Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 513 Carrian Group (Two in One)

On Saturday, Lin Baicheng took Wei Li to meet Shen Congee. Shen Congee said that he wanted to introduce a buyer of the Golden Gate Building to him, and the two sides had a brief chat first.

Because the two parties were discussing the transaction of the Golden Gate Building, there was a need for confidentiality, so they did not meet in public, but made an appointment at a more private place.

Lin Baicheng went with his bodyguards, but when he saw Shen Porridge and the others, he asked the bodyguards to wait outside.Of course Shen Congee didn't come alone today, he brought two men with him.

"Both of you, this is Lin Baicheng, Lin Sheng, and this is Wei Li from Hutchison Whampoa. I don't think I need to introduce them in detail."

Shen Congee first introduced Lin Baicheng and the others to the people he brought.

One of them immediately said: "Of course, I have been famous for Lin Sheng's name for a long time, and Wei Li Dapan manages Hutchison Whampoa in an orderly manner, which is obvious to all."

"Mr. Shen, who are these two?"

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded to the two, then looked at Shen Congee.

Shen Congee immediately introduced: "This is the buyer of Jinmen Building, Mr. Chen Songqing, the owner of Carrian Group, and the other is Chen Sheng's partner Zhong Zhengwen Zhongsheng. The Zhong brothers are also well-known real estate developers in Xiangjiang. .”

"Carrian Group?"

Lin Baicheng had no impression of Chen Songqing and Zhong Zhengwen, but when it came to Carrian Group, he immediately recalled it.If he remembers correctly, the case of Carrian Group can be said to be the Hong Kong version of the case of Enron, an American energy giant.

Of course, the Carrian Group capsized in 82, while Enron did not capsize until the 21st century. On the contrary, Carrian Group had an accident earlier.

The reason why we say that the Carrian Group incident is the Xiangjiang version of the Enron incident is because the Enron incident has a greater influence. Before the accident, Enron was at the forefront of the world's top [-] companies, with a market value of nearly [-] billion U.S. dollars. The size of Enron is simply incomparable, so it can only become a copy of the latter.

Lin Baicheng, who has written entertainment articles, knows that Carrian Group had an accident in 82, and the reason for the accident was financial fraud.Through a series of means, a leather bag company or a small company is turned into a large company with extremely high profits, and then the stock price continues to rise, and the market value continues to rise, until this kind of fraud can no longer be played, it is time for the company to go bankrupt.

Lin Baicheng just knew about this incident and remembered the Carrian Group. As for who the boss of this company is, he didn't specifically find out.After all, it was about the 80s, and he was only writing novels back then, and he only went to understand the details when he was full.

"Why, Lin Sheng knows Carrian Group?"

Seeing that Lin Baicheng was stunned, Shen Porridge thought that Lin Baicheng knew something about Carrian Group.

"I seem to have heard from someone that the company's performance is good."

Lin Baicheng said casually that he was not going to expose Chen Songqing, after all, he had no evidence at all now, and it would not do him any good to expose Chen Songqing.He came here today to talk about the sale of the Golden Gate Building. As long as Carrian Group has the money to buy it, the two parties can trade. He doesn't care whether Carrian Group got the money from Chen Songqing.

"It's just a small fight, and it's incomparable with Lin Sheng's property under your name."

Chen Songqing immediately said that he was actually a little jealous of Lin Baicheng, because Lin Baicheng became the richest man in Hong Kong in just two years, and he risked breaking the law to save about tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.Although he has hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in funds that he can operate now, the money is not his, but he borrowed from the bank.

After hearing this, Wei Li said: "Chen Sheng is being modest. Since you can afford the Golden Gate Building, it means that your company is not small. Once this transaction is successful, Carrian Group will definitely make a splash in Xiangjiang."

"Thank you for your good words, Mr. Wei Li, and I hope we can reach a good result today."

Chen Songqing was actually planning to acquire a large property to build the reputation of Carrian Group. Unexpectedly, it just so happened that Hutchison Whampoa was going to sell the Golden Gate Building. As the buyer, Carrian Group will surely become famous and cause a sensation in Hong Kong, making more people believe that there is a powerful capital behind Carrian Group, and his story can even draw bigger cakes.

"Let's talk about the transaction of the Golden Gate Building."

Lin Baicheng said aloud at the right time, a few polite words are almost enough.

"It's time to talk about business."

Shen Congee nodded slightly, and then said to Lin Baicheng: "Lin Sheng, among the buyers contacted by HSBC recently, Chen Sheng from Carrian Group is the most sincere. However, before discussing the transaction price, there are some things that need to be discussed first. Only in front."

"Teacher Shen, tell me."

Lin Baicheng stretched out his hand to signal.

Shen Congee said: "It's mainly related to the payment of funds. Carrian Group can't immediately deliver all the funds to Hutchison Whampoa. In fact, let alone Carrian Group, I want to exchange it with any company at the transaction price of Jinmen Building." , there will be difficulties in payment.”

"This can be discussed."

Wei Li looked at Lin Baicheng as he spoke, and seeing that he didn't stop him, he continued: "At the beginning, you can only pay half of the amount, and the remaining half, as long as you can complete the payment within half a year. The extension of half a year, already It is the maximum deadline that Hutchison Whampoa can give."

"Six months is indeed long enough."

Shen Porridge nodded first, but then said: "But it's not a matter of the deadline, it's that Carrian Group doesn't have that much money. Carrian Group hopes to only pay [-] million Hong Kong dollars in cash, and the remaining funds will be in the form of transfer of shares. Otherwise, if you pay too much cash, it will be detrimental to the development of Carrian Group itself.”

Wei Li looked directly at Chen Songqing when he heard the words: "Chen Sheng, we hope that you can pay cash more than the shares of your company. You may not like to hear what I say. Instead of investing in your company, we might as well use the funds to develop our own company of."

Chen Songqing was not angry when he heard the words. After he looked at Lin Baicheng, he said: "Lin Sheng, Mr. Wei Li, I know that such a transaction method is not good for Hutchison Whampoa. It has already been calculated on the transaction price and will make some compensation. .”

Lin Baicheng said aloud: "Tell me how much you are willing to pay for the Golden Gate Building."

"10 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

Chen Songqing raised her index finger and said solemnly: "I think this price is definitely the highest bid among all potential buyers, and there will be no more buyers with higher bids."

Wei Li couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this. To be honest, the 10 billion Hong Kong dollars offered by Carriand Group is indeed a high price. Don't look at Hutchison Whampoa's external selling price of 11 billion Hong Kong dollars, but this is just a asking price. I thought about selling it at such a high price, and even felt that it might not be sold for 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. This price is indeed very sincere.

However, although he felt that Carrian Group was very sincere, Wei Li didn't say anything, but looked at Lin Baicheng. This kind of matter must be decided by Lin Baicheng.

"The price of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars is indeed not low, but it is not the highest."

Lin Baicheng said indifferently: "What's more, you only pay half in cash, and the other half has to be converted into shares. We don't know how the Carrian Group will develop in the future. What if it goes bankrupt? You know, last year When I bought the Golden Gate Building, I spent 6.1 million Hong Kong dollars, once the shares become worthless, then the Golden Gate Building is a failed investment.”

"It's only a little over 10 million, and I can still afford to lose, but the problem is that the damage to my reputation caused by investment failure will cause me to lose more, so the transaction price of [-] billion Hong Kong dollars is actually no problem, as long as it is a cash transaction."

"Lin Sheng, although Chen Sheng's performance in recent years is not comparable to yours, it is not bad. I believe Carrian Group will not go bankrupt, and will even develop better. Therefore, the remaining funds are converted into In terms of shares, maybe you can earn more in a year or two."

Shen Congee said out loud that he wanted to broker this deal, of course he had to speak for Chen Songqing.

"Lin Sheng, I know your concerns, but you don't have to worry. I already have a plan to list Carrian Group in my heart. In about half a year, Carrian Group will complete the listing. At that time, if you want to If you have cash, you can completely sell the shares in your hand."

Chen Songqing believes that as long as Carrian Group can complete the transfer transaction of Golden Gate Building with Hutchison Whampoa, the reputation of Carrian Group will be greatly enhanced. The company's market capitalization is pushed higher.

"If Carrian Group can go public within half a year, then I can accept this payment method."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly. Even if Carrian Group has financial fraud, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, he will not always hold the shares of Carrian Group. He himself and the energy of Hutchison Whampoa are not afraid that they will not be able to collect the money.

"If you, Chen Sheng, agree to write Carrian Group's listing date in the contract as a transaction condition, then we only need to discuss the specific transfer price and the valuation of Carrian Group itself, then I think there will be no problem with this transaction. .”

"No problem, the time to market can be written on the contract as a condition."

Chen Songqing agreed without even thinking about it. For him, the most important thing to reach this deal with Hutchison Whampoa is to use the reputation of Hutchison Whampoa and Lin Baicheng to expand the reputation of Carrian Group.

"Well, I will ask Wei Li to arrange a special person to discuss the specific transaction price of the Golden Gate Building and the valuation of Carrian Group itself. Let's talk about this today."

Lin Baicheng nodded. After all, it is a transaction involving 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is impossible to negotiate it today. Therefore, the two parties will talk slowly later. Lin Baicheng decided to leave this matter to Wei Li.

Chen Songqing suppressed the joy in her heart: "Okay, let's talk about this first today, and I wish us a successful cooperation."

"I wish you a successful cooperation."

Shen Congee was also very happy when he saw this. Not surprisingly, Hutchison Whampoa and Carrian Group will reach a transfer transaction of the Golden Gate Building. After this news is announced, the stock price will definitely rise, which will help HSBC sell its stocks .At the same time, HSBC also negotiated a 3 million Hong Kong dollar loan for Carrian Group, which can make a fortune here.

After they chatted for a while, they left.

Lin Baicheng's extended Lincoln contains Wei Li.

"Wei Li, I'll leave the rest of the negotiation to you. I think you should know how to do it."

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will try my best to sell the Golden Gate Building at a higher price, and at the same time try to lower the valuation of Carrian Group to create more profits for the company."

"Well, as I thought."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly, it would save trouble to talk to smart people.

Wei Li asked aloud, "Boss Lin, after Carrian Group goes public, should we sell our shares immediately?"

"It's not urgent. When the time comes, we will see how the market is doing and how Carrian Group's performance is, and then we will make a decision."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand, he thinks, since a master of financial fraud like Chen Songqing, even HSBC can hide it, there will be no problem at first, and Hutchison Whampoa can definitely make more money in the process.

Even after the market value of Carrian Group has reached a certain height, they can arrange people to conduct investigations, short sell Carrian Group before the accident, and make a fortune again.

Of course, if he wants to empty Carrian Group to make money, Lin Baicheng will definitely not use any company related to him, so as not to affect his reputation.At that time, many people must be deceived and lose money, but he makes a lot of money, it will be too conspicuous, and he is not so stupid if he is not easy to be a target.

"Ok."

"By the way, our relationship with Carrian Group is just a business relationship. Remember not to be used by Chen Songqing to make the outside world think that we are close partners or something. It would be bad if something happened to implicate us."

"Mr. Lin, do you mean that there is a problem with Carrian Group?"

"No, what I mean is to be careful not to let others use the company's reputation to make money."

"I understand what you mean, and I will pay attention."

Lin Baicheng said it so clearly, Wei Li still didn't understand.

Regardless of whether Wei Li really understands it or not, Lin Baicheng will tell Qin Lan to pay attention to this matter later, anyway, he will never let his reputation be used by Chen Songqing.Once something happens to Chen Songqing, he doesn't want to be implicated. Although the other party can't implicate him, it is not a good thing to be implicated.

On the other side, Chen Songqing and Zhong Zhengwen are very happy, they can already see the bright future of Carrian Group.Using the huge transaction of the Golden Gate Building to expand its reputation, more people believe that Carrian Group has powerful capital behind it, and at the same time, through some means, it can create high profits for Carrian Group, creating conditions for subsequent companies to go public.

Once their plan is successful, their net worth will skyrocket by at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, or even more. This is a huge sum that they will not be able to earn even if they work hard and legally for more than ten years.
