Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 631 Big Investment (Two in One)

The afternoon after my birthday.

Lin Baicheng invited Mineryu Iwasaki, Phil Smith, Claure Rockefeller, Wade Thomas, Yugang Bao, and Logan Rockefeller to the Hutchison Hotel for afternoon tea.

Phil Smith, Logan Rockefeller, and Bao Yugang came here simply to listen, and they didn't have anything to discuss with Lin Baicheng.

Although it is said to be for afternoon tea, everyone's taste is taken into account, so there are Longjing, black tea, and coffee, depending on everyone's preferences.

Drinking Longjing tea, Lin Baicheng said to Yan Qi Fenglong: "Come one by one, Yan Qi-kun, shall we talk about it first?"

"Okay."

Iwasaki Mineryu naturally would not object, and nodded: "I want to talk to you again about the investment in Sun Electronics Communications."

Lin Baicheng nodded and said, "Tell me what you think."

The others didn't interrupt at this time, drinking tea or coffee and listening carefully.

Iwasaki Mineryu said: "Mr. Lin, you invited me and Mr. Smith to set up this company together. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to invest 2500 million US dollars to acquire 5% of the company's shares. Now I want to change the investment amount."

"Iwasaki-kun, if you want to invest less, that's fine."

Lin Baicheng nodded in response, looked at other people and said: "The total investment of Sun Electronics Communications is 5 million US dollars, and it is currently negotiating with Bell Labs to acquire the research and development technology of mobile phones. What the company has to do is to overcome this technology and make mobile phones It can be commercialized. At present, it is not so easy to overcome the technology, and it may take several years, and the total investment of 5 million US dollars may not be enough, and there may be additional capital in the future.”

Unlike the founders of companies decades later, Lin Baicheng did not fool investors, but instead spoke out about his difficulties, mainly because he had money himself, not because he was in urgent need of investors' funds.

After hearing this, Mineryu Iwasaki said, "Mr. Lin, I don't want to vote less, but to vote more."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Lin Baicheng looked at Iwasaki Mineryu with some surprise. He thought that Iwasaki Mineryu disliked investing too much, but he didn't expect that the other party wanted to invest more. "Iwasaki-kun, what I just said is not a joke. Although I am very optimistic about the market prospects of mobile phones after commercial use, the technology acquisition has not yet been completed. If the existing technology cannot be acquired, then the company can only choose another target. In this way It will slow down development."

"What's more, even if the technology is acquired from Bell Labs, it is impossible to commercialize mobile phones in a short period of time. Commercialization will take at least several years, and investment is likely to increase in the middle, and the market after commercialization Whether the outlook is as high as I expected is an open question."

Lin Baicheng's words were not only for Iwasaki Mineryu, but also for other people.

"For no other reason, I believe in Jun Lin. Investment is actually an investor. I believe in Jun Lin's vision, so I want to make a bigger bet."

Iwasaki Mineryu looked sincere, and the main reason was that he lost a lot of money due to the failure of short selling by himself. After comparison, he found that he could still make money with Lin Baicheng, so he decided to invest with Lin Baicheng. .

Of course, there is mainly the excellent precedent of Bailong Commercial Association. Even if this company does not count the investment profits in gold futures, the company's operation in the real estate industry has increased the company's net assets, and its development is quite good. It can be seen that Lin Baicheng It is also quite powerful in the field of enterprise investment and operation.

"Since you said that, Iwasaki-kun, of course I have no reason to refuse. How much do you want to invest in total, Iwasaki-kun?"

Lin Baicheng agreed after pondering for a while. If Mineryu Iwasaki holds a higher share in Sun Electronics Communications, Mineryu Iwasaki and the Iwasaki family will definitely pay more attention when the company's mobile phones are sold in the Japanese market in the future, so as to make the company's mobile phones more stable. Successfully carry out sales and occupy the market.

"5000 million US dollars, 10% of the shares, Mr. Lin, what do you think?"

Iwasaki Mineryu doubled the amount of investment. If there was more, he would not be able to bear it.

"No problem, just do what you said, Iwasaki-kun."

Lin Baicheng responded with a smile, and said: "Before the acquisition negotiations between the company and Bell Labs are over, and before everyone's funds are injected into the company, Iwasaki-kun, you can change your mind at any time. However, after everyone's funds are injected into the company, I still hope Iwasaki-kun, don't regret it, think about withdrawing capital or something."

Today's Sun Electronics Communications Company actually doesn't have much money in the company's account. Only Lin Baicheng injected 1000 million US dollars to let the company run first. After the acquisition negotiations are finalized, all the funds will be injected into the company.

A negotiation takes several months. It would be too wasteful to inject funds into the company early. These funds can be used for other investments in these few months.

After hearing this, Iwasaki Mineryu said immediately: "Looking at what you said, Mr. Lin, I will definitely not regret withdrawing the capital. Even if I regret, it will only increase the investment funds."

Lin Baicheng looked at Phil Smith at this time: "Smith, you still invest 2500 million US dollars?"

Phil Smith nodded: "I have more funds to invest in other things, and I can't spend too much money."

"Enough is enough. Sun Electronics Communication actually has another investor, which is the capital from Europe. The other party invested 1 million US dollars to take up 20% of the shares."

The "European capital" mentioned by Lin Baicheng is actually an overseas offshore fund he established. The funds will be directly used to make profits from long gold futures, and there is no need to transfer them to Xiangjiang, which is safe and convenient.

In this way, after the establishment of Sun Electronics Communications Company, Lin Baicheng invested US$3.25 million on the surface and only accounted for 65% of the shares. He will raise funds when the company is short of money in the future, and then refinance when the company goes public. The shares are definitely less than half.

After the company was listed, Lin Baicheng looked for opportunities to reduce his shareholding. With the reduction of shares, Lin Baicheng's shareholding ratio will not attract attention because of too many shares, and the company's development will not be restricted because he is an absolute major shareholder.

High-tech products such as mobile phones must rely on the markets of the United States and Western countries. If he, a Chinese, holds more than half of the company's shares, he knows that the company will hit the ceiling after it develops to a certain level and will be attacked by all parties. .

If you want to make money on the opponent's territory, you must know current affairs, and Lin Baicheng has always been a hero who knows current affairs.

"The strength of European established capital is still very strong."

Claure Rockefeller did not ask Lin Baicheng which European capital it was, nor did he participate in the investment in Sun Electronics Communications, because the future of this enterprise is full of uncertainty.If the mobile phone is sure to be commercialized, then it is enough to find a way to participate in the investment. Although the company's valuation will definitely be higher at that time, the probability of successful investment will be higher at that time.

Unlike now, investing now involves gambling. If Claure Rockefeller really wanted to invest in the mobile phone market, he might as well invest in Motorola. After all, the earliest mobile phone was developed by Motorola, investing in Motorola seems more likely success.

Claure Rockefeller knew that Lin Baicheng was very powerful. After working hard for such a big net worth in just over two years, every investment was successful, and he was a proper winner in life. But he would not be superstitious about Lin Baicheng. He believed that Lin Baicheng would also have When it fails.

It is only because Lin Baicheng has not failed so far that it seems that Lin Baicheng is very powerful, but this does not mean that Lin Baicheng will not fail. Lin Baicheng's investment also has the possibility of failure.

Wade Thomas, Bao Yugang, and Logan Rockefeller also said nothing. Sun Electronics invested too much, but the risk was not small, and it would take several years to get the return. They felt that this investment was not suitable.

Lin Baicheng asked aloud: "Claure, what do you want to say about Changsheng Pharmaceutical Bio Company?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just come here to sign a contract with you, Alan, and decide on the investment."

Claure Rockefeller said that although 1000 million US dollars is not a small amount of money, the Rockefeller family is willing to spend this money to make friends with Lin Baicheng and to bet on the possibility of a future.

Although I don't think that Lin Baicheng can really develop a drug that prolongs human life, but it is somewhat hopeful, and with Lin Baicheng's more investment, the Rockefeller family doesn't mind spending a little money to take advantage of it.Anyway, as long as the financial supervision is done well, Lin Baicheng will not be afraid of hacking their family's money.

And as long as everyone's funds are definitely invested in the company's research and development, even if no life-extending drug is developed in the end, I believe there will be results, and the Rockefeller family will have limited losses even if they suffer losses.

Investing 1000 million US dollars to obtain 2% of the company's shares, even if the company loses 2 billion US dollars, the Rockefeller family's loss is only 98 million US dollars, but Lin Baicheng will lose as much as [-] billion US dollars, so there is nothing for the Rockefeller family to worry about.

Lin Baicheng nodded: "Tomorrow, I will have someone sign a contract with you, Claure. As for the time when the funds will arrive, how about within one month after signing the contract?"

"no problem."

Claure Rockefeller nodded in response. He knew that Lin Baicheng's several hundred million dollars of funds would take time to move around, and it was unlikely that he would spend as much as 4.9 million dollars all at once.

Of course, Lin Baicheng has as much as 4.9 million U.S. dollars in funds, not to mention that he has already invested 3.9 million U.S. dollars in Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company, and he only needs to spend another [-] million U.S. dollars in funds.It's just that, to transfer funds to Xiangjiang from those accounts that profit from long gold futures, it is best to transfer funds from several banks and pay a little handling fee to transfer funds to Xiangjiang safely.

Seeing that the two had a good talk, Bao Yugang asked aloud: "Lin Sheng, what does this Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company do?"

"As the name suggests, this is a company that studies how to extend human life. The research direction is biomedicine. The initial total investment is 5 million U.S. dollars, and Claure contributed 1000 million U.S. dollars to take up 2% of the shares."

"Actually, I also know that the possibility of success in research is very low, but I still want to try. I have money now, and I have plenty of time. If I'm lucky, I can live another five or sixty years. Then maybe there will be results. Even if it’s just to prolong my life by one or two years, that’s what I’ve earned.”

Lin Baicheng gave the general situation. He believes that no one here should choose to invest in this company.

"That's true."

Bao Yu just didn't know what to say after hearing it. He would definitely not choose to invest, because he felt that the funds he invested would only be wasted.As for persuasion, although the two are good friends, Lin Baicheng has already stated that he knows that the possibility of success is very small, but insists on investing. His persuasion is completely superfluous.

"If I had the current wealth at your age, Alan, maybe I would try it, as long as the investment would not be so large."

Wade Thomas said that Lin Baicheng's large investment shocked him, but he could understand it.At his current age, the older he gets, the more he hopes to live longer, but the investment will not be as big as Lin Baicheng.

"Thomas, tell me what you want to talk to me about."

Lin Baicheng smiled and changed the topic. There is no need to say too much about Changsheng Pharmaceutical Bio Company.

Wade Thomas said: "It's nothing else. Galaxy Games has been listed for almost four months now, and the sales restriction period will pass in two months. If you, Alan, want to reduce your stock holdings, we'd better It’s good to discuss it, everyone will reduce their holdings together and it will only make the stock price plummet.”

Lin Baicheng couldn't help saying: "There are still two months to go, so we need to discuss it so soon?"

"After all, negotiations will take time." Wade Thomas said.

"I won't reduce holdings for the time being. Your institution can arrange it yourself. As long as it is not too much, I will let the management cooperate with you."

The reason why Lin Baicheng changed his mind was because he earned more than 100 billion US dollars by being long gold futures. Now that he has so much cash in hand, there is no need to reduce the stocks of high-quality companies.

Or it should be said that the time can be longer, and it will not be too late to reduce the holdings after the market value of Xinghe Game Company is higher in a few years.

Wade Thomas asked suspiciously: "Allen, didn't you want to reduce your holdings before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"I'm a major shareholder. If I reduce my shareholding, it will definitely affect the stock price, so I think about it and forget it. There is no need to rush to reduce my shareholding. Anyway, the company's development is not bad." Lin Baicheng casually found someone Excuse.

"It would be great if the chairman of every listed company was like you, Alan."

Wade Thomas laments that Lin Baicheng's actions are beneficial to Wall Street institutions, which can smoothly reduce their holdings at a high level and pocket the profits.

"If I really want to reduce my holdings, I still prefer to conduct large transactions with private individuals or large institutions, so that even if I reduce my holdings, it will not affect the stock price."

Lin Baicheng said something, laying the groundwork for the future.If such holdings are reduced, Lin Baicheng can sell his shares to overseas offshore funds or enterprises. In this way, he can not only hide his shareholding ratio, but also use the profits from long gold futures for investment in the open.

Everyone here except Claure Rockefeller has shares in Galaxy Games Company. They all subscribed for the shares of Galaxy Games Company before the company went public. Now the investment has tripled, and it took less than four month, it can be said that everyone has made money.

After the three of them finished talking to Lin Baicheng, everyone turned to chatting about other things.

Although I didn't see any good investment opportunities today, Bao Yugang was not disappointed. It was also rewarding to come to drink tea and chat with these people.
