Hong Kong's new giants

On the board of directors of New Era Real Estate, Huang Qianheng still sits as the chairman, which is the respect Lin Zuhui gave him.

Of course, it's just this time, not the next one.

Huang Qianheng said: "Dear directors, you must know that the person next to me is the new major shareholder of New Era Real Estate. The company's current problems are very serious, and turning losses into profits is the top priority. I admit that I am powerless and lack confidence, so I will We hope to introduce new capital and try to save New Era Real Estate.”

As soon as the words fell, all the directors showed angry and sad expressions. They looked at the young Lin Zuhui. Even though the rumors were very fierce, they still didn't believe that a 20-year-old young man could become the chairman of a listed company and lead the company. A real estate company with assets of over [-] million came out of the predicament.

Without waiting for the directors to attack, Lin Zuhui said directly: "There is no situation that can be worse than the current New Era Real Estate! It can be said bluntly that I was originally in the shell business, and at the beginning I planned to sell the assets of this company. Restructuring, buying shells, raising shells, and selling shells, after a series of operations, I can earn at least 5000 million. But in this case, the value of the shares in the hands of directors and shareholders will be hard to say!"

A director said angrily: "Our company is a pure real estate company, which is different from your Paramount operation!"

"In fact, it's easier to operate. You don't need to divest the assets, just sell the assets and repay the bank interest. In the end, there are only a few high-quality properties left to support the status of the listed company, and then slowly find new buyers."

Lin Zuhui's words made it impossible for everyone to refute. He is now the major shareholder with a shareholding as high as 40%. They are just small shareholders who are at the mercy of others.

A director asked, "What does the chairman mean now?"

Take it easy!

Lin Zuhui didn't show off, but said: "I'm already preparing the company's asset reorganization plan. The general plan is: reduce the face value of the original shares from 1 yuan to 0.5 yuan (the face value is not the market value, the face value is printed on the stock when it goes public. ) to offset losses; and then inject new funds in exchange for the issuance of warrants to pay off debts... Pay the bill and count, and the new capital will use 4000 million real money to inject new era real estate."

Lin Zuhui's words shocked everyone immediately. This asset restructuring plan is simply too beneficial to New Era Real Estate!

Although everyone's shares will be diluted, at least the company's assets have increased, and the company can survive; to sum up, New Times Real Estate needs a sum of 4000 million yuan to save it.

Soon, everyone didn't care about Lin Zuhui, and elected Lin Zuhui as the chairman and general manager at the meeting.

Lin Zuhui also suggested that Gao Yi be the assistant to the general manager, and everyone passed it smoothly.

Since then, Lin Zuhui has barely grasped New Times Real Estate, a company on the verge of liquidation, but the subsequent asset reorganization is not that simple.Fortunately, Lin Zuhui has a team he trusts—Great Wisdom, and with Wang Qilin as his backing, there is no problem relying on Lin Zuhui's ability.

Chapter 60 【Real Estate Warming】

Construction of Taikoo Shing began in 1975 and was divided into ten phases in total, which were largely completed in 1985.

Phases 30 to 32 of Taikoo Shing are diamond-shaped buildings with a height of [-] to [-] floors, overlooking the harbor, so they are called Seaview Gardens.

Lin Zuhui stayed at Guan Jiahui's new home last night - Phase [-] of Taikoo Shing. He didn't come to stay at her house every night. He only came to her house when he needed to work hard. own home.

"You might as well move here, since you are renting a house anyway! How about it, my big chairman!" Guan Jiahui said coquettishly, holding Lin Zuhui's arm.

Lin Zuhui said righteously: "No! I am a man, how can I live in a woman's house!"

"Cut! What's the difference between the frequency of your coming here and living here, you want to save face! Besides, didn't you help me earn these houses!"

Lin Zuhui ignored her, he still wanted to date other women, how could he live here every day.

"By the way, how about the crew? If someone bullies you, just tell me and help you get revenge!" Lin Zuhui changed the topic.

Guan Jiahui is currently filming "Summer Lucky Star", which is a comedy starring Sanmao, Jack and others.

"Then you go to visit the class!" Guan Jiahui immediately said with hope.

Of course she wants to make this relationship public, what a prestige, the youngest chairman of a listed company in Xiangjiang and a publishing tycoon.

This... Lin Zuhui hesitated a little. He was actually not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that having a girlfriend in the future would make it difficult to pick up girls, especially since he was planning to pick up Wang Zuxian now, it would be bad if it was published in the newspaper.

But seeing Guan Jiahui's big watery eyes, he agreed in a strange way, which immediately made Guan Jiahui very happy.

I can't die, I have my own way!

……

Since Lin Zuhui took over New Era Real Estate, the stock of New Era Real Estate has not risen but has fallen. At the lowest point, it was only 0.25 Hong Kong dollars per share, and the total market value was only 5000 million.

The 20-year-old chairman is obviously unconvincing, but it doesn't matter. Lin Zuhui has recently strengthened his control over the company and negotiated with major lending banks and creditors. Finally, he has gained a lot.

First of all, Lin Zuhui is familiar with the business of New Era Real Estate. He has already memorized every project of the rent collection business and the development site.

Secondly, Lin Zuhui taught all the management to obey. He is the absolute major shareholder, and the second shareholder's shareholding is less than 10%.

In the end, all major banks expressed their support for New Era Real Estate's asset restructuring plan, extended the repayment date, and provided an interest-free period of one to three months.

It doesn't matter if it falls briefly, once the company gets out of the liquidation crisis, it will skyrocket.

……

On April 4, the Hong Kong government auction house.

Today, the Hong Kong government will launch the "Admiralty King" for auction, with a reserve price of 5 million yuan.Although New Era Real Estate could not afford it, it did not prevent Lin Zuhui from walking into the auction to visit this grand event.

In fact, this piece of land was launched in November 1982. At that time, the real estate market was quiet, and only three consortiums entered the bid; Cheung Kong offered 11 million and New World Development 6 million; take back.

As the Hong Kong government, it is natural to hope that the real estate market will be good. After all, real estate is the main source of financial revenue; so this time, the Hong Kong government hopes to swear that the real estate has come out of the trough by auctioning the "Admiralty King".

More than 700 people participated in this land auction, including high-level executives of major real estate companies in Hong Kong, important officials of major banks, and reporters stationed in Hong Kong from major news agencies around the world; ), Zheng Yutong, Lee Shau Kee, Chen Zengxi, Wang Dehui and other real estate tycoons, the spectacle of the scene is really rare.

Lin Zuhui and Wang Qilin met and walked into the auction house together. Now that he is the chairman of a listed company, he is naturally qualified to know more bigwigs. Of course, it all depends on Wang Qilin's connections.

Wang Qilin brought Lin Zuhui to Li Zhaoji, and the two were still acquainted.

"Brother Li, let me introduce you. This is Lin Zuhui, the chairman of New Era Real Estate, and he is one of my juniors!"

Li Zhaoji was surprised and said: "I know Lin Sheng, a publishing tycoon and the newly promoted youngest chairman of a listed company. It's a pleasure to meet me!"

There is no affectation between the words, and there is no suspicion of bullying the small, but the tone is very optimistic!

Among the four major families, Li Zhaoji did not launch an active acquisition war, because he felt that the seizing company seemed to be doing evil; his later subsidiaries such as China Coal and Miramar had very clean backgrounds, and they were all invited by others to enter the market.

Of course, he is not Lin Zuhui's template. Lin Zuhui will definitely initiate some acquisitions, otherwise it will not develop at all.

"Mr. Li has won the award. I am still a primary school student in real estate. Come here to admire the demeanor of the seniors!"

After chatting for a few words, Wang Qilin took Lin Zuhui to continue getting to know real estate bosses. He entered the real estate industry in the 60s, and he basically knew all the bosses in Xiangjiang.Moreover, although Wang Qilin's previous real estate company was not listed, it almost stepped into the medium-sized real estate industry, and became a billionaire with assets of more than one billion.

This auction was very exciting. The fierce bidding, as well as the large number of bids and the length of time it took, were all 'unprecedented' in the auction of Xiangjiang Real Estate.

When the price was close to [-] million, the auctioneer even dropped the hammer off the table unconsciously, which caused the audience to be stunned and became an episode.

When the price was close to [-] million, the audience stood up and burst into warm applause, announcing the official end of the real estate recession that had lasted for several years.

In the end, it was still Swire Properties' strong fortune that won the "Admiralty Land King" covering an area of ​​7.03 square feet at a price of HK$11.5 million.

This piece of land was the first phase of the famous Taikoo Plaza. Lin Zuhui seems to remember that in 1986, in the adjacent area of ​​this piece of land, the Hong Kong government offered another piece of land for auction, but it was still won by Swire Properties.The two pieces of land have a total of 29 square feet. Later, a four-story podium building (the shopping mall part) and four super buildings (including two office buildings, three first-class hotels, luxury apartments and serviced hotel residences) were built. The total The rental area is 500 million square feet.

If Lin Zuhui came to this era five years in advance, he would hold this piece of land in his arms no matter what, it would be a proper family heirloom.

But now, he can only drool!

Even a real estate developer worth more than one billion yuan like Wang Qilin is not qualified, because the land plus subsequent construction costs will require an investment of at least 50 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Only large real estate developers have this strength!

Walking out of the auction house, Wang Qilin patted Lin Zuhui on the shoulder and said, "How is it? Is it a big feeling?"

Lin Zuhui said confidently: "Very good, sooner or later I want a skyscraper!"

"You boy, I thought you were hit!"

How is it possible, there are still a lot of high-quality assets and land waiting for me to acquire and win in the future, how can I lack confidence!

Although I started a bit late, if I can get a lot of funds in the financial market, I can quickly make up the gap between myself and the top ten chaebols.

Chapter 61 【Conflict】

Golden Harvest Film City is located opposite Diamond Hill. It was originally owned by Cathay Pacific Corporation (MPA). Golden Harvest was leased out one year after its establishment.

These days, Diamond Hill is dilapidated and has not yet been fully developed. Occasionally, a few construction sites can be seen; Lin Zuhui remembers that there is a Hollywood shopping center here, which seems to be the "King of Diamond Hill" photographed by Wheelock in the early 90s. '.

There are still seven or eight years before that time, and Lin Zuhui believes that he may not have the strength to grab this piece of "Diamond Mountain King" and build his own commercial complex.

When Lin Zuhui came outside Golden Harvest Studios, he didn't rush in to visit the studio, but called Guan Jiahui first; he kept his identity, so he didn't want to be suspected and driven away by people with "ulterior motives".

After the call, Lin Zuhui looked at Golden Harvest Studios, which was backed by a small hill. The size of the studio was about 40 million square feet, only about half the size of Shaw Brothers Studios.

After a while, Guan Jiahui trotted all the way to Lin Zuhui with a smile on her face.

"Zu Hui, how long have you been here!"

Lin Zuhui saw that she was a little out of breath, and there was still a little sweat on her cheeks. Obviously, in order not to let Lin Zuhui wait too long, she came all the way from a small slope.

"Just here!"

"Well, I'll take you in!"

Without further ado, Guan Jiahui took Lin Zuhui's arm, but Lin Zuhui was a little worried about the paparazzi.

"Miss Guan, bring your boyfriend to visit!" the security guard greeted.

"En!" the woman said generously.

There is no need to register. It seems that although Guan Jiahui is a supporting role, she is also famous on the set.After entering the gate, the first thing that catches the eye is the administrative building, where people are quite busy.

"That's our administrative building. Boss Zou is in that office. There's also a piece of Li Xiaolong's office that has been vacant..." Guan Jiahui kept introducing.

Lin Zuhui smiled, Li Xiaolong's office should of course be empty all the time, when Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers and founded Golden Harvest for a year, it was on the verge of bankruptcy, it was Li Xiaolong who saved Golden Harvest; otherwise, Xu Guanwen and Jackie Chan would not be able to come on the bench , Golden Harvest had to close.

It is said that back then, when Li Xiaolong went to the bathroom, Zou Wenhuai kept guard at the door, fearing that Shaw Brothers would steal his cash cow; although people like Xu Guanwen, Chen Long, and Fatty Hong were important to Golden Harvest, they would not go there. that level.

"Golden Harvest invites you to film, how much will you pay?" Lin Zuhui asked curiously.

"Millions of dollars have been invested in this film, and my salary is 5 yuan. Speaking of it, it is thanks to the benefits brought to me by "Frankenstein", otherwise 3 yuan would be good!" Guan Jiahui said indifferently.

She is now a rich woman in the entertainment industry, and she owns ten houses. Although they are all mortgaged, she is full of confidence.In her words, if she doesn't do well in the circle, she can live on rent.

"When your movie is released, I will ask "FHM" and "GOOD" magazines to give you an exclusive interview, and I will guarantee that you will be hotter than those leading actors!" Lin Zuhui joked.

"It may be more popular than them there! Chen Long's salary for a movie is millions, and our actress doesn't even get a fraction of his salary."

This is something that can’t be helped. Even in the 21st century, the salary of male and female stars is very different; but in the Hong Kong film industry in the 80s, the gap is indeed large, and it will be better in the 90s.

During the conversation, the two walked into a studio, where the workers were busy and there were some extras waiting for the scene, but they didn't see Fatty Hong, Chen Long, Yuen Biao and other leading actors.

Instead, an actor who resembled 'Lin Qingxia' immediately walked up to the two of them and said, "Jiahui, this is your boyfriend, so handsome!"

Guan Jiahui proudly introduced: "My boyfriend Lin Zuhui, this is sister Hu Huizhong."

Overlord flower!

Hu Huizhong asked curiously: "What does Mr. Lin do?"

"I'm Yuji!"

"what!"

Immediately, many people nearby cast unkind glances, and even some people who were ready to move wanted to drive Lin Zuhui away.

Guan Jiahui blushed, and quickly said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is from a real estate company, just kidding!" After speaking, she lightly pinched Lin Zuhui to signal to stop talking nonsense.

Now the little cast is entering the arena, they don't want to offend Guan Jiahui, a beauty, so they temporarily stopped thinking about driving Lin Zuhui away.

Then, familiar faces walked into the studio one by one.

Uncle Ying Lin Zhenying, this is an actor that Lin Zuhui liked in his previous life, of course he just liked his character 'Uncle Ying'.

"Hey, pretty boy is a bit unfamiliar, which department?" Lin Zhenying walked up to Lin Zuhui and looked him over.

"Brother Ying, my boyfriend Lin Zuhui, this is the martial arts instructor Lin Zhenying."

Lin Zuhui greeted him lightly. He regretted coming to visit the class now, mainly because he was not interested in these things. Although he liked the role of 'Uncle Ying' better, he also knew that Lin Zhenying was an alcoholic, so he couldn't like this character.

"Jiahui, before Brother Sanmao comes, it's not easy to have outsiders here, so please be a little more careful."

Guan Jiahui was very angry at this time, she was not angry with Lin Zhenying, but why Lin Zuhui didn't introduce her identity, and as soon as she entered the studio, the man seemed unwilling to speak, which made her think in vain.

She can't take the initiative to introduce to others, this is my boyfriend, chairman of a listed company, publisher tycoon!

"Zu Hui, introduce yourself too!" Guan Jiahui said bitterly when there was no one around.

"I'll pick you up after get off work later, what to introduce, I'm not from this industry."

It's impossible for me to lower myself and become one with these actors.

This time, it was purely to save face for Guan Jiahui, and also to satisfy curiosity.

"Okay! Okay! Knowing that you are great, I look down on them!" Guan Jiahui said flatteringly.

I also regretted my little thoughts, her boyfriend really has that qualification.But if you get along with these actors, wouldn't it be self-deprecation.

Lin Zuhui was not polite either, and was about to leave the studio. At this time, several men came to the studio suddenly. They were Fatty Hong, Cheng Long, Yuen Biao and others.

Fatty Hong walked in the front. He was short and fat, and he was very simple and honest on TV, but he was very serious on the set. He looked like a leader, ready to give orders at any time.

At this time, Cheng Long suddenly rushed to the front, and greeted everyone with "Hello" and "Hello" non-stop; He is paid millions of dollars in dramas, and the actress also likes him, etc.;
