Late January.

In the conference room of Cheung Kong Group, Lin Zhichao and the senior management are having a meeting.

Wong, who is semi-retired and only retains a directorship of Cheung Kong Group, did not attend the meeting.

In this way, Lin Ruihuan became the second-in-command (deputy managing director) of Cheung Kong Group, and the 'first leader' of actual management, because Lin Zhichao did not manage the company's small and medium-sized affairs.

Under Lin Ruihuan were Mai Lisi, Zhou Fuzhao, Hu Zhaoxu, Zhou Huaian and other high-level executives, and everyone sat energetically.

So many enterprises in Hong Kong have suffered, but Cheung Kong Group is the only one that has a cash flow of tens of billions (including London stocks) and can advance and retreat freely.

"Hutchison Whampoa's holdings, how is it progressing?"

Veteran Zhou Fuzhao said: "It has been successfully completed, with a total purchase of 8% of the shares, costing 275 million Hong Kong dollars, and at present, Cheung Kong Group holds 55.2% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded with satisfaction, after this battle, Cheung Kong Group's control over Hutchison Whampoa was as solid as a rock. And in the past 20 days, he, Ma Shimin, and Mai Lisi have also mastered all the management of Hutchison Whampoa, and also controlled the entire Hutchison Whampoa.

The management of these foreigners said that what they were pursuing was nothing more than not to lose their jobs, how could they really be in the same camp as Richard's three people. What's more, everyone's admiration for Lin Zhichao is real, and the exclusion of Chinese senior staff at the beginning was just planned by Richard, Xia Boyin and others.

"At present, the real estate is in a downturn, and it is a good time to arrange the purchase, if there is a suitable land and property, you can choose to buy. Secondly, the development of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon has been saturated, and it must be towards the New Territories in the future, so the land exchange interest and the land in the New Territories can also be purchased; Luxury land is also an asset with greater potential for appreciation in the future, but considering our financial strength, we should pay attention to the strength of our purchases and not cause a market sensation. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement!

Lin Zhichao continued: "The Yangtze River Plaza can also be arranged to start construction this year, and the more the economy is down, the lower our construction costs will be. After the construction is completed, it will be able to meet the economic boom again. ”

Everyone admires the courage of their bosses, such as Hongkong Land has stopped many projects, and Cheung Kong Group has started construction of 'Yangtze River Plaza'.

Immediately, Lin Ruihuan made a work report: "The drawings of the Yangtze River Plaza have come out, if the construction starts this year, it is expected to be completed in six years, with a total construction cost of about 2.6 billion Hong Kong dollars, including the huge decoration cost of the hotel, which can provide 800,000 square feet of super large shopping mall, and four buildings are two office buildings, two hotel buildings and serviced apartments, with a total commercial floor area of 5.2 million square feet."

When everyone heard about this big project, they couldn't help but be amazed.

The entire Admiralty, to put it bluntly, is the fief of the 'Lin family', including the commercial area on the north side, and the Lin family has a commercial floor area of 10 million square feet in Admiralty, forming a commercial kingdom.

What is the concept of 10 million square feet, in the previous life, Wharf Group developed to a completed state (the completion of the redevelopment of Harbour City, Times Square, and the investment in Diamond Hill King), and the commercial area was only 9.5 million square feet.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Let's start work as soon as possible, we have been preparing for many years!" ”

Lin Ruihuan replied: "Okay, I'll organize it immediately!" ”

Next, Lin Zhichao announced another shocking news: "Cheung Kong Group has a cash flow and stocks of tens of billions of yuan, so I decided to invest in the real estate industry in Japan and set up a special project later to cooperate with my work." ”

You can go to Japan in advance to buy the bottom!

Even Lam's private investment company, Harbour Investment, is poised to invest heavily in Japanese securities and real estate.

Lin Ruihuan said: "Okay. Chairman, Exchange Square in Hongkong Land's hands? ”

This kid is still worried about the real estate of the land!

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "It's not that you have to buy it, you don't have to take it to heart!" What's more, we have funds to take at any time, so to speak, many places are a good time to invest at the moment, even if there is more debt, because there is no problem. ”

Everyone can't help but feel that everyone says that the economic crisis is in the economy, but their boss says that there are opportunities everywhere, and everyone's views are really different! However, they also understand that the boss has never missed the judgment of this situation along the way.

In the afternoon, Lin Zhichao came to Hutchison Whampoa again and discussed with Ma Shimin and Mai Lisi in the office.

Mailith is a director of both companies, and his specific work is more about government affairs than investment. But no matter what, he is equivalent to Lin Zhichao's big butler and has won Lin Zhichao's trust.

After Huang Changhong retired, Lin Ruihuan took his place, and Mai Lisi was equivalent to the substantive 'second-in-command'. At present, Lin Zhichao doesn't let Lin Ruihuan worry about the affairs of Hutchison Whampoa, and he is also worried about his work attitude, and he can't be busy.

So the work of Hutchison Whampoa was actually done by Ma Shimin and Mairis, and of course, a senior executive named 'Jonas' was promoted to the director of the business.

"This year, Hutchison Whampoa's work will be discussions on privatising four of its listed companies and acquiring several significant assets from Hongkong Land." Lin Zhichao said first.

Hutchison Whampoa did not have a very big impact in this crisis, after all, there was no real estate and financial investment. Optimistically, Hutchison Whampoa's profits will exceed HK$1 billion this year, or even reach HK$1.5 billion, because once the four listed companies are privatized, then their profits will be calculated in the hands of Hutchison Whampoa.

In the same way, the market value of Hutchison Whampoa will naturally increase accordingly.

Ma Shimin said: "Hutchison Whampoa's account only has 2.6 billion Hong Kong dollars (converted, some of which are US dollar accounts), and if it is privatized in cash, it will be very expensive to consume financial strength, and I suggest that some of it be exchanged for shares." After all, the value of HK Electric is still around HK$3 billion. ”

He is most optimistic about HK Electric, as for Dairy International and Wellcome, Hongkong Land may not be willing to do so, after all, these assets have been taken for a long time.

Lin Zhichao said: "There is no problem, you can do this according to the situation!" Cheung Kong Group's increase in Hutchison Whampoa is only needed for a certain period of time, and there is no specific reason. ”

Dilution is dilution, and it will not be less than 45%, not to mention that Cheung Kong Group can also increase its holdings.

Ma Shimin asked curiously: "Sir Lin, what is the attitude of Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda?" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "It is difficult for them to make the decision of a strong man to break his wrist, after all, it means that they admit their mistakes." However, the Keswick family is seizing power, and it is not surprising that it will be in the first half of this year, when Hongkong Land will also have the biggest financial crisis, and I believe that Simon Keswick will definitely hand over HK Electric. ”

He salutes first and then soldiers, and will definitely find trouble with Land!

Ma Shimin said: "Makes sense! HK Electric has a larger patent right than the Hong Kong Telephone Company, which is naturally the primary asset of Hutchison Whampoa. ”

Next, Lin Zhichao said: "There are 20 days left for our Chinese Spring Festival, and the Chinese will make big purchases. So I'm going to have PARKnSHOP come to an unprecedented event, advertise in the media, and ignite the fire of the big sale. The price reduction does not need to be too large, but the time can be tentatively set for half a year"

PARKnSHOP and Wellcome are already the largest supermarket groups in Hong Kong, and the third place basically has no sense of existence, and only two are considered giants. Therefore, the two families are also 'not sharing the sky', and from the day they coexisted, the two sides wanted to defeat their opponents and dominate Xiangjiang.

This month, Li Yeguang mentioned that among the assets he was interested in, there was Wellcome Supermarket.

Ma Shimin's eyes lit up and said: "Taking advantage of Hongkong Land's heavy debts, we took the initiative to provoke a big war, and even if Wellcome Supermarket went all out, then Hongkong Land would be even worse." At the same time, we can increase the surplus of customers, and figure out that other small and medium-sized supermarkets are in trouble, and as long as this wave is defeated, PARKnSHOP will be able to dominate Hong Kong. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "That's the reason!" There is no monopoly law in Hong Kong, so there is no need to worry. But one thing, the Hong Kong dollar is depreciating, and I think the worst-case scenario will be 8, so you have to pay attention to that. In addition, the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar can cause a rush to buy goods, which is expected to explode around the middle of the year, and you can also stock up appropriately. In this way, we actually avoid the cost of the discount! ”

Ma Shimin and Mai Lisi couldn't help but admire, this tycoon's vision and insight are definitely unmatched in the world.

The depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar is a fact, but who dares to say that it will depreciate so much!

And this kind of thing is completely possible when the Hong Kong dollar devalues sharply.

The three of them talked about a lot of things, and soon determined the general policy of Hutchison Whampoa.

As far as the eye can see, the Rising Sun superyacht is docked on the sea.

On the deck, there was a peaceful atmosphere, and I saw Tang Caiyun, Xu Caiying, and Audrey Hepburn, three seniors, talking and laughing with Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, and Guan Jiahui.

Lin Zhichao sat on the chair, holding a red wine glass, and his heart was slowly filled with a sense of accomplishment. Since the last time Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying went to Xiangdao Road Villa to meet their husband's three lovers, they decided to 'turn enemies into friends' and include them in the relationship circle.

No, Audrey Herd was supposed to spend the eve of the Spring Festival in Hong Kong, and everyone made an appointment to vacation on a superyacht.

Zhao Yazhi: "Sister Yun, you are too young, this skin is better than a girl's skin!" ”

Tang Caiyun: "You will be the same in the future, I don't believe you don't feel it!" ”

Lin Zhichao listened not far away, 'haha' and laughed: "My credit!" ”

Everyone looked at him shyly, and they all understood in their hearts, but they were just embarrassed to say it.

"Husband, take pictures of us, isn't that your interest?" Tang Caiyun said not far away.

Lin Zhichao immediately got up and walked in to get his camera and prepare to take pictures.

After a while, he came to the deck and said, "It's a pity it's not summer, and the weather isn't bright enough!" ”

Tang Caiyun said with a smile: "What's the pity, since we have met, you want to invite us out to play in the future, don't you give face!" ”

The women laughed!

The young third girl said in her heart, this big house is really easy to talk to, and the amount of qi is also very large.

"Makes sense!"

Subsequently, he took a group photo of the six girls, and everyone was in good spirits!

In fact, everyone also understands that there is no stake in each other, Lin Zhichao's seven adult sons are already on their own, and they are Lin Zhichao's career helpers, and it is only a matter of time before they inherit the company.

Since there is no stake, and Lin Zhichao is so strong and excellent, of course, they only have the meaning of obeying men when they are women.

In fact, these women don't know very well that Lin Zhichao also has a wealth worth 900~100 billion Hong Kong dollars - Victoria Harbour Investment, including Tang Caiyun, Xu Caiying, and Audrey Hepburn, all of whom do not know the specific situation of Victoria Harbour Investment.

This part of the assets belongs to Lin Zhichao's hole cards, and on the day he dies, he will be notified to his family by the lawyer and management.

As for the top 10 enterprises - Cheung Kong Group, Cheung Kong Industrial Group, Global Group, Wharf Group, Media Group, Audrey Company, Audrey Investment, Uniqlo Enterprises, Shangri-La Hotel Group, Octopus Bank Group.

Nine companies, respectively inherited by Lin Zhichao's seven sons and two daughters, of course, although Uniqlo and Shangri-La Hotel Group may be inherited by two daughters, but the inheritance is definitely less than one-third of the equity, and the third generation of grandchildren will take over their aunt's responsibility; These, as long as Lin Zhichao is alive, he can complete the third-generation shift.

As for the tenth group company, Octopus Bank Group, Lin Zhichao intends to cultivate it from the third generation, but the whole enterprise belongs to the 'family business', and the head is selected based on excellence.

Finally, as for Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, Guan Jiahui, these women and children, they are all just investment assets. In the future, they will be encouraged to start their own businesses, and their parents will give them financial support, or they can manage the assets in their mother's name.

Back in the living room indoors, the women were still chatting, as if intentionally or unintentionally showing a scene of unity. Of course, whether intentionally or not, Lin Zhichao is very satisfied.

Lin Zhichao clapped his hands, and the six girls were attracted one after another, and then he said, "Come here, I'll say a few words to you!" ”

Then the six girls came over with a smile, and everyone invited Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying to both sides of Lin Zhichao, and Audrey was on Tang Caiyun's side. In this way, it is equivalent to Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiyun sitting in the middle, and Xu Caiying and Audrey sitting on both sides.

Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, and Guan Jiahui sat opposite, behaving properly.

Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "Life should be like this, don't have too many ideas, the most important thing is to be happy, and you can make yourself younger!" ”

All the women nodded in agreement!

In fact, everyone is inseparable from Lin Zhichao, and the compromise he made.

"Our family has basically been finalized, and the seven sons and two daughters in front of us have all been cultivated and are about to take over my business, of course, I will always escort them. As for the children in the back, because they are still young, even if they grow up, they will not enter the company founded earlier. However, I will not treat these children badly, I will use investment methods to increase the wealth of the three of you, and when the children grow up, you can support them to start a business, or inherit your own investment company. ”

"So, there is no conflict of interest, although we can interact with each other with confidence."

The six girls have been following Lin Zhichao for a long time, and they know that Lin Zhichao is not talking empty words, he is really good at investment.

Tang Caiyun, as the main house, also said generously: "Since you follow this man, you will depend on him for everything, like he really has an excellent man, and he is qualified to enjoy it." So sisters, all we have to do is be obedient! ”

"Yes, sister!" The five women said in unison.

Lin Zhichao was very satisfied with the generosity of the main house, and then said: "Okay, you make me happy, I make you beautiful until you grow old!" ”

All the women smiled tacitly.

Especially the three daughters of Zhao Linguan, after seeing the faces of their predecessors just now, they were even more sure that Lin Zhichao did not lie to them.

On the same day, two generations of women got together, and at the end of the night, everyone had a good drink and rested on the superyacht for a night.

Of course, Lin Zhichao will not have evil thoughts, after all, the three of them become tigers, and he can only be equal; If it was a team of six, he would have to retreat.

After this meeting, you can find an opportunity to form another team in the future, such as Audrey and Lin Qingxia, two entertainment industry acquaintances and alliances, such as Tang Caiyun and Zhao Yazhi's two 'captains' alliance, such as Xu Caiying and Guan Jiahui's two 'Allure Beauty' alliance.
