Lin Zhichao took a private jet and went to Tokyo on official business, but he was accompanied by two beautiful maids - Lin Xia and Guan Hui.

He sat on the sofa, reading a book in his hand, and the two beautiful maids sometimes sent wine, sometimes snacks, and sometimes secretly sent autumn waves.

Lin Zhichao took a sip of red wine, and then said self-disciplinedly: "Drink less wine, you have to work in the afternoon!" ”

Lin Xia smiled: "Don't you often say that you are going to retire?" ”

Lin Zhichao put down the book, glanced at the two women, and said: "People who often talk about retirement are basically difficult to retire, and the same is true for me." But I'm also a conductor now, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't even drink a sip of wine during my work. ”

Lin Xia said adoringly: "Then the people you command, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people, right?" ”

What she means is that Lin Zhichao's companies have tens of thousands of people.

Lin Zhichao said: "I don't need to command so many people, there are about three or four hundred people around me, and I will directly command them." And they need to command seventy or eighty thousand people. ”

The two women's eyes suddenly lit up, looking at such a young man - 55 years old, 35 years old, 30 years old.

Lin Zhichao said with great enjoyment: "After you arrive in Tokyo, someone will take you to the hotel, arrange a female assistant and driver, and you can choose to shop and rest by yourself." I'm going to have dinner with my colleagues tonight, and tomorrow I'm going to play golf and talk about business with Japanese real estate tycoon Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, and if I can find time, I'll take you for a day on the streets of Tokyo. ”

After all, investing in Japanese real estate and the stock market is a big business, and Lin Zhichao also needs to meet many people in person.

As for bringing Lin Xia and Guan Hui, Lin Zhichao was purely selfish, of course the two women didn't think it, they thought it was also a pleasant trip.

"OK, you're doing big things, of course, it's the most important!"

"Then my sister and I will go shopping!"

If you are rich, how can you be bored, and the two girls don't particularly care. As long as Lin Zhichao took out a day and played with the two for a day, he was already very satisfied.

Lin Zhichao was satisfied with his arms around the waists of the two daughters and enjoyed the days like emperors. In ancient times, when Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he naturally brought concubines, and of course he also took in daughters on the way.

He didn't want to accept women at will, so he took two concubines with him and relieved his fatigue on the way.

As for not taking Zhao Yazhi, it was because Lin Xia handed over her son to her care, and she took care of her three children at home. Sometimes, as the boss, you also have to pay, and of course, you will take turns to do this kind of thing in the future.

"Husband, I remember that the plane will fly for 3.5 hours!" Guan Hui said charmingly.

It's not that she's lustful, but Lin Zhichao has already held her waist and played with it wantonly.

"Don't worry, we can still take a shower before landing!" Lin Zhichao opened his bow left and right, and said with enjoyment.

It's rare to be on the plane, so naturally you have to have a good time, not to mention, today is the combination of Lin Xia and Guan Hui, which is also worth looking forward to.

1 p.m.

Mr. Lin walked to a building in Ginza, an eight-story building recently purchased by Cheung Kong Asset Group and Harbour Investment, a joint venture between Cheung Kong Asset Group and Harbour Investment, for more than US$300 million.

For this investment in the Japanese real estate industry, Lin Zhichao asked Cheung Kong Group to come up with 200 million US dollars and Victoria Harbour Investment to form a joint company to complete it.

Although it only has a capital of 500 million US dollars, Lin Zhichao plans to continue to develop through loans and individual project financing. In other words, if Harbour Investment needs to increase its investment in Japanese real estate, it only needs to enter the financing of each real estate project of the joint venture.

In this way, Victoria Harbour investment can be low-key, and Cheung Kong Group is in the front. The main investment model of Victoria Harbour Investment is to invest $2 billion in the Japanese stock market.

"Boss"

The subordinates have been greeted at the door, including the management of the combined real estate company - Dongtian Company, of which Huo Jianning is the president, and a vice president is a senior executive from Cheung Kong Group, named Li Qingshan, and there is also a Japanese vice president, named Kazuya Murakami, who is a professional real estate development talent.

In the entire management, the Japanese management is the mainstay, and Cheung Kong Group only sends a few capable cadres, which is called 'fighting ghosts with ghosts'.

"Well, next time I won't have to greet you at the door, I'll already be able to find here!"

"Yes, boss!"

Afterwards, everyone walked upstairs. The unit price of this eight-storey building is 6~7 times that of Central. In the future, the value of the yen doubled, and the value of the property more than tripled, and it will reach more than $2 billion in 1990.

In the past life, there is a reason why Japan's properties and stocks have grown wildly, and one of the reasons that cannot be ignored is that overseas funds are frantically pouring into Japan, because everyone knows that the yen is appreciating, so they would rather deposit money in the yen account of the Bank of Japan. The Bank of Japan has a large amount of deposits in its hands, so it frantically encourages customers to take out loans to buy land, buy houses and buy properties.

Even Lin Zhichao, before September 1985, would have participated in the investment of yen foreign exchange. This is equivalent to Lin Zhichao can make money from three aspects: real estate, stock market, and foreign exchange.

Although the building has only eight floors, the two basement floors and the five floors above ground are leased to merchants, which is a retail business, so only the top three floors are office buildings. The total area is less than 150,000 square feet, which is only a medium-sized building in Hong Kong.

Victoria Harbour Investment has also moved into the office building of this building, and Lin Zhichao will go alone later.

After visiting the office building, Lin Zhichao and a group of high-level executives came to the conference room.

"Tell me about the progress of the work!" Lin Zhichao held the meeting in English.

There are several Japanese executives who can speak English, so let's use a language that everyone understands!

In fact, Dongtian Company was established last year and has been in Japan for a year.

Kazuya Murakami said: "At present, Kanagawa Prefecture and Chiba Prefecture already have suitable land, as the choice of Raffles City throughout the seventies, a total of 500 shopping malls were born in Japan, of course, the scale is not large, and these two sites are considered super large shopping centers, and the land cost alone is estimated to be about 1.2 billion US dollars."

These two prefectures are both economically strong areas in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the investment value is very good.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Well, I'll take a look later!" Tomorrow I will have a round of golf with Mr. Yoshiaki Tsumi of the local real estate company, and if we can talk about it, we will invite him to work together on these two projects. ”

If these two projects are good, they will be developed directly, and they can be developed in 5~6 years.

Before 1986, commercial land was taken casually, and there were reasons to take it. There are two types of general development models, one is the 'Raffles City' model and the other is the integrated commercial building model. Of course, there is also the option of buying the building outright.

Several management leaders have expressed their joy, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is a Japanese real estate tycoon, and if the two real estate tycoons from Hong Kong and Japan cooperate this time, it will only increase the weight of 'Raffles City'.

The next day, under the introduction of friends in the Japanese banking industry, Lin Zhichao and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the first brother in the Japanese real estate industry, met at a golf course in Tokyo.

"Mr. Lin, it is an honor to meet for the first time!" Tsui Yoshiaki bowed his waist very modestly and said seriously.

If Lin Zhichao is just a 'real estate developer', there is no need to be so modest, but Lin Zhichao is the king of the world, and his international influence is much higher than him.

Of course, Lin Zhichao also said very modestly: "Mr. Tsui Yoshiming, I am also honored to meet you!" ”

"Mr. Lin bought nine office buildings in Manhattan in the late 70s, and you were my idol at that time, and you were the first businessman in Asia to win a landmark building in Manhattan. And as far as I know, you've made a six-fold profit, making a name for yourself in the U.S. real estate world. ”

Lin Zhichao replied: "You won the award, I was just thinking about reducing the ship to go ashore, so I invested in that project very casually." ”

Di Yiming did not doubt it, after all, he also knew that Lin Zhichao, the king of ships, had successfully landed, and the two Japanese shipping companies he cooperated with, one went bankrupt and the other was on the verge of bankruptcy and asset restructuring after bankruptcy, which was a proper means.

Subsequently, the two first sat together and drank tea, and Lin Zhichao did not directly discuss the cooperation, after all, there will be a golf game later.

Japanese businessmen like to play golf more than Hong Kong businessmen, and of course, Hong Kong's wealthy people also like to play, and even organize flights to the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia to play golf.

"I heard that Mr. Hayashi plans to invest in the real estate business in Japan?"

"That's right, we started preparing last year!"

Yoshiaki Tsumi said happily: "Welcome, Mr. Lam is the largest real estate developer in Hong Kong and the first real estate developer in Asia to invest in a shopping mall (Miramar). ”

Lin Zhichao said: "Don't dare to be, in the Japanese real estate industry, you are the leader, so this time I came to visit you, I also hope to learn from you, if you can cooperate, it will be better!" ”

Di Yiming said happily: "Learn from each other, I also have a lot of real estate-related things, I want to ask you for advice!" ”

In this way, the two exchanged real estate experience.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi specializes in developing suburban land into 'comprehensive developments' such as golf courses, ski resorts, and prince hotels, and at present, shopping malls in Japan are placing great emphasis on development near train stations.

Later, while playing golf, Lin Zhichao said: "After talking with Mr. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi for so long, I think our concept of real estate is quite similar, and we are both more willing to develop comprehensive commercial centers in the suburbs. In fact, we found two plots of land in Kanagawa Prefecture and Chiba Prefecture, and we plan to develop 'Raffles City', and the idea of this kind of comprehensive shopping center is to use it as a commercial center to bring the surrounding businesses together."

Raffles City, the city's commercial heart – that's the slogan!

Yoshiaki Tsumi listened very carefully and did not forget to swing, and the two unknowingly exchanged a lot about Raffles City.

Later, before Lin Zhichao took the initiative to talk about cooperation, Di Yiming said: "Mr. Lin, I am very interested in your two projects, I don't know if I can cooperate with you, and it can be regarded as learning?" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Of course, having you, a Japanese real estate tycoon, join, makes me more confident." Later, I will leave you a rough plan for the project, and if Mr. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is interested, we can cooperate further! ”

It's just a rough plan, and it doesn't hurt to give it to Yoshiaki Tsumi.

The specific plan of Raffles City has been extended to many details, which is a new shopping mall built by Lin Zhichao based on years of experience and some references from his previous life over the years.

Miramar Mall is only version 1.0, and Raffles City Singapore is version 2.0.

The two Raffles City Plazas invested in Japan will be version 3.0.

With each version of the advancement, there is definitely something new.

At this time, Japanese shopping malls are still American-style shopping malls, and Raffles City 3.0 version has something new.

"No problem!"

After that, the two continued to talk happily and had lunch together, laying a happy foundation for the cooperation between the two sides.

Lin Zhichao attaches great importance to the first two Raffles City Plazas, which are like two signboards, which have a name for subsequent investment in Japan.

Of course, the land acquisition must have been before 1987, after which the land acquisition will be stopped.

As for the amount of development, it depends on the time, and it is expected that three or four will be developed, and the land can be sold in the future.

In addition to Raffles City, there is also an investment in commercial complexes, which can be built on land or directly purchased buildings.

In the following days, Lin Zhichao was so full of arrangements that he went to Chiba Prefecture and Kanagawa Prefecture for field trips, and was quite satisfied with both plots of land. One of the two plots was originally a factory, and the other was deliberately put up for auction by the government.

Of course, there are certainly some troubles with these lands, but none of them are big problems!

What's more, if you take 10,000 steps back, if you can't do it, you will make a lot of money even if you sell the land. What's more, if Di Yiming, the head snake, joins in, it can also save a lot of trouble.

After inspecting the land matters, Lin Zhichao made an appointment with several friends in the banking industry, all of whom were friends made during the shipping period. Hearing that Lin Zhichao was going to invest heavily in Japan's real estate industry, these friends in the banking industry were also very happy and agreed to give convenience.

In this way, Lin Zhichao is equivalent to creating good external conditions for Dongtian Company, and the rest is the management headed by Huo Jianning.

At the same time, Victoria Harbour Investment invested $2 billion to buy Japanese stocks, which also began to be carried out simultaneously. The main thing is to buy real estate stocks, because at its peak, five of the world's top ten market capitalization companies were Japanese companies. In Japan, there are seven real estate companies in the top 10 by market capitalization.

The Japanese stock market will rise 3~4 times in this wave, which is simply one of the best investment methods for Harbour Investment.

In this wave, Lin Zhichao plans to let Victoria Harbour Investment invest 5 billion US dollars in Japan, which will flow into the stock market, real estate, and yen foreign exchange respectively, and make him 10 billion US dollars or 20 billion US dollars.

This is not only the investment of Victoria Harbour, but also the Cheung Kong Industrial Group, and even the three women are ready to come to Japan to fight the autumn breeze.

And the Japanese market is big enough that you don't have to worry about causing a sensation. At its peak, the Japanese stock market was $4 trillion, 1.5 times that of the United States.
