Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 567 Keep Distance, Strengthen Control

Although he failed to convince Mikhail Kogan, Lin Baicheng let Nimu Lisen keep in touch with Taidong.

It is true that Mikhail Kogan does not want to fully cooperate with Xingyue Electronics now, but it does not mean that Mikhail Kogan will not change his mind.

What's more, Taito is the leader in Japan's video game industry after all. Maybe Atari will come to cooperate with Taito at any time. If Xingyue Electronics keeps in touch with Taito, it may be able to know immediately Related Information.

Although Atari doesn't take Xingyue Electronics seriously now, the two companies will become competitors sooner or later, and Atari will never be wrong to be careful.

If Atari reaches a cooperation with Taidong, it will be even more powerful, and its strength will be enhanced, which will not be good for Xingyue Electronics.

Rimu Lisen expressed his understanding of Lin Baicheng's exhortation and would do a good job in related work.

In the evening, Akemi Iwasaki contacted Lin Baicheng and asked Lin Baicheng to have dinner together.

Lin Baicheng had no idea of ​​marrying the Iwasaki family, so he didn't take the initiative to contact Iwasaki Akemi after he came to Japan, but now that Iwasaki Akemi took the initiative to contact him, he naturally couldn't refuse.

Iwasaki Akemi can be said to be a direct descendant of the Iwasaki family. Of course, Lin Baicheng can't treat her like an ordinary girl, but as long as he keeps a distance from her when interacting with her, he believes that the other party can understand what he means.

Lin Baicheng would not be narcissistic to the extent that Iwasaki Akemi fell in love with him at first sight and had to marry him.

Lin Baicheng is still very self-aware. Once he shows his attitude, the other party will definitely not get entangled. It would be good if the two can maintain a friendly relationship.

Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Akemi were the only two in the private room of a Japanese restaurant.

Of course Lin Baicheng brought his bodyguards, but the bodyguards were guarding outside, so it was definitely not suitable for him to stay in the box.

The two chatted while eating, talking about their own things.

"Lin Jun, next year I will be in my third year of college, and then I will start social practice. I intend to start my own business, do you have any suggestions?"

"Do you want to start a business? It is indeed a good choice."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly. With Iwasaki Akemi's conditions, starting a business is nothing to her at all. Whether it succeeds or fails, it is a rare experience for her.

Of course, as long as you are a normal person, you all want your business to be successful, and no one wants the mother of success.

"Miss Mingmei, you want me to give you advice. To be honest, it's really embarrassing for me."

"Lin Jun, you have made such a big family business in just a few years. I admire your vision."

Iwasaki Akemi immediately said sincerely, although Lin Baicheng would not be what she said, but Lin Baicheng's suggestion can be used as her reference.

"Miss Mingmei, if you know my industry in Japan, you should know that I am more optimistic about the two industries of real estate and comics. I don't know about other industries."

"The policies and development directions of each country are different. I don't know much about Japan. Naturally, I can't give you more advice, Ms. Minmei."

Lin Baicheng doesn't want to say too much. In fact, with Akemi Iwasaki's resources, as long as the business is not in a sunset industry, the possibility of entrepreneurial failure is extremely small, and the certainty of success is quite high.

Of course, the possibility of success is very high, but this does not mean that Akemi Iwasaki can easily develop this start-up company.

No matter what industry it is, as long as it can make money, there must be a conflict of interest.If it really blocks other people's money or hurts other people's interests, even the face of the Iwasaki family will be useless, and they will definitely fight her.

"I don't care about the real estate industry, it's not suitable for me, but the comics industry can be considered."

Iwasaki Akemi shook her head slightly after hearing this. She still has a strong understanding of herself, knowing that the real estate industry is not suitable for her when she just started her business.

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said, "Actually, with your situation, Ms. Mingmei, you can start a business in a new industry."

"Is it an emerging industry?"

Akemi Iwasaki nodded slightly. Emerging industries are good. There are no vested interests of established brands, and at the same time, they can have more knowledge of new industries.

However, there are good and bad. Since it is an emerging industry, the future prospects are not clear. No one can guarantee that the track they enter will have a bright future.

If we really want to say it, the game console industry is also an emerging industry. People are still not sure whether the game console industry is just a flash in the pan or has a lot to offer.

No longer talking about her own business, Akemi Iwasaki smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, I heard from my cousin that you don't trade gold futures now? He is very regretful."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "Well, I'm a little uncertain about the trend of the international gold price now, so I dare not enter the market blindly, and I'm going to take a look before we talk."

"There are too few people like Lin Jun who can stop after making a profit. Although many people can also make a lot of money in investment, few people can stop in time. In the end, they lose as much as they earn, and even lose their principal. I lost everything, so I really admire Lin Jun."

Iwasaki Akemi said with admiration that people who are used to making quick money are often hard to bear, and almost all successful people can do it.

Lin Baicheng smiled and shook his head: "I'm not as good as you said, Miss Mingmei. If I'm sure, I'll still invest. Maybe I'll lose money. It's just that I don't have a chance at the moment."

"If you are sure, who doesn't want to make more money."

Iwasaki Akemi thought it was normal.

The dinner time passed slowly in the chat between Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Akemi.

After the meal, Akemi Iwasaki invited Lin Baicheng to go shopping in Ginza, but Lin Baicheng declined.

This is the attitude Lin Baicheng wants to express, not to be too close to Iwasaki Akemi, lest he really catches eyes.

Iwasaki Akemi is a beautiful woman after all, but Lin Baicheng can't guarantee whether he will fall in love with her after getting along for a long time.

It would be fine if Akemi Iwasaki was just a girl from an ordinary family. Even if Lin Baicheng had some super-friendly things with her, it would be fine if he didn't marry her in the end, and it would be easier to settle it.

But Iwasaki Akemi is the prostitute daughter of the Iwasaki family. If Lin Baicheng really took advantage and refused to admit it, he would offend the Iwasaki family, which would inevitably have a great negative impact on his business in Japan.

Therefore, since you are not planning to marry Iwasaki Akemi, then don't think about taking advantage of Iwasaki Akemi. It is better for the two parties to keep a distance.

Lin Baicheng declined, but Iwasaki Akemi would naturally not insist, and she also wanted to save face, so the two went back separately.

Lin Baicheng didn't go to Momoe Yamaguchi, but went to Seiko Matsuda's. He wanted to come here to accompany her tonight, so that he could enjoy both the rain and the dew.

"Cheng Jun, how many days are you going to stay here this time?"

Seiko Matsuda asked Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng said: "I won't stay for long, I'm going back to Xiangjiang tomorrow."

"Go back so soon? Can't you stay for a few more days?"

Seiko Matsuda pouted, she hoped that Lin Baicheng could stay for a few more days, so that she and Lin Baicheng could spend more time together.

"No way, I still have a lot of work to do in Xiangjiang."

Lin Baicheng comforted: "The distance between Xiangjiang and Tokyo is not too far, I will come to see you when I have time. If you are free, Son, you can go to Xiangjiang to see me like last time, I am very welcome You went."

"Okay, then Mr. Cheng, you should come here often."

Seiko Matsuda knew that there was no way to force Lin Baicheng, so he didn't make trouble for no reason.

"I try my best."

Lin Baicheng nodded in response.

The next day, because he knew that Lin Baicheng was going back to Xiangjiang today, Seiko Matsuda stopped his studies and set aside time to accompany Lin Baicheng.

In the afternoon of that day, Lin Baicheng flew back to Xiangjiang by private plane.

When the plane landed at Xiangjiang Airport, Lin Baicheng thought of one thing, that is, he could buy the airline.

With the opening up of the mainland, Hong Kong's economy is getting better and better, and airlines are definitely profitable business.

Another thing is that airlines belong to transportation, and controlling the airlines can increase Lin Baicheng's influence.

For Xiangjiang's current airline, Lin Baicheng can be said to have no understanding at all, neither he before rebirth nor his predecessor knew about airlines.

However, one thing Lin Baicheng can be sure of is that if there is no accident, the airline should be under the control of British capital, which may be a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson, Swire Group or Wheelock.

In other words, if you want to acquire an airline, you have to deal with British capital, and it is not so easy to acquire it.

However, the acquisition of the airline company was Lin Baicheng's temporary idea. He is not going to acquire the related company immediately, and it will be fine in a few years.

Therefore, when he went to work on Monday the next day, Lin Baicheng just asked Qin Lan to investigate the situation of the airline company.

On Monday, the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa rose nearly 4 points as soon as the market opened, and the stock price was close to the price of 90 Hong Kong dollars.

The reason why the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa suddenly soared has nothing to do with Hutchison Whampoa itself, and the company did not release any good news.

The reason for the sharp rise is that the land auction held by the Hong Kong government set a higher auction price during the weekend.

To put it simply, land prices have risen, and the stock prices of all listed companies related to real estate have risen.

Real estate has always been an important pillar industry of Hutchison Whampoa. Even the retail industry has a little relationship with real estate. The supermarket itself is real estate.

Because of this, even with Hutchison Whampoa's current market value of more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars, the stock price has benefited from this and has risen by more than 4 points.

Hutchison Whampoa's stock price has risen, and there are still many benefits.

Not to mention anything else, currently HSBC is responsible for the issue of additional shares. The higher the current stock price of Hutchison Whampoa, the higher the benefits people will get from subscribing for shares at HK$75. So those who are tempted to subscribe for shares will naturally There will be more.

It is now mid-November, and it looks like we will enter 1980 in just over a month.

Lin Baicheng guessed that the good days of the Xiangjiang real estate industry will last only one or two years at most.

Negotiations between China and the United Kingdom on the ownership of Xiangjiang will start in one or two years at most. Lin Baicheng can't remember the exact date of Thatcher's visit to China, but he remembers that it was 1982.

Before Thatcher's visit to China, there will definitely be relevant news on the market, and the Hong Kong real estate industry will definitely be avalanche because of the negotiations between the two countries.

Therefore, in 1981, the Hong Kong real estate industry might be affected, and in 1982, it would definitely collapse.

Before that, Lin Baicheng has to do two things well, that is, to reduce the holding of Hutchison Whampoa shares in his hand, and to sell the real estate held by Hutchison Whampoa in time.

Then wait for the avalanche of the real estate industry before buying bottoms.

Lin Baicheng bought the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, and Hutchison Whampoa bought the real estate.

In the morning, Lin Baicheng went to work at Hutchison Whampoa.

Wei Li went to Lin Baicheng's office to report on his work. After working after the report, he asked one thing.

Hutchison Whampoa's real estate industry is going to expand to Japan, so a leader is needed. Wei Li asked Lin Baicheng who would be more appropriate to send.

"I attach great importance to the company's expansion in Japan, so I want to send a vice president to take charge of the work. What do you think, Wei Li?"

Lin Baicheng asked Wei Li for his opinion.

"Mr. Lin, would it be overkill to send a vice president?"

After hearing this, Wei Li couldn't help hesitating: "The company has to start from scratch in Japan. It feels like sending a vice president there. I think it's enough to send a department manager."

"Sending the vice president in the past is a bit wronged him, but sending the vice president in the past can let the people below know that I value it. The vice president who is sent in the past, I will give compensation in terms of treatment, increase the salary, and increase the stock incentive by one level. "

This time is a good opportunity to transfer one of Wei Peter and Xia Boyin out of the headquarters, and then promote the Chinese executives who have joined him to strengthen his control over Hutchison Whampoa.

For a long time, Lin Baicheng has never touched the executives at the vice president level. Cheng Yufeng was able to take the position because the person he replaced committed suicide and resigned. So feel the crisis.

The arrogant and tough transfer of the management team will definitely put everyone in danger, which will affect the company's management, so Lin Baicheng has not made any big moves.

When Asia Star Media Group was established, Lin Baicheng actually wanted to transfer one of Wei Peter and Xia Boyin, but unfortunately they were unwilling, so Lin Baicheng couldn't force it.

This time was different, Lin Baicheng had a valid reason, and Wei Peter and Xia Boyin couldn't refuse, unless they didn't want to stay in Hutchison Whampoa any longer.

And if they resign voluntarily, then Lin Baicheng's goal can be achieved, and he has no loss.

"If there is compensation, I don't think those sent there will have any objections."

Wei Li noticed Lin Baicheng's tough attitude on this matter, of course he would not be tough, so he agreed.

Lin Baicheng asked, "Wei Li, do you think it's better to send Peter Wei or Xia Boyin?"

"With the abilities of the two of them, I can send whoever I want to go there. It mainly depends on your thoughts, Mr. Lin, and their own wishes."

Wei Li didn't want to offend anyone, so he didn't give a specific candidate.

"Then I'll ask them what they think."

Lin Baicheng didn't force Wei Li either, he was going to ask Wei Peter and Xia Boyin for their opinions.

It would be best for the two of them to take the initiative to go. If neither of them wanted to go, then he could only forcefully share the money.
