The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

Graduation season.

Lin Ruihuan held the graduation certificate issued by Harvard Business School and was extremely excited. He had finally fulfilled his father and mother's entrustment, the family's mission, and became a role model for his younger brothers and sisters.

Amid the applause of his classmates, he walked off the stage happily.

Jerry, the roommate next to him, said: "Brother, you are about to become Audrey Hepburn's employee. Aren't you excited to have the opportunity to get close to the goddess?"

It turned out that when everyone graduated, everyone was asking each other which company to go to, and Lin Ruihuan told his friends that he was going to a private investment company - Audrey Investment Enterprises.

Unexpectedly, it immediately attracted the envy and jealousy of many people.

Lin Ruihuan said: "I am going to work on a hotel project, so I may not have the opportunity to meet the boss."

He thought to himself, I’m afraid you don’t know that I call Audrey Hepburn ‘the third mother’, and Audrey Hepburn is my elder.

Jerry immediately said exaggeratedly: "Oh my god! In order to get close to Audrey Hepburn, you are willing to put down your identity and work in a hotel project department."

My friends all laughed!

Only Lin Ruihuan could only smile awkwardly. This joke is not funny at all.

But being mature, he did not get angry.

The ignorant are not guilty!

What's more, it can be seen that the third mother is still a 'goddess' in the hearts of Americans, and he admires his father's charm even more!

Of course, he doesn't need this kind of charm!

The turmoil quickly subsided, because Lin Ruihuan didn't answer, so everyone stopped teasing.

evening.

On the Harvard campus, Lin Ruihuan made an appointment with Luo Huijun.

The two have known each other for more than three months, and Lin Ruihuan has been pursuing Luo Huijun. Now the relationship between man and woman has not been confirmed.

In this regard, Lin Ruihuan is nothing like his father.

Fortunately, Luo Huijun also has a good impression of Lin Ruihuan, which prevents Lin Ruihuan from being a "dog licker" in future generations.

"Huijun, I have received my diploma and am about to leave Harvard!"

Lin Ruihuan suddenly changed his title from 'Luo Xuemei' to 'Huijun', which was considered a showdown.

Luo Huijun paused, then became a little shy and said, "Congratulations to Senior Lin, for graduating successfully and finding a good job in New York."

Lin Ruihuan's general Luo Huijun didn't feel disgusted, and showed his courage and said: "Huijun, let's make friends?"

After graduation, if you don’t express your love, how long will it take?

If you let your father know that you are like this, I'm afraid the family will take care of you!

However, Lin Ruihuan felt that he enjoyed this little increase in emotional communication.

Luo Huijun turned her head, looked into Lin Ruihuan's eyes, and suddenly said playfully: "Aren't we friends?"

Lin Ruihuan's heart was filled with excitement, and he took out the courage to try to hold Luo Huijun's hand.

Luo Huijun struggled symbolically and then agreed to Lin Ruihuan. In her eyes, Lin Ruihuan has good character, good abilities, and good interpersonal relationships. He is a boy who can be socialized.

"I mean, let's be boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"

"Fool, you've already held my hand, why do you need to ask again?"

Lin Ruihuan smiled like a big boy and said, "Isn't this the hope of clarifying the relationship?"

The two of them walked like this for a few steps. Lin Ruihuan suddenly stopped, then looked at Luo Huijun and said sincerely: "Huijun, I have something to tell you. Because you are my girlfriend now, so I don't want to hide it. What - my father's name is Lin Chichao, and he is a very wealthy entrepreneur in Hong Kong. He is engaged in shipping, real estate, industry and other industries. And I went to work in New York under the arrangement of my family to exercise my abilities. In the end, I want to return to the family business in Hong Kong."

After saying that, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the years, he has never confessed his identity in school. Even if a friend asked, he would just say that his father was a Hong Kong businessman.

Now that he has graduated, he finally tells this secret, of course to his girlfriend, because he is worried that one day Luo Huijun will think that he is cheating.

Luo Huijun was surprised, and then said: "Oh, so your father is so famous. I know that he is the world's shipping king and has come to Harvard to give a speech."

Lin Ruihuan looked at Luo Huijun's expression and said happily: "Yes. But don't worry, I am sincerely dating you. I am telling you today, but I don't want us to have misunderstandings in the future."

Luo Huijun nodded and said confidently: "You were right to tell me! Although my father is just an ordinary person, I won't have anything to worry about."

She feels that Lin Ruihuan comes from a family of such a well-known entrepreneur, but is very approachable, which is really good.

As for what to worry about? She didn't think it was necessary, because she knew Lin Ruihuan well, he was not a pampered, domineering rich man.

Lin Ruihuan said with a smile: "I feel relieved after telling this secret! And since you don't mind, I finally feel relieved."

Luo Huijun asked curiously: "Why do you think I would mind?"

Lin Ruihuan squeezed Luo Huijun's hand, and then said sincerely: "I'm very worried that you will think that I am a playboy, a pampered second generation!"

Luo Huijun said with a smile: "No way! Although I have only known you for more than three months, I can see that you don't have those shortcomings. Don't worry, I won't have that impression of you!"

Lin Ruihuan was in a very good mood immediately - Luo Huijun didn't have that kind of impression on him, and this girl didn't have the 'uncalmness' of ordinary girls, she just had a very ordinary heart, which he admired very much.

He is finally officially dating!

Unfortunately, he will soon be leaving Boston for New York.

So while having dinner in the cafeteria, Lin Ruihuan said: "After arriving in New York, I will call you often! If I am not busy at work, I will take time to see you!"

Luo Huijun ate her meal gracefully and said softly: "I know that working in New York will definitely be a test for you, so you should try your best to contact me on the phone without affecting your work. If you have free time, come to Harvard to see me!"

Gentle and considerate, this is the girl he is looking for, Lin Ruihuan thought.

Three days later.

Lin Ruihuan came to Audrey Investment Company to report that Audrey Hepburn personally presided over the establishment of the 'New York Hyatt Hotel (Train Station)' project.

"This Mr. Lin Ruihuan is the representative of another investor in this project, so I appointed him as the deputy project manager. Kerry, I hope you will cooperate well."

Lin Ruihuan was stunned, thinking, shouldn't he start from the grassroots level? Could it be the boss's intention? It must be the case. The third mother will not decide her own affairs without permission.

Project manager Kerry nodded and said, "Mr. Lin has been involved in this project for a long time. Although he is young, I believe that a top graduate from Harvard University must have real abilities."

He was also surprised. He thought Lin Ruihuan was just an ordinary intern valued by his boss, but he didn't expect that he would now be promoted to a representative of the partners. But if he is a partner, why does all the equity in this project belong to Audrey Investment Company?

Unless they are the children of the boss's other project partners, who were introduced to the company for training.

Although he was surprised, he was the first to express his goodwill. After all, it was the boss's will.

Lin Ruihuan could only stand up calmly and said: "Colleagues, please take care of me in the future!"

This project was won a year and a half ago, but has been in the design and planning stage. Lin Ruihuan already understood that it was his father who controlled everything.

And this project is a touchstone for him!

The planning and design approval of the project has been finalized and the formal construction phase will begin. He only has two years, so do the best he can.

After the meeting, Audrey Hepburn asked Lin Ruihuan to go to her office.

In this way, many people know that Lin Ruihuan has a close relationship with Audrey Hepburn. The son of an important partner? Or maybe

"Rui Huan, this appointment is based on your father's instructions. He said that people at the grassroots level cannot be trained. I hope you will become one of the leaders of this project. You have to do all aspects of the work yourself, I can't help you!"

"Thank you, Third Mom. I will definitely get along well with my colleagues and do this job well!"

Lin Ruihuan respectfully promised.

"I believe in you. You are the best son in our family and a role model for your younger siblings. When I was a kid, my younger sibling made a mistake during the summer vacation. Your father was the first person to educate me. I don't even understand this approach! "

"It's me who didn't take good care of my younger siblings! And this approach will also help my younger siblings not make mistakes again."

Audrey Hepburn couldn't help but sigh, Chinese education is really amazing. If his own son makes a mistake, if Lin Ruihuan is around, his man will give him a good education while his own son will watch from the side. The consequence of this is that his own son is embarrassed and can only admit his mistake.

She didn't understand it very well, but she thought the effect was really useful.

After Lin Ruihuan left.

Audrey Hepburn couldn't help but smile. Recently, she has set off a wave of "Hepburn style" in the business world, which has also shocked the technology world.

It turns out that Atari's arcade machines have achieved unprecedented success, with 3,500 arcade machines sold worldwide in three months, and this sales volume continues to increase. More importantly, Atari games started the wave of ‘video games’.

She couldn't help but wonder to what extent Audrey Company would develop. Under the guidance of her man, the prospects seemed to be very bright; when her eldest son grew up, she could train him to develop in Audrey Company. .

Cheung Kong Holdings.

Lin Zhichao, Huang Changhong, Jason, Liang Guangchang and other senior executives are discussing the design plan of Shangri-La Hotel (Hong Kong) in the conference room.

At this time, Shangri-La Hotel Group has not separated from the Yangtze River Industrial Group. This will happen next year or the year after. Moreover, as long as they are not listed, these companies are affiliated to the Yangtze River Industrial Group.

Shangri-La Hotel (Hong Kong) is located to the west of Raffles City (the former site of the Navy Dockyard), on the seaside in Connaught Road Central. Even in the future, after the military barracks building is built, it will still not block the sea view.

This hotel, also called the ‘Hong Kong Burj Al Arab’, is 50 stories tall and has a floor area of ​​approximately 800,000 square feet. The appearance is like a curved sailboat, but it is not like the later Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai. Because the cost was too high, Lin Zhichao was reluctant to use a steel structure and steel beam structure, and the area was also insufficient (it covers an area of ​​just over 40,000 square feet).

Therefore, the overall structure is made of reinforced concrete, but it becomes curved from the middle. The entire building is not square, and the beauty of curves is fully utilized. The entire exterior is a glass curtain wall, the same color as the sea.

When completed, this building will be the tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong and the tallest skyscraper in Asia. The overall construction cost is as high as 300 million Hong Kong dollars. You must know that the previous 52-story Jardine House cost only 140 million Hong Kong dollars.

Even the two Far East Financial Center Towers AB in this generation cost less than HK$200 million in total.

Of course, the Burj Al Arab is a hotel building, so the construction cost is high, and the decoration cost alone is already quite high.

"I see no problem with this design plan. Later, Vice President Huang will be the project leader, and Jason and Paul will be the project deputies. We will strive to officially start construction early next year and open in 1975."

Jason is a British man, the vice president of Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, general manager of Shangri-La Hotel (Singapore), and president of Shangri-La Hotel Management Company. He joined Cheung Kong Holdings in his early years and served as the general manager of Miramar Hotel.

Paul Li is Chinese, but his name looks like a foreigner. He is the general manager of Poly Construction. The building was built by Poly Construction Company, but it hired a consulting construction company. The designer of this building is a European architectural design company.

"no problem"

"no problem"

Everyone is excited. Once this building is completed, it will become a world-class famous building and will shine throughout the 1970s.

Next, Lin Zhichao asked: "How is the situation at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore?"

Jason shook his head and said: "It is a little far from the ideal state. It is not our problem, but Singapore's economy is not as good as Hong Kong's."

Foreigners speak a bit directly, but it is indeed true!

Lin Zhichao said nonchalantly: "Yeah. Just in time, you are planning to list this hotel separately in Singapore next year to raise funds to prepare for the second phase of the project."

Jason nodded and said: "Okay, there is no problem with this! If it goes public, it can raise 30 to 40 million yuan."

Lin Zhichao suddenly said: "The amount of funds raised is not a problem. What we want is a low valuation. If there is even a break after listing, the group will take the opportunity to separate the equity from the Singapore Development Board. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jason immediately said: "Understood! The Singapore Development Authority's equity is two-thirds of ours. The shareholding is too large and it will be a hidden danger in the future."

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "Yes. Through the listing, we will dilute the equity of both parties at the same time and raise the second phase of start-up capital. However, Singapore's economic development has not been very strong in recent years, and the revenue of this hotel It’s not very ideal, so the possibility of a break is very high. You don’t need to do too much, just keep the financial report conservative. At that time, no matter how much it falls, we will take the opportunity to increase our holdings to above 51%.”

It seems that the shareholding has been reduced a lot, but in fact it has distanced itself from the Singapore Development Board. In the later stage, if the Singapore Development Board cashes out, it can naturally continue to increase its holdings to 60%.

Therefore, there are two purposes of listing. The first is to cover the construction costs of the second phase of the project, and the second is to widen the equity gap with the second shareholder.

Of course, the first purpose is the most important.

Media Group.

After learning that Bruce Lee rejected Zou Wenhuai's solicitation, Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter! From your description, this Bruce Lee is arrogant and only values ​​Shaw Brothers movies and looks down on our Golden Harvest movies. But do you think, with Shao Laoliu's character? , will you pamper him?"

Zou Wenhuai was stunned for a moment, and then said confidently: "Impossible! Shaw Brothers movies will not give the green light to anyone, and Uncle Six will not compromise with anyone. This is how Li Hanxiang, a great hero, was defeated in Taiwan. Bruce Lee, let alone in Hollywood, He is just a walk-on, even if he is a starring role in Hollywood, Uncle Six will also follow the company's rules - sign a long-term contract and pay a fixed salary. Uncle Six is ​​very principled and will not make exceptions."

After following Shao Laoliu for so many years, how could Zou Wenhuai not know the truth? However, he did not think about Lin Zhichao's long-term future, but as soon as Lin Zhichao reminded him, he understood that if Bruce Lee came to Hong Kong to film, Jiahe would probably have the most advantage.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "That's right! Don't worry, Bruce Lee will come back sooner or later. When the time comes, he will agree to all the conditions, but he can consider signing a few more movies. No matter what, he will get three movies."

After signing many contracts, Bruce Lee was not a fool. After all, he had been in Hollywood.

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "The boss still knows the world without going out!"

Lin Zhichao said: "I have been to the United States many times. Although I have never met Bruce Lee, I can understand something from your description. Also, you don't have to do grades this year. Take your time, straighten out the relationship with the company, organize an actor training class, etc. Work has to be done, and tall buildings are rising from the ground. Shao Laoliu is very good at cultivating many talents."

Zou Wenhuai said: "Okay!"

Lin Zhichao continued: "I heard that something happened to director Li Hanxiang in Taiwan. Go and try to win over him, and the million Hong Kong dollars will go directly to the company's account. Tell him that we welcome him to Hong Kong at any time to shoot romantic movies, funny and ironic romantic movies. , such as those stupid things done by the Beiyang warlords, we can take dividends."

Zou Wenhuai immediately admired Lin Zhichao's courage and ability!

This month, more than ten checks from the League of Nations bounced, and Li Hanxiang was prosecuted and faced a huge fine.

At this time, Jiahe Films took out funds and said it was a gift. In fact, how could Li Hanxiang not understand that he would return to Hong Kong to make movies and pay off his debts with dividends.

Of course, even if Li Hanxiang doesn't accept the offer, he should understand that Golden Harvest Films is trying to win over them, and it is the first to pay dividends. There is no reason for Li Hanxiang to return to Shaw Brothers.

"What the boss just said seems to be a script?" Zou Wenhuai quickly reacted.

"It can be regarded as the script of "The Great Warlord". This kind of funny revelation about the confusion of the warlords in the Beiyang period can be made by just looking up the information. Of course, this kind of film is naturally the romance film that director Li Hanxiang is good at."

Lin Zhichao will not be directly involved in the script, but it is normal to be reminded!

What's more, he is the boss of Jiahe Films, so even if he is a producer, isn't it normal?

"The boss's idea is really instant! The movie can be produced first this year, and director Li Hanxiang can come back temporarily to film it!"

"No hurry! Let's test Li Hanxiang first to see if he has any ideas to come back. Don't be eager for quick success. If he dares to accept 1 million, I will have no problem giving it to him."

Just a gamble!

After all, Li Hanxiang is a well-known figure, how could he accept a huge sum of one million for no reason.

Even if he accepts it now, when he returns to Hong Kong in the future, will he dare to go to a Shaw Brothers movie? The Chinese people will drown him in saliva.

And by doing this, Lin Zhichao was naturally buying horse bones for a thousand dollars!

What's more, as long as Li Hanxiang returns to Hong Kong to make movies for Jiahe, he can easily earn back one million.

According to Lin Zhichao's approach, the Shaw Brothers movies of the 1970s would probably have nothing to offer.

"OK"

Lin Zhichao added: "Jiahe Film supports him to return to Hong Kong to establish a film company. He can cooperate with Li Hanxiang and create the first satellite company system."

Zou Wenhuai was surprised again. This boss is awesome!

Li Hanxiang likes to make some art films and literary films, so Jiahe Film invests in it; in return, Li Hanxiang shoots commercial films for Jiahe Film and gets the director's share.

"If Director Li Hanxiang doesn't win over us after we do this, it really means there's something wrong with his vision."

"Haha, to be honest, I have never expected a certain person to drive our Golden Harvest Films! Bruce Lee and Li Hanxiang are both our investment targets."

"Ok, I see!"
