Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 651 Selected Training Base (Two in One)

The Lin family, in the study.

In the study room, apart from Lin Baicheng and Qin Lan, there were some bodyguards who were close to Lin Baicheng.

Brian Owen and others came back to Xiangjiang today and told Lin Baicheng the good news. The base they found for Raytheon Security Company has already negotiated terms with the lender, and now they are waiting for Lin Baicheng, the big boss, to make the final decision.

Before the negotiation, Lin Baicheng, the big boss, naturally knew which country he was going to negotiate with, and he had also set out the conditions. The progress of the negotiation was also being followed up, but he just learned the result of the last negotiation.

Malaya is the country where Guo Henian and the Guo family are located. It is located in Southeast Asia. This country has a population of more than 2000 million, of which Malays and Chinese account for 90% of the total population, and Chinese account for 20% of the total population. It can be said The Chinese have considerable influence in Malaya.

The Chinese have been in Malaya for hundreds of years, and the situation is different from that of the Chinese in West Indonesia. There is no large-scale anti-Chinese incident in Malaya. The Chinese have a pivotal position in Malaya. Otherwise, Chinese like Guo Henian The family will not become a business tycoon.

Malaya was also a British colony before, but it became independent in the late 50s. Since then, there have been no large-scale political changes in Malaya. The domestic environment can be said to be quite stable, and it has ambitions for economic development.

Otherwise, Malaya would not have become one of the four Asian tigers in the 90s.

When Lin Baicheng's people approached the Malayan government, because the idea of ​​leasing the island was accompanied by an investment plan, the Malayan government did not immediately reject it, but negotiated with Lin Baicheng's people.

As the negotiations progressed, Malaya reported to a higher level, and then negotiated again.

Back and forth, it took several months.

This is also impossible. After all, the island leased by Lin Baicheng is not used as a place for tourism and leisure, but as a training base for mercenaries. At that time, there will be a large number of mercenaries on the island. These mercenaries still have weapons. There will be fears in any country, so it needs to be carefully considered.

The result of this negotiation came out.

The main reason is the conditions offered by Malaya. Only when Lin Baicheng agrees to the conditions offered by Malaya, will Malaya lease an uninhabited island to Lin Baicheng.

The conditions for Malaya are that the number of mercenaries located on the island shall not exceed 500, and the commercial investment in Malaya within three years shall not be less than [-] million U.S. dollars, and the investment cannot be withdrawn from Malaya within ten years. The materials and workers needed must be purchased and recruited in Malaya, and daily consumption such as food and drink for mercenaries must also be carried out in Malaya. When Malaya is invaded, it is obligatory to assist Malaya in resisting foreign enemies. Legal management in Asia, etc.

In addition to the relatively less important conditions, there are some.

This is the condition this time, and the condition last time was even more unfavorable to Lin Baicheng's side. This time, Malaya has already made some concessions.

As for Lin Baicheng's conditions, there are some, but not many.For example, the lease period of the island is 99 years. People in the base are not allowed to enter the base without violating the laws of Malaya. Commercial investment must be exempted from tax for three years. Malaya is not invaded by foreign enemies without formally declaring war, etc. wait.

The conditions offered by Lin Baicheng's side were to protect Lin Baicheng's interests as much as possible, but they were in a relatively disadvantaged position. After all, Lin Baicheng asked Malaya to lease an island, and it was Lin Baicheng who needed an island as a base.

To put it simply, this is a seller's market, and Lin Baicheng, a buyer, can only agree to the conditions offered by the seller that do not exceed the bottom line.

"Sign a contract with Malaya."

After thinking for a while, Lin Baicheng made a decision, and agreed to the conditions of Malaya one by one.

It is really difficult to find a training base. There are limited countries in Southeast Asia, and even fewer countries are willing to lease islands as training bases for mercenaries. Although the conditions in Malaya are a bit harsh, Lin Baicheng still wants to protect Raytheon. Decided to accept.

In fact, it’s okay without a training base. After all, Lin Baicheng can recruit veteran elites from various countries as employees of the security company, but if there is a training base, this force will be stronger.

The reason why Lin Baicheng established Raytheon Security Company was mainly due to his persecution paranoia. He always felt that someone was coveting his wealth, and he felt a bit unreliable without armed protection.

However, in fact, no matter which big country is coveting the wealth in his hands, Lei Shen Baoquan can't stop it, and it doesn't make much sense.

However, the establishment of Raytheon Security must also be meaningful. After Xiangjiang decided to return, the British government began to act badly, and the security of Xiangjiang will deteriorate. With a trustworthy bodyguard by his side, at least he can protect himself and the people he cares about. .

The fact that Lin Baicheng doesn't have to worry about being kidnapped for himself or those around him is already very important.

Brian Owen responded: "Boss, since you agreed, we will sign the contract as soon as possible."

Nodding his head, Lin Baicheng said to Qin Lan: "After the contract is signed, you can second a few people from Hutchison's real estate company, give priority to building the dock and base, and recruit workers from Malaya according to the contract. Anyway, the local salary level in Malaya is not high.”

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Qin Lan nodded slightly, and said: "I'm afraid that the construction of the dock base will cost 1000 million US dollars. The main reason is that there is a certain distance between the island and the local area of ​​Malaya, and the transportation of workers and materials is inconvenient. In addition, there is nothing on the island at the beginning. The cost will of course be higher.”

"The rental cost of the island is 2000 million U.S. dollars, but the public relations fees outside the contract cost almost 300 million U.S. dollars, and another 200 million U.S. dollars will be used in the follow-up. That is to say, in terms of the rental cost of the island, a total of 2500 U.S. dollars was spent. Ten thousand U.S. dollars."

"In addition, there will be a huge expenditure on weapons, bullets and other ordnance. The daily consumption of employees is not a small expense, and the monthly salary is not low. It can be said that you will invest a large amount of money in Raytheon's body. money, and there is little return on that investment.”

"I know all of these things."

Lin Baicheng understands what Qin Lan said, and he is also mentally prepared to lose a sum of money on Thor Insurance every year, so he thinks it is spending money to buy peace of mind, and he can afford the money anyway.

"Speaking of weapons."

Lin Baicheng turned to look at Euricasandra Maluk: "Maliuk, you said that you will be responsible for the weapons and other equipment, have you contacted me yet?"

Maluk nodded and said, "We have already contacted you. As long as you have money, you can buy all kinds of weapons, even warships and fighter jets."

"Even a warship?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised: "However, we don't need warships and fighter jets for the time being, or even weapons with too much firepower. We have to worry about the attitude of Malaya. If there is such a strong firepower from the beginning , I am worried that Malaya will go back on its word."

"What weapons and other equipment are needed, you can decide for yourself. After listing them, let Maluk purchase them, and finally Yaoxian and Owen will check and accept them together."

Lin Baicheng said to the three of them, in this way, the three of them can supervise each other, so that they don't have to worry about wasting money on military expenditures, even if the three of them take kickbacks together, it is within the acceptable range.

When the water is deep, there are no fish. Lin Baicheng has no way to ask all his subordinates to be as clear as water. It is human nature to seek profit for oneself. As long as the loss is within a certain range, then turn a blind eye and close one eye, otherwise no one will do things for him .

"Okay, sir!" "Yes, BOSS!"

Chen Yaoxian, Brian Owen and Eurekasandra Maluk responded at the same time.

After looking at all the bodyguards present, Lin Baicheng said: "I have a lot of trust in you, and now Raytheon security can be said to be on the right track, so I will arrange some of you to go to the base to serve as the leadership, and the rest will be Stay by my side. I want to hear your own thoughts on who will go to the base and who will stay by my side."

"This matter is not urgent. There is plenty of time. I will give you half a month to think about it. Those who want to go to the base can go to the base, and those who want to stay by my side as bodyguards can stay by my side. You are all mine. My confidant, give me an answer in half a month."

At the base, Lin Baicheng must arrange for a few people who have been with him for a while to be supervisors and other management, and the one who stays with him is the captain of the bodyguard. No matter which choice he chooses, he will be his confidant.

Although in truth, Chen Yaoxian and others have not been with Lin Baicheng for a long time. After all, Lin Baicheng has only made a fortune for more than two years, but no matter what, he is much closer and more trustworthy than the people who just recruited.

Chen Yaoxian was the first to speak out: "Sir, we will seriously consider it."

Others followed.

Nodding his head, Lin Baicheng turned to Qin Lan and said, "In our contract with Malaya, there is a commercial investment requirement of [-] million U.S. dollars in three years. You can send someone to Malaya to investigate and investigate the country's economy. situation, which industries are more worthy of investment, and then give me a survey report."

Since we want to invest, of course we want to maximize the benefits and hope that the investment can get the greatest return. It just so happens that Malaya will become one of the four Asian tigers in ten years, so there is no need to worry about the country's economic development.

Just knowing this news, Lin Baicheng has a bolder investment plan, which is not only to invest [-] million US dollars, but to increase the amount of investment. It is believed that this investment will bring him huge returns in ten years.

Lin Baicheng is also clear that the real estate industry will definitely go up with the economic development of any country, and investment in the real estate industry will definitely not lose money.

It's just that the risk of investing all your funds in one industry is too great, and it's best to diversify your investments and share the risks.

Qin Lan replied: "I will send someone to Malaya to investigate, and let someone sort out the investigation report as soon as possible."

"If necessary, you can contact Guo Sheng and ask Guo Sheng to help. Guo Sheng has very strong energy in Malaya."

Lin Baicheng said that it is actually easier to get closer to people by helping each other. Guo Henian is not weak, and his position is close to the domestic side, so there is no harm in being close to Guo Henian.

"I got it."

Qin Lan nodded to express her understanding.

Looking at the crowd, Lin Baicheng said: "I will go to the United States the day after tomorrow. I will stay for a while this time. I will leave the affairs of Malaya to you for the time being. If there is any situation, you can contact Qin Lan. Qin Lan will contact me of."

"Yes, BOSS!"

"If there's nothing else to do, let's do this first, it's too late now."

Lin Baicheng looked at his watch and said to Maliuk, "Maliuk, arrange for someone to send Qin Lan back."

"No need, Mr. Lin."

"Safety is the most important thing. I don't worry about you going back alone as a girl."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand, signaling Qin Lan not to say much.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for your concern."

Seeing this, Qin Lan thanked him aloud, but did not insist.

The next day, Lin Baicheng dealt with some matters on Xiangjiang's side, because he will leave Xiangjiang for the United States tomorrow and will stay in the United States for a while, so he must first deal with some matters on Xiangjiang's side, and make corresponding arrangements at the same time .

That night, Lin Baicheng received a call from Wei Li from London, and learned that he had negotiated with the Prime Minister's Office, and Lin Baicheng agreed to the last condition.After Lin Baicheng acquires Bentley Motors, Bentley Motors can establish a joint venture car company with Huaguo and build a factory in Huaguo, but the cars produced by the factory can only be sold within Asia within ten years.

At this point, Hutchison Whampoa and the Prime Minister's Office have reached an agreement, and the next thing to do is to acquire Bentley Motors.

Wei Li and the others cannot leave London yet, and they still need to negotiate with Rolls-Royce to acquire Bentley Motors, and this acquisition also needs to communicate with the Bentley family, after all, the Bentley family still has a preferential share repurchase clause.

For this acquisition, the Prime Minister's Office did not recommend a cooperative bank, so Lin Baicheng asked Wei Li to seek cooperation with banks in various countries in England, and chose to cooperate with HSBC under the same conditions.

Anyway, the money will be earned by the banks in England, whether you choose HSBC or not is the same.And choosing HSBC is not without advantages. At least Hutchison Whampoa and HSBC still have a deep cooperation with HSBC. The company does not have to worry about HSBC cheating Hutchison Whampoa. It is hard to say if it is replaced by other banks.

In addition, Lin Baicheng also asked Wei Li to fax him a copy of the information on the non-performing assets that Hutchison Whampoa must take over. He wanted to see which companies were better to choose to acquire.

Although it is unlikely, Lin Baicheng still wants to look for a company with good technology, but because of poor management, the company cannot operate. If such a company is acquired, the possibility of rejuvenation after reorganization is relatively high. big.

Another thing is to see which companies can complement the companies under Lin Baicheng's current name. Such companies are also more likely to develop.

Although it is a burden, but if possible, Lin Baicheng still wants to develop the company, after all, no one will have trouble with money.

The next morning, Lin Baicheng flew to Los Angeles with the faxed corporate information.After he arrives in the United States, he can take a look at these corporate materials slowly. Anyway, there is no rush. Now that Hutchison Whampoa has not even acquired Bentley Motors, how can it be possible to acquire those companies with non-performing assets.
