Wolf of Xiangjiang

Chapter 56 [Bank Favor]

The Railway Building was originally a property of the British Railway Group.

The British Railway Group is a comprehensive enterprise also focusing on shipping. In 1971, the Railway Group was reorganized into five major business departments: shipping, truck freight, passenger transport, European and air transport business, and general holding business.

The Railway Group was developed in 1822. Following the footsteps of the British colonists, its business developed rapidly in the Far East, India, Egypt and other regions, and it once monopolized Hong Kong's shipping.

At the end of the 19th century, the Railway Company made Hong Kong the regional headquarters of its Far East business and set up a branch in the Western District of Hong Kong. In addition to an office building, there was also a private dock. In the 20s, it took the lead in launching container transportation in Hong Kong and participated in the investment in Kwai Chung Container Terminal.

The Railway Group sold the Railway Building on Des Voeux Road Central to Land Corporation in 1976. This decision must have been made in order to strengthen the development of shipping.

In any case, the Railway Bank Building purchased by Land two years ago must have been far less than HK$1.5 million, and it could earn at least % in two years.

That night.

Lin Zhengjie acted as the host and invited five shareholders to have dinner in the private room of the Mandarin Hotel.

After meeting Feng Qingshao, he said humorously: "The God of Wealth invited me, but I canceled the important entertainment and came here specially to keep the appointment!"

The remaining shareholders greeted Lin Zhengjie in a friendly manner and put their arms around each other.

These children of prominent families probably never imagined that in less than half a year, Lin Zhengjie would earn back the original capital of Tai'an with a total investment of 4500 million Hong Kong dollars, and he would still have a fortune of 1 million in his account.

Equivalent to more than three times!

The equity structure of Tai'an Development is: Lin Zhengjie 33.33%, Li Guoxing 22.22%, Feng Qingshao 17.77%, and the other three each hold 8.88%.

Lin Zhengjie said with a smile: "If I were the God of Wealth, all of you would be the heavenly soldiers and generals. Let's work together and make a fortune together!"

Everyone was smiling.

"Haha, Zhengjie can still talk!"

Next, everyone takes their seats.

After chatting for a while, Lin Zhengjie got down to business.

"Dear brothers, today I heard that China Land intends to sell the Railway Building in Des Voeux Road. Therefore, I think that if Tai'an Development spends about 1.5 million to buy this building, it can move forward and retreat freely. Everyone knows that China Entertainment is a listed company. Bar?"

Everyone was immediately stunned and subdued by Lin Zhengjie's courage.

Of course, everyone is familiar with China Entertainment. It is a listed company under Chinese Land, a joint venture between Feng and Li. This company owns the Entertainment Building in Central. In addition to collecting rent, it also mainly invests in securities.

In other words, Lin Zhengjie created a 'Chinese Entertainment' in one year.

If Tai'an Development acquires the 'Tie Xing Building' (which is close to the value of the 'Entertainment Building'), then it will take out a mortgage and continue to invest in securities.

Li Guoxing is not stupid. Lin Zhengjie invites everyone to come. Naturally, he needs everyone's help for many things. Of course, this in itself is also something common to everyone.

"Zhengjie, let's say this Railway Bank Building is worth 1.5 million. How much do you want to loan?"

Lin Zhengjie did not answer this question directly, but said: "As the mainland's policies become increasingly clear, large companies in many countries around the world are eager to open up a market with a population of one billion. Then Hong Kong must be their first stop, so I I believe that there is huge room for appreciation in the office buildings in Central in the next few years. When we buy the Railway Building, we are buying a high-quality asset that will appreciate in value, and at the same time, we can collect a lot of rent every year. Therefore, I plan to borrow 1 million yuan. , in addition to paying the remaining property payment, the rest is invested in securities.”

Assuming 1.5 million to 1.6 million, it is expected that there will be more than 3000 million Hong Kong dollars left, and you can still make a fortune by investing in Qingzhou Yingni.

Of course, although the loan is 10 million, the rent of 8 square feet of the Tiexing Building is enough to repay the interest every year. Currently, the rent for office buildings in Central, Hong Kong is around HK$1100 per square foot. The Railway Building can collect rents of HK$1200 million to HK$ million a year (shops are much more expensive), and the rent can increase by % next year. If the rent increases again the year after, the rent will only rise every year. .

Of course, there is no problem paying interest on one year's rent; but if you want to repay the principal, you have to wait until the rent rises and the value of the building increases significantly.

The five shareholders made calculations one after another. At this time, they were all conquered by Lin Zhengjie's money-making methods, and in fact they quickly made up their minds to support it. Anyway, their capital has been recovered, and now Tai'an Development is full of profits.

If Lin Zhengjie succeeds in this operation, everyone's wealth will increase a lot. The key is to buy the building steadily!
As the second shareholder, Li Guoxing thought the same thing and said: "No problem, I will help you convince the Bank of East Asia to reach this loan. Of course, this building must be mortgaged by our Bank of East Asia."

Lin Zhengjie said: "This is what it should be!" After that, everyone was in a very good mood and praised Lin Zhengjie.

At this time, these children of prominent families in their forties and fifties completely regarded Lin Zhengjie as a 'brother'. Lin Zhengjie also met many people in Hong Kong's upper class through them, and his connections increased rapidly.

During the dinner, Li Guoxing asked: "By the way, Zhengjie, you said you wanted to speculate in a stock, but why haven't you taken action yet? Which stock is it?"

Lin Zhengjie smiled and said: "Don't worry. After the Hang Seng Index reached 700 points, the pressure increased greatly. I expect it will fall from November to December, and we will slowly absorb it by then. As for that stock, don't be anxious, I'll take it. When the time comes, I must communicate with you first, after all, Tai'an is everyone's company."

Feng Qingshao said with a smile: "You are a securities genius, just let us know! But you are really awesome. The market analysis is so detailed. If you really guess it right, I am willing to call you the 'Stock God' from now on!"

Lin Zhengjie said politely: "Don't dare. After all, 700 points is the pressure line. At the end of last year, it went against the previous rule of rising at the end of the year and fell. So this year I also analyzed it in the same way. Veteran stock traders who hold this analysis , no less.”

Everyone nodded!
In their minds, Lin Zhengjie is indeed very capable, but they never think that it is due to luck, because Lin Zhengjie always analyzes things in an orderly manner and is irrefutable.

This is a very reassuring and admirable thing!

The next morning, Lin Zhengjie came to the Bank of East Asia and walked into the deputy general manager's office under the leadership of Li Guoxing.

Currently, the chief executive of Bank of East Asia is Jian Yuelong, Jian Yueqiang’s brother and Jian Dongpu’s son.

Kan Dongpu was a key figure in the rise of the Bank of East Asia. During the Japanese invasion, it was Kan Dongpu who had the foresight to transfer assets to Europe and the United States, ensuring the foundation of the Bank of East Asia. After the war, it was Kan Dongpu who rebuilt the Bank of East Asia and did not step down until his death in 1963.

After that, Li Fuhe served as both chairman of the board of directors and general manager until he stepped down as general manager in 1976. Jian Yuelong took over as general manager, and Li Guobao (Li Fuhe's nephew) served as deputy general manager.

After all, Jian Yuelong is very old, so Li Guobao is already "very powerful", and it has only been a few years since he took over Jian Yuelong's position as general manager (i.e., chief executive officer).

"National treasure, this is Lin Zhengjie. Zhengjie, and this is Mr. Li Guobao, deputy general manager of the Bank of East Asia!" Li Guoxing introduced.

Lin Zhengjie looked at the future leaders of the Bank of East Asia and knew that he would not be able to do without the support of the bank in the future, so he said: "Li Sheng, the younger generation has long admired you as an outstanding banker!"

Li Guobao smiled and said: "I have also heard about Lin Sheng. He works quickly and accurately. In less than a year, you will be able to buy a building in Central!"

Li Guobao was naturally aware of the three legendary cases of speculation in Wharf stocks, speculation in Jane's Villas, and speculation in New World Development stocks.

These three achievements are enough to impress people.

In Hong Kong, what matters is your ability and how much money you have!
Lin Zhengjie said modestly: "I am doing business in partnership with the seniors, and they support me!"

Li Guobao knew that Lin Zhengjie was modest. Of course, it could also be said that Lin Zhengjie used other people's funds and connections, and others borrowed Lin Zhengjie's ability and luck to cooperate and take advantage of each other.

pretty good!
"Taian Development's loan of 1 million to purchase the Railway Building is beyond the funds you need! You still have tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars left. Are you planning to invest in securities?"

"Yes, I did find that a stock has great potential, so I am preparing for the Hang Seng Index to fall back a bit and do some operations."

"Okay, I agree to this loan."

Lin Zhengjie was a little stunned. He didn't expect it to be so easy. He thought that he would at least inform Li Guobao of the stock information he was operating!
Li Guobao saw Lin Zhengjie's expression and said with a smile: "When we bankers grant loans, we first look at the people and secondly the collateral."

Lin Zhengjie suddenly understood and said quickly: "Thank you Li Sheng for your consideration!"

Li Guobao said with a smile: "It's appreciation! Lin Sheng's story is legendary. 'Three Levels' are all about real means and strength. I believe luck is only a small part."

Lin Zhengjie replied: "The overall environment is very important!"

Li Guobao said: "If you can see this clearly, it will be even more powerful!"

Afterwards, with Li Guobao's promise, Lin Zhengjie could contact Land without any worries.
