Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 425

The night of April 4th.

Lin Baicheng went to the Peninsula Hotel to participate in a charity fundraising dinner hosted by the Hong Kong government.

"Lin Sheng!" "Good evening, Lin Sheng!" "Lin Sheng!".
Lin Baicheng didn't come early. The dinner started at seven o'clock. He came to the Peninsula Hotel when it was close to seven o'clock. Many people greeted him.

"Hello, hello!" "Good evening!" "Long time no see!".
Lin Baicheng greeted them one by one. Although the relationship between them was not very close, they still maintained a friendly relationship on the surface.

After greeting some people, Lin Baicheng walked towards Bao Yugang and other Chinese tycoons.

At today's dinner, it can be said that all the heavyweights in the Xiangjiang business community came. There were people from Chinese families and British-invested families, and most of them stood in their respective areas clearly, forming two camps.

However, there are also well-sleeved tycoons like Bao Yugang and Shen Congee who will go to the other side to say hello and chat, and no one will say anything.

Not long after Lin Baicheng arrived at the hotel, it was seven o'clock. Mai Lihao, who had already arrived at the hotel but had not yet come out, appeared in the lobby with all the important officials of the Hong Kong government.

The theme of today's dinner is charitable donations. McLehose also talked about this at the beginning, talking about the impact of refugees on Hong Kong's public security, and the economic difficulties of the Hong Kong government. They need the support of the elites present. I hope everyone can donate to charity and so on.

After McLehose finished his speech, it was time for a break for dancing. At the same time, someone was asking for donations from all the tycoons. You just need to write down the amount you want to donate first. From tomorrow, the Hong Kong government will come to your door to ask for money based on the number you filled in. .You can repent at that time. After all, donations have no legal effect, but the price of repentance is bad reputation and offending the Hong Kong government. Basically, no one would do such a stupid thing.

As the richest man in Xiangjiang, Lin Baicheng donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which is neither too much nor too little, but it is the most among all people.There is a saying about this kind of charitable donation. No matter how rich Lin Baicheng is, he can’t donate too much, otherwise the difference between other people’s donations and his donations will be too big, and the outside world will think that they are stingy, which means that Lin Baicheng has offended them in disguise.

Besides, Lin Baicheng doesn't want to donate too much, it's not that he is reluctant or doesn't want to do charity, but he can't guarantee that all his donations will be used for charity. Who knows if there is any money that has been hacked .

Regarding charity, Lin Baicheng still wants to do it. He is dubious about feudal superstition. After all, he is a reborn person, and he somewhat believes that good people will be rewarded.Therefore, when you are rich, you are of course willing to do good deeds to accumulate virtue for yourself.

It's just that Lin Baicheng wants to do charity by himself instead of donating money to other charities. He doesn't want his charitable donations to fatten a lot of people.

At present, Lin Baicheng has not started to do charity. He has already thought about it. He will start to do charity next year, build a charity organization from scratch, take his time, and seriously do charity well, rather than trying to gain fame.

A charity dinner like this is a rare opportunity for business elites to communicate, and there may be someone who can negotiate a deal at this kind of dinner.

Lin Baicheng also chatted with Shen Porridge, Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang and others, but they were just chatting, not discussing business.

"Lin Sheng, what do you think about Hutchison's falling stock price recently?"

It was Guo Henian who asked this question. He is now devoting more time and energy to Xiangjiang to expand his business.

Lin Baicheng said: "Hutchison's stock price rose too much last year. Now there is no huge positive stimulus, and the stock price correction is inevitable."

"Although it is true to say so, we can't let the stock price continue to fall. When the stock price falls to a certain price, we should find a way to stabilize the stock price. Otherwise, the capital market will no longer be optimistic about the company, and no one will be optimistic about the company. Know where the stock price is going to go.”

The reason why Guo Henian said this is because he took the shares of Hutchison Whampoa to the bank to mortgage a large amount of funds to develop his other enterprises.At that time, the bank gave him a loan of 7.5% of the market value of the pledged shares, that is, it gave him a loan based on the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa around HK$45. Once the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa fell to this price, the bank would ask him to replenish the collateral, otherwise the bank would The pledged shares will be forcibly sold.

Therefore, Guo Henian cannot let the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa fall to 45 Hong Kong dollars. Although he can raise funds from other places or add some collateral, it is best not to do so, so as not to affect him. development of other companies.

"Well, what Guo Sheng said is that we really need to inform the management of this matter, and at what price to stabilize the stock price, we will discuss it later."

Lin Baicheng did not say that the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa will definitely rise sharply in the future, but echoed Guo Henian's words. Anyway, in his opinion, before the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa falls to a certain price, it will rebound and usher in a big rise .

It is already April, and the international gold price is still oscillating above $240 per ounce, and the time for a big rise must not be long.After all, the international gold price will soar to a high of more than 800 US dollars next year. It is impossible to rise that much in a short while, and it will definitely rise first this year.

Therefore, what Guo Henian said was actually nothing to discuss, so Lin Baicheng chose to agree.

"Then let's talk about this topic at the next board meeting."

Guo Henian smiled when he heard the words, he didn't expect to achieve his goal so easily.

"it is good!"

Lin Baicheng nodded in response.

Time passed slowly in the chatting of everyone.

After eight o'clock, Mai Lihao spoke again, this time he said that Hong Kong's economic development is getting better and better under the leadership of the Hong Kong government and the United Kingdom. Ability can make a lot of money. The Hong Kong government and the United Kingdom will not infringe on anyone's assets, and private property is sacred and inviolable.

At the same time, Mai Lihao also cited the example of Lin Baicheng, saying that Lin Baicheng started from an ordinary family two years ago, but now he is the richest man in Hong Kong. It can be seen that under the management of the Hong Kong government, everyone has a chance, regardless of the person's status.

Lin Baicheng, who was named, said nothing, neither refuted Mai Lihao's words, nor echoed them.

Mai Lihao is nothing more than talking about how good Xiangjiang is under the British management, and the intention to win over the business community is ready to emerge. Of course, Lin Baicheng will not ask for boring troubles, he just needs to be firm in his choice.

Lin Baicheng believes that what McLehose said will still have an impact on some Chinese families, and there will definitely be people who will stand on the British side in the future, but this is none of his business, he just needs to be himself.

Not long after Mai Lihose finished his speech, the dinner was over, and Lin Baicheng took the lead to leave.Instead of going back to his villa in Repulse Bay, he went to one of his many villas in Xiangjiang, where someone was waiting for him.
