Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 460 Decision after consultation
In the evening, Lin Baicheng called Isabella and Bill Hawes to the villa.

Together with Haruko Mori, the four went to the study.

Lin Baicheng told the three of them the content of the conversation with Wade Thomas today, expressing that he wanted to hear what they thought.

The three looked at each other, and Haruko Mori was the first to say: "Chairman, whether you want to sell some of the shares before the company's listing road show mainly depends on what you think of the company's stock price prospects after the company's listing. If you are optimistic, then you don’t have to sell the shares.”

"However, Chairman, you hold nearly [-]% of the shares of Galaxy Games after listing. I personally think that you can still sell some shares. This will not only convert the shares into cash in advance, but also have more powerful shareholders in the United States. Galaxy Games is also beneficial."

Lin Baicheng nodded, and looked at Isabella and Bill Hawes.

"Chairman, I also agree to sell some shares first, and after the company is listed, it is best for the chairman to gradually reduce the shares, or transfer the shares to a secret family organization. It is best not to leave too much money on the surface It’s not a good thing to pass shares.”

Not only did Isabella agree to sell the shares, but she also gave advice.

"Chairman, unless you immigrate to the United States, once the market value of Galaxy Games increases greatly in the future and you hold a large number of shares, it will not be a good thing for you as a foreigner."

"Therefore, since we have to sell our shares, we might as well sell some of them now. In case Xinghe Game Company does not perform as expected after listing, selling some of our shares first can also return a lot of money."

Bill Hawes also said aloud afterwards, although the latter sentence was a bit unpleasant, it was not impossible.

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded after hearing this: "So, you all think it's better for me to sell some shares first?"

"Yes, Chairman."

Haruko Mori, Isabella and Bill Hawes all nodded.

"Then, for the time being, let's just assume that I am willing to sell some shares first."

Lin Baicheng said to the three people: "How many shares do you think it is appropriate for me to sell? And at what price is the appropriate price?"

Isabella said: "Chairman, you hold nearly 20% of the shares, so I think you can sell 20% of the shares. After all, the shares in the public offering must be deducted proportionally. If you sell 16% of the shares now, you can only sell [-]% of the shares after listing. [-]%, if too little is sold, there will be even less left for those institutions.”

"Chairman, the more you sell now, the less shares you need to take out for a public offering."

Bill Harveys said afterwards, meaning the same as Isabella.

Haruko Mori said that if Lin Baicheng is quite confident about the prospects of Xinghe Game Company after listing, he can sell less, and he can only sell 15% of the shares.

"What about the price?"

Lin Baicheng did not say how many shares he wanted to sell, but asked about the price of the shares sold.

"Originally Galaxy Games Company planned to go public with a market value of 26 billion US dollars. Goldman Sachs and other institutions want to buy shares, so the price will definitely not be higher than the market value of 26 billion US dollars. Chairman, you must be mentally prepared for this." Bill Ha Weiss said first.

"I know this. A certain discount is definitely required, but the selling price is too low and I definitely won't accept it."

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng expressed his understanding that he had already been mentally prepared for this.

"US$23.4 billion, this is the market value of US$26 billion after a [-]% discount."

Haruko Mori said: "I think this can be used as a benchmark for negotiations. It is best to reach a market value of 24 billion US dollars for the sale of shares, but it is also acceptable to sell at a market value of 23 billion US dollars. 23 billion US dollars is the bottom line."

"I can accept the bottom line of the market value of 23 billion U.S. dollars."

Lin Baicheng thought about it, and a [-]% discount is still acceptable.

Bill Harveys said: "There is a [-]% discount, and I think institutions such as Goldman Sachs should be able to accept it."

Isabella then echoed aloud.

"Well, this matter is settled like this. I decided to sell the shares at a company's market value of no less than 23 billion US dollars. I can sell 15% or 20%. It depends on how much Goldman Sachs and other institutions can eat."

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Baicheng made a decision.It is good to sell some shares first, and then get some cash to develop other companies.

Even if the stock price of Xinghe Game Company rises sharply after its listing, developing other companies can also make money, and providing more jobs can increase its influence.

Lin Baicheng felt that Isabella and the others were right. He was a foreigner after all, and holding too many shares in a listed company was not a good thing.It's fine if it's a rubbish company, but if this company is very profitable and has a very high market value, then someone will definitely be jealous and find trouble with him, a foreigner.

"Leave this matter to Harveys."

Lin Baicheng paused as he spoke, then shook his head and said, "Hawes, you should focus on the Xingyue Electronic Game Company in the near future, and leave this matter to Qingzi."

"Chairman, I will try my best to negotiate a higher price."

Haruko Moori couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this. Lin Baicheng entrusted her with such an important task, which showed that Lin Baicheng valued her, and she wished that there would be more such things.

"Chairman, why don't you let me assist Assistant Maori?"

Isabella's heart sank, but she didn't show it.

Before Lin Baicheng said anything, Haruko Mori said first: "No need, I can lead a team to do this well. New Century Software still needs you, Isabella, as a manager."

"Are you sure there is no problem?"

Lin Baicheng looked at Haruko Mori.

Haruko Mori nodded heavily: "Chairman, I will not let you down."

"Well, I'll leave this to you."

Seeing what Haruko Mori said, Lin Baicheng chose to believe in Haruko Mori's ability.

"It seems that Haruko Mori is more trusted by the chairman."

Bill Hawes, who was watching from the side, couldn't help thinking in his heart, and secretly told himself that it was best not to offend Haruko Mori, otherwise bad luck would result.

Now that Lin Baicheng has made a decision, of course Isabella can't say anything more, but she can't help but feel a little depressed.

In fact, Isabella, Haruko Mori, Bill Harveys and others are secretly competing, and no one will accept the other. At the same time, everyone wants to have more power in their hands.

Lin Baicheng paid more attention to Haruko Mori, which is of course not a good thing for Isabella.

Lin Baicheng actually knew about the competition among the people below, but as long as it didn't affect his work, he wouldn't say anything.

As for trusting Haruko Mori more, that was a matter of course. After all, Haruko Mori still had another identity as his woman.

Lin Baicheng has not really regarded Mouri Haruko as a woman who can accompany him throughout his life, but comparing several assistants with each other, Lin Baicheng trusts Moori Haruko more, which is human nature.
