Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 644 Galaxy Financial Building (Two in One)

When Monto Jackson and the others left, Wei Li checked the time. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was around eleven o'clock in the evening at Xiangjiang.

After thinking about it, Wei Li still didn't contact Xiangjiang right away, but waited until twelve o'clock in the evening to contact Xiangjiang, and called Lin Baicheng's home directly.

And this time was the morning of the next day. Lin Baicheng came back to spend the night last night, and he also got up early in the morning to run, so when the maid came to tell him that it was Wei Li from London who called, he immediately stopped exercising and went back to the villa. go.

Wei Li's call was made to the lobby, and Lin Baicheng went to pick up the receiver.

"Wei Li, contact me so late, but have something urgent to report?"

Lin Baicheng knew that it was early in the morning in London. If Wei Li waited until the morning in London to contact him, the time in Xiangjiang would be in the evening, but Wei Li didn't wait until the morning to contact him, but he contacted him at this time, so the matter was more important.

"Mr. Lin, today the prime minister's office is in charge of negotiating with Mr. Monto Jackson. Mr. Jackson can be said to be the highest-level leader in the prime minister's office. He is a close friend of the prime minister. Today, Mr. Jackson and I discussed most of the terms. Agreed."

Then, Wei Li roughly talked about the details of the negotiation with Monto Jackson.

"In principle, I have no opinion on the issue of debt, but it is best not to accept too much debt for the acquired company. Wei Li, do you think it is appropriate for us to accept no more than the maximum debt?"

Regarding other terms, Lin Baicheng has no objections, which are within his bottom line.

Wei Li said what he had thought up a long time ago: "Including Bentley Motors, the debt must not exceed 5000 million pounds, and as a condition, in addition to policy support such as tax cuts and exemptions for a certain number of years, we also need the Prime Minister's Office Help communicate with the bank to reduce the loan interest.”

"The interest on the loan should be lower, otherwise we might as well repay the loan. But if we repay the loan, it means that we are using the cash to repay the debt to buy future tax exemptions and other taxes. Your team must calculate it well. The policy brings The income must exceed the amount of debt we assume, otherwise we will lose too much."

While Lin Baicheng agreed, he sounded a reminder that Hutchison Whampoa should not suffer anyway.

Wei Li responded immediately: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will ask the accountant to calculate a value that our company will not suffer. If it is not possible, we will not agree to assume the debt. I don't think the Prime Minister's Office will insist on it." company’s debts.”

"Well, you can figure it out, anyway, just don't let He Huang suffer."

Lin Baicheng has no objection. Anyway, he has one condition, that is, not to let Hutchison Whampoa suffer.After all, Hutchison Whampoa has already suffered a lot from this acquisition. It needs to take over several loss-making enterprises, so it cannot suffer everywhere.

Wei Li said: "Mr. Lin, besides this point, Mr. Jackson also said a condition that we must agree to. This condition is a bit embarrassing."

"What do you think."

Lin Baicheng knew that this should be the reason why Wei Li called him late at night.

Wei Li said: "Mr. Jackson said that regardless of the current Bentley Motors manufacturing plant or the new factory we will build in the future, the factory must be located in England, and the factory cannot be moved away. We must agree to this condition."

"There are such conditions? Can't we talk about it?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help frowning after hearing this. He knows very well how big the domestic market will be in the future. No matter what business he does, he can't give up the domestic market. Although the domestic market is almost non-existent now, he has to think about the future.

With the factory located in England, it is true that Bentley Motors can still enter the domestic market, but the cost of the factory in China is definitely different from that in England.Not only the manufacturing cost of the car, but also the transportation cost, and the transportation time is also a cost.

Furthermore, even if it is simply to facilitate the domestic sales of Bentley cars, a factory should be built in China, so that domestic officials will give greater support.

Wei Li replied: "Mr. Jackson said this is the bottom line, but I also said that Mr. Lin, you will never agree, so Mr. Jackson said that he would go back and report. This matter needs to be discussed."

"Well done, Wei Li."

Lin Baicheng heard that he was very satisfied with Wei Li's response, and he didn't blame Wei Li for stepping into his place, because he would definitely not agree to such a condition.

"This is what I should do. The conditions offered by Mr. Jackson are too outrageous. If only Bentley's current manufacturing plant cannot be relocated, then I think I can accept it, but the future factories will all be built in England, which is too much."

Wei Li said what he really thought in his heart, even if he didn't consider the attitude of the big boss Lin Baicheng, as the head class of Hutchison Whampoa, he would oppose this unfavorable condition based on the consideration of Hutchison Whampoa.

Lin Baicheng said, "Wei Li, tell me what you think."

"Boss Lin, then I will talk about my humble opinion."

Wayne responded, and said: "I personally think that if the Prime Minister's Office insists on the company agreeing to the condition that the factory must be built in England, then we will give up the acquisition of Bentley Motors and look for other investment opportunities."

"If the Prime Minister's Office is willing to make concessions, the company can accept Bentley's decision not to relocate the current manufacturing plant. However, in order to prevent this condition from becoming a shackle for Bentley, the company needs to set some conditions. For example, if the tax rate in England is too high , or the government’s exclusion and suppression, or a large number of workers making unreasonable disturbances, etc., if these situations occur, the company can move the factory out unconditionally.”

"Of course, the conditions at the Prime Minister's Office must be more than that, so our new factory can also accept investment in England, and accept the condition of not relocating the factory under certain conditions."

"If that's the case, then there's no problem on my side."

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng immediately made a statement, and then said: "Wei Li, you can continue talking with the Prime Minister's Office like this. If the other party has other conditions, you can contact me again. But as you said, if the Prime Minister's Office must If you agree to the condition that all factories will be built in England, forget it and give up the acquisition of Bentley Motors."

If possible, of course Lin Baicheng would like to acquire Bentley Motors, but the premise is that the future development prospects of Bentley Motors cannot be restricted, otherwise it is better to acquire other car brand technologies.

Even if the conditions in Yinglun are the same, as long as Lin Baicheng has money, he is not afraid that he will not be able to acquire satisfactory car brands and technologies.

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Wei Li agreed.

Lin Baicheng said: "Well, if you have nothing else to do, come here, and you should go to bed earlier."

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

"good night!"

Lin Baicheng said and hung up the phone.

At this moment, it is already Tuesday morning on March 3th in Xiangjiang.

After breakfast in the morning, Lin Baicheng went to Galaxy Bank.

Galaxy Financial Group takes Galaxy Bank as its core, and the location of Galaxy Bank is the headquarters of the group, but now the headquarters of Galaxy Bank is no longer in the original small bank.

Just last month, Lin Baicheng injected 10 billion Hong Kong dollars into the Galaxy Financial Group. The group bought the Federal Building from Hutchison Whampoa for 6.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and named the Federal Building Galaxy Financial Building as the headquarters of the Galaxy Financial Group.

Galaxy Bank, Yum Securities, and Galaxy Insurance under the name of Galaxy Financial Group have all moved to the headquarters, and among these three companies, Galaxy Bank occupies the most office space.

The purchase price of the Federal Building by Galaxy Financial Group did not make Hutchison Whampoa suffer. However, in the current upward real estate market, Hutchison Whampoa did not ask a high price, but only a market price. This price is beneficial to both parties. It is said that there is no advantage or disadvantage.

In many cases, the market price is the market price, and the transaction price is the transaction price.

Speaking of which, when Hutchison Whampoa acquired the Federal Building from Wheelock, it bought the Federal Building and the International Building for 8.85 million Hong Kong dollars. Now the selling price of the Federal Building alone is 6.8 million Hong Kong dollars, which is similar to the price of the International Building. It must not be lower than this price, which shows that Hutchison Whampoa's investment has made a lot of money.

At the beginning, Lin Baicheng asked Hutchison Whampoa to acquire a property building with a loan of more than 26 billion Hong Kong dollars as an investment. Now this investment can make at least 50% of the profit, which is more than one billion Hong Kong dollars.Moreover, given the current rising real estate market, if they sell for a while, the profit will only be higher.

When he came to Galaxy Financial Group, Lin Baicheng went to his exclusive chairman's office.

Not long after, Xiang Ping, the head of Galaxy Bank, came to see Lin Baicheng.Xiang Ping is still only the top class of Galaxy Bank, and Lin Baicheng has not appointed a candidate for the president and vice president of Galaxy Financial Group.

Lin Baicheng will not appoint others to the position of president in a short period of time, but the vice president will make a formal appointment, but Galaxy Bank was acquired at the end of last year, and it only started operating last year. He didn't want to appoint one of them as group vice president too soon.

It can be said that Lin Baicheng, the vice president candidate of the group, is still under investigation. Not only Xiang Ping, but others also have the opportunity.

Xiang Ping took the initiative to come here, not because he had something important to report to Lin Baicheng, but because Lin Baicheng, the big boss, didn't come here often, and it was rare that he would come here to see him. This is the rule of survival in the workplace.

"How is Manager Huo's work performance?"

After chatting for a few words, Lin Baicheng asked aloud.The Manager Huo he was talking about was naturally Huo Yaohua. Under his invitation, Huo Yaohua still joined Galaxy Financial Group and became the manager of Galaxy Bank, responsible for the bank's expansion in the European market.

When Lin Baicheng invited Huo Yaohua back then, he was worried that Huo Yaohua would refuse. After all, he did not ask Huo Yaohua to be the top class in the bank. Huo Yaohua was previously the big class of Standard Chartered in Xiangjiang. It also means demotion.

However, regardless of the reason for Huo Yaohua to join Galaxy Bank, Lin Baicheng is very happy. After all, Huo Yaohua was able to serve as the head class of Standard Chartered in Xiangjiang before, and his ability is absolutely beyond doubt. Galaxy Bank is very short of such senior talents.

"Manager Huo has already integrated into the bank. As for his ability, it depends on his future performance."

Xiang Ping replied that he was very wary of Huo Yaohua. After all, Huo Yaohua was the top class of Standard Chartered before and knew his boss, so Huo Yaohua might take his place. If he didn't take care of Huo Yaohua, he would be too stupid.

"He is in charge of the bank's expansion in the European market, and the headquarters must provide support."

Lin Baicheng reminded aloud that workplace struggles are unavoidable, but the premise is that it does not affect the development of the company.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, we will give full support."

Xiang Ping immediately assured that he would never do such an obvious death-seeking act of dragging his legs.

Lin Baicheng then chatted with Xiang Ping for a while, and then asked Xiang Ping to go and ask the secretary to call Yuan Tianfan over.

After a while, Yuan Tianfan came to Lin Baicheng's office.

"Tianfan, sit down."

Lin Baicheng motioned Yuan Tianfan to sit down opposite, and said to him, "The oil price has almost reached the point of 30 dollars per barrel now, and the long orders I asked you to operate can be prepared and slowly shipped."

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

Yuan Tianfan nodded to express his understanding.

Lin Baicheng: "You must personally lead the team for this sale, so let Anyuan handle the stock sale of Hutchison Whampoa. As for how to do it, remember to discuss with Anyuan." There is no oil futures platform in Xiangjiang, so Yuan Tianfan is asked to lead the team to leave Xiangjiang.

"I'll explain it."

"You will arrange the operation team. Remember to arrange trustworthy employees. I will also arrange people to supervise and make sure that the information is not leaked."

Lin Baicheng directly said that he would send someone to monitor it. After all, it was a $20 billion oil futures long order, with no less than 100% profit. How could he let Yuan Tianfan and others control such a large amount of money easily.

However, Lin Baicheng's older sister, Lin Shufang, is getting married, so she will not follow her this time, and will only send trusted financial personnel from other companies to follow her.

At the same time, Lin Baicheng will also send bodyguards to follow, and he still trusts the bodyguards around him.These bodyguards are all well-known, and their family members are all in Xiangjiang. It is very unlikely that they will run away and ignore their family members.

The team this time can actually be divided into three small groups. Yuan Tianfan’s operation team is a small group, the financial staff is a small group, and the bodyguards are a small group. The three parties supervise each other. Unless they unite, there is no need to worry about the funds being swallowed. This kind of thing happens.

Lin Baicheng believes that the possibility of a tripartite alliance is unlikely. If such a thing happens, he can only be considered unlucky. After all, he already has trusted cronies watching over him. The time for himself and his family is limited, and it is impossible for him to do it every time. Go out in person or let family members supervise.

Yuan Tianfan was not surprised that Lin Baicheng would send someone to supervise this matter, after all, it was such a large sum of money.If there is no one to supervise him, he himself will be worried, worried that there will be problems within the team.

Although Yuan Tianfan is the boss of the team, he is only the boss of their work, and people's hearts are unpredictable. He can't guarantee whether the subordinates can keep calm when faced with so much money.
