The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

In March, Lin Zhichao came to London and signed a memorandum with the local government.

The Jubilee Line subway line, which has been delayed for several years, has finally been funded by the British Parliament. It has been three years since the first phase of the Canary Wharf project (seven buildings) was completed.

In the past three years, the Canary Wharf Group has not stopped the project, but it has also taken its time, with an attitude of 'you are not in a hurry and I am not in a hurry'.

Although Canary Wharf has invested up to 4 billion U.S. dollars (about 50% of the loan), Changchun Group has deep pockets and has earned nearly 3.5 billion U.S. dollars in the British financial sector.

Therefore, the Canary Wharf Group under the leadership of Cheung Kong Group is completely fighting a protracted war with the British government.

Why do you want to fight a protracted war with the British government?

The reason is simple. The Canary Wharf project is not only a large-scale commercial real estate project, but also a part of Britain's financial ambitions. In addition, such a huge "unfinished project" is very harmful to the British business environment. negative influence.

Of course, if it were any other company, it would have been dragged out of business by Britain's slow actions!

On the contrary, Cheung Kong Group has used Canary Wharf Group to make some money in the financial field in recent years.

Canary Wharf.

London Mayor John led officials to inspect the project, and Lin Zhichao and Canary Group President Combs entertained them.

Although the British Parliament passed the Jubilee Line subway this time, it also cost the Canary Wharf Group a fortune and requires an investment of approximately US$500 million. After all, in the view of the British government, building the Jubilee Line branch to Canary Wharf is actually not feasible. The above is making money for the Canary Wharf Group.

Although it was a bit of a hooliganism, after all, this was Thatcher's promise of conquest back then, but Lin Zhichao also understood that once the emperor and the ministers agreed, they negotiated and agreed last year.

Since the time has been delayed for three years, the construction cost has increased again, and the total investment is expected to be as high as 8.5 billion US dollars.

Overseas investment is indeed a lot of trouble!

Of course, Lin Zhichao did not show all this trouble on his face, but was chatting and laughing with the Mayor of London.

John smiled and said: "There are already a lot more workers in Canary Wharf, Mr. Lin, President Combs, are you right?"

The implication is that the slow construction in the past few years has affected London's reputation.

Combs said: "We have stepped up the construction schedule this year and must complete it one year ahead of the Jubilee Line branch."

John said in surprise: "Really? The Jubilee Line branch is expected to be completed in 1999, but can it be completed here in 1998?"

Combs said confidently: "No problem!"

It is obvious that Combes is missing some cities.

As expected, John changed direction and said to Lin Zhichao with a smile: "Mr. Lin, have you lost confidence in this project in the past few years?"

He was joking, but he was trying to exploit Lin Zhichao's "little conspiracy" - and the British government.

Lin Zhichao did not blame Combs. After all, politicians have more thoughts, and Combs is more of a talented architect and real estate manager.

He also generously answered John's question: "No, it's just that the entire European and American economy was not ideal in the past few years, so appropriate adjustments are necessary!"

Of the seven skyscrapers that have been renovated, only two have been rented out in total. Do you think I’m stupid for building 22 buildings at once?

"Haha, Mr. Lin is indeed the best businessman in the world!"

Mayor John's words were recognized by the people around him. To put it bluntly, if we were to select the greatest businessmen of the 20th century, Lin Zhichao would definitely be ranked in the top ten. And if he is a businessman in the world who is still alive, Lin Zhichao must be ranked first.

First of all, Lin Zhichao has become the world's richest man; secondly, Lin Zhichao's industry is very diversified and global; finally, Lin Zhichao is a typical self-made man who became famous very early.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said nothing!

Next, John said: "Mr. Lin, the UK is very sincere in passing the Jubilee Line this time. You know, our traffic in London is already very congested, and we don't even have the funds to solve this problem!"

The implication is that you have to do this project well!

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "London's traffic is really crowded, but I have a plan. Would Mayor John want to hear it?"

John immediately said: "Of course! I would be very happy if someone gave me an idea!"

The surrounding foreign devils all paid attention and pricked their ears to wait for Lin Zhichao's plan.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "The city entry fee has been officially levied. Vehicles entering an 8-mile radius of central London will be charged a fee. Although this is the first city in the world to implement a plan, I believe it is a very simple and effective method. , if implemented in London, it will also become a model."

This is the ‘Nobel Prize’ plan!

As expected, the officials present began to think about it. This plan seemed to attract opposition, but in fact it was extremely 'feasible'.

John was the first to react and said: "Mr. Lin, your idea is very good, we will take it into consideration seriously!"

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "That's great! Of course, if our Canary Wharf is fully put into use, it can also appropriately alleviate London's traffic."

"certainly"

Although Canary Wharf can provide some relief, London traffic continues to deteriorate after all.

After sending John and other officials away, Lin Zhichao held a meeting with Combs and the senior executives of the Canary Wharf Group.

“Do you have any suggestions about the increased costs at Canary Wharf?”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone made suggestions one after another.

"BOSS, the company's funds can still support it for 1 to 2 years. Later, it can raise funds through listing."

"Canary Wharf is already in sight of victory. I believe some debtors are willing to swap debt for equity and can use their funds in this way."

Combs seemed to be a roundworm in Lin Zhichao's heart. At this time, he stood up and said: "Hong Kong Hengfeng Bank is Canary Wharf's largest creditor. If the boss wants to, he can swap debt for equity."

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "Hengfeng Bank does not need a debt-for-equity swap, but it can inject US$2 billion to obtain about 30% of the equity of Canary Wharf Group. We will consider debt-for-equity swap later when the value of this project increases. , introducing new shareholders. As for listing, there is no need to rush!”

The reason why some shareholders were introduced later was because it could increase the weight of the project; what's more, Canary Wharf Group is not unlisted. Lin Zhichao plans to go public from 1999 to 2000 to raise funds to continue developing the surrounding areas of Canary Wharf. land; and also relies on Canary Wharf Group to develop commercial real estate in Europe.

Soon, the strategy of the Canary Wharf Group was determined.

The private plane sailed from London to Los Angeles, and Lin Zhichao, Monica Bellucci and Christina were having a party on the second floor. In order to get Lin Zhichao's love, Christina tied up with Monica Bellucci and sent them to her door regularly.

And Monica Bellucci not only got a real man, but also got wealth. She has naturally become Lin Zhichao's forbidden love.

Of course, Lin Zhichao did not want to acquire Monica Bellucci, he simply regarded her as his plaything, so he did not think about leaving an heir. He already has ten illegitimate children, so he has no plans to have any more!

Monica was lying in Lin Zhichao's arms, holding a red wine glass in her hand, with a slightly drunk face, immersed in this comfortable environment. She was wearing a skirt with thin black silk covering her legs, and then she put one leg on Lin Zhichao's thigh.

The scene is quite hot!

Christina on the other side also dressed herself up like a lady, very sexy, but she didn't get close to her again. She knew that her temptation was not enough, so she only waited for Lin Zhichao to become interested, and he would naturally spur her hard.

"Mr. Lin, you are really busy!" Monica said seductively, licking her red lips.

She was very interested in Lin Zhichao, especially Lin Zhichao's male side, which made her feel that people are really different from each other. It’s hard to believe that an ‘old man’ in his sixties has a more energetic side than a young man. Of course, Lin Zhichao also has a charm that fascinates Westerners.

As for money, Lin Zhichao didn't give it to Monica at all, Christina paid for it.

Lin Zhichao put a hand on Monica's beautiful black stocking legs, feeling the youthful charm, but she was very relaxed. At his age and well-informed, this situation is like a little Kashi.

To put it bluntly, it’s sophistication!

Unlike young people who are in a hurry, they are also in a hurry when waiting, so that women cannot enjoy much happiness at all.

Of course, Lin Zhichao actually looks less than forty years old, very young, so his appearance does not have the greasiness of an old man, but has the charm of a mature, elegant, and gentleman.

Lin Zhichao said casually: "Yes, I am very busy. After all, I have to take care of you two at once!"

Monica blushed, even though she was naturally charming, she couldn't stand the 'old man's' actions and words, and his youthful appearance. But she quickly said: "I'm talking about work. Of course, I know you are usually a romantic man."

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "You are wrong, I am a very dedicated man!"

Monica immediately said: "I don't believe it!"

Lin Zhichao said: "You should believe me, because I have always liked 20-year-old girls and it has never changed!"

"Haha. So that's it! Aren't you worried that Miss Tina will be angry?" Monica was curious.

According to her understanding, Christina gave birth to two children for Lin Zhichao, which is understandable of course - because she also thinks that Lin Zhichao is very charming and there is no problem in being his lover. But the problem is that Christina, the lover, has done something wrong. After all, she is also the "female shipping queen" of Europe, so her status is not so low!

Lin Zhichao said: "Tina was 20 years old, not to mention she looks young now!"

Christina on the side immediately sent a kiss!

When she met Lin Zhichao, she was only over 23 years old. Although she had a failed marriage, she was indeed young. Lin Zhichao didn't take her seriously before, and it was enough to meet her three or four times a year.

But as Christina's abilities emerged, she gained the recognition of Lin Zhichao through self-improvement - mastering the wealth of the Onassis family and carrying it forward, and the two parties established a business alliance.

Lin Zhichao plans to form a "family office" alliance between the 'Lin Zhichao Family', 'The Hepburn Family (Lin's Branch)' and the 'Onassis Family (Lin's Branch)'.

Although members of the Hepburn family are all in the Lin Family Office, they are officially the Hepburn family after all; moreover, Audrey Hepburn plans to incorporate some of her wealth into the Hepburn Family Office.

"Mr. Lin, you are really good at coaxing women!"

"Ha ha"

Afterwards, Christina stood up, then pulled Monica up, and the two began to dance in front of Lin Zhichao, and they interacted from time to time, and the room suddenly heated up a lot.

Although Christina is also 44 years old, she has also benefited from Lin Zhichao's glory. She is more than ten years younger, so she is still young.

Of course, the most gorgeous one is Monica. She is wearing a low-cut pink skirt at this time, which outlines her hot figure; her long legs are wrapped in black stockings, which is endlessly tempting.

In addition, the two women had gone crazy and started biting each other, making the scene even more tense.

but.

For Lin Zhichao, it is still a small scene. He has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he reveal his true colors easily.

He appreciated that in the end, he maintained a gentlemanly manner and came to the middle of the dance floor to join everyone.

In an office building in Los Angeles, Lin Zhichao was sitting in his office, listening to Zou Kaixuan's work report.

In September last year, the Chang'an Street project in Beijing was aborted. It was not that there were no investors in Hong Kong, but that Zou Kaixuan made the biggest decision in her life - to abandon the project in Beijing and follow Lin Zhichao.

Of course, Zou Kaixuan also thought that the total investment of the Chang'an Street project in the capital would require tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and not many Hong Kong rich people would be willing to believe her; especially after Lin Zhichao gave up, the Dong family also chose to give up. Dong Jianhua thought that Lin Zhichao was not optimistic about this, so this The project's prospects are really not good.

"Matrix Capital has acquired 80% of Blizzard's equity for US$1 million. The two founders said that as long as we support their research and development work, we can recruit the president in the future, but he must be an American with rich management experience. "Zou Kaixuan said vigorously.

She has been in the United States for half a year, and the only acquisition project is Blizzard, which was hand-picked by her boss.

Lin Zhichao nodded with satisfaction. Blizzard released "Warcraft: Humans and Orcs" in January this year and has more than a dozen employees.

"Well, Blizzard doesn't need a president yet, so don't worry about it for now!"

What Lin Zhichao thinks is that in a few years, he will introduce Atari; after that, he will sell his shares to Atari.

Atari, the parent company of Sega, is currently a comprehensive enterprise engaged in game software, program production, and entertainment planning, and is a subsidiary of Audrey Corporation.

Next, Lin Zhichao said: "Next, you have to continue to study, especially pay attention to the development of the Internet in the United States and seek investment opportunities!"

Zou Kaixuan asked curiously: "Can you really make money on the Internet?"

In 1992, the International Internet Society was established, and Hong Kong joined NSFNET in 1991.

But indeed, no one ever said that you can make money on the Internet.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "Fresh things are definitely the most profitable."

He thought about entrusting the investment in the Internet to Zou Kaixuan, and Lin Zhichao gave him a little reminder. Whether he can invest or not depends entirely on Zou Kaixuan's ability.

In this way, in the future, everyone will only say that Zou Kaixuan is Lin Zhichao's good helper and introduce Lin Zhichao, a rich man, to invest in the Internet. No, regard Lin Zhichao as an all-powerful person. Of course, some Internet projects can even be introduced to Lin Zhichao’s sons for investment to spread the influence.

Zou Kaixuan became more confident this time. She felt the charm of the 'legendary businessman' from Lin Zhichao.

"Well, I won't let you down!"

Lin Zhichao appreciated it, this woman did have a way of doing things, and he always cherished talents! (End of chapter)
