Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 518 Neighbors, benefit cooperation (two in one)

Repulse Bay, the villas here are not only the one of Lin Baicheng's family.

That night, Lin Baicheng went to a villa near his own villa to attend the dinner.

"Mr. Lin, you are welcome."

Iwasaki Mine Ryu came to the door to personally greet the guest Lin Baicheng.

"This is Iwasaki-kun's relocation dinner, so there's no reason for me not to come."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile that Iwasaki Mineryu moved into this villa today, and he will live here often as he will work in Xiangjiang in the next few years.

"Lin Jun, we will be neighbors from now on."

It is precisely because Lin Baicheng lives nearby that Iwasaki Mineryu bought the villa here at a premium price.However, he also heard that Lin Baicheng will build a new residence in Tuen Mun, New Territories, but the construction of the new residence will take at least one or two years, and it will not be a neighbor by then.

Lin Baicheng said with a smile: "From now on, let's get closer."

"Mr. Lin, please come inside."

Iwasaki Minelong took Lin Baicheng into the villa.

"Bao Sheng, Zheng Sheng, and Guo Sheng should arrive soon."

Lin Baicheng is not the only guest tonight. Iwasaki Minelong, who has no connections in Xiangjiang, asked Lin Baicheng to help introduce some people to him. Lin Baicheng invited Bao Yugang, Guo Henian, and Zheng Yudong who were relatively close. people.

In fact, the relationship between Lin Baicheng and Huo Yingdong is not bad, but Huo Yingdong is from the red family, and Iwasaki Mineryu is Japanese, so Lin Baicheng felt that it was inappropriate to introduce the two of them, so he did not invite Huo Yingdong.

"It's good that Mr. Bao can come."

Among the three, Mineryu Iwasaki knew Bao Yugang, because the Sino-Ocean Import and Export Trading Company is a joint venture company, and as one of the five founders, if everyone didn't know each other, even with Lin Baicheng as the middleman, it would be unreasonable .

Before Bao Yugang and the three of them came, Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Mineryu were chatting. Out of curiosity, Lin Baicheng asked Iwasaki Mineryu if he had bought shares in Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC.

Regarding this matter, Iwasaki Mineryu is not going to hide it from Lin Baicheng: "Because I have a good relationship with Mr. Lin, and you have not concealed it from the outside world. I am worried that HSBC will know that I am after the acquisition. I suspect that you are Mr. Lin who instructed me to do this. So I entrusted Suntory Co., Ltd. in my country to buy the shares of Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC on its behalf.”

"Speaking of this matter, when I first asked Suntory Co., Ltd. for help, I promised their company to match up with Watsons under the name of Hutchison Whampoa after the business was over, and let their company's products be placed in Watsons' supermarkets Sales, this matter requires Lin Jun to help you."

This is a trivial matter, so Lin Baicheng nodded and said: "I will greet Cheng Yufeng who is in charge of Watsons. As long as Suntory's products are suitable, there is no problem selling them in Watsons supermarkets."

Iwasaki Mineryu said: "I only agreed to help make connections. If Watsons feels that the cooperation between the two parties is not good for Watsons, Mr. Lin, you don't have to force it."

"I know that."

Lin Baicheng nodded with a smile, without Iwasaki Mineryu saying, if the cooperation between the two parties is not good for Watsons, Lin Baicheng would not give Iwasaki Mineryu this face.

Mineryu Iwasaki: "Actually, just today, Suntory and HSBC completed the share transfer transaction, and bought 64.5 million shares from HSBC at a price of 1200 Hong Kong dollars per share, totaling 7.74 million Hong Kong dollars."

"The transaction has been completed? Why didn't it appear in the newspaper?"

Lin Baicheng was very surprised to hear this. This is a transaction of nearly 8 million Hong Kong dollars, which is definitely not a small amount in this era. The announcement of the relevant transaction will definitely cause a big sensation.

"This is a request from HSBC."

Iwasaki Mineryu explained: "HSBC requested that the relevant transaction not be announced to the public within half a month, because it has no impact, so I agreed."

"HSBC's request?"

Lin Baicheng understood what was going on as soon as he heard it: "HSBC is going to sell all the Hutchison Whampoa stocks in its hands, so I don't want your transaction to be announced, so as not to affect the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa."

"I think so too."

Iwasaki Mineryu nodded in agreement.

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but looked at him and said, "Iwasaki-kun, you Mitsubishi Bank invested nearly 8 million Hong Kong dollars at once. This is not a small sum. Is the related investment too big?"

"I believe in your judgment Lin Jun, naturally you need to increase investment."

Iwasaki Mineryu said immediately: "If the investment capital of the head office is only 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in the first phase, some funds must be reserved for other investments. I would like to buy more Hutchison Whampoa shares."

"Iwasaki-kun, your trust will be rewarded."

Lin Baicheng smiled: "I dare not say that the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa will not adjust and decline in the future, but I can guarantee that if the time is extended to one or two years, the current stock price of Hutchison Whampoa must be at the bottom, Iwasaki-kun You won't lose money on this investment."

After a pause, Lin Baicheng continued: "Iwasaki-kun, you also know that I am long gold futures, and Hutchison Whampoa's US$2 million investment was also used by me to long gold futures. Now I have made a lot of profits. Once the profits With the return, the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa will inevitably rise sharply, and it will surely break through the previous high of 70 Hong Kong dollars."

Iwasaki Mineryu said: "Actually, I have already guessed this point. Bailong Commercial Club's funds are long gold futures. It makes no sense that Hutchison Whampoa's funds, Mr. Lin, you will use them to short gold futures or make other investments. In the absence of a sharp drop in international gold prices, the current market value of Hutchison Whampoa is not high, which is an important reason why the head office agreed so quickly for me to buy shares in Hutchison Whampoa.”

"So, Iwasaki-kun, your investment will not lose money."

Lin Baicheng knew that this matter could not be hidden from Mineryu Iwasaki, so he just said it.However, Mineryu Iwasaki and the others can only rely on guesses about the leverage multiples used by Hutchison Whampoa, and they may not be correct.

After all, Bailong Commercial Club used 5 times leverage for financing, while Hutchison Whampoa used 10 times leverage. Mineryu Iwasaki and the others would subconsciously think that Hutchison Whampoa also used 5 times leverage.

"That is, I think as long as you trust Lin Jun, you will never lose money."

Iwasaki Mineryu nodded immediately, and he would always trust Lin Baicheng before his investment suffered a huge loss.

Facing Iwasaki Mineryu's flattery, Lin Baicheng is still very happy, and he also has vanity, especially when Iwasaki Mineryu is not an ordinary person, but a child of a big family.

Of course, Lin Baicheng is also very clear that Iwasaki Mineryu praises him so much now because he can bring Iwasaki Mineryu money and bring benefits to Iwasaki Mineryu. The relationship between the two is maintained by profit. Then the relationship between the two will inevitably change, at least Mineryu Iwasaki will no longer flatter him so much.

And the reason why Lin Baicheng brought Iwasaki Mineryu to make money was because Iwasaki Mineryu could bring him benefits.Not to mention that the cooperation of Bailong Commercial Club will bring him huge benefits in a few years, just doing something through Iwasaki Minelong's contacts in Japan can bring benefits to Lin Baicheng.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng brought Iwasaki Mineryu to make money in order to maintain the relationship between the two. Everyone has their own income, and only in this way can their relationship be maintained.

Not long after, a servant said that a vehicle was coming to the villa. Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Mineryu stopped to chat and went outside the villa to pick up people.

Bao Yugang, Guo Henian, and Zheng Yudong came here almost at the same time.

A group of people went into the villa and chatted while eating.

Of course, before Bao Yugang and the three of them came over, Lin Baicheng introduced Guo Henian and Zheng Yudong to Iwasaki Fenglong, and at the same time introduced Iwasaki Fenglong to them, so that they could have a good relationship with each other. a basic understanding.

Guo Henian and Zheng Yudong are also very happy to get to know Iwasaki Mineryu, which is only good for them and not bad for them.

Bao Yugang took the lead in expressing his opinion: "In the future, if you have any good projects, you can work together to make money together."

Guo Henian echoed: "What Bao Sheng said was sharing resources and working together."

"It's the same as Sino-Ocean Import and Export Trading Company."

Iwasaki Mineryu said the same.

"Speaking of which, Lin Sheng, Bao Sheng, and Mr. Iwasaki, how is the profit of the Sino-Ocean Import and Export Trading Company that you cooperate with this year?"

Zheng Yudong couldn't help asking, he really wanted to know how profitable this company was.

Bao Yugang and Iwasaki Mineryu couldn't help looking at Lin Baicheng when they heard the words.

Lin Baicheng smiled and said: "There is nothing that cannot be said. The net profit of Sino-Ocean Trading as of July this year was about 6000 million Hong Kong dollars. By the end of the year, the net profit should be about 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars."

Sino-Ocean Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd. was established in early March this year when Lin Baicheng and others jointly purchased the foreign trade business from Hutchison Whampoa. Due to changes in the company's personnel, the business changed, and the profits in the first two months were still relatively high. Less.

After the integration of the company is completed, due to the joint efforts of all directors, the monthly profit of the foreign trade company can be much higher than when it was in the hands of Hutchison Whampoa. Based on the current average monthly net profit, it can reach about 1500 million Hong Kong dollars.

This is only the current monthly profit. It is not that ocean trading will not expand its business. If it is done well, its annual net profit will only be higher.Of course, if the business is affected, it is not impossible to reduce the net profit every year.

After hearing this, Zheng Yudong couldn't help but said: "If there is a net profit of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars this year, then if there is no change next year, the net profit will be at least 2 million Hong Kong dollars. The three of you, Lin Sheng, have done a good business."

Guo Henian made a joke: "So, Hutchison sold its foreign trade business for HK$9.2 million and sold it at a loss."

"The original selling price was not low. The reason why the ocean trade can have such a high profit now is thanks to Iwasaki-kun, Smith, and Rockefeller. Without the help of their connections, the ocean trade would not have such a high profit. "

Lin Baicheng explained.

Seeing Lin Baicheng's explanation, Guo Henian hurriedly said: "Lin Sheng doesn't need to explain, I'm just joking. I also know the profit of the foreign trade business when it was in the hands of Hutchison Whampoa."

Bao Yugang: "From this incident, we can see the benefits of everyone working together. In the future, if we have any good projects, we can use them to work together, and we can work together to make money together."

"Mitsubishi Bank has just entered Xiangjiang, and I need a lot of care from you in the future."

Iwasaki Mineryu offered a toast to Lin Baicheng and others while speaking.

Lin Baicheng and others responded verbally, no matter what they thought, superficial skills would definitely do it.

Putting down his wine glass, Zheng Yutong looked at Lin Baicheng and said, "Among the few of us, Lin Sheng has the most flexible mind and the best vision. If we talk about cooperation, we still have to rely on Lin Sheng in the end."

"Zheng Sheng is right."

Guo Henian nodded in agreement, putting a high hat on Lin Baicheng, which was a favor without cost.

"If you have a chance, let's work together."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile, but any cooperation he mentioned is either inconvenient for him, or requires resources such as other people's contacts. Not stupid.

"Come on, let's toast Lin Sheng together!"

"You guys are too polite, everyone helps each other and cooperates together."

Lin Baicheng clinked glasses with several people.

The dinner time passed while the five of them were eating and chatting. After dinner, Lin Baicheng and the others did not leave immediately, but sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.

The five people chatted for a while, and it didn't take long to talk about Hutchison Whampoa Company, the topic started by Zheng Yudong.

"Lin Sheng, I think the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa has not risen much recently under the stimulus of good news, and the daily turnover is not low. Does this mean that the stock price has reached a high point again in the short term?"

The five people present now all hold shares in Hutchison Whampoa. Zheng Yudong bought it when Hutchison Whampoa was short-sold last time. At that time, Hutchison Whampoa was estimated to be less than 30 Hong Kong dollars. Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang and two people.

"Short-term fluctuations are really difficult to judge. There are too many influencing factors. I can say a few words about long-term trends. If you are not in a hurry to spend money or want to do short-term business, Zheng Sheng, you can continue to hold and record Whampoa's stock, the long-term return will not let you down."

In fact, Lin Baicheng thinks that the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa is very likely to adjust in the short term, because Golden Fleece Company has sold the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, and HSBC is also selling them. , It is difficult for the stock price not to fall.

"I'm not in a hurry to use the money, but the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa fluctuates a lot, so I want to do short-term trade."

Zheng Yutong said that based on the market value of Hutchison Whampoa stock he holds, if there is a 10% adjustment in Hutchison Whampoa, he can earn about 2000 million Hong Kong dollars in a short-term trade, which is not a small amount.

Bao Yugang said: "I also have a little Hutchison stock in my hand, but I believe in Lin Sheng, and I will always hold it."

"I am not going to sell Hutchison's stock for the time being. I am optimistic about Hutchison's long-term development."

Guo Henian, who holds 8.1% of Hutchison Whampoa shares, has no thought of continuing to increase his holdings. At the same time, he also has the idea of ​​reducing his holdings at a high level, but he will only reduce his holdings to 5% at most and keep his seat on the board of Hutchison Whampoa.

"I recently bought some Hutchison stocks as investment targets for the bank."

Mineryu Iwasaki also said something, but he did not say how many shares he bought or whether he bought them from HSBC.

Lin Baicheng said: "If Zheng Sheng wants to do short-term work, he can only judge for himself."

"Looks like I'll have to think about it again."

Zheng Yutong said thoughtfully, Bao Yugang and Guo Henian are not going to sell the shares of Hutchison Whampoa now, and Iwasaki Mineryu even bought the shares at the current price, of course he will not insist on this price Sell ​​the stock and decide to think it over again.

Regarding Zheng Yudong's decision, Lin Baicheng and others didn't say anything, and started talking about other things.The stock is owned by Zheng Yudong, so it is difficult for them to give specific advice. After all, if they are right, they will only get a thank you. If they are wrong, it will be troublesome.
