In March, Lin Zhichao came to London and signed a memorandum with the local government.

The Jubilee Line, which had been delayed for several years, was finally funded by the British Parliament. It has been three years since the completion of the first phase of Canary Wharf (7 buildings).

In the past three years, Canary Wharf Group has not stopped the project, but it has also swallowed slowly, with an attitude of 'you are not in a hurry, I am not in a hurry'.

Although Canary Wharf has invested up to $4 billion (about 50% of the loans), Cheung Kong Group has deep pockets and has earned nearly $3.5 billion in the UK financial sector.

Therefore, the Canary Wharf Group under the leadership of Cheung Kong Group is completely fighting a protracted war with the British government.

Why do you say that there is a protracted war with the British government?

The reason is simple: the Canary Wharf project is not just a large-scale commercial real estate project, but also part of the UK's financial ambitions; In addition, such a huge 'unfinished project' has a very negative impact on the UK's business environment.

Of course, if it were other companies, they would have been dragged down by the slow action of the United Kingdom!

On the contrary, it is Cheung Kong Group, which has made some money in the financial field in these years by using the Canary Wharf Group.

Canary Wharf.

The Mayor of London, John, led officials to inspect, and Lin Zhichao and the president of the Canary Group, Combeth, entertained them.

Although the British Parliament passed the Jubilee Line branch line, it also slaughtered the Canary Wharf Group, which requires about $500 million in support. After all, in the eyes of the British government, the construction of the Jubilee Line branch line to Canary Wharf is actually making money for the Canary Wharf Group.

Although there are some hooligans, after all, this is the promise of Thatcher's conquest back then, but Lin Zhichao also understands that once a son of heaven and a courtier, he negotiated and agreed last year.

With a three-year delay, construction costs have increased again, and the total investment is expected to be as high as $8.5 billion.

Overseas investment is really troublesome!

Of course, Lin Zhichao did not show all this trouble on his face, but was talking and laughing with the mayor of London.

John smiled and said, "There are already a lot more workers at Canary Wharf, Mr. Lin, President of Combes, are you right?" ”

The implication is that the slow construction in the past few years has affected London's face.

"This year we have stepped up the construction schedule and must complete it one year ahead of the Jubilee Line," Combes said. ”

John was surprised and said, "Really? The Jubilee Line is expected to be completed in 1999, but can it be completed in 1998? ”

Combes said confidently: "No problem! ”

Obviously, Combes is missing some of the city.

Sure enough, John turned around and said to Lin Zhichao with a smile: "Mr. Lin, have you lost confidence in this project in the past few years?" ”

He was joking, but he was squeezing Lin Zhichao's 'little conspiracy' - and the British government.

Lin Zhichao didn't blame Combes for anything, after all, politicians have more thoughts, and Combes is more of a talented architect and real estate manager.

He also generously answered John's question: "No, but the entire European and American economies were not ideal in the past few years, so it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments!" ”

Of the seven repaired skyscrapers in front, only two were rented out in total, and you and I were stupid to build 22 buildings at once?

"Haha, Mr. Lin is worthy of being the best businessman in the world!"

Mayor John's words were recognized by the people around him. To put it bluntly, if the greatest businessmen of the 20th century were to be selected now, Lin Zhichao would definitely be in the top ten. And if it is a world businessman who is still alive, Lin Zhichao must be ranked first.

First of all, Lin Zhichao has become the richest man in the world; Secondly, Lin Zhichao's industry is very diversified and globalized; Finally, Lin Zhichao is a typical self-made man and became famous very early.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said nothing!

Next, John said: "Mr. Lin, this time the UK is through the Jubilee Line, but it is full of sincerity. You know, our traffic in London is already very crowded, and we don't have the funds to solve this problem! ”

The implication is that you're going to have to do a good job with this project!

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "The traffic in London is indeed crowded, but I have a plan, do you want Mayor John to listen to it?" ”

John immediately said, "Of course! I'd love to have someone give me an idea! ”

The foreign devils around them paid attention to it and pricked up their ears to wait for Lin Zhichao's plan.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "The official entry fee has begun, and vehicles entering an 8-mile radius of central London will be charged a fee. It's the first city in the world to implement it, but I believe it's a very simple and effective approach, and if it were implemented in London, it would be a model for that."

This is the 'Nobel Prize' scheme!

Sure enough, the officials present thought that this plan would seem to attract opposition, but in fact it was extremely 'feasible'.

John was the first to react and said, "Mr. Lin, your idea is very good, we will refer to it carefully!" ”

Lin Zhichao smiled and said, "That's good!" Of course, if our Canary Wharf is fully operational, it can also appropriately ease the traffic in London. ”

"Of course"

Canary Wharf may provide a little relief, but London's traffic continues to deteriorate.

After sending off John and other officials, Lin Zhichao held a meeting with Combes and the senior management of the Canary Wharf Group.

"Do you have any suggestions for the cost increase in Canary Wharf?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone made suggestions.

"BOSS, the company's funds can still support 1~2 years, and funds can be raised through listing in the later stage."

"Canary Wharf is already in sight, and I believe that some debtors are willing to convert debt into equity and can operate funds in this way."

Combes seemed to be a roundworm in Lin Zhichao's heart, and stood up at this time and said: "Hong Kong Hengfeng Bank is the largest creditor of Canary Wharf, if the boss is interested, he can convert debt into equity." ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "Hengfeng Bank does not need to convert debt into equity, but it can inject 2 billion US dollars to obtain about 30% of the equity of Canary Wharf Group." After the value of the project increases in the later stage, we will consider the debt-to-equity swap and introduce new shareholders. As for listing, there is no need to rush! ”

The reason why some shareholders were introduced later was because it could increase the weight of the project; What's more, Canary Wharf Group is not unlisted, Lin Zhichao plans to go public in 1999~2000 to raise funds to continue to develop the surrounding land of Canary Wharf; It also relies on the Canary Wharf Group to develop commercial real estate in Europe.

Soon, the Canary Wharf Group's strategy was determined.

The private jet sailed from London to Los Angeles, and Lin Zhichao had a party with Monica Bellucci and Christina on the second floor. In order to get Lin Zhichao's rain and dew, Christina told Monica Bellucci to tie them together and send them to the door regularly.

And Monica Bellucci not only got a real man, but also wealth, and she has naturally become Lin Zhichao's confiner.

Of course, Lin Zhichao didn't want to accept Monica Bellucci, he purely regarded her as his own plaything, so he didn't think about leaving an heir. He already has ten illegitimate children, so he doesn't plan to ask for any more!

Monica was lying in Lin Zhichao's arms, holding a red wine glass in her hand, with a slight drunkenness on her face, immersed in this comfortable environment. She was wearing a skirt with thin black silk wrapped around her legs, and then placed one leg on Lin Zhichao's thigh.

The scene is hot!

Christina, on the other side, also dressed herself as a noblewoman and very sexy, but she didn't come up again. She knew that her temptation was insufficient, so she would naturally spur her hard when Lin Zhichao's interest came after a while.

"Mr. Lin, you're really busy!" Monica licked her red lips and said seductively.

She has a great interest in Lin Zhichao, especially Lin Zhichao's side as a man, which makes her feel that people are really different. It's hard to believe that an 'old man' in his sixties has a more vigorous side than a young man. Of course, Lin Zhichao also has a charm that fascinates Westerners.

As for money or anything, Lin Zhichao didn't pay Monica at all, it was Christina.

Lin Zhichao put one hand on Monica's black silk beautiful legs, feeling the charm of youth, but he was very relaxed. At his age, coupled with being well-informed, this situation is a little caster.

To put it bluntly, it's sophisticated!

Unlike young people who are in a hurry, waiting for the meeting is also in a hurry, so that women can't enjoy much happiness at all.

Of course, Lin Zhichao actually looks less than forty years old, very young, so he doesn't have the greasy appearance of an old man, but has the charm of a mature, elegant and gentleman.

Lin Zhichao said casually: "Yes, I'm so busy, after all, I have to take care of the two of you at one time!" ”

Monica's face flushed, even if she was naturally charming, she couldn't stand the movements and words of the 'old man', and she still had a young appearance. But she quickly said, "I'm talking about work, and of course, I know that you're usually a merry man." ”

Lin Zhichao smiled: "You are wrong, I am a very dedicated man!" ”

Monica immediately said, "I won't believe it!" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "You should believe me, because I have always liked 20-year-old girls, and I have never changed!" ”

"Haha. So that's it! Aren't you worried that Miss Tina will get angry? Monica was curious.

As far as she knows, Christina gave birth to two children for Lin Zhichao, which is of course understandable - because she also thinks that Lin Zhichao is very charming, and there is no problem in being his lover. But the problem is that Christina's lover has done a little wronged, and she is also a European 'female ship king', so she won't have such a low status!

Lin Zhichao said: "Tina is also 20 years old, not to mention that she looks young now!" ”

Christina on the side, immediately send a fragrant kiss!

When she and Lin Zhichao were married, they were only more than 23 years old, although they had a failed marriage, they were indeed young. In the past, Lin Zhichao didn't take her seriously, and it was enough to meet three or four times a year.

But as Christina's ability manifested, she was recognized by Lin Zhichao through self-improvement, mastering the Onassis family's wealth and carrying it forward, and the two sides formed a business alliance.

Lin Zhichao intends to form a 'family office' alliance of the 'Lin Zhichao family', the 'Hepburn family (Lin branch)', and the 'Onassis family (Lin branch)'.

Although the members of the Hepburn family are all in the Lin family office, after all, it is the Hepburn family on the surface; Moreover, Audrey Hepburn intends to incorporate some of her wealth into the Hepburn family office.

"Mr. Lin, you are really good at coaxing women!"

"Haha"

Then, Christina stood up, then pulled up Monica, and the two began to dance in front of Lin Zhichao, and interacted with each other from time to time, and suddenly the room heated up a lot.

Although Christina is also 44 years old, she is also stained with Lin Zhichao's light, and she is more than ten years younger, and she is still young.

Of course, the most glamorous is Monica, who is wearing a low-cut pink skirt at this time, outlining a hot body; Black stockings wrap around the long legs, tempting.

In addition, at this time, the two women had already gone mad, and they actually tore each other apart, and the scene ignited again.

But.

For Lin Zhichao, it is still a small scene, and he has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he easily reveal his original form.

In the end, he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and came to the middle of the dance floor to join everyone.

In an office building in Los Angeles, Lin Zhichao sat in his office and listened to Zou Kaixuan's work report.

In September last year, the project on Chang'an Street in Beijing was aborted, not because there were no investors in Hong Kong, but because Zou Kaixuan made the biggest decision in her life - to give up the project in Beijing and follow Lin Zhichao.

Of course, Zou Kaixuan also thought that the total investment of the Chang'an Street project in Beijing needs 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and few Hong Kong tycoons may not be willing to believe her; Especially after Lin Zhichao gave up, the Dong family also chose to give up, Dong Jianhua thought that Lin Zhichao was not optimistic, so the prospects for this project were really not good.

"Jingwei Capital has won 80% of the shares of Blizzard at a price of $1 million, and the two founders said that as long as they support their R&D work, we can recruit the president in the future, but it must be an American with rich management experience." Zou Kaixuan said resolutely.

She has been in the United States for half a year, and the acquisition project is only Blizzard, which is still hand-picked by the boss.

Lin Zhichao nodded with satisfaction, Blizzard released "Warcraft: Humans and Orcs" in January this year, and it has more than a dozen employees.

"Well, Blizzard doesn't need a president yet, don't worry about it for the time being!"

Lin Zhichao thought that in a few years, the introduction of Atari would be; Later, he sold his equity to Atari.

Atari is the parent company of Sega, and is currently a comprehensive enterprise of game software, program production, and entertainment planning, and is a subsidiary of Audrey Corporation.

Next, Lin Zhichao said: "Next, you must continue to study, especially pay attention to the development of the Internet in the United States, and seek investment opportunities!" ”

Zou Kaixuan asked curiously: "Can the Internet really make money?" ”

In 1992, the Internet Society was established, and Hong Kong was connected to NSFNET in 1991.

But it is true that no one has ever said that you can make money on the Internet.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Fresh things must be the most profitable." ”

He thought about entrusting the matter of investing in the Internet to Zou Kaixuan, and Lin Zhichao reminded him a little. Whether or not you can invest depends on Zou Kaixuan's ability.

In this way, in the future, everyone will only say that Zou Kaixuan is a good helper of Lin Zhichao, and introduce Lin Zhichao, a wealthy man, to invest in the Internet. No, Lin Zhichao is regarded as an all-round person, of course, some Internet projects can even be introduced to Lin Zhichao's sons to invest and disperse their influence.

Zou Kaixuan became confident this time, and she felt the charm of a 'legendary businessman' from Lin Zhichao.

"Well, I won't let you down!"

Lin Zhichao appreciated it, this woman does have a way of doing things, and he has always cherished talents very much! (End of chapter)
