Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 597 Father and Son Conversation (Two in One)

The time in New York is about 3 hours faster than that in Los Angeles, and there is a time difference between the two places.

Therefore, Claure Rockefeller, who had left Phil Smith's party and returned home after eleven o'clock, did not immediately contact his father in New York, but did not contact New York until the next morning.

Lawrence Rockefeller, as Claude Rockefeller's father, he inherited his grandfather's talent for making money.More than forty years ago, he inherited the New York Stock Exchange bought by his grandfather, embarked on the road of entrepreneurship from Wall Street, and pioneered venture capital in the United States.

Today, Lawrence Rockefeller already has a net worth of billions of dollars in the name of Lawrence Rockefeller, but only a billion dollars is revealed on the surface.

This is only the assets owned by Lawrence Rockefeller. His father has five sons and one daughter, and the six siblings have their own children and grandchildren. It can be seen how big the members of the entire Rockefeller family are, and how much assets will be added up.

After the father and son chatted for a while, Claure Rockefeller said, "Father, I met Lin Baicheng at Phil Smith's party yesterday."

"Well, what do you think of this man?"

Lawrence Rockefeller knew that his son Claure was going to see Lin Baicheng, and he even asked Claure to meet Lin Baicheng.

"Not an ordinary person! There is no complacency and self-satisfaction that most young people have after their success, and they are very measured."

Claure Rockefeller first commented on Lin Baicheng, and then said in detail: "Yesterday he invited us to cooperate, saying that he was going to form a TV network, and that he knew that as a foreigner, it was impossible for him to control the top TV network in the United States. , so he wanted to cooperate with our capital, which shows that he didn't think he could do anything just because he made a lot of money."

"Whether he thought of this himself or his subordinates reminded him, if he can understand this, it shows that he is sober enough. This young man is indeed not simple."

Lawrence Rockefeller was a little surprised when he heard it, but more of his admiration for Lin Baicheng.

"We can cooperate with him in the investment of establishing a TV network. As he said, he cannot control a large-scale TV network, but our Rockefeller family is different. When the time is right, we can take over this TV network and expand it. family influence."

Lawrence Rockefeller immediately said that he could use Lin Baicheng's funds to set up a TV network and finally get control of the TV network. How could such a good thing be missed.

"I also think it is possible to cooperate, but Lin Baicheng should not give up too many shares at the beginning. It is more likely that he will continue to reduce the diluted shares in the later stage of mergers and acquisitions of TV networks. When mergers and acquisitions expand, he can not only reduce His shareholding ratio can also take advantage of the trend without spending a penny."

Claure said his opinion, he didn't think Lin Baicheng was a fool who sacrificed himself for others.

"If you don't care about the controlling stake in a company, mergers and acquisitions are the best way to develop, and he will definitely do that. Even if he doesn't think of it, those under him will remind him."

Lawrence agreed with this, let alone whether Lin Baicheng is a smart person or not, those professional managers under Lin Baicheng cannot be all fools, there will always be someone who will give Lin Baicheng the best advice.

"Let's not talk about the TV network, let's talk about other things."

Claure responded: "In order to get closer to Lin Baicheng, I told Lin Baicheng that I wanted to invest in Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company according to what my father said. I thought that Lin Baicheng would be happy to accept it. There are so many, but I don’t want Lin Baicheng to refuse, which surprises me.”

"He actually refused?"

Lawrence was also very surprised when he heard it. In his plan, he would close his relationship with Lin Baicheng by investing in companies under Lin Baicheng's name. Among the many companies under Lin Baicheng's name, he certainly knew that Changsheng Medicine had the least prospect, but He still asked Claure to invest in this company in order to win Lin Baicheng's favor by sending money to Lin Baicheng.

Lawrence originally thought that investing in Changsheng Medicine was a sure thing, and no one would refuse the money sent to them, but Lin Baicheng refused.

Claure nodded: "He refused. Even though I expressed my willingness to help Changsheng Pharmaceutical recruit outstanding talents and provide assistance for future drug experiments, Lin Baicheng still expressed that he would consider it, and did not immediately agree to let me become a shareholder."

"It doesn't make sense."

Lawrence was a little puzzled when he heard this: "I even made up my mind to invest some money in the Changsheng Pharmaceutical company at the beginning. Through this investment, you and Lin Baicheng will get closer and gradually become friends. After a few days After [-] years, reduce investment in Changsheng Medicine, or even no longer invest, in order to avoid investing too much in this company that is basically impossible to succeed."

Claure guessed: "Father, do you think Lin Baicheng is confident, so he doesn't want to give up the shares?"

"impossible!"

Lawrence immediately retorted: "What do you think this is researching? How could Lin Baicheng be sure about the research on extending human life? With the current level of technology, it is impossible to do this at all, let alone decades, one to two hundred years It’s a fluke to get results.”

Claure: "I also know this truth, but since this is the case, Lin Baicheng has no reason to refuse us to invest."

"No matter what he thinks, you can find an opportunity to try later to see if you can participate in the investment, take out 3000 to [-] million US dollars to try, even if there is no gain in the end, our family can still bear this loss started."

Lawrence decided not to think too much about it, and just threw money at it. Anyway, his family could afford a loss of tens of millions of dollars, and they could use it to fight for a chance.In case, in case the company Changsheng Medicine really has something to do, then this investment will be greatly rewarded in the future.

Not only the economic return, but also the research results. The Rockefeller family can know and use it at the first time. Such a return is even more important.

Claure responded: "Yes, I will mention this matter to him again when I meet him next time."

"Especially these days, walk around more with Lin Baicheng and Phil Smith."

Lawrence reminded him aloud, saying: "Lin Baicheng's luck is really good this time, Hongsu suddenly invaded Afghanistan, otherwise the more than 20 billion US dollars in gold futures operated by Hutchison Whampoa under his name will be forced to sell short, Wall Street Already communicating that they want to eat his funds."

Hutchison Whampoa under the name of Lin Baicheng has made a lot of money by doing long gold futures many times, so it will naturally be targeted by Wall Street. Therefore, the current $25 billion long order has been targeted by Wall Street. It starts to fall and eats all long orders.

Many Wall Street institutions joined forces, of course, not to eat up Lin Baicheng's order. All long positions are the targets of Wall Street institutions, but the $25 billion order that Golden Fleece Company is operating is the most delicious piece of fat.

It is not unfounded for Wall Street institutions to short sell the price of gold. Since the low of 76 US dollars per ounce in 100, the price of gold has risen to around 400 US dollars per ounce a while ago, which has nearly quadrupled. The increase is quite amazing. Downward adjustment trend.

Wall Street institutions have teamed up to open short positions continuously. A large amount of funds will push the price of gold down, and then form a downward adjustment trend, so as to achieve the purpose of eating up the bulls.

However, before the Wall Street institutions could complete the distribution of benefits, Hongsu suddenly invaded Afghanistan, and the war broke out. The price of gold was stimulated by risk aversion and led to a surge. .

What's more, after this kind of thing happened, Wall Street institutions couldn't unite at all, because Wall Street institutions couldn't work together, someone would definitely enter the market to do more, and doing more is the general trend, so the alliance fell through, and each went its own way.

Lawrence Rockefeller himself is a member of Wall Street, and he is also at the top of the hunting food chain. He is one of the Wall Street institutions that want to unite. Therefore, he is fully aware of this matter and has also launched an investigation on Lin Baicheng.

This time, the combination of Wall Street institutions failed, the price of gold soared, and Hutchison Whampoa's investment made a lot of money again. Lawrence remembered Lin Baicheng deeply.

Regardless of the reason, the investment led by Lin Baicheng made a profit again. Lawrence wanted to know in advance what investment Lin Baicheng would make next time. After investigation, he found that someone in the Rockefeller family had a good relationship with Lin Baicheng. The relationship let his son get acquainted with Lin Baicheng.

Once the son becomes friends with Lin Baicheng and can inquire about Lin Baicheng's future investment direction, it will be a good thing for the Rockefeller family whether Lawrence follows in the investment or reverse harvests Lin Baicheng.

These are the real reasons why Lawrence sent his son Claure to get acquainted with Lin Baicheng, otherwise it would be impossible for Claure to suddenly make friends with Lin Baicheng, a capitalist from Xiangjiang, for no reason.

Claure said: "I try my best to inquire suddenly. I will discuss with them when it is a good time to sell, but I am worried that he will not tell me his intention. .”

"It's best if you can find out, but if you can't find out, it's fine."

Lawrence didn't force it: "Anyway, the more than 20 billion long orders operated by Golden Fleece Company have been discovered by us big institutions. Once his people start to sell, we will be able to find out as soon as possible."

"With the current increase in the price of gold, Lin Baicheng's investment has already made a lot of money, and it is basically impossible to lose money. Therefore, whether he knows it or not does not have much impact. It is more important to have a good relationship with him and be friends. You have to make good money. the degree of it."

"I know what to do, Father."

Claure expressed his understanding aloud, knowing that he had to look at the longer term.

Lawrence warned a few more words: "You should not be in a hurry to make friends. If you are in a hurry, you will easily make mistakes. You can handle the details yourself."

"I understand, Father!"

The two father and son had another conversation before ending the call.

Today is Monday. On this morning, not only the Rockefellers and his sons were talking about Lin Baicheng, but some people were also talking about Lin Baicheng.

Atari Corporation, after a few days of preliminary investigation, Atari Corporation already knew which company's product the Xingyue mainframe sold in Starlight Corporation was.

Atari found Xingyue Electronic Game Company, found Lin Baicheng, and learned about some industries under Lin Baicheng's name.In fact, the employees of Atari did not investigate these in person, but paid for the investigation company to investigate, and the investigation company is more professional.

Although Atari did not hold a special board meeting for the Xingyue mainframe, it also held a high-level meeting.

"According to the survey, the Xingyue mainframe was launched on May 5 last year in China, Japan and Hong Kong at the same time. At that time, the price of a mainframe was 12 US dollars, which was 179 US dollars cheaper than our Atari VCS. .”

"One month later, the price of the Xingyue host was raised to US$189, and the price was increased to US$199 before Christmas. Because the games on the Xingyue host are very popular with children, the sales of the host are very good. There is no decrease in sales due to price increases.”

"Because the research company only investigates the sales data of the Xingyue console in its own country, according to the survey statistics, as of the end of last year, the sales volume of the Xingyue console was roughly around 40 units, and the sales in the days before and after Christmas alone exceeded 10 units."

"According to the judgment of the marketing department, the price of the Xingyue console not only did not make Xingyue Electronic Game Company make any money, but actually lost a lot of money. However, Xingyue Electronics Company made a lot of profits from the sales of cassettes and made a lot of money. profit."

"At present, the sales volume of our company's mainframe is much higher than that of the Xingyue mainframe, but the sales volume of the Xingyue mainframe last year exceeded 40 units, and this year's sales are likely to exceed this figure. What's more, this is only the Xingyue mainframe in The sales volume in the country, the sales volume of Xingyue mainframe in Japan is not low, and there are other markets in overseas countries, the sales volume of this product has already invaded the market that should belong to Atari VCS."

"According to the investigation, the Xingyue console is a product produced by Xingyue Electronic Game Company. The company is located in Xiangjiang, the Far East. The technology of the Xingyue console is not much better than Atari VCS, but the company's many games are very prosperous. Especially the game "Mario Brothers", according to the survey, is very popular among players."

"As for Xingyue Electronic Game Company, it originally belonged to a department of Galaxy Games Company. Galaxy Games Company is also a company in Hong Kong. It makes arcade games and is currently listed on Nasdaq. In order to go public at that time, the boss of Galaxy Games Company Spin off the mainframe department and establish the current Xingyue Electronic Game Company."

"That is to say, the two companies belong to the same boss, and his boss is named Lin Baicheng, a big capitalist in Xiangjiang with very strong capital. According to the investigation, he also controls a company with a market value of more than [-] billion U.S. dollars in Xiangjiang. , who owns nearly half of the shares."

"and also."

The information about Lin Baicheng and Xingyue Electronic Game Company was introduced, so that the management of Atari Company had a clearer understanding of the background of Xingyue console, so that they would not be ignorant.
