Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 332 [Debt Reduction]

Saturday, October 12.

The Big D Club (also known as 'Carrie Lam Group' by the media) held a gathering at the Clear Water Bay Golf and Country Club. The members included Lin Zuhui, Zheng Yutong, Liu Luanxiong, Yang Shoucheng, Poon Dickson, and Fang Jin. Today Lin Zuhui brought Zhou Xingchi again.

Bringing Zhou Xingchi was just a random act, and it wasn't true that he was qualified to join in, at least not right now.

Among them, although Pan Disheng has a close relationship with the Zheng family, he has gotten closer to Lin Zuhui in recent years; and Fang Jin is Lin Zuhui's younger brother, and Zheng Yutong naturally wouldn't say anything when he brought him in.

And Zhou Xingchi has already been promoted to "star master" in the past two years, and has shot ten movies for DreamWorks, with a total box office of more than 3 million; The advertising fee only earned 1500 million net worth.

However, Lin Zuhui recently introduced him to Fang Jin and asked him to buy some houses and wait for the value to rise, which is considered to be a compliment to him.

There are still two years left in Zhou Xingchi's contract with DreamWorks, but if he single-mindedly wants to change jobs, someone will pay the 1000 million liquidated damages for him; therefore, his salary has been raised twice this year, and it is currently around 200 million per movie.

Everyone first drank and chatted in a large private room in the clubhouse. Basically, every meeting was chatting, hoeing, and playing golf.

Lin Zuhui was leaning on the sofa, crossing his legs, holding a red wine glass in his hand, and a group of younger brothers waiting beside him, it was still very comfortable.It's not that the little brother is waiting for people to be comfortable, but that the famous little brother is waiting for people to be quite comfortable.

Pan Dickson with his left hand, Fang Jin with his right hand, and Zhou Xingchi sitting beside him;

Zheng Yutong has Liu Luanxiong on one side and Yang Shoucheng on the other.

Zheng Yutong said first: "Today, Ah Hui, you have to accompany us to get rid of the big D. Every time you say that you want to go back to accompany your girlfriend, why not give yourself a holiday? Haha!" But he started joking.

Lin Zuhui immediately said bluntly: "If you hoe from afternoon to night, I really have to ask you for leave, let Fang Jin play with you!"

Zheng Yutong looked at Fang Jin and asked, "Millions of poker games, no problem?"

Fang Jin said with a smile: "No problem, Uncle Tong, what time do you say the call will be!"

Everyone was a little curious. People with a net worth of over [-] million may not be able to play this game, at least they must have a net worth of hundreds of millions.Could it be that Fang Jin's net worth skyrocketed again following Lin Zuhui?

Only Lin Zuhui knew that Fang Jin's net worth was more than 2 million now, and this was not counted as the real estate bargain hunting this time; although Lin Zuhui didn't say anything clearly, Fang Jin also understood through the timing of Li Zhi and the others' real estate speculation.What's more, Lin Zuhui asked him to buy a house with Zhou Xingchi.

Of course, people like Fang Jin, Zhou Xingchi and others dare not invest too much in real estate speculation. If it really plummets, they will go bankrupt.

At this time, Yang Shoucheng asked Lin Zuhui modestly: "Zu Hui, I want to go public through a backdoor recently, what do you think is the timing?"

In fact, we seldom talk about business together, but it is inevitable to talk about business.

Yang Shou thought about Lin Zuhui's strength in the financial field, so he couldn't help asking.

Lin Zuhui said: "You have all the answers, so naturally you have to do it, and the market is still okay now!"

Yang Shoucheng nodded. He has indeed decided to go public through a backdoor. He also understands finance. After all, he has a large number of foreign exchange brokers.

When Fang Jin heard Yang Shoucheng say this, he was also very moved, and quickly said, "I'm also going to go public through a backdoor soon!"

Fang Jin owns a construction company and an intermediary company. Usually, his main business is to buy old stores and buildings, renovate them, and sell them piecemeal.

Lin Zuhui suddenly remembered that he still had a "China Entertainment" shell that he didn't need.Because ATV's listing does not require a backdoor listing, and it meets any conditions for listing, a backdoor listing will be more complicated.

"Did you find the shell?"

"Not yet. I also heard about the backdoor listing from Brother Yang, so I just thought of it!"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "I happen to have an empty shell, you can take it later!"

Fang Jin immediately knew that it was the shell of China Entertainment Company, and it was a good shell, so he nodded quickly.

Since China Entertainment became a shell company, it has not stopped developing, but has been speculating in properties and stocks. Its current net assets are around 8000 million, and Lin Zuhui holds 49% of the shares.If Fang Jin needs it, he will sell it for exactly 5000 million yuan.

After chatting for a while, everyone started to form a team to play golf.

During the period, Lin Zuhui called Zhou Xingchi and said, "How much property did you buy?"

Zhou Xingchi was no longer as shy as before, and said with a smile: "The property worth 5000 million was bought with a down payment of 3%!"

Lin Zuhui was taken aback, and immediately said: "It seems that you are quite courageous, and you are not afraid of me shaking you!"

Zhou Xingchi said confidently: "Boss, tell me what I do. Besides, all Hong Kong citizens know that after this year's sharp drop, boss, you speculate on real estate projects worth tens of billions!"

Lin Zuhui patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then walked towards the golf course.

Of course Zhou Xingchi knew that the boss was trying to remind him. Of course, he also knew that he was valued by the company because of his value.In fact, he also thought about paying off the breach of contract fee and leaving DreamWorks.

However, he felt that he could not afford to offend his boss, who was the overlord of television, newspapers, and magazines.

Fortunately, the salary has risen to 200 million, which is not unacceptable!Especially recently, the boss introduced Fang Jin to himself. Zhou Xingchi knew that he was well-off, and he had always wanted to buy a property. However, before the plunge, he bought two thousand-foot mansions, both of which were up to the ceiling.After the plunge, he worried that house prices would continue to fall.

It wasn't until November, when the boss introduced Fang Jin to him, that he felt that he had found an organization.

Everyone played from morning to afternoon. When Lin Zuhui left, Zheng Yutong, Da Liu, Yang Shoucheng, and Fang Jin organized a poker game again. It seemed that they would fight until late at night, or even all night.

The reason why Lin Zuhui doesn't need to socialize at night is because he now has four sons and two daughters. Cai Ning gave birth to a daughter in October this year, and Qiu Shuzhen gave birth to a son in November.

It fully proved a problem, male and female births are all dominated by men. You must know that Qiu Shuzhen had three daughters in her previous life, but she did not give birth to a son.This also made Lin Zuhui feel relieved. Qiu, Li, and Lin were all daughters in their previous lives.

On Monday, Lin Zuhui called Gao Yi and Liang Zhenxun to his office.

"Let's arrange to sell Wanguobaotong Center and Central Plaza, each with 15% equity, at a total price of 30 billion to Hengjin Real Estate, my personal real estate company. Then, New Era Group will repay the 120 billion loan and reduce the debt. Hold to [-] billion."

Gao Yi nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it!"

He originally wanted to buy the Causeway Bay World Trade Center directly, but he felt that that would expose the strength of Hengjin Real Estate.After buying [-]% ​​of the interests in Central Plaza and Citicorp Center, Hengjin Real Estate will hold [-]% of the interests in these two projects (three buildings).

The management is still Huaren Real Estate, and Hengjin Real Estate only needs to enjoy the dividends every year. In this way, everyone knows that these two projects are properties of Huaren Real Estate, and they will not think that they are properties of Hengjin Real Estate.

Liang Zhenxun said: "After such an operation, New Times Group not only reduced its debt holdings to 120 billion, but also has nearly 10 billion in cash and more than 5 million in foreign exchange investment, which is enough to deal with the bidding for the Kwai Chung No. [-] container terminal next month. .”

1988年，李超人以45亿的标价拿下7号货柜码头；而如今的8号货柜码头和7号货柜码头都是四个泊位，但面积稍微小点。再加上如今市道不好，所以此次中标价应该在50亿左右。

In fact, if the bid is won, the New Era Group will only have one-eighth of the equity, that is, Sea-Land Containers will account for one-fourth of the shares.

Therefore, the New Times Group invested no more than [-]-[-] million yuan in the container terminal, and all subsequent constructions will use loans.

Lin Zuhui said: "The funds are still sufficient, and the purchase of land cannot be stopped. Follow-up debts, and then slowly consider reducing holdings!"

If you can earn more than 5 million in foreign exchange, together with the principal, you can repay another 10 billion.

As for the construction costs of Hua Zhi, they are actually paid out through rent and loans at the same time.

Liang Zhenxun and Gao Yi knew that the boss was very clear about the company's plan, so they, the management, never considered the issue of excessive debt.At least, they think that the boss's personal funds are very sufficient. Once something happens to the company, the boss will always use the funds to rescue the company.

After the two left, Lin Zuhui began to calculate.

支付购买现代货柜25%股份的25亿、支付购买亚视20%股权的6亿、认购新时代集团‘认股权证’的20亿、购买华人置业物业的15亿；
In addition to the 20 billion funds invested in buying USD/JPY, he spent another 85 billion, and his huge debt of 65 billion has not yet been repaid.

However, he is not worried. Japanese securities will be able to withdraw about 150 billion yuan.

If foreign exchange and Nikkei futures make money, it will be his free funds together with the principal.

Not only that, his Hengjin Real Estate owns many rental properties:

[-]% interest in the second and third buildings of Diligende Pavilion (three buildings are under construction)
14% interest in the Convention and Exhibition Center Building ([-] square feet, already leased out)

305% interest in Wanguotong Center and Central Plaza (a first-class commercial building with a total area of ​​[-] million square feet)
32 shops (Wangpu located in Central, Causeway Bay, Wanchai, and Tsim Sha Tsui, with a total area of ​​2.3 square feet and a current value of about 9 million)
The office building is about 30 square feet (worth 10 billion, the largest unit is a floor, and the smallest is a household)
6 garden-style villas (worth 3 million)
15 detached/townhouses (worth 4 million)
62 luxury units (approximately 20 square feet, worth 5.5 million)
Two industrial buildings (area 50 square feet, worth 2.5 million)
The current value of these properties is about 80 billion. After all, there are still projects to start construction.

Moreover, these properties are only listed on Hengjin Real Estate, and the properties of Lin Zuhui himself and the fairies are not included.

For example, Guan Jiahui bought 250 houses of the New Times Group this time, and the monthly loan repayment is enough for her to drink a pot, so Lin Zuhui told her to squat down, and she never dared to stand up.

After entering the 90s, the housing prices in Xiangjiang will rise for about 8 years, that is, before the Asian financial crisis.

According to the statistics of the relevant departments of Xiangjiang, there are still 35 to 50 residential units in Xiangjiang. It can be seen how fierce the increase will be!
The next day, the groundbreaking ceremony of the Citicorp Center was held grandly. Citicorp attached great importance to this project, and even the senior management of the US headquarters came to Hong Kong in person.

And because of Wanguobaotong's relationship, many guests came to this groundbreaking ceremony, basically all of them are Wanguobaotong's partners.Wei Yixin was once again invited by Steve, the person in charge of Citicorp Xiangjiang, and all the Pu Weiss who came to HSBC came.

The total construction cost of Wanguotong Center is 22 billion, and the interest needs to be paid is 7 million yuan, plus the land fee of 31 billion, and the total investment is 60 billion.

The construction cost of the whole project is relatively high, and it is naturally a first-class commercial building. Not only that, the building is designed to have an optical fiber central communication system.

In the future, this building can easily be regarded as the property of Wanguobaotong. This is also one of Lin Zuhui's original intentions, which is to hide wealth.

After the grand foundation laying ceremony ended, everyone enjoyed the banquet in the built place.

Lin Zuhui is still the most popular person. Although Wilson is the boss of the Hong Kong government, he is not very important to foreign capital. On the contrary, many people come to Lin Zuhui, hoping to know each other and have the possibility of cooperation.

This is the case with John, the top executive of Citicorp in the United States. In his opinion, Lin Zuhui will soon go out of the world to develop, after all, Hong Kong is still too small.

"Mr. Lin, I have admired you for a long time, but you are also famous on Wall Street!" John said while handing over his business card.

Some things cannot be hidden at all, for example, Lin Zuhui is a master of foreign exchange speculation!
Lin Zuhui returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Mr. John has won the award. I have never even been to Wall Street. How can I be famous!"

After being polite, John took the initiative to mention: "Does Mr. Lin have any plans to increase investment in the United States?"

Lin Zuhui said simply: "Yes! But I haven't decided on the project yet, and I will go to the United States for inspection next year!"

John immediately said happily: "Our Citigroup is a large consortium in the United States. If Mr. Lin needs any help and cooperation projects, you can contact me. I will treat you warmly!"

Steve also added: "Mr. Lin, you have to believe in the strength of our Citigroup, and as far as I know, you have already invested in some projects on the west coast of the United States, and I know that you are keen on Los Angeles and San Francisco. Exactly, our Citigroup is the largest Consortium."

Although Citigroup is headquartered in New York, it belongs to a consortium emerging in the west, and Boeing is a company controlled by it.

Lin Zuhui nodded. Xiangjiang millionaires are definitely very popular in Europe and the United States. Canadian provincial officials often visit Lin Zuhui, hoping that Lin Zuhui will invest in Canada.He didn't refuse, but they all talked after the 90s.

Therefore, even if Lin Zuhui did not really walk out of Xiangjiang, he has actually accumulated a lot of connections in Europe and America.

Next, some people came to Lin Zuhui one after another, and he greeted them with a smile, and handled it very well.It's hard to imagine that a young man in his 20s can be so calm and extremely confident in a group of mature people.With this temperament, he will beat up the descendants of those European and American nobles and consortiums.

If Lin Zuhui knew these thoughts, he would definitely despise them in his heart. The so-called nobles in Europe and America are worth nothing in his eyes.He is a self-made rich man, and he is located in the golden land of Xiangjiang, not to mention that he is most proud of the sense of superiority brought about by his body.

Some people live for 80 years, so Lin Zuhui can confidently say that he lives more comfortably than others.
