The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

The next night.

In the private room of Miramar Hotel, Lin Zhichao, Zou Wenhuai, Li Hanxiang, Song Cunshou, Liu Lianghua, Lin Qingxia and others were eating together. In order to pick up girls, Lin Zhichao once again asked Li Hanxiang to invite Lin Qingxia to dinner together in the name of 'interview'. As for Qin Han's "outside the window" personnel, they are no longer included in this list to avoid being seen by others because of the crowd.

Lin Qingxia was placed next to Lin Zhichao, which of course makes sense. After all, it was Lin Zhichao who discovered Lin Qingxia's heroic and neutral beauty.

During the dinner, Li Hanxiang deliberately did not mention the interview and reminisced with Song Cunshou. Zou Wenhuai and Liu Lianghua also joined the discussion.

For a while, Lin Qingxia was "left out", but of course Lin Zhichao took the opportunity to seduce the girl.

Although his charm value is very high, if he wants to make a girl fall in love with him in two or three opportunities, he also needs to show some skills. Otherwise, his identity will put pressure on people and keep him away.

"Miss Qingxia, what do you think of Hong Kong?"

"It's very good. The people here are very fashionable, and it's much more prosperous than Taipei. It's like a big city, and the buildings are so tall!"

Lin Qingxia was not restrained at all and kept talking about her impressions of Hong Kong in the past two days. She felt that Lin Zhichao was easy-going.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "Hong Kong still has many charms, such as cultural tolerance and openness, and delicious food all over Hong Kong and Kowloon. If Miss Qingxia wants to know more about Hong Kong, I can take you around tomorrow morning."

Lin Qingxia blushed immediately, lowered her eyes and said, "Will this delay your work?"

Lin Zhichao said calmly: "It just so happens that I don't have work tomorrow, and your flight is in the afternoon and you don't have work in the morning. The time is just right."

Others pretended not to see or hear, and were chatting with each other.

The problem was thrown to Lin Qingxia. After all, she was young and faced a big boss, so she was a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Lin Zhichao said: "Just treat you as a guest and I as the host. I will take you to visit Hong Kong. Don't feel any psychological burden!"

Lin Qingxia finally nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Lin!"

She was a little embarrassed to agree, so her voice was very low in the end.

Seeing this, Lin Zhichao quickly said: "That's it!"

"Um"

Later, Lin Zhichao quickly changed the atmosphere and everyone chatted together, and Lin Qingxia was no longer embarrassed.

After the party.

Song Cunshou found Li Hanxiang privately and asked, "Director Li, Mr. Lin seems to value Qingxia very much, is it possible?"

Li Hanxiang patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are doing me a favor in this matter, just pretend that nothing happened. Anyway, Lin Sheng cannot embarrass a little girl, he is a very gentleman!"

Song Cunshou smiled and said, "This is natural. I understand!"

The next day.

It's seven o'clock sharp in the morning.

Lin Zhichao drove himself to pick up Lin Qingxia at the Miramar Hotel, and of course there were security vehicles behind him.

"Miss Qingxia, did you sleep well last night?" While driving, Lin Zhichao chatted with Lin Qingxia, the co-pilot.

"Well, very good, Mr. Lin, where are we going now?" Lin Qingxia was no longer restrained at this time. After all, there were many people last night, so the situation was different from the current situation.

"Of course we are going for morning tea! If you want to understand Hong Kong, you must start with morning tea. I will take you to a time-honored restaurant in Central to experience it." Lin Zhichao said with a smile.

Lin Qingxia didn't know why, but she felt that Lin Zhichao's smile was very kind and comfortable. She couldn't help but lean back on the seat and relax.

No matter how big the boss is, he is not his driver now.

"Are you laughing? I'm your driver!"

Lin Zhichao's words made Lin Qingxia sit up straight, and then she blushed and said, "No way, Mr. Lin, please don't make random guesses, okay?"

Hey, the Taiwanese girl’s accent is coming out!

"Ha ha"

"You're still smiling"

"I'm not laughing, I just think you're funny!"

Lin Qingxia said: "Why do you think I am interesting?"

Lin Zhichao shook his head, his meaning could only be understood but not expressed in words.

On that day, Lin Zhichao turned into a guide and took Lin Qingxia around Hong Kong Island. The two also had a great conversation.

On the way back to the hotel at 1pm, Lin Qingxia was already very relaxed in the passenger seat.

"You won't be late. It's all your fault for taking me to climb Mount Taiping!"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "Who refuses to come down the mountain!"

Lin Zixia immediately responded: "You are the host. If you don't arrange the time, can you blame me?"

Lin Zhichao laughed "haha". After a few short hours of getting along, it was obvious that the relationship between the two had made significant progress. Of course, the layer of paper has not been pierced, and the two are now friends who have been friends for many years.

"You're still laughing. If I miss the plane, my parents will definitely pursue it." Lin Qingxia already felt trouble coming, and her face became worried.

Lin Zhichao immediately said: "Don't worry, I have a good sense of time! Besides, if you really can't catch this flight, I will immediately arrange a special flight for you to fly to Taiwan Island, and I guarantee that you can return to Taipei today."

Lin Qingxia said in disbelief: "Private plane?"

It was incredible to her to fly, but also to be able to fly on a special plane.

Lin Zhichao said: "If you come to Hong Kong and take a Hong Kong Airlines flight, it is a company under my umbrella. Generally speaking, I can still choose to add another flight."

Only then did Lin Qingxia realize what kind of big shot the person who had been playing with her all day was.

She pouted and said, "I had forgotten that you are a big shot, but you can't blame me. You look so young and you don't look like the world's shipping king at all."

Lin Zhichao said: "Just treat me as a friend. It's rare for me to relax for a day. I'm very happy!"

Lin Qingxia's face lit up with joy and she said, "Then this is what you said. You can't say that I have no rules in the future!"

"I said!"

Afterwards, he delivered Lin Qingxia to the entrance of Miramar Hotel on time, and then Jiahe's motorcade drove them to the airport.

On the plane, Lin Qingxia and Qin Han sat together.

"Qingxia, I heard that you went to Hong Kong today?"

"Yeah, Brother Han."

"Who took you there?"

"Sister Liu Lianghua, I can chat with her very well."

At this time, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but compare Lin Zhichao and Qin Han. As a result, she found that no matter from which aspect, Lin Zhichao was completely victorious. Especially in terms of knowledge and insight, she really felt like a vast ocean today, and he was indeed a legend.

The important thing is that others are very easy-going and have no airs at all.

From the time she compared Lin Zhichao with Qin Han, her heart had actually changed.

“It’s good to see the world!”

"Um"

Later, Qin Han found that Lin Qingxia was treating him absent-mindedly, so he ignored her without interest.

At this time, he was not emotionally invested in Lin Qingxia. He regarded her more as a 'disciple' and enjoyed the act of worshiping her.

Early September.

Cheung Kong Holdings moved its headquarters to the Victoria Harbor Center, occupying the 48th to 52nd floors of the office building, and Lin Zhichao’s office naturally chose the 52nd floor.

Victoria Harbor Center, located in the core area of ​​Central, is the second tallest building in Asia, the tallest being Shangri-La Hotel (Hong Kong).

Lin Zhichao stood in front of the office window, overlooking Victoria Harbor and Tsim Sha Tsui, with a feeling of pride bursting out in his heart. This is what a real man should do, fight in the mall and fight in love.

After a while, Lu Zhiyuan from Cheung Kong Group and Victoria Harbor Real Estate came to Lin Zhichao's office.

Afterwards, everyone met at the conference table.

"We are convened this time to discuss an allocation plan for the land of the Navy Dockyard. Victoria Harbor Real Estate is responsible for investing in the land of the two buildings; Raffles City has been sold to Cheung Kong Group. The 300,000 square meters here I plan to sell this piece of land to Cheung Kong Holdings to build the Yangtze River Plaza in the future. The price is calculated at 300 million Hong Kong dollars. The rest of the land will be handed over to the Hong Kong government and can be donated. Therefore, the land deed for the undeveloped land needs to be redone. Let's work together. to promote this matter.”

The land of the Navy Dockyard is too big, and it was bought too cheaply at that time. But the problem now is that the Planning Department is not happy in some aspects, and there are also some problems with the establishment of the Admiralty MTR Station.

Therefore, at this time, Lin Zhichao decided to give up the unused land to the government and only retain the projects he could develop.

Huang Changhong said: "This area has more than 200,000 square feet. Wouldn't it be a big loss to give it all away?"

He was referring to an area on the coast and close to Wan Chai. In its previous life, it was an area that contained gardens, the Police C headquarters, and some buildings. At present, Lin Zhichao has planned four office buildings, a hotel building, and a Raffles City Plaza to the west, accounting for about half of this area.

Lin Zhichao said: "If this area is not given to the Hong Kong government, it will be difficult to arrange a subway station. If it is given to the Hong Kong government, the subway station can be designed here, and our commercial district will also benefit. In addition, it is close to Wan Chai, and the commercial nature is not large, so it is unnecessary Heartbroken! As for the area around Yangtze River Plaza, the Hong Kong government can also build government department office buildings, but it can no longer plan buildings."

I am discussing with the Hong Kong government that I will donate some land. You can build government office buildings, but you can no longer build commercial buildings. After all, the Yangtze River Plaza itself will be planned as a commercial complex.

If Lin Zhichao doesn't do this, the land will be wasted, because the Hong Kong government has only planned so many businesses, and he may face difficulties from the Planning Department in the future.

Just give up the unused land to facilitate future dealings.

Huang Changhong said: "Okay, then we will negotiate with the Hong Kong government and report to the boss later."

At this time, Chen Zhiyuan said: "Isn't 300 million a bit low for the 300,000 square feet of land in Yangtze River Plaza?"

After all, Cheung Kong Group is a publicly listed company, and the boss only holds 75% of the shares.

Lin Zhichao said: "It's not low. Its value lies in the development, not the land itself, and the location is a little worse. What's more, the land may still fall, and the price will be almost the same in the future."

In a previous life, in the mid-to-late 1980s, this piece of land was auctioned in two bids by Swire Pacific for a price of HK$1.7 billion. During this period, we experienced a negotiation crisis, so it was not very high.

But in any case, if there is an oil crisis, the price of HK$300 million is still worth it. Although it can more than quintuple in more than ten years, Lin Zhichao plans to cash out and it will be more cost-effective to speculate in spot gold.

Many Chinese real estate developers do not inject all their assets when they go public, but slowly 'cash out' later, allowing their listed companies to purchase their own land in order to obtain cash or new shares.

This kind of thing happens so often in Hong Kong that this stock market crash was even listed and discussed by others.

"good"

Subsequently, a working group was quickly established to conduct a systematic layout of the naval dock site project.

In fact, it was the territory of his previous life, and Lin Zhichao only wanted the commercial part.

After the Yangtze River Plaza land was injected into Cheung Kong Group, Lin Chi-chao was left with only 2.2 million square feet of New Territories land and land-exchange rights deeds that had not been injected into it.

The real development of the New Territories was due to MacLehose's "New Towns" plan after he came to power. Therefore, in the late 1970s, these assets were awarded to the Cheung Kong Group.

In Lin Zhichao's hands, he only retains a number of office buildings, two high-end residential buildings, and some scattered properties. There is no need to inject any more.
