"Boss, Mo Sheng is here!"

"Please"

The clerk brought in a person to Lin Zhichao's office, about fifty years old, with a pair of glasses, and a relatively small old man.

Lin Zhichao got up, came to Mo Yingji's side, stretched out his right hand and said enthusiastically: "Mo Sheng, I have admired the name for a long time!" ”

"Lin Sheng, I have admired your name for a long time, I am really honored to meet you!"

Mo Yingji is worthy of being a stockbroker, with a very humble and enthusiastic attitude, and at a glance he knows that he is an 'old fritter' in the social circle, and he is good at dealing with various interpersonal relationships and entertainment.

At this point, Hu Zhaoxu can only be regarded as a junior, and Mo Yingji is not enough to have the momentum to be free to retract.

Lin Zhichao invited Mo Yingji to sit down on the sofa, and when the clerk arranged tea, he asked the clerk to let Zhou Fuzhao come to the office.

"Mo Sheng has been in the stock market for more than 20 years, and he is the royal broker of HSBC, so you must have guessed the purpose of my invitation to come, right?"

Mo Yingji was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said: "If Lin Sheng has any orders, it will be my honor!" I don't dare to talk nonsense about anything else, but in the stock market, I should be able to work for Lin. ”

Lin Zhichao said with a 'haha' smile: "Mo Sheng, refreshing person!" ”

After a while, Zhou Fuzhao also came to the office and sat on the sofa to accompany the guests.

Mok Ying-kee is the third generation of Hong Kong's 'Mok family', and this Mok family has been rich for 100 years.

As early as 1860, Mo Shiyang, the first generation of the Mok family, moved from Canton to Hong Kong, where he engaged in the construction industry and the grocery trade.

Due to his wide range of contacts with many foreign firms, Swire & Co., which wanted to develop in Hong Kong on a large scale, invited Mok to become the chief comprador of Swire through an intermediary in 1870. Mo Shiyang, who does not understand English, does business through interpretation, and he receives a 5% commission from Swire for every transaction. The Chinese who trade will also give him a rebate, which makes him profitable.

In 1879, Mo Shiyang died, and his son Mo Zaoquan succeeded him as the chief comprador of Swire. Due to the trust of Swire, Mo Zaoquan arranged for other Mok brothers to work as compradors in the Swire branches in Guangdong and Shanghai, and relatives, friends, nephews and in-laws of the Mok family also joined Swire one after another, and a total of 1,000 family members and villagers of the Mok family joined Swire.

In 1917, Mo Zaoquan died of illness, and the post of chief comprador was handed over to his eldest son Mo Gansheng. During his tenure, Mok made a fortune of $6 to 7 million by hoarding and roasting Taikoo sugar, and spent $1 million to buy more than 100,000 square feet of land near the top of Connaught Road to build the most luxurious British palace-style villa in Hong Kong at that time, which aroused the suspicion of Brown, the manager of Swire & Co., and sent someone to check his accounts, and finally the Mok family paid a fine of 250,000 Hong Kong dollars to end the matter. Since then, the two sides began to have disagreements, so in 1931, Mo Gansheng resigned from the post of comprador, and in just ten years of his reign, he has accumulated an astonishing wealth of 10 million yuan.

After three generations of development, the Mo family has long been prosperous and has become a huge family, which was once as famous as the Jardine comprador family 'He Dong family'. And its descendants are developing in many aspects, and they are already a 'family'.

In the third generation, Mok Gansheng is a 'gentleman', and his younger brothers Mok Ying-chun and Mok Ying-kei are practising barristers and senior stockbrokers respectively.

In particular, in the early 50s, a barrister named 'Mok Ying-yi', who supported the mainland and helped the workers to 'fight for their interests', was finally 'gifted to the situation' by the British government in Hong Kong, and finally lived in the mainland. In the 20s, as a lawyer, Mo Yingwei rescued the Southern Heavenly King and the officers and soldiers of the country who were detained in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong, and it can be said that he loved the country and Hong Kong all his life.

"Mo Sheng, I came to you this time to hire you to be our stock broker of Changjiang Real Estate!" After chatting for a while, Lin Zhichao officially explained his intentions.

In this day and age, you can only buy stocks through stockbrokers.

Mo Yingji was naturally happy, after all, he got a big customer, and then said: "No problem! Is Lin Sheng investing in the name of the company? ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Yes." Changjiang Real Estate has some idle funds, and I plan to buy some stocks to make some small profits. Hong Kong's economy is in a very good situation, and after we studied it, we wanted to entrust Mo Sheng to buy it for us, and we plan to make a long-term investment. ”

Hearing that it was a long-term investment, Mo Yingji had no regrets, although the number of commissions was small, but he thought that the funds should be millions; The important thing is the connection, and as a Chinese business leader in Hong Kong, Lam Zhichao has contact with him, which is an important relationship for him as a stockbroker.

"Well, no problem! How much does Lin Sheng plan to invest? Which stocks to invest in? ”

At this time, Zhou Fuzhao took out a piece of paper, handed it to Mo Yingji and said, "Mo Sheng, this is a few stocks that we are optimistic about, how about you take a look first?" ”

Mo Yingji took it and looked at it seriously.

"HSBC, Hongkong Electric, CLP Power, Kowloon Warehouse, Hongkong Tramway, Watsons, Hongkong Hotel, Hongkong Land. They are all very well-developed stocks in the UK. Lin Sheng is optimistic about Hong Kong's economy in the next few years, so these stocks will rise! Mo Yingji said seriously.

In his opinion, Lin Zhichao, as a business tycoon and a legendary businessman, is optimistic about Hong Kong's economy in the next few years, so correspondingly, these British-funded high-quality stocks will definitely be welcomed by the market, and there is nothing wrong with investing in these.

Then, Mo Yingji asked: "How much does Changjiang Real Estate plan to invest?" ”

Lin Zhichao smiled: "How about 10 million? I have a premise, that is, when buying, you can't influence too much and minimize the impact. It can be divided into one or two months to buy, anyway, I am also a long-term investment, and I don't care about short-term ups and downs. ”

Mo Yingji looked at Lin Zhichao's breezy expression, and couldn't help but stir up huge waves in his heart, just this calmness, he is a stock market master. Immediately, he thought that it might be that Lin Zhichao was worth a lot of money, and a mere 10 million was nothing.

But in any case, Lin Zhichao's high-minded style touched Mo Yingji a lot. Let him also begin to analyze Lin Zhichao's investment method in his heart, and he can take the opportunity to learn it.

"Then we can keep in touch at any time and communicate in a timely manner if there is any situation, is that okay?"

"Yes, I asked Manager Zhou to contact you on a regular basis, and he is responsible for this aspect of the company's work. Of course, if Mo Sheng has a treat that day, you can contact me, haha! ”

Mo Yingji said with a smile: "Then it's decided, Lin Sheng can't shirk when the time comes, haha!" ”

He is naturally willing to have a good relationship with a business tycoon like Lin Zhichao, not to mention inviting guests to dinner, even gifts for the New Year's holidays will be delivered.

If an ordinary person entrusts him to buy and sell stocks, he is invited by others.

After chatting for a while, Mo Yingji got up to say goodbye, Lin Zhichao sent it to the door, and then asked Zhou Fuzhao to send it for him, which was also very courteous.

After returning to his office, Lin Zhichao couldn't help but smile.

Like a securities celebrity like Mo Yingji, in his previous life, even Li Jiacheng relied on others at the beginning.

But Lin Zhichao didn't rely on him, so everyone just cooperated normally. The reason is very simple, Lin Zhichao does not speculate in the short term; Every time it is a bottom-copy, a high-point cash-out, it doesn't matter what happens in the middle.

The important thing is that six or seven years ago, Lin Zhichao would only speculate in stocks.

At the same time, Lin Zhichao thought about the future organization of Cheung Kong Industrial.

His thoughts were:

Established a 'Cheung Kong Holdings Company', which holds 'Cheung Kong Holdings' and 'Cheung Kong Real Estate', 'Uniqlo', 'Doll Noodles' and other companies.

Among them, 'Cheung Kong Asset' will be listed in 1972 and changed to 'Cheung Kong Asset Group', and its assets include: about 20 development properties, and a small part of reserve land, Uniqlo, and doll surface.

Among them, 'Cheung Kong Real Estate' does not need to be listed, and its assets are mainly commercial real estate projects, including: office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, and even most of the reserve land.

In this way, when Cheung Kong Asset Group is listed, its asset value only needs to be the 'boss of Chinese-funded real estate', but it is not very large. After the listing, hundreds of millions of funds can be raised, and the land of Changjiang Real Estate can be purchased at a high price, killing two birds with one stone.

The reason why Lin Zhichao wants to list a 'signature company' is because businessmen who don't know how to use the stock market are fools.

The money of leeks is so easy to make, how can there be a reason not to make money!

Moreover, the Lin family also needs influence, which must have a 'signboard listed company'.

Lin Zhichao and Tong Chung-yuen came to the site at 661 King's Road, North Point.

The site is only three or four blocks away from the North Point Funeral Parlour and the north side is a reclaimed lot. There are several arcade buildings on the site, with a site area of about 20,000 square feet.

"Father-in-law, where did you buy this piece of land?" Lin Zhichao asked curiously.

He suspected that the land was Lee Kar-shing's North Point Industrial Building, which later became Millennium Plaza, and claimed that it would never be sold by Lee Kar-shing under any circumstances. Because this piece of land is the first industrial building of Li Jiacheng in the previous life, and it is also the beginning of entering the real estate industry, which is of extraordinary significance.

Now, Li Jiacheng naturally does not have the strength to enter the real estate industry at this time, and it would be good for his Changhe Plastic Factory to make a profit of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars last year.

Therefore, if Li Jiacheng enters the real estate industry, Lin Zhichao guesses that it may be six or seven years later, just to buy the bottom. At that time, he should also have about 5 million assets in his hands, buying real estate. In this way, it may even miss the listing in 1972, even if it was listed that year, the fund-raising strength was only 20 million or 30 million, which was simply vulnerable compared to the scale of 200 million raised by the real estate five tigers.

Tang Zhongyuan said happily: "I bought it in the hands of Wang Kuancheng!" ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "I've heard of this, he was the king of North Point back then, and it is said that at that time, there was a lot of land in North Point and dozens of buildings were built. Unexpectedly, now the land is being sold instead of being developed. ”

Wang Kuancheng is the president of the Chinese Entrepreneur Association, who donated planes to the mainland during the Korean Peninsula Campaign, and is a veritable 'red-top businessman'. His two actions in the forties can be said to be a style of the Rothschilds:

The first move: to buy the Hong Kong dollars issued by HSBC during the Japanese occupation, when everyone thought that HSBC would not recognize these Hong Kong dollars after the war, because they were issued under the compulsion of the Japanese army. However, Wang Kuancheng learned from a conversation with an HSBC friend that HSBC attaches the most importance to credit, so the 200 million Hong Kong dollars that were forced to be issued will be recognized. Because of this, Wang Kuancheng, Zhou Xinian and others wantonly bought Hong Kong dollars from ordinary citizens in the market, thus making a lot of money.

The second move: After the war, Wang Kuancheng bought land in North Point, which was as cheap as 7~8 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, and soared to 20 or 30 Hong Kong dollars in just a few years, and he built dozens of high-rise buildings (four or five stories high). Relying on rent collection, he has a lot of money.

Of course, Wang Kuancheng's current identity will definitely be inconvenient in doing business in Hong Kong, and the current real estate industry is the world of Cantonese businessmen, so there is no Wang Kuancheng in this wave of real estate.

Tang Zhongyuan nodded and said: "He has been selling the land in North Point for several years, this time I bought the site with a total area of 23,000 square feet, he asked for 1.8 million, I returned 200,000, and finally sold it for 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

The price is about the same!

Lin Zhichao immediately gave his father-in-law's plan and said: "This land can build a 12-story industrial building, with a floor area of about 15,000 square feet on each floor, and a floor area of about 180,000~200,000 square feet. If you decide to rebuild, then hurry up and get it done to you in 12 months! ”

Tang Zhongyuan immediately said happily: "Okay, I listen to you, you are a real estate expert!" ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and explained: "The construction of industrial buildings can be rented out stably, which is very suitable for your father-in-law's steady investment." After all, you are now focusing on industry, and in recent years you have invested in a few industrial buildings, and you can move forward and retreat freely. In the future, these buildings can become an opportunity for you to enter the real estate; These buildings can bring stable income and can also be converted into commercial buildings in the future. ”

When Tang Zhongyuan heard his son-in-law say this, not to mention how excited he was, diversifying investment, who wouldn't want to!

But it is difficult for a non-Cantonese real estate developer to squeeze in because you are not familiar with the market. Today, he has a good son-in-law, so that he can tentatively invest in some real estate rental projects.

"Well, that makes sense! I think industrial buildings are promising, Hong Kong's industrial development is rapid, especially some small factories are increasing very fast, and they need to rent out factories in strata areas. The market is so strong, so I am very interested in the factory rental market. ”

For a long time, Hong Kong's industrial plants were very popular, at least until 1978.

If Tang Zhongyuan enters real estate in the future, there is no problem in becoming a medium-sized real estate developer.

The site at 661 King's Road, with an estimated investment of HK$2.8 million for the site fee plus construction cost. For Tang Zhongyuan, it is not a big bet.

Back to Cheung Kong Industrial, Lin Zhichao explained to his subordinates about developing an industrial plant for his father-in-law, and Tang Zhongyuan didn't need to worry about it at all.

After a while, Lin Zhichao's second uncle Lin Yunchu also found him.

"Zhichao, I found a 20,000 square foot plot of land for sale in Kwun Tong, and the owner will be priced at 1.25 million Hong Kong dollars, what do you think of building a factory building there?"

Lin Yunchu's face was a little hopeful, in the past three years, he has accumulated a fortune of three million by opening a wig factory and a plastic factory; Although he suddenly became rich, Lin Yunchu did not spend it indiscriminately, and only bought a tenement building as a rental investment during the period.

This is because his nephew suggested that he invest in industrial buildings, and he was convinced of this. Therefore, I have been saving money and not daring to spend it indiscriminately.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Kwun Tong is also very good, where is the industrial area of Kowloon, the unit price of more than 60 Hong Kong dollars per square foot is not expensive, if it is not for the current real estate slump, this price can not be bought." In this way, I will arrange someone to help you go through the procedure, and then build an industrial building for you, which can have more than 100,000 square feet of factory area for rent. ”

Lin Yunchu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with this industrial plant, he could also 'diversify' his investment in the future.

Subsequently, Lin Yunchu and Lin Zhichao chatted in the office.

Unknowingly, Lin Zhichao also attached importance to Lin Yunchu, the second uncle, after all, it was a blood relationship.

"Second uncle, the total investment of this factory is less than 2.5 million, and it will bring you stable rental income every year in the future, just like a family heirloom."

"Well, I know, so I've always attached great importance to it, and I don't dare to spend my money indiscriminately."

Then, Lin Yunchu took the initiative to speak: "Zhichao, like the two emerging industries of plastic flowers and wigs, he has a strong cycle, right?" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "There must be a cycle, but there is no need to worry about it in the short term." When the second uncle said this, could it be that he also considered other investments? ”

Lin Yunchu shook his head and said, "That's not true, but I plan to take advantage of the low price of housing and plan to buy another tenement building." ”

At present, most of Hong Kong are also tenement buildings and arcades, and even thousands of tenement buildings and arcades are rebuilt every year.

After all, a tenement building cannot build a residential building, but it takes several tenement buildings to be merged before there is enough land to build a building.

Because of this, even 50 years later, there are still many six- and seven-storey buildings in Hong Kong, because where the 'plot ratio' is, it is not as high as you want to build.

"You can just look at this! As long as you don't go into debt, you can buy it casually, do you think that's the reason? Lin Zhichao said with a smile.

Lin Yunchu suddenly realized and said, "It makes sense! ”

The nephew meant that as long as you don't go into debt, the house is worth a lot of money.

At the same time, he still has to continue to develop in industry, which is the right way.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yunchu said goodbye.

Lin Zhichao sat in the office and also thought about the second uncle, because he was the second uncle, although he did not have a good relationship with Tang Zhongyuan, Lin Zhichao would always take care of it.

However, the care is limited, and after the construction of the industrial building this time, it is considered to have been benevolent and righteous.

What's more, Lin Yunchu's two factories also have an annual profit of 80~1 million Hong Kong dollars, which is enough for his children and grandchildren to be rich.

His eldest brother did not have a good academic performance, but he was also sent by Lin Yunchu to study abroad to study in college, so as to gild it. In two years, I can also come back to help Lin Yunchu.

Of course, Lin Zhichao and Lin Yunchu's family are not very close.
