time, and he said this to Zheng Jiachun in private, you are the third party. Of course, Zheng Jiachun is bound to lose, and with Lin Zuhui joining, he should be grateful to Dade.
And if he wants to acquire the shares of the Guo family's periphery, he and his company cannot come forward directly, otherwise it will attract the attention of others.
Gotta find someone you trust, and you've got to be good at tricks and tricks!
.......
When Fang came to the Chinese Center, he couldn't help but sigh that the big guy five years ago was just a young man who was less than 20 years old, had no job, and had no backers; Today's bigwigs have become famous in Hong Kong, famous overseas, and worth tens of billions.
He himself is not bad, with a net worth of nearly 200 million and his own career. Of course, these all depend on the support of the big guys, otherwise he is still one of the many people on the street, how can he be rich and noble!
When he came to Lin Zuhui's office, Fang Jin shouted closely: "Big guy! β
Lin Zuhui got up, came to Fang Jin's side, and patted him on the shoulder to show his closeness.
He occasionally called Fang Jin to the 'Zheng Lin Circle' to play, and he also brought this little brother with him, if Chongqing Mansion still can't change the fate of the fire in the future, Lin Zuhui mentions it, and this little brother can take it.
After sitting down, Lin Zuhui said: "I called you this time to give you a difficult task!" β
Fang Jin immediately said: "The big guy said that is, I promise to use twelve points of strength to complete it for you!" β
Lin Zuhui nodded, this attitude did not float, of course, he was not qualified to float in front of him!
He informed Fang Jin of the Guo family of Yongan Group, and finally said: "Your task is to find the most suitable third generation of the Guo family and tempt him with profits." Let him buy the Yongji shares of the peripheral members of the Guo family, and then sell them to you at a high price! β
Fang Jin thought for a moment and said, "It's not very difficult! After all, Yongji's stock is a mess, and those peripheral holdings are simply chicken ribs. If I buy off another peripheral member of the Kwok family and do things for me, the rest of the Kwok members who own shares will not suspect it. β
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I think it's the same!" You can offer a price higher than the market price of 30%~50% to the bought Kwok members. In this way, he will not have to work hard for you! But there is one thing, you can't let him buy and sell in the market, you can participate in the stock trading of both parties as his assistant. And let me tell you, there is only 2% of the shares in Kwok's periphery. β
The net value of Yongan Group's stock is more than 20 yuan, which is much larger than the current stock price of 7.2 yuan, and it is also very cost-effective to buy twice.
"Don't worry, I guarantee that he can't deviate from me!"
Lin Zuhui nodded, the transfer of stocks in the primary market has legal documents, and he doesn't worry too much!
After Fang Jin left, Lin Zuhui no longer took the matter to heart.
If Fang Jin succeeds, everything is possible!
If Fang Jin fails (the grass startles the snake or the purchase fails), Lin Zuhui will also break that idea.
If this matter is successful, Lin Zuhui will not treat Fang Jin badly, and remind him to clear the warehouse in April next year, which can be regarded as a huge remuneration for him.
Thinking of the huge rent-collecting property of Chinese Real Estate, Lin Zuhui couldn't help but be a little fascinated.
After the plunge, he will continue to copy the bottom, and will start to merge buildings seriously, many of its small buildings are surrounded by small buildings, as long as the merger is successful, it will get several times the income.
.......
Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Fang Jin dug up a lot of information about dozens of people in the third generation of the Guo family, and also met a third generation of the Guo family through a friend, called Guo Zhiren.
This Guo Zhiren is also in business, but he is not successful, but it is common to lose money, and his finances are naturally not abundant.
The important thing is that Fang Jin inquired that Guo Zhiren and Guo Zhiliang, the current head of Yongan Group, are not from the same vein, but have a great contradiction with Guo Zhiliang.
Back then, Guo Zhiliang was in power, and Guo Zhiren was kicked out of the board of directors, not to mention, and he was also held accountable for embezzling ink companies, and he almost went to court for a time.
Because of this, Guo Zhiren has a very big opinion on the Guo family, which is now in power.
After Fang Jin determined his goal, he met Guo Zhiren through a friend, and everyone had two meals together.
On this day, Fang Jin invited him again, and Guo Zhiren happily went.
For this generous and heroic new friend, Guo Zhiren is very willing to contact.
The two went to a high-end entertainment venue this time, and Fang Jin arrogantly asked Guo Zhiren to order two young ladies.
After three rounds of drinking, Fang Jin said: "Brother Ren, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Guo Zhiliang, chairman of the board of directors of Yongan Group?" β
Guo Zhiren's face suddenly became a little unsightly, and then said fiercely: "The relationship is not good, if my brother wants to ask me to cooperate with him, it may be a waste of several treats for you!" β
At this time, Guo Zhiren thought that Fang Jin was so close to him, and he originally wanted to cooperate with Yongji.
Fang Jin said with a smile: "Brother Ren misunderstood! In fact, I want to buy the shares of Yongan Group in your hands, and I plan to make a long-term investment! β
Guo Zhiren was stunned for a moment, a little inexplicable, and then said: "Yongji was messed up by Guo Zhiliang and them, the stock is simply the same as the price of cabbage, you want to invest for a long time, why don't you buy individual shares in the market!" β
Fang Jin said with a smile: "The main thing is that I want to invest 5%, and buying from the market may raise the stock price!" β
Guo Zhiren was stunned, but said regretfully: "I only have 500,000 shares, it's useless for you to buy it, it's better to buy it in the market!" β
Fang Jin nodded and said: "You can buy it in the market, even if it is a premium of three or five percent, if you make a long-term investment, it is very worthwhile!" β
Guo Zhiren's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Do you want a premium of fifty percent?" β
Fang Jin said with a smile: "Yes, it's a long-term investment anyway, the property value of Yongji is so good, I don't believe it will be doubled in the future!" β
Guo Zhiren pouted in his heart, the property value is good, but other industries are so loss-making, this group only makes a profit of 130 million yuan a year, but the rent collection of Guangyongan Center is almost 200 million yuan, which shows how much other industries have lost.
If you don't do better, it is the eternal set of description.
"Since you treat me as a friend, my 500,000 shares will be sold to you for 10.5 yuan, how about it?"
Guo Zhiren was a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't treat Fang Jin as a friend, and he finally caught a Kaizi, so he naturally had to kill a little more.
Fang Jin hesitated, Guo Zhiren's heart suddenly bulged, blaming himself for being too dark, even if he was twenty percent, he would sell it!
"It's not impossible, but I hope that you will come forward and buy the shares in the hands of those Guo members who are not members of the board of directors of Yongji! I won't let you help in vain, you eat theirs at twenty percent, and I'll eat what you have at forty percent. β
Guo Zhiren immediately calculated that the peripheral members of the Guo family held almost 2.8% of Yongji shares, and they could receive soft commissions alone.
"No problem, I agreed to this deal!" Guo Zhiren has no doubt about him, because Fang Jin is a small builder, just doing some renovation projects, and there is no threat.
Besides, didn't others say that buying 5 points in the market will definitely pull up the shares, and it may be higher.
Fang Jin was relieved, and taking Guo Zhiren was equivalent to half the success of the plan.
However, he said cautiously: "My side is still buying fractional shares in the market, so I am also worried that those members of your family will buy fractional shares in the market, so I hope I can participate in every transaction with you." β
"It's as it should be, after all, I can't advance that much money!"
Fang Jin said haha: "Money is trivial!" Come on, let's have a good time today! β
The next day, after Zhang Xiangdong got up, he only felt a sense of comfort all over his body, and his spirit was also vibrant.
Young is good!
The body is also very good!
Remembering that the things that Li Chengbin gave himself yesterday had not been opened, he took it out of Yanzi's bag and tore open the newspaper outside.
"One, two, three..... Eighteen stacks, pay attention to people! β
"In order to get an auspicious number, I am missing 20,000!"
Yanzi lay on the edge of the bed, revealing her sexy bare back, and said with a smile: "Brother, you have 20 million Hong Kong dollars!" β
Seeing that Yanzi meant to make fun of himself, he didn't care, and responded: "This is all what I have exchanged for knowledge, and every article is precious." β
The swallow was sent by a fart, and Zhang Xiangdong gladly accepted it.
This time, the swallow brought back 1 million RMB to Shenzhen, plus Li Chengbin's red envelope of 180,000, plus 80,000 yuan in Zhang Xiangdong's hand, a total of 1.26 million yuan; Yesterday, the two spent nearly 60,000 yuan on a large purchase, and there are 1.2 million left.
took out 200,000 yuan to buy a house in Shenzhen, as well as the usual use; At this time, the housing prices of some new communities in Shenzhen have reached 1,600 yuan per square foot, and a house is almost 150,000 yuan.
Buying a house is to live with the swallow conveniently, and you can't live in a hotel every day!
The remaining 1 million yuan will be used for the company's initial capital, which is mainly used to rent a one-story industrial building, recruit staff and technicians, and research and development funds.
"Yanzi, my subsidiary will not let Fengyan Company take shares in the early stage, and when it needs to be produced and sold, Fengyan Company will take the funds to invest in shares!"
The swallow said, "I don't understand, I listen to you!" β
When Zhang Xiangdong heard this, he suddenly had difficulty lifting the cover, and he 'snapped' three times on the swallow's plump buttocks, and the feeling was quite good!
"If you don't understand, you have to learn to share my worries!"
The swallow did not retreat, but advanced, and wrapped his hands around Zhang Xiangdong's arm.
"Brother Dong!"
After a while, he was tired, and finally didn't go off the rails.
Zhang Xiangdong said seriously: "Yanzi, after returning to Hong Kong, you recruit a staff who understands finance, especially those who understand foreign exchange trading." Remember, don't let Li Min meddle in the recruitment of people, lest you rely too much on her, and avoid the company being all her people. Complete the recruitment in April, and then you ask the staff to teach you how to speculate in foreign exchange, you can take tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to fight, and I will arrange Feng Yan's next big move at any time. β
"Brother Dong, what is foreign exchange?" Swallow asked stupidly. But she was not ashamed at all, because she thought that she was a stupid girl in the eyes of Brother Dong.
Zhang Xiangdong explained helplessly: "Foreign exchange trading is the trend of different currency exchange rates, for example, today 1 dollar can be exchanged for 140 yen, and a few months later it may be 1 dollar can only be exchanged for 138 yen, and we want to earn the difference...... Remember, you can take tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to fight; But you can't be serious, everything has to be done according to my will! β
The swallow nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "Well, without Brother Dong's will, I don't dare!" β
For Zhang Xiangdong, the 1 million in his hand is actually enough to open a company, and even if he establishes a production line and marketing in the future, it can actually be completed through the Shenzhen stock market and the magic capital's 'stock warrant'.
Therefore, all the funds in Yanzi's hands were invested, and he could afford the risk. Of course, he has a memory of financial history, and theoretically there is no risk.
.....
When Li Min saw the swallow behind him, he couldn't help but take a few more looks, his boss was much more beautiful; As a person who has come before, I quickly understood that this is a change from a girl to a woman.
Looking at her behind-the-scenes boss, Li Min couldn't help but sigh in her heart, before she met Zhang Xiangdong, she looked down on a mainlander in her heart, and felt that even if she had some ability, she was just relying on her family to be in a high position.
However, when she saw Zhang Xiangdong, she completely subverted her prior cognition, she was very confident, very temperamental, and her conversation was also good, and she was born in an elite family at first glance. After such a cognitive subversion, coupled with the successful cases of the previous company, Li Min had no other ideas.
"Today, let's look at the house first, there is a dinner at noon, it is a boss in Hong Kong, Miss Li also participated, Feng Yan and he may have business contacts in the future!"
Li Min hurriedly said: "En! But I'm not familiar with Shenzhen here, where are we going to see the house? β
Zhang Xiangdong said confidently: "Coincidentally, we are not familiar with it!" After a pause, he said, "But if there is anything unclear, you will definitely find the answer when you get into the taxi!" β
Li Min didn't expect Zhang Xiangdong to make a joke, and said with a slightly red face: "Zhang Sheng, you're so smart!" β
......
The idea that houses are commodities originated in Shenzhen in 1988 and spread to the whole country. In that year, the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Housing System Reform Plan" was promulgated, and the housing reform plan of "renting to promote sales, focusing on selling, and encouraging employees to buy houses" was launched, which was the first local housing reform document in China.
Without this document, it is really impossible for a private person to buy a house by passing!
In the morning, the group ran to several newly built communities in recent years, where to leave the phone; For example, Dongxiao Garden and Haifu Garden in Luohu District. If there is a listing, someone will call them, and the person who referred them will receive a referral fee.
What is surprising is that there is no public sharing in this era, and the 86-square-meter house actually has three bedrooms and one living room.
......
At noon, the three of them came to a restaurant in Luohu District and had dinner with Li Chengbin.
After some introductions, everyone sat down.
After ordering a good dish, Li Chengbin couldn't wait to ask: "Zhang Sheng, how do you think the Hong Kong city will develop in the future?" β
Li Chengbin has a set of business skills, has several brand stores in Xiangjiang, and has also done business in the mainland; But in stock speculation and real estate speculation, he has suffered a lot of losses.
Hong Kong's '87 stock market crash' (1987) and 'June 4 stock market crash' (1989) caused him a lot of losses; as for property speculation, he did not gain much and did not grasp the timing well.
But this time, he finally raised his eyebrows and made six million!
Zhang Xiangdong said with a smile: "Don't worry, Hong Kong houses will only go up and not down, but if you have a better investment, you will naturally have to withdraw funds." After all, speculation in Hong Kong is now greater than demand, so the government will definitely crack down on this phenomenon, and it is unlikely that it will rise sharply in the short term, but it is also impossible to fall. β
It is obvious that the house will definitely rise, but the increase will definitely not be as good as everyone expected!
Li Chengbin also took a reassuring pill and said, "Thank you Zhang Sheng for your advice, let's have a cup!" β
Putting down the wine glass, Zhang Xiangdong suddenly remembered something and asked, "Does Brother Li's family property have this number?" He held out a finger.
Li Chengbin smiled bitterly: "Zhang Shenggao looks at me, ten times more!" β
Zhang Xiangdong suddenly lost interest, a businessman of this level was no longer worthy of cooperating with him.
Li Chengbin seemed to see something, and hurriedly said: "There are a few brothers in the family, if Zhang Sheng really has a good business, you can introduce it." The remuneration will definitely satisfy you! β
It turned out that he was still a rich second generation!
However, Zhang Xiangdong really does not have a good project to cooperate with him, and he is not very satisfied with the remuneration, compared with what He Chaoqiong gave.
"There are really no good projects, stock speculation and real estate speculation are currently quite stable, Brother Li should not be greedy!"
Then, there was a formal introduction to Li Chengbin Fengyan Company and Li Min.
To be precise, it is Fengyan Investment Company, which does what makes money!
Li Chengbin sighed: "Miss Wang is really the right person, I believe that with Zhang Sheng's vision, Fengyan Investment will be generous and glorious in Hong Kong in the future!" Miss Li is also an elite in the workplace and has outstanding abilities. β
At this time, he really didn't dare to underestimate Zhang Xiangdong! can pull funds in a short period of time and gain a firm foothold in Hong Kong, it must be the second generation of Beijing. But compared with the second generation of the Rong family coming to Hong Kong, it is really a small thing, it is a figure that several major families, especially Li Chaoren, are helping.
Wang Yan responded: "Boss Xie Li has said that he will have the opportunity to work together in the future!" β
"Definitely, as long as Mr. Zhang and Miss Wang speak, I will definitely participate!"
The reason why Li Min was asked to participate in today's meal was also to shock her!
Don't think that Yanzi's 'backer' is He Chaoqiong, Hong Kong also has people who know.
She's a small clerk, don't ride on the boss's head.
