Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 578 Prelude, Levi's Choice (Two in One)

weekend.

Lin Baicheng, who was still in New York, was going to play with Haruko Mori on Saturday, but Jean Carter contacted him suddenly last night, saying that he wanted to invite him to dinner, because he took William Gates to meet him without authorization last time. Apologize.

Lin Baicheng couldn't refuse, otherwise it would appear that he had a problem with Jean Carter and kept this matter in his heart, so he took Haruko Moori along by the way, as his female companion.

Jean Carter held a barbecue party. After Lin Baicheng went, he found out that many important party members had come, but Vice President Reagan did not come.But this is also normal. The vice president doesn't have that much time and is very busy.

Especially the vice president who wants to run for the presidency will be even more busy, not only to please the voters, but also to build a good relationship with the capitalists.

The important members of the Xiang Party who came to the party tonight included New York state congressmen, celebrities in the legal and political circles, and even members of Congress. Some Lin Baicheng knew each other and had met several times, while some Lin Baicheng had never met before.

Although Lin Baicheng knows many high-level officials of the Xiang Party, he does not know some high-level officials of the Xiang Party.This is normal, after all, there are many high-level members of the Xiang Party, and he is not a big capitalist in the United States. It is normal that he does not know all the high-level members of the Xiang Party.

But after this time, Lin Baicheng became acquainted with these high-level officials who met for the first time, and became verbal friends.

The top executives of the Xiang Party have power, and Lin Baicheng is a big capitalist with money. Both of them are willing to get acquainted with each other, and the relationship will naturally be established quickly.

Of course, both Lin Baicheng and the other party knew that the relationship between each other was only a superficial friendship, and they were just using each other.

At the party, Jean Carter specially introduced a New York businessman and a real estate developer to Lin Baicheng, saying that this real estate developer is very powerful, and hoped that Lin Baicheng could cooperate more with this real estate developer for mutual benefit.

When it comes to real estate developers in New York, the first thing Lin Baicheng thinks of is that the future president is very unreliable. The other party is a real estate developer in New York. He thinks that no one understands President Wang better than him.

Lin Baicheng knew that the real estate developer introduced by Jean Carter was not the President who understood Wang decades later, because the names of the two were different. This person was called Doron Fernan, a real estate developer in his fifties .

No matter what he thinks in his heart, Lin Baicheng said on the surface that if there is cooperation, he will find Doron Fernan, which is a face for Jean Carter.

At around eight o'clock, Lin Baicheng took Haruko Mori to leave, and left in an extended Lincoln.

In the car, Lin Baicheng said to Haruko Mori who was sitting beside him: "Haruko, what do you think about the fact that Jean Carter introduced Doron Fernand, a real estate agent, to me?"

Haruko Mori said: "I think, either he received money from Doron Fernan, or he directly or indirectly held the shares of Doron Fernan Real Estate Company, so he introduced people to Cheng Jun You know each other, I hope you can cooperate with Mr. Fernan."

"As I thought."

Lin Baicheng nodded in agreement. He was not stupid, and he couldn't see Jean Carter's intentions.

Haruko Mori said: "Later, Makoto-kun, when you left, I chatted with Mr. Fernand, and he mentioned that his company has business in big cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, and focused on Los Angeles. I think it should be It has something to do with the fact that Galaxy Games is planning to build a branch building in Los Angeles."

"Since Los Angeles is specifically mentioned, that can only be the reason."

Lin Baicheng nodded. At present, his property in Los Angeles is related to real estate only that Galaxy Games is planning to build a branch building.Galaxy Game Company plans to build its own building, and builds the building according to the company's plan, and does not plan to buy the existing building.

Haruko Mori asked aloud, "Sheng-kun, what are you going to do?"

"Since it was introduced by Carter, let's give him a chance. When the time comes, let Fernan participate in the bidding, and then investigate Fernan's company. If there is no problem, follow the normal procedure."

Lin Baicheng said indifferently, as long as the other party's company has no problems and the bidding conditions are the best, then it's perfectly fine to hand over the project to Fernand, and it's just a way to sell the face of Jean Carter and other party officials.

"What about Mr. Smith's fiancée, Ms. Anna Nord?"

Haruko Mori has not forgotten the Nord family that Anna Nord belongs to. The key is that the relationship between Lin Baicheng and Phil Smith is not bad, and the two sides have cooperated a lot.

Lin Baicheng said: "The same thing is to give the Nord family a chance, and then we choose the company that is most beneficial to Xinghe Game Company, so that no one will be offended. Besides, I will give them a chance, without me Afraid of offending them."

Haruko Mori took it for granted, "It's natural. Even if you directly reject them, Cheng-kun, you don't have to worry about offending them. Cheng-kun, you have the capital."

"That's it."

Lin Baicheng quite agrees with this, he will not offend people for no reason, but this does not mean that he is afraid of offending people.Among other things, taking Jean Carter as an example, it is true that Lin Baicheng is unwilling to offend the other party, but this does not mean that he is afraid of Jean Carter. He can still afford to offend Jean Carter alone.

The next day was Sunday, and Lin Baicheng took Mouri Haruko to play.The two of them didn't go far, they just played in New York.

……

Hong Kong.

As Levi's of Hong Kong Electric Group, he manages the enterprise of Hong Kong Electric Group and has a high social status in Xiangjiang.With a market value of 70 billion Hong Kong dollars, Hong Kong Electric Group is already a properly large company in Hong Kong, and its market value is among the top ten listed companies in Hong Kong.

Although Hong Kong Electric Group is not an asset of Levi's, and even he has no shares in Hong Kong Electric Group so far, he is the leader of Hong Kong Electric Group and can use the resources of Hong Kong Electric Group. If you are strong, your social status will naturally be quite high.

He is actually the same as Wei Li of Hutchison Whampoa, except that Hutchison Whampoa has a higher market value, which is now as high as more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars, so Wei Li's social status is much higher than that of Levi's.

As Levi's, the boss of HK Electric Group, what makes him even more satisfied is that Lin Baicheng, the big boss, doesn't care about the specific affairs of HK Electric Group, so he has a lot of power in HK Electric Group, and he is not a puppet boss.

Levi's is an Englishman. His original name was Levi's, but he changed Li to Lee for convenience.

As a British Levi's, of course he has many British friends in Xiangjiang, and those who make friends with him are not ordinary people.

On Monday, Shen Congee, the head of HSBC, asked Levi to have afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, and of course Levi would not refuse.He knows Shen Congee, and the two have also dealt with each other. Although they are not very good friends, Hongkong Electric Group and HSBC have business contacts, and both of them are successful professional managers, so the two of them still have a little friendship of.

Although the time for drinking afternoon tea was in the afternoon, which was part of working time, it was no problem for Levi to find time to meet Shen Congee for afternoon tea.

However, to Levi's surprise, the waiter took him to the private room on the upper floor. This kind of place is more secretive, unlike the hall below where people around can see it.

"Chairman Swire! Chairman Kessack! Chairman Ma Bin! Mr. Kadoorie!"

To Levi's surprise, there were four other people in the private room besides Shen Congee, and none of them were ordinary people.

"Reeves, please sit here."

Shen Porridge greeted, and although Levi was a little puzzled at this moment, he knew that this meeting must not be easy.And it's all here, so I must go there, so that I can know what's going on.

Levi's directly asked his doubts: "Shen Congee, what's going on?"

Shiyadi Shihuaiya said aloud: "Master Reeves, the reason why we came here together is because we have something to ask for your help."

"Can I help you with something?"

Levi's was even more puzzled. He shook his head and said, "Don't be kidding me. Among you are HSBC, the largest bank in Xiangjiang, and the most powerful British family in Xiangjiang. They are powerful. What can I do for you? "

Henry Keswick said: "We are not joking, we do need your help, and you can help us with this matter."

John Ma Bin followed: "As long as you help us, we will definitely benefit from you."

"Shen Congee, you should tell me what's going on."

Levi's looked directly at Shen Porridge when he heard the words, he knew that the matter would never be simple, so it was impossible for him to agree directly.

Shen Congee shook his head, and said to Levis, "Reeves, this matter has nothing to do with us at HSBC. I was just entrusted by the four of them to act as a middleman to invite you out. You can discuss the specific matters."

HSBC wanted to hide, didn't want to be exposed, didn't want to be hostile to Lin Baicheng, and didn't want to lose business related to Lin Baicheng, so HSBC had already paid the price, so the four of them, Shi Yadi and Shi Huaiya, didn't expose Shen Porridge.

"Let's talk about it directly, there is no need to hide it."

Michael Kadoorie said in a deep voice: "Taipan Reeves, the four of us have jointly established a company in the name of this company to acquire the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group, and now we have acquired a lot of shares. major shareholder, so we need your help and hope you can stand by our side."

Up to now, the British capital has acquired more than 30% of the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group, and the shares held by other large and small shareholders have been acquired by them. The remaining shares are all traded in the stock market and in the hands of retail investors.

Next, if the British capital wants to acquire the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group, it will be difficult to acquire 10% of the shares by surprise. It is no problem to buy slowly, but it will also attract the attention of Hong Kong Electric Group.

Therefore, whether it is to gain the support of the management, or to conceal their purchase of shares in the Hong Kong Electric Group from the stock market, they all need the help of the management of the Hong Kong Electric Group. management.

"You want to fight for the control of HK Electric Group?!"

Levi's couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He didn't know that the ultimate goal of these four people was to control the HK Electric Group, and to snatch the control of the HK Electric Group from Lin Baicheng.

"Not bad!"

There is nothing to hide, as long as you are not stupid, you can guess it.

Shiyadi Shihuaiya said: "Levis Taipan, the Hong Kong Electric Group was originally under the control of our British capital, and then Lin Baicheng secretly acquired a large number of shares, which took the control away from our British capital. Now we just It's just about taking control back from Lin Baicheng, we are all British, you should help us."

Henry Caesark said solemnly: "With the strength of our family, as long as you help us, we will not treat you badly."

John Ma Bin said: "We will continue to appoint you as the head of HK Electric Group, so you have nothing to lose."

Michael Kadoorie added aloud: "In addition to you, we also need to communicate with other managements of Hong Kong Electric Group to get them to support us. With the strength of several of us, it is not a problem to win over a few people."

Levi's did not express his opinion immediately after hearing this, but thought silently.

Seeing this, the four of them, Shiyadi and Shihuaiya, stopped speaking. What should be said has already been said. Before Levi's makes a decision, it is meaningless to say more.

After a while, Levi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin is very kind to me, and I won't betray him."

Levi's has thought about it. Even if he helps Ying Capital to gain control of Hong Kong Electric Group, his salary is basically impossible to improve. Even if there is improvement, it will be limited. As for the management of Hong Kong Electric Group, the rights of his taipan will be greatly restricted and weakened at that time, which is far less powerful than what he has now.

British capital may be able to compensate him elsewhere, but unless British capital can give him huge benefits that he cannot refuse, Levi's is more willing to choose rights, and the rights to manage HK Electric Group are not comparable to some benefits.

"Master Reeves, think again. If we make a move together, if you can reject us, others may not. Therefore, the possibility of our victory is not small."

Shiyadi Shihuaiya reminded aloud that there were some things he didn't say, but everyone understood.If Levi's refuses to help now, then after they succeed, Levi's will definitely be liquidated, and then Levi's will wait to get out of HK Electric Group.

"Guys, I still mean the same thing. I will not betray Mr. Lin. If there is nothing else, then I will take my leave first."

Levi stood up as he spoke. He was not worried about what would happen to Lin Baicheng after he lost control of Hong Kong Electric Group. As long as he reported to Lin Baicheng, then Lin Baicheng would definitely value and trust him even more. Even if Hong Kong Electric Group lost him He can also work in other industries under Lin Baicheng's name.

Seeing that Levi's was about to leave, the four of Shiyadi and Shi Huaiya couldn't help looking at Shen Congee. They hoped that Shen Congee could speak out to help express HSBC's position. Unfortunately, Shen Congee didn't want to be openly hostile to Lin Baicheng now, so he said No post, let Levi's leave.
