Hong Kong's new giants

Due to the rumors of HSBC’s rights issue flying everywhere, HSBC rarely suspended trading on the 2nd, and pushed forward the time to announce its results; as for the much-anticipated rights issue plan, the rights issue price is 28 yuan, a discount of more than 50% from the closing price before the suspension , that is to say, shareholders can subscribe for new shares at half price; as for the number of shares involved is very large, more than 50 billion new shares are issued, which is equivalent to 29% of the enlarged share capital.

Rich people in the city have expressed their willingness to sub-underwrite the rights issue for HSBC Bank, among which Lin Zuhui also expressed his support.

Although he is also a banker, it does not prevent him from holding about 2% of HSBC shares, and he even plans to increase his holdings to 3% at a low price.

Just when the citizens were concentrating on HSBC, Lin Zuhui's four major listed companies released shocking performance announcements and dividend plans:

新时代集团：2008年度利润为1410亿港币，其中非经常性盈利为660亿港币（来自出售飞机、船只、物业、证券），涉及分红总额为310亿（市值为10500亿）。

Media Group: The profit in 2008 was 202 billion Hong Kong dollars, involving a total of 52 billion Hong Kong dollars in dividends.

LEIT Group: The profit in 2008 was 121 billion Hong Kong dollars, involving a total of 30 billion Hong Kong dollars in dividends.

八达通银行：2008年度利润为52亿美金，非经常性盈利为35亿美金（将200吨黄金出售给私人公司），涉及分红总额为8亿美金。

For a while, the Hong Kong stock market plummeted due to the sharp decline in the annual performance reports of large companies such as HSBC, Cheung Kong Assets, and Sun Hung Kai; while the four major listed companies under Lin Zuhui (Heung Kong Telecom is a public listed company, not a direct holding company) have released After the performance, the Xiangjiang stock market immediately stopped the downward trend and showed a tendency to rebound.

The citizens of Xiangjiang were all shocked and talked about it.

"It doesn't make sense. In the global financial crisis last year, why did New Era Group's profits increase?"

"It's very simple. Didn't the report say that in the first half of last year, New Times Group sold a large number of leased ships and aircraft, and cashed out some properties, and emptied out its securities investment at the beginning of the year... Tell me, how can you sell so many assets? There's no reason not to go up."

"It's still Lin Sheng who is amazing. This keen observation of risks is worthy of being an invincible stock god."

"It's more than amazing. The annual profit of Octopus Bank is almost equal to that of HSBC. The assets of the two companies are very different, and the others make a lot of money. I think I will invest in Octopus Bank in the future." "

"You have to look at this rationally. Octopus Bank is a commercial bank after all. Investing in those is not a long-term solution!"

"Hehe, others didn't invest randomly. They bought spot gold, which is a steady investment. What's more, behind Octopus Bank there are New Times Group, Media Group, LEIT Group, and Xiaomi Technology as alliances. This bank is very stable. , and they don’t expand blindly, they are very stable.”

"Speaking of which, Octopus Bank is really a high-quality stock, and I plan to invest in it."

The performance of Octopus Bank has slapped HSBC in the face, and made HSBC executives worried.

Because Octopus Bank is a very big competition to Hang Seng Bank in Asia. Both are positioned as "personal retail banks" and mainly serve small and medium-sized enterprises; In Octopus Bank, in this way, the deposits of Hang Seng Bank and even HSBC will naturally be greatly affected.

Worries are worries, HSBC has no good strategy, and Xiangjiang was not before the 80s, and it was not the turn of HSBC to show off in Xiangjiang.

And Lin Zuhui's personal influence has long surpassed HSBC, so naturally he is not worried about offending HSBC.

Chapter 761 [The second generation of the Lin family debuts]

11 month.

The Hang Seng Index has reached the 25000-point mark, which has skyrocketed by 3 points from 15000 points in early March, which can be described as a strong rebound.

In the first ten months of the Hong Kong property market, it has soared by about 25%, ranking first in the world.According to industry analysis, due to the low interest rate environment and the inflow of hot money, property prices continue to rise.

Of course, real estate in the United States and Europe has not bottomed out this year, and is still very sluggish.During the year, Futura Group, a subsidiary of the New Times Group, bought a large number of real estate properties in Europe and the United States, intending to use them for long-term rent collection.

The cash flow of New Era Group is too high. This year, the investment in European and American real estate is about 150 billion US dollars, and the dividend in the second half of the year involves a capital of 160 billion, that is, the annual dividend is 460 billion; even so, the cash flow of New Era Group is still as high as 4500 billion Hong Kong dollars, a full cash cow.

According to Lin Zuhui's idea, the cash flow of New Era Group is controlled at 3000 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is more in line with the group's strategy.Therefore, in recent years, the New Times Group may pay dividends twice a year, that is, dividends will be paid in the first half and the second half of the year.

……

15th, Sunday.

Uncle Tong’s eldest grandson, Zheng Zhigang, got married today. A grand banquet was held in the exhibition center. Celebrities in the city went there one after another. In the lobby and entrance of the hotel, even reporters gathered, asking questions to every rich and famous person who walked into the hotel.

A nanny's car was parked on the road in front of the hotel, and the door was right on the first section of the hotel's red carpet. The reporters paid attention and pointed their guns at the car.

Of course, these media are all officially invited, and not all cats and dogs can come to interview with fixed-point licenses.

The doorman was about to step forward to open the car door, but the car door had already been opened, and a young man walked out from inside, who looked only in his early 20s.

The reporters immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, because everyone was familiar with the celebrities in the city, but this one seemed relatively unfamiliar.

Seeing many reporters waiting, Lin Wenjie was not nervous at all, and walked towards the hotel lobby calmly and with a smile on his face.

A seasoned reporter reacted quickly and quickly asked, "Young man, which family are you from?"

Lin Wenjie turned his head and said with a smile: "I'm the groom's friend, sorry, I'll go in first, everyone has worked hard!"

A group of reporters stopped thinking about this issue, maybe it was the groom's friend, not the son of any big family.

"It looks somewhat similar to Mr. Lin Zuhui!"

A reporter suddenly said it, and a pot exploded at the entrance of the hotel.

"Could it be the eldest son of Mr. Lin Zuhui?"

"No way, logically speaking, the eldest son of the Lin family should still be studying in the United States, right?"

Everyone was talking about it, but they were not sure about Lin Wenjie's identity, because Lin Wenjie went to the United States to study very early, and he was very low-key, so no photos appeared in the media.

However, the luxury nanny car just now and the appearance that is [-]% similar to Lin Zuhui undoubtedly made everyone suspicious.

Everyone did not discuss a few words, Lin Zuhui's car came to the hotel entrance, the eye-catching license plate '9' is an obvious feature, of course, sometimes it may be the license plate '8'.

Lin Zuhui got out of the car, faced the reporters' license plates, and didn't care.With his status, it is unavoidable for reporters to take pictures and do interviews.

A reporter took advantage of the opportunity to ask a question: "Mr. Lin, there was a young man just now who looks quite like you!"

Lin Zuhui laughed 'haha', and then happily said: "It should be my son, everyone is still sharp-eyed, he will not be a professional reporter!"

Immediately detonated the whole scene, they just missed an interview with an heir to a 'trillion wealth'.

"Mr. Lin, is he the eldest son?" a reporter asked, 'looking for trouble'.

Lin Zuhui didn't care, but said: "It should be the future head of the New Times Group, and everyone will deal with him in the future. Sorry, we will go in first!"

Leaving behind the numerous reporters, everyone felt that they had received a shocking big news.

"Mr. Lin really has a unique style of doing things. Now he dares to publicly admit that he is the second-generation successor of New Times Group. Although he is 44 years old, he looks like he is only 30 years old. It's too early to take over!"

"So the future successor of the New Era Group, it seems that the son is amazing and has already been approved by Lin Zuhui. I heard that others have graduated from Harvard University at the age of 20, and they are also geniuses."

"Tsk tsk, that's amazing!"

At this time, things at the door are still going on.

Xu Ziqi and Li Jiacheng came to the scene hand in hand, Xu Ziqi wearing a black sequined backless evening dress was very sexy.

It was rumored that Tsui Ziqi was unwell, and Tsui Ziqi, who has always been smart, was unwilling to talk about it at other people's weddings. She said, "Don't talk about me tonight." The expression was relaxed, and there was no worry on her face.

After the two entered the hotel, the reporters discussed one after another.

"Being the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family is better than being Lin Zuhui's lover!"

Everyone roared with laughter. Back then, Hong Kong media photographed Xu Ziqi and Lin Zuhui shopping. Although the relationship between the two has not been confirmed by the parties, they are almost inseparable in the eyes of Hong Kong citizens.

"That's not necessarily the case! A daughter-in-law with hundreds of billions is not really able to get hundreds of billions by herself, and giving birth to a girl is just a gift of a 4000-square-foot mansion; but Lin Sheng's lover is really worth tens of billions, such as Li Jiaxin."

"It makes sense! Li Jiaxin is so favored, a socialite of the Lin family, who owns a lot of valuable properties."

The fourth uncle, Lee Shau Kee, who followed closely behind, was very nervous about Tsui Ziqi's health, facing the reporter: "Of course I'm worried, but it's fine."

But for Xu Ziqi's sexy outfit tonight, the fourth uncle said with a smile: "She is usually like this."

Soon, a nanny car stopped again, and the reporters concentrated their attention.

Uncle Tong's eldest grandson got married today, and the wealthy families in the city came to congratulate them one after another. It was a rare opportunity to see these wealthy people.

The people who came down this time made everyone's eyes wide open, and they were even a little surprised.

It turned out that it was Wang Lingyin and Li Jiaxin who got out of the car together, and Li Jiaxin was still holding Wang Lingyin's arm. The relationship between the two seemed better.

Although Li Jiaxin is a native of London, she often stays in Hong Kong. She is also a rich woman in Hong Kong real estate. From THE ONE in Tsim Sha Tsui to Sogo Department Store, the value of these two properties alone is tens of billions.Only the luxury properties, office buildings, and shops in her hands are countless, and the citizens of Xiangjiang think that she is extremely favored.

But today when Li Jiaxin was invited, Wang Lingyin worried that she would be neglected if she went alone, so she took the initiative to enter the venue with her.

When the two got out of the car, the reporters felt why Lin Zuhui wanted to keep Li Jiaxin and not Xu Ziqi. The two women were not on the same level in terms of temperament or appearance.Of course, Wang Lingyin is also very beautiful.

"Mrs. Lin, Ms. Li, why don't you go with Mr. Lin?" A reporter said secretly looking for trouble.

On this occasion today, the reporters will definitely not go too far, annoy the guests and be complained, and may be kicked out of the interview area.However, in the face of such a scene, there is no reason not to look for trouble, it's just more hidden.

"Women need makeup!" Wang Lingyin said casually with a smile.

"Mr. Lin just said that the eldest son is the successor of New Era Group, what does Mrs. Lin think?"

"You can just ask him about this. We are women. Sorry everyone, today is someone else's big wedding."

"Miss Li, you are so beautiful today, I'm afraid you will overwhelm everyone at the wedding banquet!" The reporter dug again.

"Today's bride must be the most beautiful!"

Li Jiaxin left a word, and walked into the hotel with Wang Lingyin.

"These reporters are really annoying. They secretly look for trouble!" Li Jiaxin said to Wang Lingyin.

Wang Lingyin said in a low voice: "It's good to deal with it like today. After all, you are active in the Xiangjiang business community, and dealing with them is indispensable."

After the two women entered, all the male reporters showed envious expressions on their faces.

"In terms of romance, it has to be Mr. Lin Zuhui. This wife and concubine don't see peace at all when they get along with each other. It seems that they are really on good terms!"

"you do not say!"

At the wedding scene, Hong Kong celebrities gathered.

Although today's protagonist is the Zheng family, many guests had to look at Lin Wenjie, a young man next to Lin Zuhui, because it was related to the transfer of trillions of assets.

Everyone in Xiangjiang knows that Lin Zuhui has three legitimate sons, but he has four big groups.Although Lin Zuhui is still young, everyone still cares about this issue.

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no sons. I'm afraid Wenjie will return to Hong Kong to help you!" Zheng Yutong looked at Lin Wenjie and said with a smile.

"I still have to exercise! But Zhigang is a rare talent who can help his father a lot."

"Humble you!" Zheng Yutong finished speaking, and asked Lin Wenjie concerned: "How are you doing in the United States?"

Lin Wenjie said respectfully without being humble or overbearing: "Grandpa Tong, I have a good relationship with my colleagues when I work in the United States, and I have learned a lot from them." But he did not mention that he has been promoted and raised his salary, and has become a project of a real estate company in the United States. principal.

This result is very good, after all, he has only been out of school for less than a year and a half.Of course, I have been familiar with the real estate industry since I was a child, so I naturally have some foundation.

People around all praised Lin Wenjie in his heart, although he was young, he was very seasoned in conversation and deed.

In front of Zheng Zhigang and his wife, the "Tota King" of the later generations, Lin Zuhui sent his blessings, and Lin Wenjie was friends with him. Although the two were nine years apart, they belonged to the same circle after all, plus the relationship between Lin Zuhui and Zheng Yutong.

The entire wedding cost a lot of money, of course, for wealthy people like Lin Zuhui, it was nothing more than sprinkling water.

What is really important is to see who has the most connections and who has the most guests.

If Lin Wenjie gets married, he will definitely choose to hold it at the Four Seasons Hotel, and the guests who will come will not be limited to Hong Kong, but the whole world, such as politicians and businessmen from the United States and the United Kingdom, and even European princes, so it is obviously a higher level.

During the period, Lin Zuhui greeted his fourth uncle Li Zhaoji, Li Jiacheng and his son. Everyone looked very normal and did not feel any embarrassment because of Xu Ziqi's matter.

At the same time, Xu Ziqi and Li Jiaxin were secretly competing. Li Jiaxin was wearing a patterned dress, showing her arms in spite of the cold; Xu Ziqi was even more sexy, showing a large back.

Wang Lingyin dressed warmly and looked very elegant. She had a high status, so no one would compare her to Xu Ziqi.

The guests naturally compared Xu Ziqi and Li Jiaxin. First of all, both of them had and maintained a relationship with Lin Zuhui, and secondly, they were more lethal in their clothes today.

"Li Jiaxin wins!"

This is what most of the guests think!

Although Li Jiaxin did not marry Lin Zuhui, she has become a billionaire herself and does not need to rely on her husband's family for rewards;

Lin Zuhui's high status is not comparable to that of a local rich man;

Li Jiaxin's position was acquiesced by Lin Zuhui, and also accepted by Wang Lingyin;

Li Jiaxin is more beautiful and temperamental, more beautiful than all the women that night.

……

Sure enough, the news in Hong Kong exploded the next day, and the citizens of Xiangjiang watched it with gusto.

Of course, the headline news is "Trillion Group's successor Lin Wenjie exposed for the first time", Hong Kong citizens are concerned about the issue of Lin Zuhui's successor.

"Mr. Lin actually has a successor, can't he? He looks like he's only in his 30s, and his son can actually take over?"

"Lin Sheng is 44 years old, and his eldest son Lin Wenjie graduated from Harvard at the age of 20 and has been working for more than a year now."

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs and sons. The Lin family has been prosperous for a hundred years without any problems!"

"It's not just a hundred years, but he is a prodigal son, and he can't squander so much wealth."

Li Jiaxin, Xu Ziqi and other famous ladies' competition for beauty is also concerned by the citizens of Hong Kong.

"Tsk tsk, although Xu Ziqi married into a wealthy family, she seems unwilling. Why doesn't Mr. Lin keep her, but Li Jiaxin?"

"What are you talking about? Isn't it better to marry into a wealthy family than to be an unknown lover?"
