The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

Deep Water Bay Golf Course.

Lin Zhichao and Li Jiacheng are fighting a war. Now people outside are saying that with the help of Lin Zhichao, Li Jiacheng became one of the top ten plutocrats in Hong Kong.

This is a fact!

Perhaps because of 'Xiao Xu's guilt', Lin Zhichao has been very supportive of Li Jiacheng since he was no longer a threat to him. In this acquisition of Wheelock, Lin Zhichao acted as "HSBC" and asked its banks to lend 1 billion to CK Hutchison Properties. Cheung Kong Group invested another 7.8 billion Hong Kong dollars to invest in Wheelock.

After Li Jiacheng acquired Wheelock Group, he immediately made sufficient internal structures. Therefore, Wheelock's two years were considered a period of silence and did not immediately bring considerable profits to Cheung Kong Group's investment.

However, Li Jiacheng's CK Hutchison Real Estate has jumped to the top, becoming the second largest real estate developer (residential) after Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai, and Henderson, and also surpassed Hang Lung and New World, because these two companies are fully committed to commercial development. real estate projects.

Among them, Hang Lung Properties was so frightened that although it re-signed a development agreement with the MTR Corporation in 1984, the residential properties it developed began to be sold off-plan in large quantities in 1984, resulting in a lot of profit losses; among them, New World Development focused on Wan Chai Convention and Exhibition Center, so real estate developers are also far behind in the development.

In terms of overall evaluation, Lin Zhichao feels that Li Jiacheng is still very powerful and can be appreciated by him.

"Lin Sheng, I plan to sell Lane Crawford!" Li Jiacheng said while playing golf.

It’s not that he wants to cut off this high-quality business, but when he acquired Wheelock Group early last year, it was a highly leveraged acquisition. Although the interest rate in Hong Kong has dropped to 10%, he still knows that there is no benefit in holding on.

Lin Zhichao said: "Well, I'll let people from the Wharf Group discuss it later!"

He did not take the initiative to acquire Lane Crawford. The first reason was that he believed that this asset was not 'essential', and the second reason was that since he was supporting Li Jiacheng, he should not 'disintegrate' his property.

Today, Lin Zhichao is more open-minded. No project is absolutely necessary and he will invest whenever there is opportunity for development.

"Okay, the business of Lane Crawford Department Store and Wharf Group can complement each other. I knew that each of Lin Sheng's five Qilins would be in charge of a department, but now it turns out that it is true."

"Haha, everyone is praising you. Besides, they are both thirty years old, so I can finally relax a little bit. Your two children are not bad either. They are both studying at prestigious universities in the United States. They will also be good successors in the future."

Li Jiacheng was modest. He actually admired Lin Zhichao's skill in raising his children. The key was that he believed that a 'romantic tycoon' like Lin Zhichao could still have a stable family and have his children become talented. This was what made him incredible.

In any case, Li Jiacheng is very grateful to Lin Zhichao for his support. The acquisition of Wheelock is equivalent to controlling a large number of high-quality assets, including four high-quality buildings in Central and multiple rental properties. This alone (real estate) has more than doubled the size of the CK Hutchison Group. In addition, Wheelock also has trade, shipping, infrastructure investment, etc.

After Li Jiacheng acquired the Wheelock Group, he began to significantly reduce the fleet because he believed in Lin Zhichao's judgment that there would be no signs of recovery in shipping within five years; in this case, even if the ship is worthless, selling it can save operations. fee.

Now, he has cut off Lane Crawford Department Store. This is a helpless move because Wheelock Group has high debt.

The next day, Lin Zhichao came to the Wharf Group headquarters in Harbor City.

Lin Ruihai came to his office and reported: "Father, I have arranged for the Marco Polo Hotel in Singapore to acquire the Baolong Place Building in Singapore for a total of SGD 100 million (USD 70 million)."

550 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a building in Singapore. This building must be equivalent to a large building in Hong Kong. Baolongfang Building has a total of 24 floors and a total floor area of ​​more than 300,000 square feet. It is a commercial complex building.

Lin Zhichao said: "Well, just buy it! Next, you can talk about Paragon Building. If you can buy it at a reasonable price, and then take the lot behind it, the profit of the entire project will be greatly increased. "

Paragon Tower is located at 290 Orchard Road, and Lin Zhichao is very familiar with it. The later Paragon Shopping Center was a landmark shopping mall in Singapore. Of course, land annexation and reconstruction are still needed at this time.

Lin Ruihai said happily: "Well, I'll give it a try!"

Lin Zhichao warned: "All properties have their own value. If someone imposes added value, there is no need to buy it."

Lin Ruihai nodded and said, "I understand. Singapore's high-quality properties are large and the price is reasonable before we invest."

Lin Zhichao nodded with satisfaction. Those who were rich were the ones invited to invest by various forces. Invest wherever the conditions are good.

Even in Canada, many officials actually came to invite Lin Zhichao to invest, so investing in Husky did not encounter any political obstruction, as long as it was legal.

Then, Lin Zhichao said: "Wheelock Group intends to sell Lane Crawford Department Store. You go and talk about it. If the price is reasonable, we can get it. Although the department store industry is being eroded by supermarkets at this time, Lane Crawford is a century-old company after all. , and may be able to expand overseas and inland in the future.”

Mainland China is definitely going to enter, but high-end department stores like Lane Crawford will probably not be considered until the late 1990s.

Of course, Lane Crawford also has two mid- to low-end department store brands - Da Sun and Dahua Department Store. In addition, Lane Crawford's business has also expanded to interior design, sales of antiques, jewelry, cosmetics, etc., and is the largest department store in Hong Kong. One of the largest retail department store groups.

Lin Ruihai was overjoyed. After all, it was a good opportunity to expand at this time, so he immediately said: "Okay, I will seriously study Lane Crawford Department Store."

Lin Zhichao said: "After the acquisition, we can make layouts in Harbor City, Times Square and Yangtze River Plaza in the future."

It’s so comfortable to own your own property and earn your own money!

"Okay, I'll write it down!"

Later, Lin Ruihai asked: "Father, the transaction of Baolongfang Building was purchased by Marco Polo Hotel in Singapore. Then should we consider increasing the equity of Marco Polo Hotel in Singapore?"

The Marco Polo Hotel in Singapore is a four-star hotel and a listed company. The Marco Polo Group, a subsidiary of the Wharf Group, only holds 45% of the shares. After Lin Ruihai found a suitable property to acquire, Lin Zhichao asked him to arrange for the Marco Polo Hotel in Singapore to purchase it, and he also received a large loan.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Of course we will consider a comprehensive acquisition. Of course, our goal is not to fully privatize it, but to increase our equity."

Lin Ruihai asked tentatively: "Is father planning to take advantage of the low price and make a full acquisition?"

Lin Zhichao said: "Anyway, there is no need to act too hastily. When the opportunity comes, we will naturally acquire it fully. If there is a willingness to sell the business of Paragon Building later, of course it will be acquired by the Wharf Group. After all, the value will be two or three times greater!"

Lin Ruihai nodded and said, "I understand what you mean!"

After acquiring the Bowlong Place Building, Singapore's Marco Polo Hotel actually already has quite a lot of debt. As a result, its stock price will not be much higher, making it suitable for a comprehensive acquisition by the Wharf Group in the future.

A comprehensive acquisition does not mean privatization. As long as the price is "stingier", it may just increase the shareholding to less than 80%. Only when the shareholding is increased to 90% will the privatization be successful and the company be delisted.

Lin Zhishenshan has his own plan, which is to take advantage of the '87 stock market crash' to increase his holdings in listed companies in Singapore.

Later, Lin Zhichao asked: "How was your inspection of the Thai market?"

Lin Ruihai said: "There has been great progress. We found that in order to attract foreign investment, the Thai government gave priority to opening up real estate investment, allowing foreigners to purchase all real estate, and introduced many measures one after another. Next year, we plan to take action, especially in Thailand Bangkok invests in a Times Square.”

At this time, the Thai real estate bubble had not yet begun. It should have been from 1988 to 1995. In those years, there was an annual increase of at least 10 to 40%. This rate of return is already very high and very suitable for investment.

When Lin Ruihai went to Southeast Asia to invest, he naturally had Lin Zhichao's network of contacts. For example, he even received a separate interview with Lawyer Li in Singapore.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you to do, so do it well!"

"Um"

Including Hong Kong Times Square, Lin Ruihai is at the helm, and of course Lin Zhichao's guidance is indispensable. Now that he is investing in real estate in Southeast Asia, Lin Zhichao has more fully delegated power. After all, Lin Ruihai is also in his thirties.

Of course, Lin Zhichao will always pay attention to it. If there is any situation, he will intervene immediately.

In the evening, Lin Zhichao came to the villa in Kowloon Tong. As long as he was in Hong Kong, he would come and stay one night a week. After all, Li Jiaxin could give him a different experience.

Wu Guofang and Li Jiaming are no strangers to Lin Zhichao, and they all get along quite happily. As soon as he returned to the villa, he enjoyed the service and favor of the three women, and he seemed to have the absolute status in the family.

During the dinner, Wu Guofang and Li Jiaming talked about investment matters vividly. In addition to the good performance of properties this year, they also participated in the "Hang Seng Index Futures" this year.

The Hang Seng Index futures was launched in May this year. Lin Zhichao immediately arranged for Victoria Harbor Investment to invest. The investment was not large and would not exceed 2% of the market transaction volume.

By the way, another 10 million Hong Kong dollars were injected into Li Jiaxin's company, allowing her mother and sister to operate the Hang Seng Index on their behalf.

"You two, don't get caught up in it. Investment is risky, so except for following my instructions, don't make decisions privately."

Wu Guofang said with a smile: "How could that be possible? The general manager is yours, how can we hide anything we do from you?"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "Since she works for you, she will naturally listen to you!"

Wu Guofang said: "It's okay to listen to you, we all listen to you!"

It's really weird to say this, he is in a relationship with Li Jiaxin!

Wu Guofang found that he was also a little complacent and quickly lowered his head to eat.

Lin Zhichao was the only one who didn't care. Most women are jealous when it comes to money!

Of course, men also get interested in sex.

"Later, I will inject another 10 million into it. You can use it to buy the December index futures. Remember to go long! In addition, the property can be mortgaged with 10 million Hong Kong dollars to continue buying properties."

The three girls raised their heads one after another, overjoyed!

What's this!

Lin Zhichao also felt that the three women made him feel very comfortable, so he rewarded them as he pleased. What's more, Li Jiaxin will be independent in two years. If she increases her wealth early, Lin Zhichao will also have face.

At this time, the previous three lovers no longer invested heavily in Hong Kong, but moved overseas (currently the Japanese stock market accounts for about half). As for Li Jiaxin's wealth, she first invested it in Hong Kong, and then transferred it overseas after it reached a certain scale.

Li Jiaxin immediately put down her chopsticks, took Lin Zhichao's arm, rested her face on her shoulder, and said arrogantly: "Brother Chao, if you give me so much, you are not afraid that I will dump you in the future!"

Wu Guofang and Li Jiaming were immediately frightened. This daughter/sister is too bold!

Even if I think so, I can’t say it out loud!

Lin Zhichao looked at her sideways and said confidently: "If I can't even conquer a little girl like you, I wouldn't have been in love for decades!"

Li Jiaxin immediately left Lin Zhichao's shoulder and said coquettishly: "I hate it. I'm making a joke to you, but you don't even cooperate!"

This is the feeling he wants, Lin Zhichao said in his heart.

It seems that Li Jiaxin is naive and young, but it gives Lin Zhichao a very good feeling. He needs this youthful spirit to help resist his aging mind.

late at night.

Lin Zhichao slid lightly on Li Jiaxin's long legs. This girl's figure is really very good. With Lin Zhichao's help in this life, she has made up for many shortcomings in her previous life.

As for her character, she will naturally be PUA gradually and eventually become Lin Zhichao's loyal woman. Lin Zhichao's PUA is not to erase nature, but a positive PUA.

"Brother Chao, I've only seen you once this week, and I don't want to fall in love at all!" Li Jiaxin said while looking at the man enjoying her body.

Although this man is older than her, she feels very comfortable and thinks Brother Chao is particularly attractive. In addition to the charm of his appearance, Brother Chao can give her a sense of security, the feeling that he will hold up even if the sky falls.

This feeling makes Li Jiaxin, who has always felt her father's love since she was a child, very obsessed with it.

Lin Zhichao caressed Li Jiaxin's fair thighs. After more than a year of training, the skin became smoother.

Faced with Li Jiaxin's 'problem', Lin Zhichao became PUA: "Jiaxin, don't care about relationships, but should care about the long term. My wives and I have known each other for forty years, and we still feel the same The relationship is very good, it’s this way of getting along.”

Hearing Lin Zhichao's answer, Li Jiaxin couldn't help but retract her legs and said angrily: "I don't believe it! They are all old and yellow, do you still like them!"

Lin Zhichao frowned and said: "Who told you that they are getting older and older? Have you read the newspaper? My wife's current appearance is also graceful and luxurious, at least she looks more than 20 years younger!"

"Liar!"

Lin Zhichao immediately pushed Li Jiaxin down, then held her down and said: "Little girl, if I don't deal with you tonight, I don't know how high the sky is!"

Soon, there will be a good show one after another!

Li Jiaxin, who was still having a bad temper at first, quickly surrendered.

Lin Zhichao did not tell Li Jiaxin that a woman who is good to him will be able to stay young longer. After all, this topic is for people in their twenties.

"Brother Chao, I was wrong, please let me go!"

"What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't be jealous, but I really want you to spend more time with me."

"Don't talk nonsense again, do you hear me?"

"Um"

In the end, Li Jiaxin collapsed on the bed, like a puddle of mud.

Lin Zhichao did not fire the bullet. He was now a little violent. Li Jiaxin's words just now made him deliberately provoke the rage, but he found that Li Jiaxin was not strong enough to hold his teeth.

"You go to bed first, and I'll take a shower. You caused a fire tonight, but you didn't put it out!"

Li Jiaxin raised her eyelids and said weakly: "I didn't know that topic couldn't be discussed, Brother Chao, I won't know it next time!"

"It's good to know!"

Lin Zhichao immediately put a blanket on her body, kissed her forehead, and then turned around and left.

Li Jiaxin immediately closed her eyes with satisfaction, and then a wave of sleep came over her.

Lin Zhichao walked out of the bedroom. He wanted to go to the bathroom to take a shower, but found that Li Jiaming's door was not closed, so he planned to go in and take a look.

He walked into the bedroom and closed the door behind him.

Li Jiaming was lying on the bed. When he saw Lin Zhichao walking in, he immediately said shyly: "Brother Chao, why did you come in!"

Lin Zhichao went straight to Li Jiaming's bed and said, "Jiaxin's body can't bear it, and I want to find you to calm it down!"

Li Jiaming blushed immediately, and then said: "Brother Chao, you are really good at tossing, for more than an hour every time."

Lin Zhichao lifted the blanket, hugged Li Jiaming, and admired it.

The beauty is not bad. After all, she was born from a mother's womb. She has a very good figure, at least she has a model figure. The important thing is that Lin Zhichao hasn't had two flowers in a long time.

"Jiaming, how old are you this year?"

"Brother Chao, we've known each other for so long, and you don't even care that I'm 21 years old!"

"I probably know"

Immediately, Lin Zhichao put his hand into his pajamas!

Can not be done!

The scale is no longer as big as Li Jiaxin's, and Li Jiaxin has been developed by Lin Zhichao and is already very good!

Li Jiaming is only 21 years old. He may still have a chance, but his potential is not very great!

"Have you ever had a boyfriend?"

"We talked about it, but we didn't let him take advantage!"

Lin Zhichao's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain. Although it wasn't very important, it would be great if there was any.

"Come, let me teach you!" (End of Chapter)
