Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 421 Listing Decision
Every time he comes to the United States, as long as he doesn't stay for a short period of one or two days before leaving, Lin Baicheng will hold a private party to maintain his personal connections.

In order to take care of everyone's time, the party is usually held the next day.

This time was no exception. Lin Baicheng held a private party the second day he came to Los Angeles.There were not many guests at this party. Lin Baicheng had a few friends and at least the management level of each company.

The theme of this party is to get together and chat, so it is more casual.

"Alan, do you have something to deal with when you come to Los Angeles this time, or are you just inspecting your companies?"

Phil Smith asked Lin Baicheng. It stands to reason that Sino-Ocean Import and Export Trading Company is still handing over the foreign trade business department with Hutchison Whampoa. It is not an important matter. Lin Baicheng should keep an eye on Xiangjiang.Although they all sent people into the company, Lin Baicheng is the chairman of Sino-Ocean Trading after all.

Lin Baicheng said: "There was something to do, but now the situation has changed."

"What's wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Phil Smith couldn't help but move when he heard that, as long as he can help, he doesn't mind helping to improve the relationship between the two.

"I also have some connections."

Logan Rockefeller also spoke out. He knew that he couldn't help much in terms of funds, and the only thing that could help was his connections.

"I appreciate your kindness."

After waving his hand, Lin Baicheng didn't hide anything. He said, "It's related to Xinghe Game Company. The console developed by the company has been produced. I originally asked Goldman Sachs for a loan to produce the product, but Thomas said he was not optimistic about this business. In order to avoid affecting the listing of Xinghe Game Company, it is best to split the business."

"Alan, what is your decision now?"

After hearing this, Wade Thomas quickly asked whether Lin Baicheng would like to list the company now, which is related to whether Goldman Sachs can make a fortune as an underwriter, and also related to his performance.

Lin Baicheng immediately said to him: "I decided to listen to Thomas, spin off the mainframe business, and then list the company. However, we need to discuss the specific details of the listing."

Wade Thomas was overjoyed: "Alan, you have made the right decision. When the company goes public, your net worth will definitely skyrocket."

"Alan, congratulations!"

Phil Smith and others immediately congratulated Lin Baicheng.

"Thank you!"

Lin Baicheng smiled and toasted with them.

Lin Baicheng chatted with everyone for a while, and then asked Wade Thomas to go to the study to chat alone. At the same time, Haruko Mori and Isabella were also called away.

Lin Baicheng first said: "Thomas, I decided to split the mainframe, so I don't need the 25 million US dollar loan company that I originally agreed on, but Goldman Sachs wants to give me a [-] million US dollar loan, and the collateral is still the original [-] million US dollars. % of the shares of Galaxy Games Company, I will not increase the collateral."

"There's no problem with that."

Wade Thomas readily agreed after hearing the words. Although this would increase the risk for Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs, who still knew Lin Baicheng's situation, had no reason to refuse.

Leaving aside that Lin Baicheng's original loan of 10 million US dollars is still placed in Goldman Sachs' special account, using leverage to do long gold futures, the valuation of Galaxy Games alone exceeds [-] billion US dollars in Goldman Sachs' evaluation.A quarter of the share loan of [-] million US dollars is already a discounted loan, and these share loans of [-] million US dollars are no problem at all.

"So, let's talk about the cost of going public first."

Seeing that Wade Thomas agreed, Lin Baicheng said: "If Goldman Sachs' underwriting fee is too high, then I can only say sorry and look for Merrill Lynch or Morgan to help with the IPO."

"Alan, Goldman Sachs knows your company best. If you go to other companies, they don't know enough about your company. There is not much money to be raised.”

Wade Thomas said calmly, and then changed the topic: "Of course, for the sake of the friendly and cooperative relationship between you and me, Goldman Sachs will definitely offer you a suitable underwriting fee for Alan. Our future cooperation will continue." There are many, and Goldman Sachs will not entrap its partners."

"I will ask Bella and Bill to discuss the specific expenses with Goldman Sachs."

Lin Baicheng neither believed nor disbelieved. Anyway, let his assistant talk to Goldman Sachs first, so that even if the negotiation fails, there is still room for maneuver.

"it is good!"

Of course, Wade Thomas would not object. It would be better not to talk to the boss Lin Baicheng first, and Goldman Sachs does not want to talk about collapse. It is a good thing to have an assistant as a buffer.

"Alan, if there is no problem with you, Goldman Sachs can immediately set up a team to assist your company in IPO, coordinate all parties, and conduct a more detailed due diligence on your company, so that Goldman Sachs can also do what it wants. There are many."

Lin Baicheng heard the words and said: "This time I came to the United States to prepare for the company's console games. Now that I have decided to split the business, there is nothing else to do. Starting tomorrow, Bella and Bill will talk to Goldman Sachs first. Negotiate on the fee, and after we confirm the fee, you Goldman Sachs can send a team to Xiangjiang.”

"As for me, I will go back to Xiangjiang first to split up the company's console game business. If Goldman Sachs goes there fast enough, you can even assist me in splitting up the business. If there are any problems, you can also testify in time. .”

"I'll send someone over to negotiate tomorrow, and I hope the two sides can reach an agreement as quickly as possible."

Wade Thomas said.

After the two chatted for a while, they left the study and went downstairs.

After Phil Smith and Logan Rockefeller saw Lin Baicheng and the others came back, they didn't ask how they were talking, but chatted with them about other things.

The next day, Lin Baicheng left Los Angeles and went back to Xiangjiang.The difference was that there was an extra woman on the private jet, and that was Demi Moore.After finally coming to Los Angeles, of course Lin Baicheng had to communicate with her, otherwise his efforts would have been wasted.

Regarding the negotiation of listing fees, Lin Baicheng handed over to two assistants, Isabella and Bill Harveys, who asked them to negotiate a lower fee as much as possible.

The lower the relevant fees, the better, but as long as they are not too high, it will not affect Lin Baicheng's decision to go public. At the same time, Lin Baicheng will not change the underwriter and maintain in-depth cooperation with Goldman Sachs.
