Chapter 507 [Domineering Speech]
The superyacht "Rising Sun" is like a warship, docked in the waters south of Hong Kong, Lin Zhichao is lying on the deck chair, resting comfortably.
On the superyacht, there are also Wu Guofang, Li Jiaming, and Li Jiaxin, mother and daughter, as if 'Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden', curious about everything on this yacht.
asked the waiter to take the three girls to visit, but Lin Zhichao didn't bother to pay attention to it.
His method of soaking Li Jiaxin is very simple, that is, to increase the world for them first, but not to give benefits, this is called slippery fish; When the slip is almost over, the fish will naturally take the bait, so there is no need to worry about it.
This method is more vulgar, like some rich people in the bar in the previous life - you can eat me and drink mine, but you just don't want to take advantage of it. Then eating and drinking are all in the stomach, which means that there is still nothing to catch, and the woman must not come up obediently, just like a cat smells fishy.
"Miss, are all the red wine that can be drunk in this wine cabinet?" Inside the yacht, Wu Guofang and his two daughters paused in front of a wine cabinet and asked curiously.
"Of course, if Miss Wu likes which one, just take it, and I'll give you a drink! Lin Sheng explained, you are the honored guests on the ship today, you are welcome. The waitress said politely.
For the romance of the male host, Mr. Lin Zhichao, they naturally know very well as the waiters around them, and the most exaggerated thing is to take three genuine ladies and three lovers on the boat for vacation.
Of course, they have undergone rigorous training and have signed a confidentiality agreement for the things on board, and they may face huge compensation if they reveal it.
Wu Guofang casually took out a bottle of red wine and asked, "What about this bottle?" Is it expensive? ”
She couldn't help but be curious, and asked the last sentence.
The waiter took the red wine and said, "This bottle is a relatively mid-range red wine, it is Lafite in 1982, but this year's vintage is very good, and it is currently worth thousands of mosquitoes." There's Rome Nikondi in 1966."
The three girls secretly smacked their tongues and pretended to be calm, which made the waiters a little funny in their hearts.
But soon the waiter couldn't laugh, and she remembered one thing - no one on the ship wanted to go to Lin Sheng's bed, but no one had succeeded, not to mention that there was a clear rule that if anyone dared to openly seduce Lin Sheng, they would lose their jobs. But even so, everyone hopes that Lin Sheng will take a fancy to himself, so that the sparrow will become a phoenix. But now, Lin Sheng invited these three women to play on the boat, obviously taking a fancy to this smaller girl, what qualifications do they, waiters, have to laugh at others?
As far as they know, Lin Sheng is not the kind of man who is particularly abusive and amorous, but not indecent, as long as the girl really gets on Lin Sheng's boat, it is equivalent to a long-term ticket, and it will be lost if it is not playful.
Wu Guofang and the other three women were not in the mood to care about the waiter's thoughts, so they asked for a bottle of red wine worth tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and then walked towards the host.
"Lin Sheng, you are usually very busy at work, you must rarely have such a comfortable rest, right?" Wu Guofang greeted her two daughters.
Lin Zhichao looked at the sea in the distance and said lightly: "I'm not busy, I'm semi-retired now, and I hope to enjoy life more!" The company's affairs, I just need to grasp the general direction! ”
Wu Guofang said complimentingly: "That's really amazing, so that the company can often get big development and big news!" ”
Lin Zhichao smiled: "Haha. It's all my colleagues working hard, as the saying goes, there are three gangs of a hero, and I now have 300 gangs of heroes, so it's naturally a lot easier. By the way, you don't have to worry about me, just play as you like, and if you have any questions, just call the waiter. After all, you will be restrained when you stay together, won't you? ”
He turned sideways and looked with interest at the three women, who were dressed up very freshly and purposely.
In Li Jiaxin's opinion, Lin Zhichao was completely approachable at this time, and he didn't put any pressure on them.
Li Jiaxin reacted the fastest and said, "No! Lin Sheng, you are so humorous, not at all like the richest man on TV. ”
Lin Zhichao laughed and said: "That's good, otherwise it's really hard for me to socialize with new friends!" ”
Seeing this, Wu Guofang said, "That Jiaxin, you accompany Lin Sheng to talk, and Jiaming and I will go around again!" ”
Li Jiaxin said eagerly: "Hmm"
Immediately, only Li Jiaxin was left on the deck, and Lin Zhichao also sat up and chatted with her.
After chatting for a while, Li Jiaxin said: "Lin Sheng, your skin is really good, and it is also very healthy, people can't believe that you have been in the mall for more than 30 years!" ”
Lin Zhichao was surprised, this woman is quite good at talking!
However, it may be due to her identity, the richest people she came into contact with in her previous life were second-rate rich people such as Liu Luanxiong and Xu Jinheng, and the rich second generation, plus she was already a Hong Kong sister at that time, so she was more or less confident. Today's Lin Zhichao is the king of Hong Kong, the richest Chinese in the world, and actually the richest man in the world.
He jokingly said, "Is it really that good?" Do you want to take a closer look, don't be deceived! ”
Li Jiaxin's face flushed, but she still approached curiously, after all, he is a 57-year-old man, can he really be so young?
After looking closely, she found that Lin Zhichao had almost no wrinkles on his body, his skin was firm, and he knew that it contained power just by looking at it; Li Jiaxin suddenly couldn't help but tap on Lin Zhichao's arm, and she couldn't help blushing first.
Lin Zhichao smiled: "It's okay! It's understandable for girls to love beauty. But you're so young, you don't have any of these worries! ”
Li Jiaxin quickly returned to her position and said, "Why not!" Every day I want to look good, and I check my outfit for flaws."
She seems to open her heart and tell the concepts she has been exposed to since childhood, as if she is also showing off that she is not an ordinary poor child, but a girl with pursuits.
Lin Zhichao said, and his young thoughts also hit his hopeful young heart.
However, he didn't throw out the bait, a girl like Li Jiaxin must be concocted well, although Lin Zhichao is very confident, it is impossible for any girl to make a big wave in front of him.
What's more, Li Jiaxin's character is not as 'bad' as in her previous life, and she is very malleable.
On the same day, Lin Zhichao was very gentlemanly to entertain Li Jiaxin's three daughters, and finally sent someone to send them home.
The three girls came empty-handed, and naturally they went home empty-handed, after all, everything on the ship needed their meeting.
After returning to the small 'slum house', Wu Guofang said: "Good daughter, Lin Sheng has taken a fancy to you, not to recognize you as his goddaughter!" What to do? ”
She is reluctant to get the wealth at her fingertips, but she can't get her daughter to commit to a man older than her.
Li Jiaxin blushed and said, "What's the matter, Lin Sheng just admires me very much, so I don't want to be his goddaughter!" ”
Wu Guofang just sighed and said, "Next time we meet, I have to be there!" ”
"Oh"
At this time, Li Jiaming said: "It would be great if I lived in a big house when I lived!" My goodness, I'm afraid our consumption on the ship today will be hundreds of thousands! ”
Li Jiaxin immediately said: "If that ship is to start, it will cost hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars."
The two daughters joined the discussion one after another, Wu Guofang suddenly had no choice, she walked in with her daughter at this step, and now she regrets it. After all, after such a beautiful day today, who wants to live such a day in the future.
Lin Zhichao and his eldest son Lin Ruihuan came to the family office, and met with CEO Charles Fleming and head of investment and wealth management John Smith, and listened to their work reports.
Lin Zhichao's family office, he injected a total of 500 million US dollars, and now it is a wealth of more than 2 billion US dollars, maintaining a wealth appreciation of about 20% every year. The main investment history includes investment in oil and related stocks in the late 70s, car stocks in the early 80s, and mainly in newly listed companies in the United States (Apple, Nike, KFC, Home Depot, Best Buy, etc.) to participate in the UK stock market.
On the contrary, Harbour Investment is more keen to invest in the 'Beautiful 50', and of course will also invest in some potential stocks that Lin Zhichao is familiar with to enjoy high annual dividends and make long-term investments, and at the same time, in recent years, it has invested in a large number of Japanese stocks, Japanese real estate, Hong Kong stock market and real estate investment.
"What about the foreign exchange situation of USDJPY?" Lin Zhichao asked.
John immediately said: "It has now doubled its profit, about $50 million, and its net worth is $1.05 billion!" ”
Lin Zhichao nodded with satisfaction, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the yen at the beginning of the year was 262 points, and he immediately arranged for Victoria Harbour Investment and the family office to take out 50 million US dollars each to enter the foreign exchange speculation with 10 times leverage.
Today, the USD/JPY exchange rate fluctuates around 249 points, so it is very profitable.
Of course, what Lin Zhichao really looks at is entering the market in early September, and then adding an additional $100 million each, and the same 20 times leverage. In this way, he entered the market equivalent to 300 million US dollars, and the amount of capital leveraged was 6 billion US dollars.
In addition to foreign exchange, at the end of the year, Victoria Harbour Investment and family offices also had to short oil futures, after all, from $30 per barrel to $10 per barrel, the profit in the middle was enough to make a lot of money.
Lin Zhichao is now a first-hand financial and a first-hand industry, earning a lot of wealth, after all, there will be no such good opportunities in the future!
"Before the end of August, you will sell some British and American stocks to prepare $200 million in cash flow, and then I will continue to speculate on foreign exchange against the yen!"
Only $100 million is used, and the other 100 million is temporarily used as 'margin', which can be replenished at any time. Once the yen appreciates by about 10%, this money can be dispensed with, because it has stabilized, and it can be invested in additional principal.
Charles immediately said: "Boss, it is better to invest as steadily as possible in the investment of the family office. The U.S. stocks and U.K. stocks you direct to invest in are stocks with great development potential, but the US dollar and Japanese yen foreign exchange are very risky, especially if you want to use leveraged investment. ”
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "That's why I just take out about 10% of my total assets to invest, so that for my investment level, it is not a risk." What's more, I am firmly optimistic about the appreciation of the yen, you can rest assured! ”
In a family office, the investment team cannot invest in high-risk projects, but Lin Zhichao can.
Charles stopped talking, after all, this boss is very good at investing, 90% of the investment in the family office is under his personal command, and the remaining 10% is the 'free investment' of the investment department, but the rate of return is of course much higher than the boss's part.
After discussing the details, Charles and John left first.
Lin Zhichao then sighed to his eldest son Lin Ruihuan: "My approach is based on my sufficient confidence, although it seems to everyone to be a wrong and risky investment, but I don't think so." But in any case, this kind of investment is essentially 'wrong', so I keep telling you, don't invest in risky projects, after the 90s, I also plan to stop, you can give me a witness. ”
Lin Ruihuan said: "Actually, my father's self-confidence is very contagious, which makes us all think that we have a chance to win. But as my father said, these are indeed high-risk investments, and it is right to invest less and not to invest. ”
He has always insisted on investing in industry, and he even thinks that Cheung Kong Group should not invest in financial products.
Lin Zhichao nodded, pretending to listen to his son.
In fact, after the 90s, of course, he would invest in high-risk products such as foreign exchange and futures, but he intended to create wealth for his illegitimate children.
Anyway, as long as he remembers, he will take a kick.
Lin Zhichao's companies have invested heavily in Japan, and they were soon reported and commented on by the media. He himself has frequently appeared in the Japanese news media, meeting with Japanese officials and high-level business leaders.
All kinds of actions have caused uneasiness in Hong Kong's business circles, thinking that Lin Zhichao will not also learn from Jardine Matheson - make money in Hong Kong and invest overseas.
In view of this kind of public opinion, Lin Zhichao explained public opinion at a press conference.
"Investing in Japan is only because the yen has the potential to appreciate, Japan's political and economic stability Hong Kong's territory is too small, for the rights and interests of all shareholders, the only way to lead the company to expand investment channels. In the future, overseas investment will generally account for more than 10% of the investment in its subordinate enterprises, and the highest will not exceed 30% and a half."
"Cheung Kong Group has a precedent of successful overseas investment, and now the industry investing in Japan is mainly commercial real estate, and I believe that the rate of return is better than the income."
A reporter immediately asked, "Mr. Lin, you always say that Hong Kong is too small, and this is the fundamental reason why you choose to invest overseas?" Isn't it? ”
Many reporters burst into laughter, this reporter's question is a bit offensive, Hong Kong is too small, but it contributes to the vast majority of Cheung Kong's profits.
Everyone was waiting for Lin Zhichao's answer.
Lin Zhichao also said with a smile: "I said that Hong Kong is too small, not an exaggeration!" As far as the Cheung Kong Group is concerned, in 1983, when everyone was in difficulty, Cheung Kong Group had 1.5 billion US dollars, that is, tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and the debt ratio was extremely low. We were able to convert these funds into investments in Hong Kong in a timely manner, and now that the property has recovered, these assets have appreciated again. We don't even have a debt ratio of 10% now, but what about investment projects in Hong Kong? Some time ago, our private consortium proposed a new airport plan of 25 billion yuan, which was rejected by the Hong Kong government, and now we really can't find enough projects in Hong Kong. ”
There was an uproar at the scene!
In 1983, when everyone else was going bankrupt and on the verge of bankruptcy, Cheung Kong today has a cash flow of 10 billion yuan, which is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
Mr Lam added, "So, our confidence in Hong Kong is definitely the strongest. However, we have to consider the shareholders, and the appreciation of corporate assets and the sharp rise of stocks are the most important things that we entrepreneurs should consider. Here, I would like to once again promote our long-term investment in our stocks, which will definitely allow investors to reap a generous pension. ”
"Haha," the reporters laughed.
In fact, Lin Zhichao also made a fortune in leeks in 1981, raising 2 billion yuan at that time, and soon after, the market value of Cheung Kong Group fell to 16.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, a decline of 25%. Of course, this is something that other companies in Hong Kong look up to.
At that time, Cheung Kong Group claimed to have 100% cash flow, and even if the stock fell again, where could it fall.
Since September last year, the market value of Cheung Kong Group has increased by nearly 60%, and it is now approaching 28 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The next day, Lin Zhichao's domineering remarks quickly spread throughout Hong Kong and even overseas.
Cheung Kong's large-scale investment in Japan has also attracted the attention of many Hong Kong investors, so the inflow of funds into Japan has increased.
Cheung Kong invested in Japan in the form of commercial real estate, and did not invest in financial products such as the stock market.
"Lin Sheng is domineering! It's not that I don't want to invest in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong is too small, and I accept this remark! The market value of Cheung Kong is the sum of several real estate companies, if they all invest in Hong Kong, I am afraid that there will be no room for other real estate companies to survive. ”
"That's right, if you don't invest overseas, you can't develop at all! I just don't know, is investing in Japan the right channel? ”
"Don't worry about this, Lin Zhichao has the reputation of 'God of Investment', when has he lost money in investment?"
"Makes sense!"
Soon, public opinion reversed!
It became 'not that Cheung Kong was unwilling to invest in Hong Kong, but that the big projects had been almost invested, and they had to give friends a drink of soup, so they could only invest overseas', and for a while, Cheung Kong Group's stock continued to rise, rushing towards a market value of 28 billion.
Even with Lin Zhichao's other companies, the stocks began to rise, making many shareholders chase these stocks.
