In mid-September, the ownership of Container Terminal 9, which had been delayed for four years, was announced - Hutchison International Container became the big winner again, in addition to one berth at Container Terminal 9 (a total of 4 berths), and an additional feeder berth, and the Hong Kong government granted a 2.79-hectare land north of Container Terminal 9 for the development of commercial buildings.

As a result, the company will add 1.2 million TEUs per year, bringing the company's throughput to 8 million TEUs.

The other three berths at Container Terminal 9 were acquired by Sun Hung Kai and Jardine Matheson consortium 'Asia Containers'.

At this point, the ownership of the Kwai Chung Container Terminal in Hong Kong is complete:

Hutchison's International Container Terminals occupy about 70% of the share;

Modern Containers (New World Development, Wharf, China Merchants, Swire, etc.) accounted for 20%;

The remaining 10% will belong to 'Global Land and Sea Container Terminals', 'Asia Containers',

Hong Kong's container terminal, the cake is over!

"Dad"

Lin Ruihuan came to his father's office and greeted respectfully.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "At the latest, Hong Kong's economic bubble will burst, and we have to make some preparations." ”

This is what he has always said, that is, the bubble in Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and other regions, just like Japan back then. These are all predictable, but a huge number of people don't know about it in the game.

Lin Ruihuan said: "I will arrange immediately: first, we need to sell as much residential space as possible; Secondly, we also plan to release the shopping malls of several large housing estates; Eventually, the shares had to be sold. ”

Lin Zhichao said: "Well, large housing estates and stocks can be gradually emptied in the first half of next year. There are also some luxury residences, sell everything that can be sold, this time the trough may be very long, and it will take a lot of money to buy the bottom at that time. ”

Lin Ruihuan said seriously: "I understand what my dad meant!" ”

This year (1996), Hong Kong's housing prices are skyrocketing, luxury homes rose to more than 15,000 yuan per square foot, and the highest transaction record was 20 million square feet.

Driven by luxury houses, the price of small and medium-sized houses in Hong Kong and Kowloon is also as high as about 6,000 Hong Kong dollars, and it continues to rise. In terms of office buildings, it has become the most expensive place in the world, surpassing New York and Tokyo.

Lin Zhichao plans to take advantage of the year to sell some non-core assets and have as much cash as possible for follow-up dipping and the development of overseas assets.

At this time, the Hong Kong stock market has also climbed to about 13,000 points, and it is time to sell off the stocks invested by individuals in the first half of next year.

It was the spring of 1997.

At the beginning of the year, Lin Zhichao, chairman of Cheung Kong Group, stepped down as chairman of the board of directors of Cheung Kong Group and Hutchison Whampoa, and retired completely.

Up to now, Lin Zhichao's five sons have all been in full control of the five group companies, the eldest daughter Lin Wanzhu is the president of Uniqlo Enterprises, the younger sister Lin Xiner is the president of Shangri-La Hotel Group, and the youngest daughter is the vice president of Shangri-La Hotel.

In addition, his brother-in-law Lin Benfeng serves as the president of Octopus Group.

For a time, Lin Zhichao basically resigned from all his positions and really retired!

Among all the big families in Hong Kong, especially among the four major families, the people who have truly completed their retirement. Including Cheng Yutong, who is only 'semi-retired' and has not handed over the post of chairman of the board.

The reason why this is the case, Lin Zhichao is also very confident, even if he retreats into the background, these children not only have enough leadership themselves, but they will also follow Lin Zhichao's advice in the future.

At the financial report meeting of Cheung Kong Group, Lin Ruihuan reported to the media: "In the past year (1996), Cheung Kong Group received 30.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, including a non-recurring profit, that is, 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars obtained from the spin-off of Cheung Kong Infrastructure. The Group has decided to pay a dividend of HK$1.52 per share, involving HK$4.1 billion.

Reporters were incredulous that Cheung Kong Group's profit was more than twice that of Henderson Land (13.5 billion), and Sun Hung Kai was only a little over 16 billion.

is also a Hong Kong real estate company, how much higher is the profit of Cheung Kong Group?

The answer is: integrated development, a global enterprise.

"Mr. Lin, has the sale of two shopping malls by Cheung Kong Group been counted?"

"No, it should be considered a profit for this year (1997), so it is not calculated!"

At this time, a reporter asked: "What is Mr. Lin Zhichao doing now?" Are you busy with personal investments? Will you still be involved in some of the work of Cheung Kong or the Nine Warehouse system? ”

The reporters have concentrated their minds, after all, Lin Zhichao's influence is too great!

Lin Ruihuan said with a smile: "He has retired and is not so busy!" As for the work of Cheung Kong or Kyukura, he will not be involved, and even if he has suggestions, he will only talk to our brothers at home. ”

"Will you listen?"

"If he suggested you invest, would you listen?"

"Yes"

"So, why don't we, as his sons, listen?"

"Haha"

Many reporters are still very concerned about Lin Zhichao after retirement, after all, it is the first year.

In the waters of Hong Kong, on a superyacht, Lin Zhichao is on vacation with Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, Guan Jiahui, and Li Jiaxin.

He chose to fully retire this year because he believed that his sons would still listen to him and that their abilities were very good, so he was relieved.

And he also needs more time to enjoy life.

At this time, Lin Zhichao was sitting on the deck fishing, and his mood was very relaxed.

In the past few years, he has not messed with flowers and grass, for example, Monica has only been playing for two years, so he has no interest.

In this way, he actually only has three wives and four lovers, after all, he is also 69 years old, although his body is still very strong, but he also knows how to spare his life.

Suddenly, the swim bladder on the sea sank, Lin Zhichao's expression was happy, and he immediately lifted it dry!

"It's a big fish!"

In addition to making money, there are many things to do in life, such as fishing now.

"Brother Chao, it's a big fish" Guan Jiahui, who was on the upper deck, shouted happily.

Immediately, the four women trotted towards Lin Zhichao, their faces were very happy!

And Lin Zhichao, in order not to lose face in front of women, naturally has to concentrate on pulling fish ashore, he has strength, but pulling fish does not rely on strength, but to fight wits and courage with big fish.

As a large grouper surfaced, Lin Zhichao said happily: "I'm afraid I have to have sixty catties, and it's still a dragon!" ”

The dragon grouper is the king of grouper, the meat is high-quality, nutritious, and the taste is better than that of ordinary grouper. The wild ones are generally more than thirty or forty catties, and today this one is sixty catties, which can be called the best of the best.

"It's a blessing at noon!"

"Brother Chao, grab it!"

The four women cheered for Lin Zhichao, and the two female bodyguards also hurriedly prepared to help.

As Lin Zhichao held the big dragon in his arms, he looked like a winner.

"Take a picture of me"

"Okay, Brother Chao"

That's life!

After a while, Lin Zhichao changed his clothes and sat in the living room of the superyacht.

Looking at the four beauties who are still young, Lin Zhichao is also full of emotion, the oldest Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia are now in their 40s. But under the nourishment of Lin Zhichao, he looks like he has just turned thirty years old, and he is still very beautiful.

This is also why Lin Zhichao didn't go to his 18-year-old sister-in-law to be younger and younger at an age when his physical needs were still strong, because the women around him were enough for him to appreciate.

Zhao Yazhi poured a glass of red wine for Lin Zhichao and said: "Brother Chao, Gao Yuan has been recruited by an investment bank in Singapore and is ready to return to China to work!" ”

She and Lin Zhichao have two sons, the eldest Lin Gaoyuan is 22 years old, and the youngest is also an adult.

Now that her son has succeeded in his studies, she naturally wants to be her father's Lin Zhichao to report to work.

Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "Okay, there is a lot of talent, there is no high ambition!" ”

If Lin Gaoyuan thinks about starting a business as soon as he leaves school, or asks Lin Zhichao for help - joining Lin's enterprise, this will make Lin Zhichao's evaluation lower.

Zhao Yazhi said with a smile: "He has always remembered your words - down-to-earth development will lead to success!" I originally wanted him to work in my investment company, but he refused, saying that I had your guidance and needed his help. What is this saying, boy! ”

Lin Zhichao, Zhao Yazhi's investment company, but his assets are already five or six billion Hong Kong dollars, Lin Gaoyuan did not join, obviously hoping to prove his ability first, and then start his own business or join his mother's investment company.

"By the way, you should hurry up and get rid of the Hong Kong property and stocks in your hands, it is estimated that there will be a big plunge in a few months!"

The four girls were startled and came up one after another.

Guan Jiahui hurriedly said: "Isn't it a big rise now, everyone thinks that Hong Kong's economy will enter a new stage of development after 97!" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "The bubble is too big, Thailand in Southeast Asia has already begun, and Hong Kong is also about to begin, this time at least it will be cut in half." Remember, don't spread it around, or you won't be able to escape. ”

Lin Qingxia asked, "What about the stocks of Taiwan Island and the stocks of the United States?" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "Taiwan's should also be thrown, the United States does not care, this time it is the bursting of the Asian bubble." The action should be fast, and strive to complete it in three or four months, otherwise it will be too late to run. ”

He scared the women and actually had at least half a year to run.

Li Jiaxin asked: "Have all the investment properties in Hong Kong been dumped?" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "If you really like it, just keep a little bit, not too much." Once the bubble bursts, there is a chance to buy the bottom, so it's cool! ”

At this time, the pick-up man is more into the cow's hair; If you pick it up late, there are many sellers.

This month, the Ng Teng Fong family joined hands with their own Sino Properties to acquire a plot of land in Chai Wan for HK$12.2 billion, setting a record for the auction of an official residence in Hong Kong. The price of office space in Central District has reached a record high of 20,000 square feet.

You can imagine how crazy the situation is now!

The four women looked at Lin Zhichao with admiration, and the confident expression on this man's face made them sure that it was another beautiful 'high throw and low suck'.

Over the years, with Lin Zhichao's guidance, their wealth has risen.

Half of their wealth is in Hong Kong's real estate and stock market, and half is invested overseas, and all four of them have invested in Microsoft stocks, with annual returns of more than 30%, and their wealth has naturally skyrocketed.

"Lin Sheng, a few young ladies, do you want lunch now?"

"Okay, we'll be right here!"

Lin Zhichao got up and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's enjoy the dragon cake!" ”

The four girls were also happy!

"Brother Chao caught a big dragon today, and today is the real dragon emperor!" Guan Jiahui took the lead in holding Lin Zhichao's arm and took the first step.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "True Dragon Heavenly Son, I can't eat you four concubines!" ”

The four girls spat out one after another, and the scene was very harmonious.

The current super brother doesn't kill more than one stone, but they seem to be a little unbearable.

A 28kg dragon barge, with a variety of cooking methods, was quickly presented in front of everyone.

"Blessed are you today, not only did I catch a rare dragon barge, but even the chef is Chef Zhou, a famous chef from Hong Kong, and I specially called him to the boat." Lin Zhichao said to the four girls sitting on both sides.

"Really, Brother Chao, you are retired now, and you will enjoy life even more, and you will invite Master Zhou to the superyacht." Li Jiaxin said happily.

In fact, Lin Zhichao naturally has no shortage of private chefs, but private chefs are Hong Kong celebrity chefs, but they are treated like top rich, which is due to the fact that Lin Zhichao's family owns a hotel group.

Otherwise, Lin Zhichao felt that it would be a waste.

"You really think I'm retired, I'm working as a consultant for everyone now, and I don't actually have a break!"

Everyone is happy, and wealth can continue to grow.

A few days later.

Lin Zhichao came to New York, in a high-rise duplex apartment in Manhattan, Lin Zhichao was enjoying a massage by Zou Kaixuan.

This is a room furnished like an office, Lin Zhichao is lying on the sofa, and Zou Kaixuan is wearing an office OL uniform and is carefully massaging Lin Zhichao.

"Boss, Amazon is about to hit the market!"

"Well, you can buy some stocks when the time comes, you just look at the operation!"

"Boss, why don't you venture into it directly, after all, you were very optimistic from the beginning."

Lin Zhichao looked at the black silk legs in front of him, stretched out his hand and stepped forward, Zou Kaixuan followed him for less than half a year, and Lin Zhichao fell in love with her; is not coveting Zou Kaixuan's beauty, but coveting Zou Kaixuan's ability.

After all, he needs a loyal subordinate, so getting laid will naturally increase loyalty.

Zou Kaixuan, who was massaging, was overjoyed, she had meat to eat today, although she was also Lin Zhichao's woman, she couldn't eat meat a few times a year; She understands that Lin Zhichao's relationship with her - the boss and the employee, but she is still willing to go further with Lin Zhichao, because Lin Zhichao is the big hero in her mind.

"You can't make too much of a show, it's making money anyway, why not keep a low profile!"

TO INVEST IN THE AMERICAN INTERNET, EXCEPT FOR YAHOO, WHICH IS THROUGH LIN RUIJIANG'S 'CHANGJIANG INDUSTRIAL FUND', THE REST ARE TO BUY NO MORE THAN 3% OF THE EQUITY AFTER LISTING.

"Well, I see, you are a legendary businessman, and it would be incredible if you ventured into these excellent Internet companies."

Lin Zhichao sat up, and then pulled Zou Kaixuan down.

Zou Kaixuan understood in seconds, and the two quickly reported to work and did things at the same time.

"The Internet revolution broke out in the United States, and I believe that China, as a new economy, must have no shortage of opportunities. Later, if you go to Huaxia again, you can directly venture into China's Internet companies in the future. ”

"Uh-huh"

Soon, the position of the two turned into a desk.

"Triumph, don't you want a child, but you have to understand that this child will be an illegitimate child, and I don't have the energy to care about him." Lin Zhichao pushed Zou Kaixuan from behind and said.

He has quite a few illegitimate children, which makes him not mind a woman raising his illegitimate children, after all, excellent genes need to be passed on more.

Zou Kaixuan turned his head, his white shirt was wide open, the red mountain shook, and he said with surprise on his face: "I want to rest assured, I promise to educate the children well and will never trouble you." ”

Lin Zhichao clicked twice vigorously and said, "Then what are you trying to do with me!" ”

Zou Kaixuan said: "No, you are my hero, so whatever you want to do to me, I will be loyal to you!" ”

Lin Zhichao's nature has become higher, and when he reaches his status, looking for a woman cares more about the inside, and the appearance is not absolute. Otherwise, with his wealth and charm, I don't know how many more romantic accounts he will have to be satisfied.

"If you don't try, you can't do it, follow me to invest in Huaxia Technology Internet Company in the future, and ensure that our son will be worth tens of billions in the future!"

"Well, you're having fun today, I can stand it!" (End of chapter)
