Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 586 Unavoidable, Careless (Two in One)

Christmas is coming.

On Friday night, the Hong Kong government held a charity gala in the name of donating money and materials for orphans, widows, old and young.

For the charity gala this time, Lin Baicheng specially approached Mai Lihao and asked the Hong Kong government to hold the charity gala at the Hutchison Hotel.For this reason, Hutchison Hotel donated an additional HK$100 million in addition to not charging any fees for the gala.

The reason why the money was paid back was mainly to build the reputation of Hehuang Hotel and increase its influence.After all, it is a hotel that has just opened for a short time. At present, apart from the companies related to Lin Baicheng who will place parties and other places in the Hutchison Hotel, the hotel itself attracts very little business.

The Hong Kong government did not refuse. After all, this can save the Hong Kong government a lot of money, and it can also get millions of Hong Kong dollars in donations. If they do not agree, they will be attacked and have money exchanges with other hotels.

That night, Lin Baicheng would of course go to the Hutchison Hotel to participate in the charity party held by the Hong Kong government.

It can be said that, as long as there is no real lack of time for this kind of evening party held by the Hong Kong government, Hongkong Capital, regardless of whether it is British or Chinese, will personally participate.Even if I don't have time, I will send someone close to me.

It is one thing to save face for the Hong Kong government, but it is another reason not to be accused of being stingy and unwilling to do charity.

If a well-known businessman is invited but does not participate in this kind of charity gala, he will definitely be accused by the outside world of being uncaring, stingy and unwilling to do charity.If you have such a reputation, how will you do business in the future?
"Mr. Lin!" "Mr. Lin!" "Good evening, Mr. Lin!".
When Lin Baicheng walked into the hotel, many businessmen with little wealth greeted him respectfully.

"Hi, good evening!".
Although the assets of these people are all below the [-] million level, Lin Baicheng still responded to their greetings.

"Lin Jun!"

Lin Baicheng walked into the hall and didn't stop until he saw Mineryu Iwasaki.

"Iwasaki-kun."

Lin Baicheng was not surprised that Iwasaki Mineryu appeared here.Although Mineryu Iwasaki is Japanese, and the Hong Kong government is holding the charity party, but since Mitsubishi Bank wants to make money in Hong Kong, it must give the Hong Kong government face and open up relations with the upper class, similar to the charity party held by the Hong Kong government. The party, that must be attended.

"I'll find time to chat with you later, so I won't waste Jun Lin's time now."

Iwasaki Mineryu said that when Lin Baicheng just arrived, he must greet other people. It is impossible for him to chat with Lin Baicheng all the time and delay Lin Baicheng from greeting others.

"Okay, let's talk later."

Lin Baicheng nodded, and then walked to the side where the Chinese tycoons gathered.

Tonight's charity gala was held by the Hong Kong government, and both British and Chinese investors came. However, most of the British and Chinese investors gathered separately, and only a few companies with contacts would meet.

"Bao Sheng!" "He Sheng!" "Xu Sheng!".
Lin Baicheng greeted the Chinese tycoons, even a few tycoons who had only met a few times also said hello.

Lin Baicheng's cards are still very high, the richest man in Xiangjiang, with huge assets, no one will give him face, even if everyone is not very familiar with each other, they all greet each other politely.

Face is given to each other, no one who can become a tycoon will be a fool, and will not make enemies for no reason.

Bao Yugang said to Lin Baicheng: "Lin Sheng, Hong Kong Electric Group, you should have the chance to win now, right?"

"I don't think there should be any surprises."

Lin Baicheng nodded with a smile, and didn't hide it. Anyway, there is no need to hide this matter.

Hu Yinxiang said: "This time the British capital is really aggressive. Fortunately, Lin Sheng, you hold a very high shareholding in Hong Kong Electric Group, otherwise you might be attacked by the British capital." He also has a listed company under his name, but that is It is a small company, and his shareholding in that listed company is only 30%. If the British capital acquires more than 30% of the shares in a surprise attack, he may not be able to win the British capital.

Li Zhaoji also said: "No, if Lin Sheng's shareholding is only about 20% at the beginning, then the HK Electric Group will really change hands this time."

"Fortunately, Lin Sheng's shareholding is high enough. Although there were some changes in the middle, it should be fine now."

Grant and Fred from the Hong Kong Electric Group were taken away by the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau. Although they were released on bail that afternoon, everyone guessed that Lin Baicheng would drive the two of them out of the Hong Kong Electric Group logically. Then help his people, so that the British capital will have no chance.

"Sorry, I'm going to have a chat with Sir Mai."

Lin Baicheng apologized to the Chinese tycoons, and then walked towards Mai Lihao.

Although there are also a few Chinese tycoons on MacLehose's side, they are more British-funded, and the leaders are those old acquaintances of Lin Baicheng, Shen Congee, Shiyadi Swire, Henry Cassack and others.

Tonight is a charity gala held by the Hong Kong government, so everyone is very restrained. Shiyadi Shihuaiya and others did not confront Lin Baicheng because of his past, and they seemed very "gentlemanly".

Not long after Lin Baicheng and Mai Lihao chatted, Mai Lihao's assistant came over to remind him that the time was coming. Mai Lihao greeted Lin Baicheng and others, and then walked to the temporary stage.

The theme of the charity gala was still the same old one. McLehose made a speech first, and then everyone raised money for charity.

This isn't the only charity gala ahead of Christmas, it's just that it's the biggest.In the evening of the day after tomorrow, the Hong Kong government will also hold a charity bazaar. The Hong Kong government and some invited guests will put up some items for auction, and then the proceeds from the auction will be used for charity.

Lin Baicheng was also invited, and the Hong Kong government hopes that he can take out a commemorative item for auction, and does not require the value of this item to be high.

In similar auctions, the person who took out the item can take it back by himself, and just pay a price that suits his status.

As the richest man in Hong Kong, as long as it is a party related to "charity", Lin Baicheng will attend whenever he has time, and will send people to attend if he has no time.

There is no way, as the richest man in Hong Kong and young, if Lin Baicheng refuses a similar invitation, even just once, it will have a very bad negative impact on his reputation.The loss of reputation is greater than the loss caused by the donation of several million Hong Kong dollars.

When he had free time, Lin Baicheng first went to chat with the high-level Hong Kong government officials such as Mai Lihao for a while, and then went to the place where the Chinese tycoons gathered.

Although the Chinese tycoons get together, they form a small group in twos and threes with relatively good relationships, chatting about their own affairs, and occasionally some people leave to chat with others.

Although Huaren Capital is a group in name, Xiangjiang is so big and there are only so many industries that can make money. How can there be no competition among them.It is also now that British capital occupies many industries, so Chinese capital can gather together to compete with British capital.

When the British capital gradually withdraws from Xiangjiang, it is conceivable that the division of Chinese capital will only become more complete, and the competing Chinese businessmen will only become more hostile.

And these are inevitable, after all, everyone wants to earn more.

Lin Baicheng is now also forming a small group with Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, Guo Henian, Zheng Yudong, and Hu Yinxiang, and his relationship with other people is slightly worse than these five people.Like Li Zhaoji, Wang Dehui, Zhang Yuliang and others, Lin Baicheng's relationship with them is not bad, but not to a certain extent, he will not come to them for good things like joint ventures to make money.

After chatting with Bao Yugang and others for a while, Lin Baicheng and Bao Yugang went to find Iwasaki Minelong together.Because of the Sino-Ocean Import and Export Trading Company, Bao Yugang and Iwasaki Mineryu have a pretty good relationship, and they are still friends now.

Of course, the friendship between these two people only remained on the surface. They met because of Lin Baicheng, so they didn't have much time, let alone heart-to-heart exchanges, and even the intermediary of mutual interests had to go through Lin Baicheng.

"Lin Jun, do you have any opinion on the change of gold price these days?"

The three chatted for a few words, and Mineryu Iwasaki asked Lin Baicheng.He has made a lot of profits from investing in gold futures, earning hundreds of millions of dollars. This kind of huge profits makes people reluctant to let go. Now that the international gold price has changed, he suddenly thinks again.

This is actually the same principle as gambling. If you win, you still want to win. It is hard to give up after making quick money.

Lin Baicheng was not surprised when he heard this. He had told Mineryu Iwasaki that he would no longer trade gold futures, but Mineryu Iwasaki later went short on gold futures alone, which has already explained Mineryu Iwasaki's attitude and thoughts.

"I just told Baosheng and the others that everyone will come to my place for afternoon tea tomorrow afternoon. I have a cooperation proposal that I want to chat with everyone. I came here to talk about this with Iwasaki-kun." Lin Baicheng said.

"I will definitely go."

Iwasaki Mineryu of course agreed, and then said: "Mr. Lin, is it related to the international gold price?"

"It is related to the international gold price."

Lin Baicheng nodded, and continued: "We will talk about the details when we arrive at my side tomorrow."

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow."

Iwasaki Mineryu nodded. Although he guessed that Lin Baicheng should be doing gold futures, he didn't know whether he was going long or short.

Yes, it is true that the international gold price is rising sharply, but it is not impossible that there is a possibility of a sharp drop, otherwise everyone should go long on gold futures and everyone will make money.

But the market is unpredictable. It is true that the price of gold has risen sharply because of the good news, but no one is sure whether there will be a sudden reversal of bad news, from rising to falling.If this happens, the price will fall as hard as it rose in the front.

If you really encounter this situation and use leverage again, your position will be liquidated in minutes, and you will lose everything.

Bao Yugang asked aloud: "Lin Sheng, what is your plan for the profit of Sino-Ocean Trading Company this year?"

"There is still more than a week to end this year. After the specific profit is calculated, the two think that the company will take out [-] million Hong Kong dollars in dividends, and the rest will be temporarily placed in the company's account. How about using it as the company's expenditure and investment?"

Lin Baicheng talked about his plan. The ocean trading company does not need to expand aggressively. What the company needs to do now is to digest the existing market. up.

Sino-Ocean Trading Company, Lin Baicheng and other five people invested a total of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. Lin Baicheng invested 3 million Hong Kong dollars to hold 30% of the shares. If the dividend is 1 million Hong Kong dollars, he can only get 3000 million Hong Kong dollars, which is only one-tenth of the return.

"The company is not suitable for large-scale investment now, and it is better to use part of the funds to distribute dividends."

Iwasaki Mineryu nodded and did not object. As a shareholder, he would not struggle with the cash he could get.

Bao Yugang also said: "I have no objection either, but let's discuss this matter with the other two shareholders when the time comes."

"I will consult Smith and Rockefeller at that time."

Lin Baicheng nodded to show that he understood that although the three of them already held more than half of the shares, they should jointly do business together. This kind of matter must be discussed with Phil Smith and Logan Rockefeller, and respect their two shareholders. The cooperation can be intimate.

"The company's performance this year is good, and we hope to achieve another success next year."

Bao Yugang also arranged for him in the Sino-Ocean Trading Company, so he knew that the profit of the Sino-Ocean Trading Company this year could exceed 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and this is the profit of three quarters. In addition, the company must not have done well when it was first taken over. So next year's performance is worth looking forward to.

"Everyone works together, and I believe the company's performance will not be bad."

Iwasaki Mineryu introduced a lot of business to Ocean Trading Company through his relationship with Mitsubishi Bank, and there are Phil Smith and Logan Rockefeller in the United States, not to mention the local business in Xiangjiang , so ocean trading companies still have a lot to do.

"It's good for everyone to work together and make money together."

The cooperation of Ocean Trading Company can be said to be initiated by Lin Baicheng, so the better the company operates, the more everyone earns, which means the better his vision, the more everyone will admire him.

The confidence of his partners is also beneficial to Lin Baicheng. Before he failed, if he asked everyone to do business as a partner, everyone would trust him more; at the same time, if he needs help, everyone will help him as much as possible.

Lin Baicheng, Bao Yugang, and Iwasaki Mineryu chatted for a while, and then left to socialize.

As soon as Lin Baicheng left, Li Zhaoji found him.

Originally, Lin Baicheng thought that Li Zhaoji was just looking for him to chat, but Li Zhaoji apologized to him first, saying that Lin Baicheng and Bao Yugang said that they would go to him to discuss cooperation with him before Li Zhaoji accidentally overheard.

Li Zhaoji specially apologized to Lin Baicheng, and asked about cooperation, jokingly said that if there is cooperation, he must bring him to make a fortune together.

Lin Baicheng couldn't help wondering whether Li Zhaoji had eavesdropped on purpose after listening to it, but he would definitely not tell the truth to his face, just pretending that Li Zhaoji really heard it 'accidentally'.If we really talk about it, the two of them can't be friends.

Now that Li Zhaoji knew about this, Lin Baicheng agreed because Li Zhaoji wanted to enter their circle, and invited Li Zhaoji to have afternoon tea with him tomorrow afternoon.

Li Zhaoji was very happy, and it was not in vain for him to be thick-skinned. To be able to enter the small circle of Lin Baicheng, Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang and others, there were only advantages and no disadvantages for him.
