Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 291
Because of the contact one day in advance, among the guests invited by Lin Baicheng, except for two congressmen who went to Washington and couldn't come to the party, the other guests said that they would come to his party that night.

Isabella and Bill Hawes are doing the job of welcoming the guests. Lin Baicheng only needs to chat with the guests who have arrived.

"BOSS!"

Among the guests, Shirley Lansing, Eric Davis, Aiden Sherland and others who were Lin Baicheng's subordinates arrived first.

"Ellen!"

While Lin Baicheng was chatting with Eric and the others, Phil Smith came over.

"Smith!"

Lin Baicheng walked over and hugged Phil Smith.

Phil Smith said: "I said, your trip back to Xiangjiang will take about three months, which is too long."

"The Xiangjiang side is my base camp, so of course I have to manage it well."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile, these words are really his true thoughts. Even if the United States can make more money, but he is Chinese after all, so the United States must not be used as a base camp to operate, and the Xiangjiang side is the most important. heavy.

Phil Smith nodded in agreement, and reminded: "The truth is true, but the economy in the United States is more developed and the market is bigger, so you still have to pay more attention to it."

"I know what's in my mind."

Lin Baicheng nodded upon hearing this.

Phil Smith stopped talking about this topic when he saw this, but changed the subject and said enviously: "Alan, your "Tank War" is a big hit again. Last year's two games were big hits. This year's Two more, you can make a lot of money."

"I earn a lot, but you also earn less."

It is true that Lin Baicheng earns more, but Phil Smith, an agent, also earns a lot. Lin Baicheng does not know how much profit, but Lin Baicheng can be sure that Phil Smith's profit will not be less than 300 US dollars.

Take the game "Donkey Kong" as an example. Phil Smith's company purchased 2 arcade machines in two installments. Even if they haven't sold all of them yet, half of them should still be sold.With the popularity of this game in the United States, all 2 units must be sold, and there will be more purchases in the future.

And the profit of 2 arcade machines is at least 600 million US dollars, or even more.More importantly, this is only the game "Donkey Kong", and the three games "Xiangjiang Square", "Pac-Man" and "Tank War" are also represented, all of which add up to at least tens of millions of dollars in profits this year.

"I was just drinking soup behind you, Allen, how can I compare with you eating a big piece of meat."

Phil Smith waved his hand, but the smile on his face showed that he was satisfied with the company's profits.The $300 profit of Lin Baicheng's arcade machine is far lower than the actual profit earned by Phil Smith, but the specific profit must be a secret, as if Phil Smith doesn't know how much money Lin Baicheng can earn from an arcade machine, and It can only be estimated by guesswork.

"Alan, do you know Taito Co., Ltd., the agent of your game in Japan? The "Space Invaders" developed by this company has recently become very popular in the American market. It is conceivable that this company can earn a lot of money. The profit will never be low.”

"This game is really good."

Lin Baicheng nodded.

"Alan, I found out that making games really makes money."

Phil Smith said with emotion: "Not only do arcade games, but Atari's video games are also selling more and more, and the revenue and profit have increased greatly. It's a pity that this company is not listed, otherwise, its stock price will inevitably fall. Usher in a surge."

"Smith, you only see people making money, but you don't see investment and losses."

Lin Baicheng shook his head noncommittally, and said: "Take the Atari you mentioned as an example. Now that the sales of video games are not bad, Atari will naturally make money, or even make a lot of money. However, the equipment developed by Atari Invested [-] million U.S. dollars, if it is not popular in the market, you can imagine how much Atari will lose."

"That's true."

It's not that Phil Smith doesn't understand this truth, but what he sees is that the games developed by Lin Baicheng Company are successful every time, so he subconsciously thinks that almost all the games developed will be accepted by the market.

"Alan! Smith!"

While Lin Baicheng and Phil Smith were chatting, Wade Thomas from Goldman Sachs came over.

"Thomas, welcome to my party."

Lin Baicheng shook hands with Wade Thomas who was walking.

Wade Thomas smiled and said, "Alan, there's no reason why I shouldn't come to the party you held."

Lin Baicheng said: "Thomas, let's make an appointment tomorrow. I have an acquisition and I want to entrust Goldman Sachs. Let's talk about it then."

"no problem!"

Wade Thomas responded immediately, and said happily: "I didn't expect you to give me a big gift when I first came to Allen."

Phil Smith next to him said with a smile: "Then you have to thank Allen for a while, and have a few more drinks with Allen."

"this is necessary!"

Wade Thomas nodded.

The three chatted, and soon after, Jobs from Apple came.

As the sales of Apple computers are getting higher and higher, the revenue and profits are increasing, and the company's valuation continues to rise, Jobs can be said to be high-spirited now.

As for Apple, because Lin Baicheng helped guarantee Apple’s unsecured loan from Goldman Sachs last time, Wade Thomas also paid attention to Apple after that, knowing that the company is developing better and better now, and with the current In terms of growth rate, the future is quite impressive.

Therefore, under the operation of Wade Thomas, Goldman Sachs bought a total of 5% of the shares from several shareholders of Apple at a considerable premium and became a minority shareholder.

Lin Baicheng also knew about this, because he, as a major shareholder, would of course know about the important shareholder changes.However, this matter has nothing to do with him, and he didn't pay attention to it after he knew it.

As the party time approached, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, as well as Republican congressmen and others all came together, and the party officially began.

This party is not a carnival party, but a gathering among friends of Lin Baicheng, and everyone mainly chats.

As the organizer of the party and the richest one, Lin Baicheng was naturally the protagonist of the party, and everyone chatted around him.

While chatting, it was inevitable to talk about Lin Baicheng's investment in long gold futures. Fortunately, Wade Thomas didn't say the specific funds Lin Baicheng invested in, and used "big profit" to bring it over.

Phil Smith also invested in long gold futures, and he also made a lot of money. He also asked Lin Baicheng if he was going to settle the profits, and Lin Baicheng replied ambiguously, watching the market changes.Before selling the long list, Lin Baicheng would definitely not say that he would sell the long list.
