Miramar Hotel.

Lin Zhichao is gathering with Zheng Yutong, Ho Shanheng, Yang Zhiyun, Guo Desheng and others, and everyone will get together as shareholders of New World Development as the construction of New World Center is about to start.

Cheng Yutong's business is based on Chow Tai Fook Enterprises as the parent company, holding more than 30% of the shares of New World Development and 75% of the shares of Kai Tak Real Estate. And Zheng Yutong does not have full control of Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and some old employees still hold a certain amount of equity.

"The construction of New World Center and Raffles City has started one after another, which makes our Chinese capital proud of our eyebrows, and the British capital should also be depressed!" Zheng Yutong's Maitreya Buddha-like smile contains a shark gall style.

"The comparison between British and Chinese-funded, the stock market in the first two years was a watershed, Chinese-funded real estate has been listed, and it has expanded all of a sudden, and it is a little incredible to think about it now." Ho Shanheng also preached.

Everyone discussed the status of British and Chinese capital, and expressed their opinions.

Yang Zhiyun has fallen behind a lot, because there is no Miramar Hotel, his career has dropped by more than half; However, his King Fook Jewellery is one of the three major jewelers in Hong Kong, second only to Chow Tai Fook and Chow Tai Sang; At the same time, Yang Zhiyun is also investing in real estate, and has cooperated with Zheng Yutong many times before.

Yang Zhiyun said: "Actually, the real watershed is when Cheung Kong defeated Hongkong Land and won the king of Central. At that time, we Chinese understood that British capital was no longer so invincible. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up and they all felt that it made sense.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "We Chinese pay attention to unity, so I think it was the listing tide of Chinese-funded companies in 1972 that was the main reason for changing the pattern!" As a banker, the good guy is still very right in his analysis. ”

Everyone also nodded, this is indeed undeniable.

Zheng Yutong continued: "Lin Sheng, the Shangri-La Hotel in Central is about to open this year, right? ”

In the past few years, he has asked Lin Zhichao for hotel information, and he often visits the Miramar Hotel, because New World Center has two five-star hotel plans.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "It's probably June or July, the specific period has not been finalized, and everyone will come to enjoy the light and be lively together!" ”

Zheng Yutong immediately said: "This is natural, you are a Chinese-funded hotel tycoon, and the Kadoorie family is the last." I heard that the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore is now the most profitable hotel in the local area, and it is developing very well! ”

Lin Zhichao said: "The Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore was still losing money in the first year, do you dare to believe it, I heard the first year's financial report at that time, and I couldn't believe it." ”

Zheng Yutong said: "What is the reason, have you found out? ”

"It may have been the lack of influence and the lack of foreign investment in Singapore at that time, but in the second year, the profits soared a lot, and in the third year it became the most profitable hotel in Singapore," said Lim. ”

Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore still has a Modern Wing, but the Garden Wing will also open in the second half of this year. At the same time, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts currently holds a 60% stake in Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts in Singapore, compared to 25% and 15% of the public shares.

Zheng Yutong showed an envious expression, he also likes to invest in big projects, but the construction of the New World Center has only started a few years ago.

"That's not right!"

"Good guy, what's wrong?"

He Shanheng said with a smile: "Lin Sheng's family should have a big happy event this year, right?" ”

Everyone laughed!

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "After the Shangri-La Hotel opens, it will be a happy day for children, and everyone will be invited to have a glass of wine at that time." ”

His son's wedding, even if he didn't invite him, many people took the initiative to attend, and many overseas guests came. Therefore, it is unrealistic to be low-key, and it will inevitably cause a storm in the city at that time.

After the party, Lin Zhichao was a little drunk and was about to go home.

"Chairman"

Lin Zhichao turned around, it turned out to be Yu Huafang, and he said: "Why are you still working overtime, is it very busy at work?" ”

Yu Huafang hurriedly said: "No, I happened to be on a late shift today, and a colleague asked for leave." ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, and planned to continue to go home.

Yu Huafang saw that Lin Zhichao was about to leave, and hurriedly said: "Chairman, I see that you are a little drunk, do you want to go to your suite for a cup of tea before leaving, it is cold outside, and it is easy to catch a cold when the cold wind blows." ”

Lin Zhichao turned his head again, saw Yu Huafang's appearance, and thought that maybe the little niece had something to ask for him, so he was ready to agree.

"Okay, then have a cup of tea and go home!"

After speaking, Lin Zhichao walked upstairs.

Soon after arriving at his suite, the bodyguard put in a person, it was Yu Huafang.

She hurriedly made tea for Lin Zhichao, under the command of Lin Zhichao.

"Uncle Lin, the tea is ready!"

After making tea, she stood in front of Lin Zhichao, respectfully.

Lin Zhichao nodded, cocked Erlang's legs, and looked at Yu Huafang. The peach blossom eyes and the pouting mouth are really obvious, but the temperament is somewhat different from the previous life, the previous life was gorgeous, this life is coquettish, different family environments, temperament is still different. In this life, she is still a rich girl.

"There are only so many things I can do to help you in the second room, in the final analysis, I have a friendship with your father, but I have no friendship with your second room; The reason why I helped you last time was because I saw that your brother Huanren is also a talent, and he can help your father and the company. ”

The implication is that don't expect to use your shares to suppress Yu Chengwan, it's impossible. Although Wu Bing has flattered Wu Wenying in various ways over the years, this is obviously premeditated, and Lin Zhichao's help to the Yu family is even greater.

At this time, although Yu Huanren sat as the general manager, he did not hold the equity of Wancheng Development after all, at most, he would get a salary and hold a certain amount of power. But at the same time, Cheung Kong has also appointed two directors to supervise Wancheng Development not to make mistakes again.

In fact, when the stock market booms in the future, Lin Zhichao is also ready to cash out. Originally, this company was invited by a friend, not Lin Zhichao's intention to make money; However, since I invested 14 million Hong Kong dollars, I will always earn several times in the future.

"Uncle Lin, I don't mean anything, I. I just want to thank you for arranging for me to work at Miramar Hotel, and Vice President Lin also took good care of me. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded slightly, then picked up the teacup and drank tea, he came up just to explain that he didn't keep thinking that he would help the second room.

If Yu Huanren can make achievements and he has equity, he will naturally let Yu Chengwan consider the real successor, all of this is just a matter of convenience, and it is also for the Yu family.

"And what else do you have?" Lin Zhichao asked.

Yu Huafang looked up at Lin Zhichao and said boldly: "Uncle Lin, why don't I massage it for you!" ”

Lin Zhichao suddenly became angry and vigilant, and then said, "No need! There is a difference between men and women, and you are not a professional! ”

Yu Huafang took a step forward and said again: "Uncle Lin, you have been the person I have admired since you were a child, and I want to follow you!" ”

Lin Zhichao frowned, not that he was surprised to encounter this kind of confession, to be honest, he met a lot of girls to come up, and it was already commonplace; Of course, Lin Zhichao also almost all refused, in his previous life, only a few Japanese beauties entered his eyes, not that the Japanese beauties were beautiful enough, but that Lin Zhichao felt that there was no need to have too much burden in his heart.

Therefore, regardless of whether Yu Huafang is his junior or not, even if she is a beautiful girl who has nothing to do with it, he will not be involved in the relationship.

"You have to distinguish between emotional matters, we can't have feelings between men and women, and I can count as watching you grow up, so don't mention this matter in the future. I don't think anything happened tonight, you know, I can come up and invite you to make me tea, just because of our fate, if there is something to say in the future, I can help! ”

Yu Huafang suddenly blushed, she was rejected.

But she still heard Lin Zhichao's words, so she said: "I also want to join Wancheng Development!" ”

Lin Zhichao saw ambition in the eyes of this girl, and he said: "Since this is the case, you can tell your own brother about it." As long as you have the ability, Wancheng Development naturally needs you. ”

Yu Huafang said: "Thank you Uncle Lin for your advice!" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "That's right! If you think why women can't fight for power, I won't be so rigid, and it's not my business anyway. Wancheng Development has suffered a lot of losses by your two elder brothers, and now your own brother hopes the most, but he doesn't seem to have much ability, you join in, maybe you can be in charge of the house with your ability in the future. But I won't help you directly, I can only rely on your real skills. ”

Since he came to the door, he came up with an idea. As for the shares in his hands, sooner or later he will have to cash out at a high price.

Yu Chengwan's evening is not guaranteed, he lost a lot of money last time, and Lin Zhichao was also a little unhappy about the shareholders. Everyone is a friend, but they secretly speculate in stocks without telling their shareholders.

He didn't want to be partial to the second room, but in the end he had to help the second room.

Yu Huafang immediately understood that as long as she asked her brother to arrange for her to join the company, then there would be great hope in the future.

As for Uncle Lin not taking a fancy to himself, maybe he is just not good enough, and he will have a chance in the future.

Thinking of this, she said happily: "Thank you Uncle Lin for your advice!" ”

"Alright! The tea has been drunk, and the matter has been clarified, so let's go, so as not to gossip! ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for your trouble!"

Lin Zhichao wasn't afraid of this, but he didn't want to do that.

Victoria Harbour Centre, Woo Kwan Lee Lo Solicitors.

Lin Zhichao led Zhou Fuzhao and Hu Zhaoxu to sign a contract with Li Fushu, Li Fuzhao, Li Guobao, Feng Bingfen and others of Chinese Real Estate to purchase the Huarenxing Building.

Under the witness of two barristers, Hu Baoxing and Li Yeguang, everyone signed the sales contract.

Cheung Kong Asset Group acquired the China Hang Building at 28 Queen's Road Central for HK$150 million (US$27 million).

This old-style building is still so valuable, you can imagine the Poly Building, Yingzhi Building, Global Building, International Building, and Midea Building in Lin Zhichao's hands. and other Central buildings, each of which is worth more than 100 million.

Of course, the reason why the Chinese City Building is valuable is not only its geographical location, but also its long history.

Overall, well worth the investment!

"Sir Lin, let's take a picture and keep it as a souvenir!" Feng Bingfen said with a smile.

"No problem, it's really worth commemorating, the Chinese Building is a famous building in Hong Kong, and we got it today, it's so worth remembering." Lin Zhichao readily agreed.

Chinese Real Estate owns such a building, but chooses to sell it, which shows that the descendants of the Li family and the Feng family are no longer enough to defend the city, how can they develop?

In fact, the later Feng Bingfen family went bankrupt (failed in investment) in the eighties, of course, even if this kind of family goes bankrupt, it has a successor, and it will not live an ordinary life.

The Li Peicai family has been wealthy for six or seven generations, after all, the Bank of East Asia has been controlled by them since then, for example, Li Guobao, who is here today, is the chairman of the Bank of East Asia.

"Click"

The sound of the shutter sounded, and everyone took a group photo.

There are four people sitting in the first row, Lin Zhichao and Feng Bingfen are sitting in the middle, and on either side are Li Fushu and Zhou Fuzhao (Changshi God of Wealth)

There were seven or eight people standing in the second row, including Li Fuzhao, Li Guobao, Li Yeguang, Hu Baoxing, Hu Zhaoxu and others.

After the transaction, Lin Zhichao did not leave the law firm immediately, but came to Li Yeguang's office.

Li Yeguang is one of the directors of Cheung Kong Asset Group and one of Lin Zhichao's advisers, but he does not receive the salaries of Cheung Kong and Lin Zhichao; Although he does not receive a salary, he has been very helpful to the decision-making of Cheung Kong Group's shareholding structure, stock market fundraising, and stock investment.

"Lawyer Li, to be honest, every time I ask you for help, it's always a little difficult to speak!"

Li Yeguang immediately said: "Lin Sheng, you are too polite, you give us the business of the law firm, and you are also the entrepreneur I admire the most, so you must not be polite." ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "Lawyer Li, you also know the strength of Cheung Kong Group, in addition to abundant cash flow, there are various channels to obtain funds, such as the upcoming fundraising in Toronto, as well as the promised loans of major banks. ”

Li Yeguang immediately said: "I understand what Lin Sheng meant, you want to acquire some real estate companies, especially the kind of enterprises that are in trouble, but have high-quality and rich assets." ”

That's smart people!

"Not bad!"

"Okay, if I have good channels and ideas in the future, I will definitely communicate with Lin Sheng. Who told me to be a director of Cheung Kong Group? ”

Lin Zhichao immediately said: "You don't receive a salary as a director, which makes me feel a little embarrassed!" ”

Li Yeguang said with a smile: "If you don't receive a salary, you can't say anything, Lin Sheng, don't be polite!" ”

Lin Zhichao could only nod, he also understood what Li Yeguang meant, not receiving a salary does not mean that he will not contribute, on the contrary, Li Yeguang is very willing to give advice to Lin Zhichao. It's just that in this way, Lin Zhichao, who has always valued love and righteousness, always feels that he owes Li Yeguang a favor.

However, according to Li Yeguang's meaning, Lin Zhichao's industry and the business dealings between Hu Guan Li Luo Law Firm can also be regarded as a remuneration.

But in fact, in Hong Kong, these barristers are so popular that the rich are vying to 'slap' them. Even Lin Zhichao can't afford to hire a barrister to serve him alone.

After chatting for a while, Lin Zhichao left satisfied.

It is a good way for Cheung Kong Group to expand and acquire those companies that have some financial problems. Of course, it is not a full acquisition, but for the purpose of holding.

In the past few years, Li Yeguang has helped many real estate developers go public, and their business in this area is very strong, which is exactly the talent that Lin Zhichao needs.

Lin Zhichao has the best relationship with Hu Baoxing and Li Yeguang of Hu Guan Li Luo Law Firm, but Hu Baoxing is more business-oriented (he has a real estate company listed on the stock market, and was later annexed by Lee Shau Kee in good faith), and he was Lin Zhichao's private lawyer in the early days; Li Yeguang is a lawyer of Cheung Kong Group, and he is more of an assistant to business.

Cheung Kong Group took the lead in opening the 'contrarian bottom' and spent $27 million to acquire the Huarenxing Building, which was quickly reported by the media.

For a time, it caused a wide range of discussions.

"At this time, the leaders of companies that can buck the trend and buy the bottom must have a keen vision."

"At the peak of the stock market, Sir Lin advised everyone not to speculate excessively, but to invest in value."

"Cheung Kong Asset Group is a value investment, sufficient cash flow, very low debt ratio, diversified business operations, and high-quality property assets."

"Even if the Hang Seng Index has fallen by 80%, Cheung Kong Group has only fallen by 60%, which is a rare anti-decline enterprise."
