Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

Walking along the picturesque Peak Loop Trail, you will see the stacked skyscrapers, the world-famous Victoria Harbour, and the fresh and pleasant green mountains. From the Lugard Road Observation Deck, you can see the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour, which makes people intoxicated. In addition, there are places such as the Lion Pavilion, the Observation Deck of the Peak Plaza, and the Sky Terrace of the Peak Tower, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hong Kong from a closer distance. Whether it is day or night, the Peak exudes charming charm.

In addition to playing, Lin Hao came to the Peak to see the top luxury homes in Hong Kong. Those who can live in the Peak are the top rich people in Hong Kong, and the luxury homes here can rank among the top in Asia.

Asia's richest man Li Chaoren, Macau gambling king He, etc., all have luxury homes here. Lin Hao will come to Hong Kong Island frequently in the future, so naturally he has a residence. He can't always live in a hotel.

There are many luxury residential areas in Hong Kong, such as Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay, Mid-Levels, etc., but the most recognized luxury is still the Peak.

After Hong Kong was opened in the 1840s, the villas on the Peak were a symbol of wealth and status in Hong Kong at that time, and this has been preserved.

If Lin Hao wants to buy a house in Hong Kong, he will buy it here, and there is no need to consider other places.

In the restaurant on the Peak at night, Lin Hao looked at the night view of Hong Kong in the distance, which was really beautiful. No wonder Hong Kong's wealthy people like to live here.

"Let's find out which luxury houses on the Peak are for sale." Lin Hao ate a piece of steak and wiped his mouth and said.

"Okay, boss, what do you want?" Vivian asked.

"The location should be good, the space should be large, and it is best to be able to move in directly." Lin Hao said.

"Okay, I will contact major real estate companies tomorrow." Vivian said immediately.

"By the way, ask if Ho Tung Gardens is for sale?" Lin Hao suddenly said.

Ho Tung Gardens is the residence of Ho Tung, the first richest man in Hong Kong after the opening of Hong Kong.

At first, Ho Tung worked as a big comprador in Jardine Matheson with fluent English. At the age of 35, he had become a wealthy man with a net worth of over 2 million. In 1906, Ho Tung applied to the Governor of Hong Kong for permission to live in Mid-Levels, Central, and became the first Chinese to live in the Peak. Ho Tung Gardens is located at 75 Peak Road, Peak. It was purchased by Ho Tung and his wife Zhang Lianjue for more than 60,000 Hong Kong dollars in 1923. It was originally called Xiaojue Garden. Ho Tung's success in "going up the mountain" inspired the fighting spirit of Chinese businessmen, and then batches of local tycoons climbed the peak.

This is how the reputation of the luxury house on the Peak in Hong Kong today came about. Lin Hao remembers that the current owner of Ho Tung Gardens is Ho Tung's granddaughter Ho Mianjun. In 2012, Hong Kong once proposed a land exchange plan to acquire the house from the Ho family, and later proposed a sky-high price of 3 billion to acquire it, but was rejected by Ho Mianjun. Because He Mianjun's price in mind is 7 billion, and the line of Macau gambling king Stanley Ho is only a branch of the Ho Tung family.

At the beginning of 2015, the Ho Tung Gardens, which has a history of nearly 100 years, changed hands again. Zhang Songqiao, the "richest man in Chongqing", bought it for 6.3 billion Hong Kong dollars (including 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars in taxes).

This transaction not only broke the transaction volume of the most expensive private residence in Hong Kong, but also broke the record of Hong Kong's "double spicy tax".

Lin Hao is very interested in Ho Tung Gardens, but he doesn't know what the price is now. The price of 5.1 billion is too high. In the original history, Zhang Songqiao flattened it and built a building after buying it.

If Lin Hao wants to buy it, he will definitely live in it himself. If the price is right now, he will buy it, which can also be regarded as protecting historical buildings.

After hearing Lin Hao's words, although she didn't know what Ho Tung Gardens was, Vivian still agreed. She didn't know, but she would know after checking.

......

The next day, the shareholders of ATV arrived at the ATV building very early. The news of Lin Hao's acquisition of ATV yesterday was all over the place. Hong Kong is not big, and any disturbance can spread all over Hong Kong immediately.

As soon as the news of Lin Hao's acquisition of ATV was spread, it immediately caused a sensation and heated discussions. Some were optimistic, while others were sarcastic.

"Wall Street financial tycoon, Hollywood tycoon Lin Hao has acquired ATV." - Oriental Daily

"Can the world-class rich man Lin Hao's purchase of ATV bring ATV back to life?" - Ming Pao

"Chinese rich man Lin Hao bought the second largest TV station in Hong Kong, Asia Television, for 600 million Hong Kong dollars." - Ta Kung Pao

.......

The media did not wait until the next day, but reported it on the same day. In addition to the media, Hong Kong citizens were also discussing it enthusiastically

"Being rich means being arrogant, and they dare to touch ATV. The rich who acquire ATV will basically have trouble later. There is no one yet."How long do you think Lin Hao can hold on?" "He is a Wall Street tycoon and a Hollywood tycoon. Maybe he can bring ATV back to life." "I guess the most nervous company in Hong Kong right now is TVB." ..... At this moment, the ATV conference room was full of people, all of whom were ATV shareholders. ATV had changed hands many times and its shares were relatively dispersed. In addition to a few major shareholders, there were a lot of small shareholders. Lin Hao, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced at everyone and then said, "I believe everyone should know that I have acquired 52.3% of the shares in the hands of Mr. Chen Yongqi at a price of 600 million Hong Kong dollars and have become the controlling shareholder of ATV. If everyone present is willing to sell their shares to me, I am willing to acquire the shares in your hands according to this percentage. If not, I will inject 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. "

Lin Hao already controls ATV, so there is no need to be nice to these shareholders, so he made it clear. Those who are willing to sell their shares can talk about it. Those who are not willing, sorry, either follow Lin Hao to inject capital or have their shares diluted. Don't agree?

Sorry, Lin Hao owns 52.3% of the shares, directly controlling the shares, just agree.

Everyone in the conference room immediately started talking after hearing Lin Hao's words. They didn't expect Lin Hao to be so direct at the beginning. There are two choices, either take the money and leave, or wait for the shares to be diluted and get nothing.

There is no need to think about injecting capital, Lin Hao invested HKD 1 billion to buy all the remaining half of ATV shares, and there was still some left, so the money would just go down the drain.

Looking at the people discussing, some were expressionless, some were excited, and some were angry, but after the first person expressed his intention to sell his shares, more and more people chose to sell their shares and take the money and leave. In the end, Lin Hao directly took over 100% of ATV's shares, which was considered to be completely in control of ATV.

After the shareholders' meeting in the morning, Lin Hao held the first high-level meeting of the company in the afternoon. The first thing he announced surprised everyone.

"I decided to change the name of Asia Satellite TV to Global Satellite TV."
