Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 507 Greater Ambition (Two in One)

After Apple's financing was completed, within two days, Lin Baicheng left Los Angeles and went back to Xiangjiang.

Just after returning to Xiangjiang, Shen Congee, the HSBC executive who had contacted Lin Baicheng in advance, contacted Lin Baicheng.

Because it was not tiring to fly in a private jet, and it was noon, Lin Baicheng and Shen Porridge met.

The two didn't talk about business right away, but started chatting.

Shen Porridge casually said: "Lin Sheng, Hutchison Whampoa is not only investing heavily in the real estate industry and retail industry, but now it is also entering the pharmaceutical industry, opening pharmacies and building hospitals. Why are you planning to borrow money to invest in the United States?"

"Although the U.S. economy has declined a bit in the past few years, it is still number one in the world overall. There is no comparison with Hong Kong. There are more opportunities there. That's why I want Hutchison Whampoa to invest there, hoping to gain something. "

Lin Baicheng answered casually.

"Lin Sheng, although the United States is good, the United Kingdom is not bad. If Hutchison Whampoa wants to invest, it can invest in the United Kingdom, just like Watsons."

As an Englishman, Shen Porridge is of course a little unhappy with the rise of the United States, and hopes that more funds will be invested in his home country to help his home country develop.

"I remember that many excellent companies in the UK are state-owned enterprises, right? Even if I want to invest, I have no chance."

Lin Baicheng is no longer an ordinary person, so he has some understanding of the policies and situations of many countries.

Shen Porridge listened and said: "There are indeed many state-owned enterprises in China, but Mrs. Thatcher became the prime minister in May. Currently, the reform of state-owned enterprises is being carried out to allow private enterprises to dominate the market. Therefore, there will be many opportunities in the country in the future. You can do more, Lin Sheng. Go to London to invest."

"If there is a chance, I will definitely go and see it."

Lin Baicheng nodded with a smile, even though the United Kingdom has fallen from the position of the world leader, there are still three nails in the rotten ship, not to mention that the British ship is not yet rotten, and there are many excellent companies, especially car companies.

Of course, Lin Baicheng is very clear about one thing, that is, as Xiangjiang Capital, which is also close to the mainland, it is impossible for him to eat meat or even drink soup during the reform of state-owned enterprises in the UK. He can pick up some leftovers. Soup leftovers are fine.

Taking car companies as an example, Lin Baicheng does not want to acquire Rolls-Royce at all. It is very good to be able to acquire the car brands and technologies under Rolls-Royce.

Hearing what Lin Baicheng said, Shen Porridge didn't say anything else. He didn't talk to Lin Baicheng this time to invite Lin Baicheng to invest heavily in the UK, but he just took the opportunity to mention it.

At that moment, Shen Congee turned to say: "Lin Sheng, regarding our agreement and cooperation, I need your help here."

"Help? Help for what?"

Lin Baicheng knew what Shen Porridge was talking about: "Now the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa is around 60 Hong Kong dollars, which is far higher than the purchase price we agreed at the beginning. It is not a big deal to suppress the stock price for no reason. An easy thing must be a big negative news. However, as I told you, negative news that is not good for Hutchison Whampoa's business, I will not cooperate with you."

"Lin Sheng, I didn't come to you today to suppress the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa."

Shen Congee shook his head lightly, and said: "On the contrary, I want you to announce the benefits for Hutchison Whampoa, try to raise Hutchison Whampoa's stock price, and at the worst, stabilize Hutchison Whampoa's stock price."

"Raise and stabilize Hutchison's stock price? Could it be that you, HSBC, want to sell now?"

Lin Baicheng's heart moved when he heard the words, he was not stupid, he knew HSBC's plan when Shen Porridge said that.

Shen Congee nodded: "That's right, that's right."

"Shen Daban, why are you shipping the goods now?"

Lin Baicheng was very puzzled: "If I'm not wrong, the average stock price of Hutchison you bought will not be lower than 45 Hong Kong dollars. Even if you sell it at an average price of 60 Hong Kong dollars, the profit will be a little more than 30%. I can only earn 3 million Hong Kong dollars with an investment of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and you HSBC lent me 3 billion Hong Kong dollars at a low interest rate, which is [-] million Hong Kong dollars cheaper, so there is almost no profit."

"Unless you HSBC buy more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, and the average purchase price is lower than I estimated, so you earn more, otherwise there is no reason to do this kind of business that does not make any money. I am not saying Is it wrong, Taipan Shen?"

"Lin Sheng, what you said is not wrong. Our HSBC investment this time is indeed more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, so as long as the average selling price is not less than 60 Hong Kong dollars, the profit will not be less than 3 million Hong Kong dollars. What's more, I’m not here to discuss with you, Lin Sheng, to see if we can raise Hutchison’s stock price, and it’s best to break through the previous high and raise the stock price to 70 Hong Kong dollars.”

Shen Congee wants to sell the stock now, but he doesn't want to arouse Lin Baicheng's suspicion, so he didn't say that HSBC's buying cost is actually higher, reaching a little more than 50 Hong Kong dollars. Just over 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

HSBC doesn't want to make a loss-making business, so it doesn't want to sell at an average price of 60 Hong Kong dollars, so it wants to increase Hutchison's stock price, and then sell its stocks at a higher stock price.

"Dapan Shen, since we have an agreement, I will not regret it. I will cooperate with you to raise the stock price so that you can ship. But I will only cooperate with you once. If you do not sell when the stock price rises, then I will cooperate with you Huang's stock price has fallen again, then I will no longer cooperate with you to raise the stock price."

Lin Baicheng was not prepared to go back on his word, not to mention that he was not prepared to quarrel with HSBC, even if he did, he was not prepared to tear up the agreement.Reputation is very important in shopping malls. It is easy to throw away this thing and difficult to pick it up. He will not damage his business reputation just because of a small profit.

"Lin Sheng really kept his word. We agreed in advance that we would only be promoted once, so we wouldn't bother Lin Sheng many times."

Shen Congee nodded with a smile, and then reminded: "But Lin Sheng, as we said before, when the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa is lower than 65 Hong Kong dollars, in order to cooperate with the increase, the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa must be increased by 20% on the original basis." %. Based on the current stock price of about 60 Hong Kong dollars, the high point of the pull-up must be 72 Hong Kong dollars, otherwise it will not be counted.”

"I know that."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "But I mainly cooperate with you HSBC to release good news, and you are the main contributor. I can't conjure good news for Hutchison out of thin air."

"Lin Sheng, I know this, but I hope Lin Sheng can help you think about it. After all, we have an agreement, don't we?"

Shen Congee didn't want to let Lin Baicheng go just like that, the benefits had already been taken by Lin Baicheng, and of course Lin Baicheng's efforts were needed now.

"Of course, I'll try my best."

Although Lin Baicheng is not eager for HSBC to sell the Hutchison stock he owns, but if HSBC wants to sell it, he certainly doesn't mind helping, because he knows very well that the stock price behind Hutchison will rise very sharply, and he has no choice but to let HSBC make money.

The reason why Lin Baicheng agreed to cooperate with HSBC and reached an agreement with HSBC was because he knew very well that if HSBC wanted to do more with Hutchison Whampoa, even without his cooperation, HSBC would have a way, but It's more troublesome and more variable.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng still chose to cooperate with HSBC in line with the principle of no profit, no profit.

"Shen Daban, I have an idea, and I need your HSBC's help."

"Lin Sheng, please tell me."

"Didn't Hutchison invest more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in the property last year? Now the land price in Xiangjiang has risen a lot compared to last year, and the property has increased even more. So I want to sell a property. You HSBC will also help you find it. A company that intends to acquire, and provide loan support for the acquisition of that company, after all, it is an acquisition of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars at least.”

"That's no problem, HSBC will help."

Shen Cong heard the words and agreed without even thinking about it. HSBC will help find the company to be acquired, and provide loan support to the company, as well as earn some interest. Why not do it.

Lin Baicheng reminded: "Shen Daban, the price of the property sold this time should be higher, and it is better for Hutchison Huang to make a lot of profits, otherwise it will not be much good, so HSBC should stand by Hutchison Huang and help Hehuang Huang is the one who bargains."

"Lin Sheng, don't worry, HSBC will definitely stand by Hutchison."

Shen Congee responded with a smile, seeing Lin Baicheng's cooperation now, he actually doubted whether his judgment was correct.However, it is also possible that Lin Baicheng also wants to increase the stock price so that he can sell the stock together, which is not impossible.

"I still don't want to think so much. As long as I can sell Hutchison shares at an average price of 65 Hong Kong dollars, then HSBC's action this time will not be considered a loss. Now that the decision has been made, don't think too much, so as not to interfere. judge for yourself."

Shen Congee decided not to think too much, and sold the shares of Hutchison Whampoa according to the original plan, anyway, as long as there is no loss in this operation.

"In addition to what I said, it is a coincidence that I am going to build a Soviet-style garden, and the land has already been bought by Hutchison from the Hong Kong government. This time, the investment alone exceeds one billion Hong Kong dollars, and Hutchison's profits According to market conditions, at least one billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not a small benefit.”

Lin Baicheng actually planned to go to Victoria Peak to buy a better villa at the beginning, but at that time he did not expect to make so much money now, and now he no longer looks down on those villas on Victoria Peak, and plans to find another bigger place to build The Soviet-style garden, combined with modern technology, will serve as the future residence of the Lin family.

"Lin Sheng, your investment is really great."

Shen Congee couldn't help being a little envious when he heard the words. It was really a big deal for him to spend more than one billion Hong Kong dollars on the residence, and he couldn't do it himself.

Lin Baicheng smiled, and then said: "These two benefits are the only ones I can think of at the moment. I am worried that these two benefits will not be able to raise Hutchison's stock price above 70 Hong Kong dollars, so you need HSBC to do it. "

"If there is a need, we at HSBC will definitely help. Don't worry about that, Lin Sheng."

Shen Congee immediately said that the reason for raising Hutchison Whampoa's stock price was HSBC's shipment, and of course HSBC would contribute.

Lin Baicheng nodded: "Okay, let's talk when you need my cooperation."

Shen Congee said: "Lin Sheng, you just came back from Los Angeles, so I won't disturb your rest."

The two didn't talk anymore and left separately.

After leaving, Lin Baicheng went back to the villa in Repulse Bay, even though there are only servants and bodyguards in the house now, and the family members are all in Los Angeles.

In the evening, Lin Baicheng did not have dinner at the villa in Repulse Bay, but went to eat with Guan Zhilin in another place.

This time, Lin Baicheng had not been away from Xiangjiang for a short time. Knowing that Lin Baicheng was back today, Guan Zhilin asked Lin Baicheng to accompany her to eat and go shopping, and to eat, shop and chat with a beautiful girl like her. Of course, Lin Baicheng had no reason to refuse.

In fact, Zhao Yazhi also wanted to meet Lin Baicheng today, to have an interview with Lin Baicheng, and talk about helping her find her son.Lin Baicheng agreed to the interview, but he made an appointment after ten o'clock in the evening, and the place was the villa where the two of them left their memories, so Zhao Yazhi agreed after hesitation.

Compared to Zhao Yazhi, who was just trading, Lin Baicheng of course liked Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong more, so accompanying Guan Zhilin was a higher priority, and he paid more attention to it.On Zhao Yazhi's side, it's enough for him to lose his kidney.

During the meal, Guan Zhilin asked, "Brother Lin, how long can you stay this time?"

"There is no way to be sure about this, but if there is no emergency, it should be able to stay until after the Miss Asia contest in August is over."

Lin Baicheng said that this year's Miss Asia Contest has already started to select, and the time is still set in August, but the specific time may not be the same as last year, and may not be the same day.

Miss Asia selects beautiful beauties. As long as he is not too busy, Lin Baicheng will of course spare time to pay attention, and he will be one of the judges in the finals.

"That didn't take long."

Guan Zhilin secretly calculated that the Miss Asia Contest is only about half a month away.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I have many companies abroad. Besides, even in Xiangjiang, I don't have that much free time. Sometimes I'm very busy."

Lin Baicheng smiled. In fact, with his current wealth, it would be very easy for him to be relaxed and unrestrained. The net worth of more than [-] billion Hong Kong dollars is enough for him to squander his entire life.

However, since he was reborn and now has so much wealth, it is impossible to say that Lin Baicheng does not want to achieve a big career.He not only wants to be a Xiangjiang tycoon, but also an Asian tycoon, and even a world tycoon.

Therefore, for the sake of the ambition in his heart, he can't relax too much, he can't let go of his career, he must keep himself busy when he should be busy, and he can't indulge in tenderness.

Guan Zhilin asked expectantly: "Brother Lin, if you go abroad next time, can I go with you?"

"As long as you can convince your parents, I'll take you out to play when I have a chance."

After Lin Baicheng thought about it, he didn't refuse. Guan Meiren was willing to stay by his side all the time, and it was too late for him to be happy.

"Then we can make a deal!"

Guan Zhilin was very happy when she heard the words, she believed that she could convince her parents.

"Well, it's settled."

Looking at the smiling Guan Meiren in front of him, Lin Baicheng couldn't help being infected, and a smile appeared on his face.

After nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Baicheng asked his bodyguards to send Guan Zhilin back, and he himself went to meet Zhao Yazhi in the villa that he had made an appointment with Zhao Yazhi. Tonight he could relive his old dreams and continue his relationship.
