Lin Ruihuan drove to Kai Tak Airport, without a driver, without bodyguards, driving an ordinary German Volkswagen, which makes people never believe that he is the son of the world's ship king.

Regarding the matter of bodyguards, the father and son also discussed, Lin Ruihuan hopes to enjoy a freer environment, and although Lin Zhichao is a little worried, considering that Lin Ruihuan's personality is relatively mature, he plans not to arrange it for the time being.

First of all, Lin Ruihuan has no exposure in Hong Kong; Secondly, Lin Ruihuan has a mature personality, if there is really an accident, Lin Zhichao will definitely redeem him as soon as possible, no matter how much it costs; Finally, after Lin Ruihuan gets married, consider arranging bodyguards, so that the timing is better.

The robbers of this era did not dare to provoke a very influential person like Lin Zhichao, and the robbers generally only provoked two kinds of people - rich and powerful, representing of course Wang Dehui of later generations; The representative of the people who fished out the deviation was Fu Laorong and his son in the forties.

As for the other cases, only Shao Weiming, the son of Shao Laoliu in the 60s, was kidnapped in Singapore.

Based on these considerations, when Lin Zhichao really attaches importance to security, it is expected to be in the mid-to-late nineties, when the Big Circle Gang is most arrogant.

Walking into the airport building, Lin Ruihuan held flowers in his hand, and he was a little excited.

"Brother Huan"

When he heard a crisp voice, Lin Ruihuan suddenly ran to Luo Huijun in a happy mood.

"Huijun"

The pair couldn't help but hug each other, and then quickly separated.

It turned out that today was the day of Luo Huijun's arrival in Hong Kong, and Lin Ruihuan personally arranged for Luo Huijun's settlement in Hong Kong.

After graduating from Harvard Business School, Luo Huijun naturally did not worry about not having a job, so her first job was at International Treasure Paper.

After getting into the car, Luo Huijun smiled and said: "Brother Huan, you have been back to the Hong Kong base camp for a year now, and you are still driving this ordinary car!" ”

In her expression, there is a very innocent smile, but there is no snobbish and disgusted expression.

Lin Ruihuan said naturally while driving: "Of course, the purpose of driving is convenience, and this car is very suitable for me." It's not that I can't afford to buy a Mercedes-Benz car or something, but I just don't have a fancy model. ”

Luo Huijun quipped: "It seems that the salary has been raised again!" ”

Lin Ruihuan smiled: "How can there be any salary increase!" My salary in the U.S. is enough for me to live a very comfortable life in Hong Kong. After returning to Hong Kong, my salary dropped to one-fifth, and I only had more than 6,000 Hong Kong dollars a month! ”

Luo Huijun's silver-bell-like smile filled the car, she felt that Lin Ruihuan was 'so miserable', and her salary was cut by 80% after returning to Hong Kong. You must know that in the last year of Rui Huan in the United States, he received an annual salary of 80,000 US dollars, because he was the deputy project manager, and he was already at the level of middle and low-level management in the United States.

Lin Ruihuan felt that the car was very warm, and his girlfriend Luo Huijun never disliked him for not being able to get the family's money; In fact, after he returned to Hong Kong to work, his father had already opened his mouth - if he was short of money, he could ask his mother directly, whether it was an investment or a luxury purchase, he could take it, and there was no limit to the amount.

But Lin Ruihuan feels that he lives in Hong Kong and does not need his family's money at all. In many high-consumption places, his father directly applied for a membership card for him, and he did not need to spend money on consumption, such as yacht clubs, golf courses, Miramar hotels, etc.

After the car drove into the mid-levels, it came to a high-end building.

Lin Ruihuan took Luo Huijun's luggage, and then took his girlfriend to a unit on the top floor of the building.

Luo Huijun said: "Isn't the rent here very expensive? ”

Even if she has never been to Hong Kong, she knows that Mid-Levels is a wealthy area, and after listening to Rui Huan's introduction, this building has its own clubhouse, restaurant, tennis court and other public facilities, and she knows that it is very expensive when she hears it.

Lin Ruihuan said: "I went to the house to get it, and I didn't collect money, so I won't let you pay rent." ”

Luo Huijun was not hypocritical, so he said: "Okay, just when I can't pay the rent. Wow, where is Central and Victoria Harbour? ”

She came out onto the balcony and was stunned by the sight in front of her.

Wide view, bustling Central, beautiful Victoria Harbour, all in sight.

Lin Ruihuan hugged his girlfriend's waist from behind and said, "Well, this is what Hong Kong looks like!" ”

reunited after a long absence, the relationship between the two heated up rapidly, and soon became tired. Of course, Lin Ruihuan is not as direct as Lin Zhichao, he and his father Lin Zhichao are two extremes in terms of feelings, one is very dedicated and the other is very attentive.

79 Deep Water Bay.

The Lin family is having dinner, and today is more sumptuous to celebrate the return of Lin Zhichao's second son, Lin Ruijiang, to work in Hong Kong.

"Big brother, thank you for not paying for your girlfriend, you can still go home tonight to pick me up!" Lin Ruijiang said with a smile. After saying that, he didn't forget to squeeze his eyebrows.

Lin Ruihuan immediately said: "Originally, I planned to go home for dinner today, you don't pretend to be amorous!" ”

Lin Ruijiang said with a sigh: "Why don't I believe it, you and your sister-in-law have rarely met this year, and now we can finally meet every day, and we can still be tired of being together?" You know, my younger brother specially takes care of you, and when he returns to Hong Kong a few days later, he won't give you a difficult choice. ”

For a while, Lin Wanzhu, Lin Huizhu, and Lin Ruicheng's three younger siblings began to coax.

Lin Ruihuan said unhurriedly: "When the man is married, the woman is married, what are you laughing at!" ”

When the four younger siblings saw that the eldest didn't eat that, they were bored and didn't continue the topic. The eldest is good at everything, but it is more boring, more 'boring' than the father, this is the opinion of the younger siblings. But everyone also knows that the boss is the one who takes care of everyone the most, even if it is a small detail, the boss will take care of everyone.

On the other hand, Lin Zhichao and his wife did not stop this, their family is not a feudal family, and there is no rule that does not allow not to speak at the dinner table, as long as it is not too noisy. What's more, this kind of brother-sister relationship is also what they want to see as parents.

"Dad, I can go to work tomorrow!" Lin Ruijiang put away the expression of the hippie smile and said respectfully.

"Well, go to the Yangtze River Industry Group to report to your Uncle Wang, and he will arrange for you to work." Lin Zhichao said casually.

Lin Ruijiang immediately asked curiously, "What job is it?" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "Just obey the arrangement!" What qualifications do you have to choose a job as a newcomer who has just graduated from the workplace? ”

Lin Ruijiang was stunned for a moment, and could only whisper: "I am also a 'top student' in the computer engineering department who graduated from a famous university, and many companies are rushing to recruit graduates from our school!" ”

Lin Zhichao continued to strike: "Don't worry, the leaders of the subsidiary department will also coax you, this is our respect for talents." But in the eyes of my boss, you are not enough, I have a lot of doctors and masters! ”

Lin Ruijiang was suddenly 'greatly frustrated' and began to concentrate on dealing with food, and now it was his younger siblings' turn to start frowning at him. But Lin Ruijiang directly looked at his brother, and immediately let Lin Wanzhu, Lin Huizhu, and Lin Ruicheng bury their heads in eating.

In fact, Lin Ruijiang's work was arranged by Lin Zhichao, and he worked in the 'Walkman' project department of Midea Electronics.

The first is that it believes that the 'Walkman', a product that sacrifices sound quality, will not win the preference of music lovers; the second is that Midea Electronics is only a Hong Kong company, and it only has experience in assembling radios, and does not believe that it can create good products.

Of course, none of this affects Midea Electronics's research and development and patent application for 'Walkman', and Lin Zhichao feels that it will definitely be able to be launched to the market within three years.

The technology of the Walkman is not complicated, not to mention that some key components are purchased, so Midea Electronics must have succeeded around 1975.

Following.

Lin Zhichao personally handed over Lin Ruijiang to Wang Liang and asked him to arrange work, and finally Wang Liang handed it over to Li Zhenlong, the president of Midea. Finally, Li Zhenlong arranged Lin Ruijiang to the 'Walkman' project department to do research and development work.

"Ruijiang, what does your father think, he actually asked you to do technology research and development, you don't know this?" Li Zhenlong said with a smile.

Lin Ruijiang is the son of the boss, and he naturally knows that he has come to the company for an internship before.

"Uncle Zhenlong, isn't this what I studied, so it's good to do R&D work."

Li Zhenlong said: "Okay, you can work with peace of mind, we will complete this walkman in the next three years, and now it is almost a certain prototype." ”

Lin Ruijiang's heart was immediately hot, he had learned about the concept of the 'Walkman' product, and felt that this product must be the favorite of music lovers.

"Yes, General Manager Li, I will do a good job!"

In this way, Lin Ruijiang started his work experience in technology research and development.

Lin Zhichao naturally has a deep meaning in doing this, he knows that this second son has a detached personality, so he plans to let him hone in the technical research and development position; What's more, managers with technical backgrounds have more advantages, after all, Changjiang Industrial Group will be a technology company in the future.

In early July, a month after its listing, Cheung Kong Asset Group announced the purchase of 52 sites totaling 1.23 million square feet of reserve land (Hong Kong and Kowloon) for HK$735 million.

For a time, the market value of Cheung Kong Asset Group once again exceeded 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the influence was felt.

Why did you say that the market value exceeded 3 billion Hong Kong dollars again?

It turned out that the market value of Cheung Kong Asset Group had exceeded 3 billion yuan in the week after its listing; However, after the financial chaos in Hong Kong, banks suspended exchange rates, and the Kowloon Stock Exchange also needed to suspend business, so the Hang Seng Index fell for a while.

In the general environment, the market value of Cheung Kong Asset also fell by HK$3 billion, and at one time it was only a little more than HK$2.7 billion.

At the conference table in Lin Zhichao's office, he was having a meeting with the 'Big Three'.

"After the company goes public, we think about more things, such as how to increase liquidity and expand the strength of funds. Today, Cheung Kong Group's debt has reached 280 million, and its liquidity is almost exhausted, leaving only 50 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Enterprises with a market value of 3 billion have a working capital of only 50 million Hong Kong dollars, which is indeed relatively small.

As for the debt of 280 million, almost all of them are owed to Victoria Harbour Real Estate, and Lin Zhichao gave a preferential interest rate of 6% per annum. I originally wanted to be interest-free, but it turned out that it was not good to do that and it would cause some trouble.

Huang Changhong said: "If you want to increase your cash flow, you can choose to open more land and increase the profit of developing real estate. ”

Lin Zhichao replied: "This is not needed! This year, we still try to control the profit of the development site at 60 million Hong Kong dollars, and the land still needs to be developed for a long time. ”

Huang Changhong had to nod and said: "In fact, although our real estate development profits in the past two years are 5000~60 million Hong Kong dollars, the main reason is that the cost of our land is low, and the overall supply is still not much different from the second place." ”

Cheung Kong's land is almost never more than 100 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, which is indeed very cheap, and the cost of other people's land is about 200 Hong Kong dollars.

Lin Zhichao said: "In the later stage, we must also pay attention to not rely too much on the profits of developing real estate, simply put, the gap with the other top few is not too big, and even not to be the first." It's not that I don't want to make money if I have money, but I think about two things: first, the problem of market supply, and the problem of land reserve; Second, Cheung Kong Group should be a comprehensive real estate enterprise, with commercial real estate development, beverage and food development, and retail development. ”

"Understood"

The three executives spoke in unison. They also know that with the financial strength of the boss, if the real estate in Hong Kong is fully developed, it will have a great influence. Because of this, Cheung Kong Group has hardly purchased land for about four years.

Of course, if you don't buy land, you have to find investment channels for funds, and you just need to invest in commercial real estate.

Then, Zhou Fuzhao said: "In the first fiscal year of Cheung Kong Group's listing, our external forecast was 100 million profits; If we issue 100 million worth of new shares at the right time, our financial situation will be very healthy. Of course, the current debt of 280 million is not much. ”

In this era, listed companies will forecast the profits of the current fiscal year to boost their stock prices.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhichao said: "When issuing new shares, we can choose to exchange the shares of peer real estate companies, and then we can cash out more cash flow as long as we sell at a high point, which is the best way such as Hopewell Properties, Sun Hung Kai Properties, Carnival Properties, and Hutchison International."

Zhou Fuzhao immediately said: "Okay, I'll take care of this matter." ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, the real estate companies he said were not only the leaders of real estate companies, but also the relationship between their leaders and Lin Zhichao was not bad.

Of course, this exchange of new shares is beneficial to both parties. Issuing new shares to the public, all they get is cash, and it is troublesome; If new shares are issued in exchange for new shares of other companies, then they only need to be cashed out from the market after the price rises.

It is worth pointing out that there is no 'thawing period' for this new stock, and it can be cashed out at any time.

In this era, the Hong Kong stock market is too little constrained by laws and regulations.

"In this way, we issued 100 million worth of new shares, and in fact, we ended up cashing out far more than 100 million."

It may be 200 million, or even 300 million, there are too many leeks.

Huang Changhong said with a smile: "The stock market is too hot, and most of the company's employees are speculating in stocks. ”

Later, housewives, cleaners. They also joined in; Later, their money was harvested.

Hearing Huang Changhong's words, Lin Zhichao immediately said: "You post notices inside the company - it is strictly forbidden to speculate in stocks during working hours, and then post some warning slogans in the office area - the stock market has risen and fallen, please do what you can, and don't speculate in debt." ”

The three of them suddenly tightened, and the boss would not say this for no reason, so they nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely warn in place!"

Lin Zhichao thought about it and was still not at ease, and said: "I'll write something later, make a display board and hang it in the office area, or put the booklet in the company to read." The main thing is to make our staff really understand the way of investing; The market is flooded with too many people who don't even know what stocks are, and if they can make money in the future, then whose money are we going to make? ”

Huang Changhong nodded seriously and said: "Okay, we must do this matter seriously, and now there is such a sentence outside - as long as a pig is listed in Hong Kong, it can be doubled soon."

This is the truth, the portrayal of truth.

After a while, the Hong Kong antenna is almost the same! There is no product, no patent, just with a concept, it will be directly listed to raise 25 million, the scale is only a little less than the previous life of Cheung Kong Group, and the important thing is that the stock price has risen from 2.2 yuan to 30 yuan, an increase of more than 14 times.

After the meeting ended, Lin Zhichao thought about it in the office.

After selling 1.23 million square feet of land in Hong Kong and Kowloon, Victoria Harbour Property still has about 2.4 million square feet of New Territories land exchange rights and New Territories land in hand, and received HK$500 million in cash and a remaining payment of 235 million.

The cash obtained will be used to repay the $300 million loan, and the remaining cash flow funds will continue to support the construction of the 'Burj Al Arab' and the 'Harbour Centre', and together with the proceeds from Harbour Real Estate, it will be able to 'break even' at the end of the year.

In other words, since 1973, the rent of Victoria Harbour Property has belonged to Lin Zhichao's cash flow; And the remaining payment of 235 million will also become his cash flow.

Unconsciously, Lin Zhichao began to have a surplus of 'idle funds'.
