In the office of Cheung Kong Industrial, Lin Zhichao looked at the newspaper on the table, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.

What happened in late August was really heartbreaking.

After a long time, he finally couldn't help but start to pick up the pen, wrote a title in his notebook "A Citizen - Lin Zhichao", and then began to write the content calmly and calmly.

Sometimes I stop thinking and sometimes I write hard.

An hour later, he put down the pen in his hand and looked at an article he had written: The melon of Huangtai, how can he pick it again.

The article has some reference parts, which are more of the content written by Lin Zhichao with his knowledge and level over the years.

Even if you can't understand it, you can see 'X violence'.

After some checking, he dialed a call.

After a while, several high-ranking officials came to his office.

Lin Zhichao asked them to sit in the meeting area, and then handed the manuscript to everyone to read.

"I'm going to publish this article, and our building may be at some risk at that time, so you should take the strongest precautions."

Everyone circulated it one after another, and their faces were a little solemn.

After reading it, Huang Changhong said: "Boss, your article is not intense, but after all, it is the Hong Kong government that favors you, and it is easy to set yourself on fire." Besides, you are a businessman, neither a parliamentarian nor a media worker, so why bother wading into troubled waters. ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhichao said: "But I have always been regarded as the leader of the Chinese in Hong Kong, and now that Hong Kong is like this, I don't say a word, won't it be difficult to do it in the future, and it may not really have an impact." Moreover, I am calling on everyone to cherish peace and resist"

Huang Changhong immediately reacted that the boss was still a recognized Chinese leader in Hong Kong, and if the 'knight' canonized by London really stood by all the time, the Hong Kong government would at least no longer give convenience and care to the boss even if it did not target the boss in the future.

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao said: "Manager Hu, you go to "Sing Tao Newspaper" for me, you have to buy all the advertising layouts, and the typesetting is so that they can print more, and if they can't sell it, they will send it, and we can make up the price." ”

He explained to Hu Zhaoxu one by one, how to typeset; The core is to 'cherish peace', so we will engage in a big 'X off violence'.

After Hu Zhaoxu remembered it, he took people to work on this matter.

Lin Zhichao does not think that this will have much impact on the overall situation, but he is more calling on the public to unite to love Hong Kong, love their families, and love themselves, draw a clear line with them, and see clearly that the other party has affected all aspects of Hong Kong.

Of course, he also has the meaning of speculation, anyway, the peak period will pass in a month or two, so why not sell the face of the British government in Hong Kong!

And his words are not very sharp, after all, once his sharp words annoy Zuo Lengchan, the risk factor will increase. After this year, Zuo Lengchan will lose his position in the future, and he will no longer be worried.

Following.

"Sing Tao Daily" caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong, and Lin Zhichao also began to avoid the front at home, talking about things at home by phone or asking his subordinates to come to their homes.

Because Lin Zhichao's influence is too great, the Hong Kong government also contacted him whether he needed to send police officers to protect him, but Lin Zhichao refused on the grounds that he had his own bodyguards.

Xue Junshan, an old bodyguard for many years, got two pistols and personally stood guard for Lin Zhichao. Actually, there was some fuss, but it was still due to the kindness of the subordinates.

Lin Zhichao's remarks are more important to win the hearts and minds of the people in Hong Kong, and you must know that there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people in the Zuo Lengchan faction, and many others are watching the excitement.

As things have developed to this extent, Zuo Lengchan's faction has begun to be unpopular, coupled with Lin Zhichao's remarks, they are even more aggressive, and the citizens have begun to hate them.

Weekend.

On the sea of Iron Island, Lin Zhichao entertained Mo Yingji on the yacht, accompanied by Zhou Fuzhao, the financial manager of Cheung Kong Industrial.

The three of them sipped red wine and enjoyed snacks.

Lin Zhichao said with feelings: "These things have to be struggled for, if you don't want to struggle and want to enjoy, then the result is that everyone can't enjoy it; In this way, they have a balance in their hearts. As everyone knows, those who have the ability to go out still have the ability to enjoy it again. ”

Mo Yingji knew what Lin Zhichao was talking about, and said: "So it's better to work your own, and everyone can enjoy it in the end." No matter what he thinks, being able to feed people is the last word. I read Sir Lam's article this week and I am deeply moved, and I believe that 99% of Hong Kong people will be deeply touched, and the remaining 1% will be hopeless. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "I hope the high-level will order it to end as soon as possible!" That's right, Mo Sheng. The Hang Seng Index has not touched below 60 points. ”

At this time, although the Hang Seng Index has been issued, it is not actually public, or not recognized, but only calculated within a small range.

Mo Yingji nodded and said, "Yes, it touched 58 points this Thursday, it's really miserable!" When he saw Lin Zhichao's appearance, he immediately asked again: "Lin Sheng plans to enter the market?" ”

At this time, I dare to enter the market, I am afraid that Lin Zhichao is the only one in Hong Kong.

Lin Zhichao said: "Not bad! I'm going to gamble, so I'm going to take out 15 million Hong Kong dollars to enter the market, please buy the hotel, bus, KMB, HK Electric, CLP for me. It's a dozen stocks, each of which buys a portion of it. ”

He plans to take out 30 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the bottom and enter the market in two batches, so that the funds will not be idle too much, and there is no need to press all on real estate. At the same time, his total capital for buying the bottom this time is 250 million, and he has spent more than 30 million yuan to buy real estate (including 13 million sold by Li Gaofu), and is ready to allocate 30 million yuan to speculate in stocks.

Starting in September, the remaining four months will be ready to buy real estate on a large scale, and there are more than 180 million yuan; of course, it depends on the specific situation, and it may not be all spent.

Mo Yingji said with admiration: "Sir Lin is really bold! Then I won't advise you, because I know that you are much better than us. Then I will dock with Manager Zhou later to ensure that your funds are bought smoothly. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Well, I bought it in two months, and it's all right." ”

Buy 15 million in the first two months, buy 15 million in the next two months, and complete the bottom this year.

"No problem, I know Mr. Lin's worries!"

"Okay, drink!"

The days that followed.

"A Citizen Lin Zhichao" had a great impact, so it also annoyed Zuo Lengchan, and some people threatened to let Lin Zhichao be on the 'traitor list' and 'must-kill list'; of course, Lin Zhichao still didn't get on it in the end, probably because his wording was relatively mild.

But in any case, Lin Zhichao's personal safety in Hong Kong is already at a dangerous level, and overseas family and friends have persuaded him to hide overseas.

Joke!

If he hides, won't he lose his fame for a lifetime?

Therefore, Lin Zhichao began to come to the Global Building to work instead. But his mode of transportation is more special, which is to get to the pier in Sheung Wan by yacht, and then sail into the Universal Tower in a convoy that has already been prepared. During this period, it was only a short drive, and the safety factor was greatly improved.

In the vicinity of the Universal Building, there is a 24-hour JC on duty, because when the Hong Kong government proposed to protect Lin Zhichao, he asked JC to take more care of the Universal Building. This building is the headquarters of several of his groups, and it is naturally of great significance.

"Boss, there are some properties here that are very nice, I have sorted them out!" Hu Zhaoxu came to his office and handed over a document.

Recently, Cheung Kong Property has started to acquire a large number of cheap properties, and there are transactions happening almost every day.

Due to the rush of a large number of wealthy people to emigrate, the real estate market has become a panic sell-off, and even then, it is a situation where there is no price. At this time, Changjiang Real Estate secretly acquired land, property, land, etc., which was simply making a lot of money.

A site in Central is only HK$260 per square foot (also divided into Central); A site in Wan Chai costs only HK$60 per square foot (also divided into lots); A single-family building in Mid-Levels only costs 600,000 Hong Kong dollars (8,000 square feet) and such a bargain is not too much.

Such a property, even in two months, will not have a chance to buy, and the price will rise slightly. After all, if the chaos is a little better, there are still many people who are ready to move overseas, but the sale of the property will not be so extremely cheap, and some prices will be restored.

"Well, the lot looks good! Although the current price is cheap enough, we also have to choose the location and consider the development prospects. ”

"Yes, there are a lot of properties out there for us to choose from, and we only choose the best and cheapest ones!"

Lin Zhichao nodded, and suddenly he thought that since he could think of this problem, I am afraid that Zheng Yutong, Lee Shau-kee, Guo Desheng, Wang Dehui, etc., would also be unable to help but buy some extremely cheap properties; It's just that they won't bet all of them at the beginning, after all, who would dare to bet all of them on this kind of mess!

"There are many sites and plots, and this countermeasure is right, reduce the investment in rent-collecting properties, and once the real estate recovers, the development of real estate will make money faster." Lin Zhichao commented.

"Okay, I see what the boss meant."

The site, which has property above, may be a property that has been suspended, or an old-fashioned tenement building; It doesn't have to be a large site, and it is necessary to consider merging buildings in the later stage, and of course, priority is given to sites that do not need to be merged.

Land is private land, or land that some real estate developers have auctioned off from official land.

Aside from 30 million Hong Kong dollars in stock speculation, 13 million to buy Li Gaofu's property; Cheung Kong also has more than HK$200 million in land and land, and if calculated at an average price of 50 square feet, Cheung Kong may increase its land bank by 4 million square feet; Together with the original land bank of 1.2 million, that is a land bank of more than 5.2 million square feet.

Of course, we will also buy some rental properties and reserve a little money, so that there is no problem in increasing the land reserve of 280~3 million; All of a sudden, the expansion of the land bank to 4 million square feet is already quite terrifying.

These plots of land are not the opportunity to rob the six tigers of Zheng Yutong, Lee Shau-kee, Wang Dehui and other real estate, but the market is flooded with a large number of properties for sale. In the previous life, without Lin Zhichao, many property owners eventually avoided losses because of the 'price but no market', and in the end, they even failed to move because their assets could not be sold.

Zhang Ji is one of the first 69 members of the Hong Kong Real Estate Association, and at his peak, he was also a property businessman with assets of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

But with the violent shock of the real estate market in the past two or three years, his assets have fallen sharply. What's more, he and his family can't wait to leave Hong Kong and move to Vancouver.

It's not so easy to move abroad, the first thing to consider is 'money', you need money to move and you need money to live abroad; Especially if he is used to the life of a rich man, it is even more impossible for him to live a hard life.

But his more than 10 million property assets have now lost 70% of his wealth, which makes him miserable; But the situation in Hong Kong is so serious, he doesn't want to stay at all.

Must move to Vancouver!

When she returned home, her wife hurriedly said, "Has the property been sold?" All of us are waiting to go to Vancouver, and we have no money to go over, so do we want to live an inferior life? Between the words, I was already inconsiderate of my husband's troubles.

Zhang Ji said unhappily: "What are you anxious about, there are so many people selling properties outside now, do you think there are a few people who buy it, do you understand whether there is a price or not?" ”

The wife didn't care so much, took the children and said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry! Now that there are dead people everywhere, do you think about the safety of such a large family? ”

Zhang Ji suddenly had nothing to say, he had six children, and he couldn't stay at home all the time; Moreover, he is not optimistic about the prospects of Hong Kong, so moving to Vancouver is already a sure thing.

"Master, your company called and said that someone is willing to buy the property and let you go!"

Zhang Ji and his wife are overjoyed!

"You go to the company, sell the property, we can go to the Canadian immigration office to go through the procedures, I heard that there are very long people in line now."

"Got it, don't run around!"

Zhang Ji rushed towards the company!

At the beginning of 1965, he calculated his assets, and all the properties added up to a value of 20 million Hong Kong dollars; However, with the occurrence of the bank run, his property immediately depreciated to 1500~16 million Hong Kong dollars.

When the bank collects debts, he advances the cash from his family into it and keeps the land and land in his hands. But I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen this year, which caused the value of his property to depreciate by 70%, and now the total value is 400~5 million Hong Kong dollars.

Importantly, there is no market!

The whole family is waiting to move to Vancouver, and fellow villagers, friends, and relatives say that it is very good, and the Canadian government is very welcome, and there are more and more Chinese people settling there, so there will be no sense of strangeness.

Zhang Ji put all his properties for sale, and in his opinion, he could sell them, and after selling them for 2 million Hong Kong dollars, he took his family to immigrate. Coupled with the cash and jewelry in his hand, he can live a small rich life when he goes there.

As for the rest of the property, it will be kept and sold, but no one will be in Hong Kong. If it was like the Shanghai Stock Exchange back then, it would be miserable if people couldn't run away.

Wealthy people like Zhang Ji thought about it, Hong Kong was everywhere at this time, and because of this, the market was flooded with a large number of properties for sale. And some of these people, because the property has not been sold, may stop moving overseas after the subsidence later; Even if it subsides, some people no longer trust Hong Kong and continue to choose to emigrate overseas. There are also some people who have lived overseas for a period of time and find that they do not adapt to the life circle of Westerners at all, and they see that Hong Kong is developing very well, so they start to return.

In short, these people have lost a lot of their wealth to those who are determined to develop Hong Kong. This is a feast of wealth shuffling, the old rich are silent and disappearing, and the new rich are beginning to shine.

Only 'God' is 'eternal'.

Many years later, everyone found that Lin Zhichao's family has been the richest man in Hong Kong since 50 years, and it is still the richest man in Hong Kong 70 years later.

When he arrived at the company, after seeing Hu Zhaoxu, Zhang Ji was a little surprised.

He knows Hu Zhaoxu, isn't this Sir Lin's general!

"Manager Hu, is Sir Lin planning to buy our property?"

"Boss Zhang, it's our company that buys your property!"

"Same, the same!"

Afterwards, the two groups sat down and talked.

Hu Zhaoxu is responsible for buying properties in the market, and he is talking about millions of businesses, of course, accompanied by people from the marketing department, and the finances are also personally audited and paid by Zhou Fuzhao.

"Boss Zhang, we are interested in these five sites, but we hope that the price will be more favorable!" Hu Zhaoxu waved the dragon slaying knife without hesitation.

Zhang Ji naturally argued: "Manager Hu, this price has been purchased low, if it weren't for the fact that I was in a hurry to move overseas to live, I wouldn't have sold my painstaking business at all." Assuming too low, I'd not as well "

The latter reason does not need to be concealed, because it is the accepted reason.

Hu Zhaoxu said with a smile: "Staying in Hong Kong, the risk is too great, and Boss Zhang definitely doesn't want to gamble." In this way, I add a little more"

In the end, Zhang Ji quickly agreed to sell, and the bargaining between the two sides was not very serious; One side doesn't want to do things desperately, and the other side is in a hurry to sell.

Hu Zhaoxu knows that the boss values the location the most, followed by the decline in prices; Moreover, if it is to be merged in the later stage, it may also deduct points.

In September, except for a group of bodyguards by Lin Zhichao's side at all times, everything was normal as before; He went to the Global Group, Cheung Kong Industrial, and Cheung Kong Industry as usual to stabilize the morale of the military.

During this time, Cheung Kong never stopped working for a single day, and Cheung Kong had property transactions every day, and the Global Group reached a new level.

There was no accident in Changjiang Industry, which was expected by Lin Zhichao, but it surprised others very much, after all, it was a factory with 13,000 people.

Many entrepreneurs in Hong Kong have suffered this time, such as:

Hu Yingxiang's father, Hu Zhong, originally owned two taxi companies with 500 taxis, but because he fired a worker, some workers sat outside the carport every day and refused to leave; In the end, the strong man had to break his arm and sell almost all the taxis to the workers, who did not have enough money and could only accept installments;

The same is true of He Tian's Yinlong Taxi Company, which plans to sell some taxis, fire the workers, and at most take out the money to dismiss them; But the workers refused and had to return to work. Soon, there were some people sitting in front of the Hang Seng Bank, initially more than 10 people, and then more and more people were sitting, as if the bank was going to squeeze out......

The sand dredgers of Airship Tai also joined the strike, and because he was abroad and there was no senior management to manage it, it caused a catastrophe; You must know that the sand dredging of Airship Tai has signed a contract with the Hong Kong government, and it is very troublesome to take out how much sand you have to take out on a regular basis every year.

Ubiquitous!

In the Yangtze River Industrial Park, 13,000 workers go to work every day, and no one goes on strike.

After two years of wage increases, Cheung Kong's workers' salaries have reached about 300 Hong Kong dollars per month, 13 salaries a year, three holiday benefits, 5 cents per meal, and various on-site activities.

With a lot of welfare, these workers were afraid of losing their current benefits, because there were rumors that Sir Lin had a large fleet of ships and could move factories to Southeast Asia at any time.

As a result, the workers began to monitor each other and never allowed the factory employees to make trouble.

At the same time, there were also people from Zuo Lengchan who came to wander around the factory and were directly driven away by the workers.
