Hong Kong's new giants

"dong dong"

"please come in"

"Boss, Zheng Sheng is here!"

Lin Zuhui got up from his seat and greeted Zheng Jiachun with a smile.

"Why come to my office, just make an appointment to play together on weekends!" Lin Zuhui patted Zheng Jiachun on the shoulder and said enthusiastically.

Although he is busy, but friends have appointments, and he will try his best to attend the appointments.

Zheng Jiachun said with a smile: "I'm looking for you to discuss business matters, besides, I also want to come to your place to pay my respects and absorb the good luck of the world's highest commercial command."

"Haha, sit down!"

The two sat down on the sofa and sipped tea.

Zheng Jiachun is 20 years older than Lin Zuhui, plus he is bald and looks old. He was said by the media to be Zheng Yutong's brother; occasionally walking with Lin Zuhui, he can't tell that he is a friend of the same generation.

"Tell me, what business is it?"

Zheng Jiachun said seriously: "Are you interested in the Regent Hotel in the New World Center?"

Lin Zuhui was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Of course I am interested, why did you think of selling it?"

In fact, he already understood that the New World Group could no longer withstand this wave of financial crisis.

New World Group can only rank fifth in the field of developers in Hong Kong, and it is far from the fourth Henderson, with only 1000 residential units a year, while the top four developers supply 4000 residential units a year above.New World Group also has very little land reserves, and its development costs are higher than those of the four major developers.It is precisely because New World Group likes to invest in rental properties and hotels that its scale lags behind the top four real estate developers for a long time.

The development of real estate (residential) has an advantage, that is, "goods are in rotation", and there are profits to be made even in the real estate trough; coupled with the cheap land of the land reserve, it can be said that the real estate trough still has a good performance.

New World Group developed two commercial complexes, 'New World Center' and 'Convention Center'. The project is indeed large, but it also took up a lot of funds, resulting in falling behind Sun Hung Kai, Cheung Kong, and Henderson.

Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoji understand a truth very well, they rarely work as rent collectors in the middle and early stages.

Zheng Jiachun briefly talked about New World's financial situation, saying that he needed to sell this property to survive this cold winter; even, New World's subsidiaries had to start reorganizing to avoid financial drag.

Lin Zuhui nodded. He seemed to remember that the Regent Hotel was indeed sold to the InterContinental Hotel in his previous life.

"The Regent Hotel is one of my fondest memories. Jiahui and I frequented it back then. Let's set a price and we'll buy it."

The first time he and Guan Jiahui had a room together, wasn't it at the Regent Hotel!

The Regent Hotel was also very famous in the previous life. Zhou Xingchi's movies and Jay Chou's works were used as scenic spots, which were later acquired by InterContinental Hotels and changed to "InterContinental Hotels".

"Well, I know you are refreshing, we have already discussed the price, and we will sell it for 27.2 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

"It's a deal! Good things can't be bargained." Lin Zuhui readily agreed, but the fact is true. If this price is sold to InterContinental Hotel or Marriott Hotel, others will still buy it.

In fact, the Zheng family is very powerful, but they don't like to spend the family's money on the Regent Hotel.

The Zheng family holds about 1% of the shares of New Times Group and about 3% of the shares of Media Group, worth more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Moreover, the Zheng family's Chow Tai Fook Enterprise has huge assets and holds a high share of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry.

Of course, more than 27 billion Hong Kong dollars is not an easy win for such a family, and the hotel is not a high-return investment. Compared with the Zheng family, they did not consider taking it privately.

Unlike Lin Zuhui, he easily ate it.

Of course, it was purchased by Langting Hotel, which happened to renovate the Regent Hotel and change it into Langting Hotel for operation.

After Zheng Jiachun left, Lin Zuhui called Chen Bin, the president of New Era Group, over.

"Just now Zheng Jiachun from New World came. They intend to sell the Regent Hotel. We have negotiated a price of 27.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. You can arrange the following things."

A gleam of joy appeared on Chen Bin's face, and he said, "No problem! After the acquisition, we can carry out major renovations and then open our Langting Hotel."

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Well, I think so too. You can communicate with Jonathan later and transfer it to Langting Hotel."

"Ok, no problem!"

Langham Hospitality Group has 86 five-star hotels (including properties) in the world, and Miramar Hotel Group (privatized) under its umbrella. The entire hotel group is worth more than 200 billion US dollars.

Currently, the 'Langham Hotel Group' owns a five-star hotel in Cyberport in the south of Hong Kong Island, as well as the 'Furama Hotel' in Central, half of which is owned by 'Hengjin Real Estate', which is a company owned by Wang Lingyin of.

There is also the 'New Era Sea View and Conference Hotel' in 'Tsuen Wan Center'. Although this hotel has thousands of hotel rooms and is the largest in Hong Kong, it is in Tsuen Wan after all, and its location is more or less not up to the mark.

The latest plan of Langham Hospitality Group in Hong Kong is to set up the "Ritz-Carlton Hotel" on some floors of the tallest building above Kowloon Station, but it is expected to open after 2008.

"By the way, I plan to dismantle the Furama Hotel and rebuild it into an office building. You can do it and build a first-class beautiful building."

Chen Bin nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to set up a project team right away."

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "The main one is the Four Seasons Hotel in IFC. It is expected to open by the end of next year. I have no shortage of places to go."

In the entire IFC, there is only the Four Seasons Hotel and serviced apartments, and there are no China Merchants Hotels in the two high-rise office buildings.

Chen Bin smiled. The Furama Hotel was described by the media as the owner's "family shop", and the owner also liked to entertain guests and organize banquets there.

Now Hong Kong's top luxury hotel, the Four Seasons Hotel, will open at the end of next year, and the owner is one of the three major shareholders of the Four Seasons Hotel, so there is naturally a new place to go.Of course, the hotel ownership belongs to the New Times Group, so it is naturally the owner's hotel.

"The Regent Hotel has undergone major renovations and is expected to open in 2004. The boss has another place to go."

"It is!"

……

……

Langham Hospitality Group spent 27.2 billion Hong Kong dollars to purchase the Regent Hotel under New World Group, which sparked a wave of public opinion in Hong Kong.

"New World Group used to have four five-star hotels, but now they have sold two of them. It's really..."

"The Marriott Hotel in the Convention and Exhibition Center only sold part of the equity, not a complete sale. However, the Regent Hotel has 27.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, but all the ownership has been sold."

"That's it! However, the New Times Group has been very active in the real estate industry in Xiangjiang in recent years. Does this prove that real estate can buy bottoms? And I heard that Mr. Lin Zuhui's confidante, Li Jiaxin, also bought a lot of properties in the past few years. For example, Tung Ying Building and Sogo Building in Tsim Sha Tsui. Judging from this situation, Mr. Lin Zuhui must be optimistic about the future of Hongkong Property. What do you think?"

"Well, it's hard to say! It's not that I doubt the future of real estate, but who knows how long this real estate downturn will last. Most people really don't dare to speculate in real estate now!"

"I think it's time to start, I'll try to buy the bottom! (Try and die, and SAS hasn't come yet)"

……

Lin Zuhui and Guan Jiahui came to the Regent Hotel in the New World Center, attracting countless eyes along the way.

"Every time you come out with me, it's like walking on the red carpet!" Lin Zuhui turned his head and said to Guan Jiahui who was holding his arm. Although there was a hint of 'blame' in his tone, Lin Zuhui actually enjoyed it very much.

I saw Guan Jiahui wearing a long black dress with a belt, outlining a graceful figure, revealing fair and delicate skin, coupled with her beautiful face and beautiful hair, she is a top-notch 'pay less'.No one would say that she is 40 years old, she looks like a woman who is 27 or [-] years old.

Guan Jiahui held her hand tighter, as if hanging on, and said slyly: "I'm dating the world's richest man alone, of course I have to dress up nicely and solemnly, so as not to embarrass you! Look, many people envy me !"

She acted like a little woman, and her words were like honey, which made Lin Zuhui feel very good.

Under the guidance of the restaurant manager, the two came to a dining table facing the sea.

Seeing Lin Zuhui and Guan Jiahui, the hotel staff murmured in their hearts that the new boss came to inspect so soon.

Everyone in Hong Kong knew that the Regent Hotel had changed owners, and the hotel staff were naturally very happy. After all, the New Era Group was much stronger, and the prospect of joining Langham Hospitality Group was much greater, and they might even be able to work abroad.

In fact, what they didn't know was that the hotel was about to undergo a major renovation and a lot of people would have to be fired.

"Ah Hui, the first time we were at the Regent Hotel, I didn't expect to go around and go around, you just bought it now." Guan Jiahui leaned forward, leaning closer to Lin Zuhui and said.

That touch of spring, even old couples will be moved.

"You still remember!" Lin Zuhui said casually.

"Then how can I forget, I remember every moment! Look, what day am I still wearing the same outfit today, and your favorite black stockings!"

Guan Jiahui showed it, and it really looked like when it was first opened that year. In fact, she was still very girlish at that time, but now she has a less-paying style, and of course she is more beautiful.

"You have a heart, and you know why I brought you here for dinner today!"

"Hee hee, let's develop it later, shall we?"

Guan Jiahui came up again and said in a low voice.

Lin Zuhui didn't comment or not, the woman immediately understood that this man's heart was moved, although she knew that she would have to suffer later, but it was a painful and happy thing.

"This hotel needs a major renovation, so this time I'll take you to recall it. It will be called Langting Hotel in the future."

"That's really great. When we return to Hong Kong, our hotels will be everywhere, Furama, Four Seasons Hotel, Langting Hotel. Wow, there are three places to go."

"Look how proud you are!"

"Of course, although I don't hold shares, I have a family view. It belongs to the Lin family. I feel like it's my own hotel."

This woman is quite sensible, and she is not favored in vain.

As soon as she praised her in her heart, Guan Jiahui quickly fell into an old habit.

"Husband, Jiaxin's business is very big. Sogo Department Store is going to open a branch in the 'Miramar Center' and in the mainland. THE ONE will be completed in more than a year..."

Lin Zuhui said angrily, "Why are you always comparing yourself to her?"

Guan Jiahui asked back as a matter of course: "Then you always let me and her be you, why?"

Lin Zuhui was speechless immediately, this woman refuted him so much that he couldn't speak. Of course, he did like Guan Jiahui and Li Jiaxin a little bit.

"Hehe, I'm kidding you, Jiaxin and I are sisters. Besides, I also have a super office building in Manhattan, so I won't be jealous of her! Really, it's just to make you happy. My two women are jealous , you really like it." Guan Jiahui said playfully.

Lin Zuhui looked at her angrily, and the woman looked at him coquettishly and responded.

It's good, come out once in a while for a romantic time alone!

After eating, the two really opened the best suite. After the bodyguard checked it, the two became restless.

Putting Guan Jiahui on the sofa, Lin Zuhui took off her high heels, and after pushing up the skirt, a pair of black silk legs were perfectly displayed.

Not to mention, this woman's legs are really beautiful, even if Li Jiaxin's legs are longer than hers, they are inferior to Guan Jiahui's overall.

Guan Jiahui looked at Lin Zuhui admiringly sliding on his lap, and she already felt that she was about to...hold the sofa tightly with both hands...biting her lips lightly...Meimu looked at the person she loved the most...

But when Lin Zuhui raised his head to look at Guan Jiahui, he couldn't help being touched. The woman's snow-white and delicate skin was half exposed, and her expression was about to bloom...

At this moment, he pounced on it.

Chapter 722 [Help A Dou Hard]

That night, Lin Zuhui came to Pok Fu Lam's 'Cyberport' on a whim.

When he got out of the car and held a building in Cyberport, he saw the bright lights, and he couldn't help showing a smile.

The lights are brightly lit at night, which shows a problem. Cyberport is an extremely successful project, and it also symbolizes the development of Hong Kong's technology industry.

Xiaomi Technology is a technology giant in Hong Kong and a world technology giant. Although its R&D headquarters is in Pengcheng, it also has nearly [-] employees in Hong Kong Cyberport.

In the game industry in Hong Kong, there are about 3000 employees, almost all of whom work in Cyberport. The ninth city alone has more than 1600 employees.

The IT company in Cyberport employs nearly 5000 people, representing companies such as Sina.com, ICQ branch, SUNeVision.com, TOM.com, priceline (Asia), YAHOO (Hong Kong)...etc.; only Sina.com employs More than 2000 people, after all, it also has other businesses such as web comics and online DVD rental (subsequent video sites).

There is also the telecommunications industry, and several companies choose to work in Cyberport, after all, the rent is cheap.

The entire Cyberport can accommodate 1.5 people for employment, and currently it is probably in the early 1s.

Because the rent of Cyberport is less than half of that of Wan Chai, many companies want to settle in. Unfortunately, Cyberport has strict requirements, that is, it must be a technology company.

At the same time, Jingwei Capital and Heung Kong Telecom have set up a "venture capital fund" in Cyberport to support the technology companies settled here.

Citizens of Hong Kong describe 'Cyberport' as the cradle of Hong Kong's technology and the future of Hong Kong's technology. If someone works here, it is a very proud thing.

In this lifetime, Cyberport has been a great success.

Lin Zuhui walked into an office building and walked towards the Ninth City Company.

The office buildings in the entire Cyberport are not built very high, but they are almost all connected together, forming a 'giant dragon'.

"boss"

When Lin Zuhui pushed into an office, the employees shouted unexpectedly.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Still working overtime?"

Zhang Zhiteng, the person in charge of the development of 'Adventure Island', quickly came to Lin Zuhui's side and said, "Well, the inner side of Adventure Island is coming soon, and the work is a bit tight."

Lin Zuhui nodded. In fact, he knew that when the projects of 'Adventure Island', 'BNB', 'Martin Car' and 'Audition' were established in 2000, these four R&D teams had been working overtime.

After all, it is normal for a large-scale online game to take 3 to 5 years to develop. Of course, if other reasons are considered, it is naturally unnecessary.

For example, Lin Zuhui knows that there are about 100 technicians in the development of "Adventure Island", which naturally saves time compared with a team of 30 to 50 people.

At the same time, having Lin Zuhui as an 'original' game player can also reduce the time for research and development.

"Well, can you let me test it!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
