Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 523 Preparation in advance, temporary decision (two in one)

When Lin Baicheng returned to Xiangjiang, the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa had fallen below the price of 50 Hong Kong dollars, and the funds of Lin Baicheng and his cooperation had begun to buy in a small amount from the stock market.

Since it is a bottom-hunting, Lin Baicheng and others must not suddenly buy in large quantities, otherwise the market will see a large amount of funds entering the market, and the stock price will rise accordingly, and many people will definitely follow suit, causing the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa to continue to rise. Others bought fewer stocks with the same amount of money.

Lin Baicheng only paid a little attention to this matter, anyway, there are specialized personnel for the specific operation.

It was another matter that made Lin Baicheng more concerned. Bill Harveys from the United States reported to him that Bill Gates and Paul Allen of Microsoft wanted to meet Lin Baicheng and talk to him again. .

Lin Baicheng asked Bill Gates what they wanted to talk about. Bill Harveys said that he had asked this question, and Bill Gates and the others also answered, saying that they hoped to talk to Lin Baicheng about the asset allocation of Microsoft Corporation. Computer operating systems can share patents and technology.

"You tell Bill Gates and them that it is impossible to share the patent and technology of the computer operating system. Unless this technology is transferred to me as a certain asset, otherwise, let's maintain the status quo."

Sharing technology and patents is not what Lin Baicheng wants. Once he agrees to such a condition, Bill Gates and others with the support of IBM will surely be able to quickly develop their new company "Blue Software". It didn't work either.

Sometimes patented technology is very useful, but if it cannot occupy the market, it is useless even if the technology is better, let alone the same technology.

"Yes, Chairman!"

Bill Harveys naturally responded.

Lin Baicheng suddenly said: "Did they encounter any difficulties? Otherwise, they would have no reason to suddenly want to make peace with me."

"Yes."

Bill Harveys said: "The person I arranged to go in said that 'Blue Software' wanted to bypass Microsoft's computer operating system patents and run with brand-new technical codes, but the development process was not very smooth, although it is expected to be able to do so. Arrived, but it will take a long time."

"And IBM's reminder is more urgent, isn't it?"

Without Bill Harveys going on, Lin Baicheng had already guessed.

Bill Harveys: "Yeah, that should be the case."

Lin Baicheng ordered: "Since this is the case, it is even more impossible to let them do what they want. Just do as I say."

"Yes!"

Of course, Lin Baicheng wants to drag Bill Gates and the others back. This will not only allow the "Blue Software" company to develop a new computer operating system that bypasses patents later, but also allow IBM's personal computer to be launched later. Buy more time.

Afterwards, Lin Baicheng contacted Isabella.

"Bella, how is the company's computer operating system research and development going?"

"Because a few people were recruited from Microsoft and they know the general situation of Microsoft's computer operating system, so the current research and development is going smoothly, but the specific product will not be released until next year at the earliest."

Isabella replied.

"Well, I know what's in my mind."

Lin Baicheng turned and said: "The company's current development should be relatively smooth, right? With more than one billion US dollars in financing, the company is now considered to be rich and powerful."

Isabella: "In addition to the two technologies currently being developed, the company is focusing more funds and energy on the development of overseas markets in order to increase more revenue for the company. So far, the progress is good."

"That's good, then so be it."

Lin Baicheng actually knew this, and Bill Harveys would report to him, just to show that he valued and paid attention to the company.

"Chairman, please wait a moment."

Isabella spoke up immediately.

"Is there a problem?"

Lin Baicheng put the microphone to his ear again.

Isabella said solemnly: "Chairman, thank you very much for your interest in me as the manager of the company. I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations. If, if I can develop the company well in a few years , I also hope that you, the chairman, will transfer me to a position in another company, and I hope to have more opportunities to practice and make up for my lack of work experience."

When she said this, she was actually showing her loyalty in disguise, telling Lin Baicheng that she would still work for Lin Baicheng in the future and would always be a soldier under Lin Baicheng.

"Okay, I see, you work hard, I look forward to your performance."

Lin Baicheng could also hear the meaning, thinking that Isabella was the first to follow him after all, so he still said: "My career will only get bigger and bigger, as long as you have the ability, then you have the opportunity to be in the top position .”

"Thank you, Chairman!"

Isabella couldn't help being happy when she heard the words, which showed that Lin Baicheng still treated her as a close subordinate, and she would not be alienated.

Although she is now the manager of New Century Software Company, Isabella never thought of using this platform to leave. She is very satisfied with working under Lin Baicheng.

Isabella is very clear that in this part of the United States, women are discriminated against in the workplace. Few women go to the management level of a company, especially the manager level with decision-making power, not to mention her age is younger than 30 years old.

Under the age of 30, and a woman, Isabella is very clear that if she goes to another company, then the management will basically miss her, and she will not even think about positions such as manager and president.

Under Lin Baicheng's subordinates, Isabella has achieved this, so unless she really can't stay under Lin Baicheng's subordinates, or has a better and higher platform, Isabella will not take the initiative to leave.

"Well, good work!"

Lin Baicheng, who hung up the phone, was a little surprised by what Isabella said today, and at the same time felt that it was necessary to reconsider the arrangement and positioning of Isabella.

However, Lin Baicheng didn't think about Isabella's matter right away, but proceeded to contact Haruko Mori who was also in Los Angeles.

The current time is around four in the afternoon in Los Angeles, which is around eight in the morning on the Xiangjiang side, so Haruko Mori is also at the company, but only at the Golden Fleece Company, and Lin Baicheng also contacted her very quickly.

"Chairman!"

It's working time now, not at the villa, otherwise Haruko Mori would call her 'Cheng-kun'.

Without being polite, Lin Baicheng asked directly: "Qingzi, is there any progress in what I asked you to do?"

Haruko Mori replied: "Chairman, I have arranged for Egger Dema to do the matter, but there is no progress yet."

Lin Baicheng said in a deep voice: "Let Aiger Dema focus all his energy on this matter, no need to make other investments, and let other employees follow up on the companies that have already invested. Do it."

"Yes, Chairman, I will explain to him."

Haruko Mori immediately responded, knowing that Lin Baicheng attached great importance to this matter, of course she was going to urge Egg Demar to get things done.

Iger Demar, the manager of Pioneer Technology Venture Capital Company, the things Lin Baicheng told him are of course related to investment.

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news."

After Lin Baicheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

After finishing the call with Lin Baicheng, Haruko Mori did not contact Aiger Dema immediately, but contacted Aiger Dema after returning.

"Manager Dema, how are you doing with the task assigned by the chairman that I told you about?"

"Vice President, I searched and found that there are many people who are currently making personal computers, but most of them are customized according to the private requirements of customers. They have not yet formed a scale, so they have not established a company."

"If I invest in such people, I am worried that the company's investment will be in vain in the end. Those people simply do not have the potential of a business founder."

What Lin Baicheng asked Iger Demar to do was to invest in a new personal computer company. Of course, there was a reason for this.

The computer operating system developed by New Century Software must be compatible with the computer, otherwise the software alone is useless, and the largest personal computer company in the market is Apple, but the problem is that Apple's computer has its own Operating system, it is impossible to use the operating system of New Century Software Company.

In this way, the New Century Software Company must find a company that can cooperate with it. What Lin Baicheng is doing now is to support a new computer company, at least not let the computer operating system developed by the New Century Software Company become a decoration.

Haruko Mori said aloud: "Well, what we want to invest in is a company that is likely to succeed, rather than spending money for nothing, but the chairman is very concerned about this matter, so you have to continue to search and make achievements. "

Iger Demar thought for a while and said: "Vice President, I thought about it, we can find industry elites who have relevant technical levels but have not made personal computers, and invest in them to start a business. What do you think? But in this way, we There may be more funds to be invested and shares to be sold at the beginning.”

After hearing this, Haruko Mori said, "You can try it in the direction you said. As for the specific investment amount and shareholding ratio, we will talk about it after you find a suitable candidate."

"Yes, I will find the right person."

Egg Demar agreed, and things would be much easier this way.

Haruko Mori, who finished talking with Aiger Dema, then contacted Lin Baicheng and reported to Lin Baicheng, and Lin Baicheng also agreed, and the details will be discussed after finding a suitable person.

When Lin Baicheng finished the call with Haruko Mori, he found that it was past eleven o'clock and it was lunch time.

Because of her sister Lin Shufang's relationship with Xiangjiang, Lin Baicheng still went home for dinner.

However, Lin Baicheng, who had just returned home, learned one thing from his sister Lin Shufang, that is, his parents were planning to return to Xiangjiang and asked Lin Baicheng to send a private plane to Los Angeles to pick him up.

Lin Baicheng was very puzzled after hearing this: "Why do parents want to come back suddenly? And they didn't tell me in advance?"

"It's our mother's temporary decision."

Lin Shufang said: "After you told your parents that you can go to the Mainland to see your relatives, Mom has been thinking about it, and you can't wait to see people right away. You arranged the time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is still more than a month. Mom, she thinks After thinking about it, I finally couldn’t help but want to see someone soon, so I decided to come back early.”

"Okay, since mom wants to go there earlier, I'll contact the two directors of Xinhua News Agency. I believe changing the time should not be a problem."

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng could understand it. After all, he was a relative he hadn't seen for decades. It was just that there was no hope before. Now that there is hope, he must not be able to endure the torment.

Lin Shufang said to Lin Baicheng: "Little brother, it's fine if you don't have time to go. I'll just accompany my parents."

"If there is time, there is still a squeeze."

Lin Baicheng smiled. Although he was very busy, he didn't have any problem finding time for a few days.

Lin Shufang couldn't help but said: "But I listened to what Mom said, this time I seem to want to live there for a while."

"Stay for a while?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help frowning slightly after hearing this: "Let's not talk about the official permission. The conditions over there are not very good now, and it's not suitable to stay there for too long. Sister, you can persuade Mom with me when the time comes. Let her not stay there for too long, at most she can go there a few more times in the future."

"Are the conditions over there very bad?"

Lin Shufang asked curiously.

"how to say?"

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said: "Now, it is definitely incomparable with our Xiangjiang, and we are going to an ordinary family, so the conditions will naturally be worse. This time, we will definitely suffer a little bit in the past. I hope you will be able to Bear with it."

"I should be fine."

Lin Shufang looked at Lin Baicheng and said, "Your brother, you are a rich man now, can you suffer?"

"You'll know then."

In fact, Lin Baicheng is really not sure about this. Although he was just an ordinary person before his rebirth, the living conditions after the 21st century are very good. He really doesn’t know the living conditions in China in this era, and he is not sure whether he can I can bear it.

However, there is one thing Lin Baicheng can be sure of, that is, he will definitely not have an attack when the time comes, and he will bring some supplies there, so he thinks it should be no problem to live there for a few days.

Lin Shufang said: "Little brother, I will leave it to you to arrange the pick-up of my parents."

"Well, I know, I'll arrange it later."

Lin Baicheng responded, and then went to call his parents in Los Angeles.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Baicheng went to Xinhua News Agency again, and discussed with the two directors Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan about the latest schedule for visiting relatives in the Mainland.

Regarding the time change, Wang and Li agreed without even thinking about it, and said that they will finalize the time with the domestic side soon, and will call Lin Baicheng in the evening to reassure Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng expressed his gratitude for this, and he has a lot to do next.After all, he had to go to the mainland for several days, and the most important thing was that it was inconvenient to contact him, so he had to make arrangements for some things.
