Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 692 Manufacturing, progress (two in one)

Today's gathering is a gathering among small circles, there are not many people here, and it is not a formal dinner, and eating is more casual.

Everyone chatted and occasionally ate something.

Most of the time, everyone is talking about the local economy of Xiangjiang, among which real estate is definitely a topic that must be mentioned.

A month ago, the Kwun Tong-Central subway line was opened to traffic. Naturally, the land price near the subway station has increased a lot. The companies that have acquired land near the corresponding subway station for development have naturally made a lot of money.

Hutchison Real Estate under the name of Hutchison Whampoa also took a piece of land to develop into a shopping mall. Before the subway station began to be laid in 78, Hutchison Whampoa had already won a piece of land in advance. Hutchison Whampoa.

After Lin Baicheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa, Hutchison Whampoa has much more money than before, and naturally has the money to develop. Now with the opening of the subway, the development of the shopping mall has almost been completed, and it can be put into operation to make money in the future.

In fact, other real estate companies are not much different. Some got the news in advance before the announcement of the subway line plan, and then bought real estate in the relevant location to wait for development; some obtained the land through the relationship after the line was announced; The land near the subway station is auctioned, and then the land is auctioned for development.

No matter what the situation is, as long as it is a real estate developed near a subway station, it can make a lot of money without accident.

It's just that Hutchison Whampoa gets the news in advance, and then buys land at a cheap price for development, relatively speaking, it just makes more money.

Hutchison Whampoa used to be one of the four major foreign firms. Although it was down and out, it survived. Some contacts in the Hong Kong government were normal.

Now, with Lin Baicheng's contacts in the Hong Kong government and the scale of Hutchison Whampoa, through public relations, he can still know in advance where the Hong Kong government will carry out construction and development, and then stockpile the land in advance, and then develop it to make a fortune.

Not only Hutchison Whampoa, but other real estate companies are actually similar, and they will find ways to carry out public relations.It's just that some companies can do it, and some companies can't.

"Lin Sheng, after Hutchison Whampoa acquired Bentley Motors, shouldn't all the auto parts be produced by itself?"

Chatting and chatting, it came to the topic of Hutchison Whampoa's acquisition of Bentley Motors.

Lin Baicheng said: "The core spare parts will be produced by ourselves, and other parts must be purchased from outside."

"Lin Sheng, do you think it would make sense for me to start an auto parts manufacturing company?"

It was Zheng Yudong who asked the question aloud, his net worth was in the lower row among the crowd, and of course he wanted to open up more properties for the family.

"Auto parts also require technology. If it is to acquire an existing company, that is another matter. But if it is established from scratch, Bentley Motors will never purchase it at the beginning. The parts used by Bentley Motors are either the best or the best. It is the most cost-effective."

"What's more, the manufacturing industry must be willing to invest, and the technology must be updated, otherwise it will only be overtaken, so the investment will be relatively large. It depends on whether you have the determination and perseverance to invest heavily."

"Of course, under the same conditions, I will definitely take care of my friends."

Lin Baicheng would definitely not use the other company's products just because everyone has a good relationship. That would be making fun of his own company, which is not what a qualified businessman should do.

"At the beginning of entering a new industry, the investment and risk will not be small, but if the accessories company can develop and enter the supply chain of Bentley Motors, then the profits will be huge."

Bao Yugang said aloud that he could see very clearly that if Bentley Motors can develop and the accessories company relies on Bentley Motors to survive, it is likely to develop into an enterprise with a market value of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in ten years or so.

Don't look at it as if hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars are not much, and it is still hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars more than ten years later. In fact, in today's Hong Kong, there are at most twenty families with family wealth exceeding nine figures. This is the accumulation of generations , Not everyone is Lin Baicheng.

As for cash, in the current Hong Kong, the number of Chinese families who can withdraw hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in cash at one time is absolutely no more than two palms, or even one hand.

Cash is cash, wealth is wealth, the two are not the same concept.

"It seems that there is no hope."

Zheng Yudong looked a little regretful.

Bao Yugang said: "Whether there is hope or not depends on whether Zheng Sheng dares to take a gamble. If you dare to take a gamble, you can follow Lin Sheng to invest in London, acquire an auto parts manufacturing company, and carry out technological upgrades. Then let Bentley Motors purchase the company's accessories, so that the company can slowly develop."

"There are definitely risks in this, and the investment will not be small, but if it can be done, the rewards will also be great."

Bao Yugang himself has no idea, his main business is shipping and transformed real estate, these two industries are enough for him to be busy.

"It seems that this kind of investment is not suitable for me."

Zheng Yutong shook his head to kill the thoughts in his mind. Investment is big and risky. Instead of investing in this, he might as well invest in real estate. At least from the current point of view, the prospect of the real estate industry is brighter.

"Manufacturing, and advanced high-tech manufacturing, not everyone can enter."

Huo Yingdong said something, and then said to Lin Baicheng: "Lin Sheng, don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. Hutchison Whampoa has no experience in the automobile industry before. Even if it acquires Bentley Motors, it's hard to say whether it can develop Bentley Motors. You Just be cautious."

"Huo Sheng is not pouring cold water here, it is a reminder of good words, I will remember it."

Lin Baicheng nodded with a smile, knowing Huo Yingdong's intentions were good, otherwise if people wanted to see his jokes, they wouldn't remind him with unpleasant words.

Faithful words are harsh to the ears, which is almost what it means.

Time passed slowly while everyone was chatting, and at about nine o'clock, everyone ended the party and left separately.

Huo Yingdong learned about Lin Baicheng's attitude after facing the blockade of Bay Island from Lin Baicheng tonight, so he can reply to Xinhua News Agency.As for what to do if Lin Baicheng is lying, there is no other way. At present, he cannot judge whether Lin Baicheng is lying, but he thinks that the possibility of Lin Baicheng lying is very low and can basically be ruled out.

After Lin Baicheng and Guan Zhilin left Huo's house, they went to Guan Zhilin's villa, where they stayed that night.

For Guan Zhilin who is about to leave Xiangjiang and will not be able to see Lin Baicheng for a long time, he can't wait to be with Lin Baicheng, and he will never give up the opportunity to spend the night with Lin Baicheng every night.

Guan Meiren was very active, and Lin Baicheng enjoyed it very much.

The next morning, Lin Baicheng woke up relatively late, the little goblin was too annoying, and he worked too hard last night, so he slept a little longer.

Even though he got up late, Lin Baicheng still exercised, and then he asked Chen Huixiang what was the matter when he was having breakfast.

Chen Huixiang said: "Mr. Lin, in the morning, Miss Catherine from the United States called and said that she wanted to report to you about the progress of entrusting Citigroup to acquire Bell Labs' mobile phone and communication technology."

"Did she tell you the details?"

Lin Baicheng was slightly surprised when he heard the words, could it be possible that there has been progress so quickly?

"some."

Chen Huixiang nodded and said: "Miss Catherine said that Citigroup asked her to ask you whether the Sun Electronics Communications Company you established lacks a president. A vice president of the Telephone and Telegraph Group is very optimistic about the future development prospects of mobile communications. If you If there is a shortage of people, Citi can help you recruit this person to the company, so that your company can not only have a person in charge who is familiar with the industry, but also Citi can more smoothly acquire the technology you need from Bell Labs."

"How capable is this person?"

Sun Electronics Communications Company is short of a president, and Lin Baicheng actually knows that since the other party is qualified to be the vice president of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, it means that this person is very capable, but he still has to ask.

"Miss Catherine has already faxed this person's resume."

While speaking, Chen Huixiang handed Lin Baicheng a document, which was the resume faxed from the United States.

"Let me see."

Lin Baicheng took it and looked at it, he looked very seriously.

After the small meeting, Lin Baicheng said: "This Jason is now the vice president of the Telephone and Telegraph Group. The Telephone and Telegraph Group is one of the ten largest companies in the United States. There is only reason for people to climb higher. He has no reason to want to It is right to join Sun Electronics Communications Company."

Although Sun Electronics Communications' investment is not small, it depends on who it is compared with. Compared with the Telephone and Telegraph Group, it is completely the difference between a baby and a giant. Let alone the vice president of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, even if it is a lower level The department manager's social influence is also greater than that of the president of Sun Electronics Communications.

Even if this guy named Jason is not happy in the Telephone and Telegraph Group, or fails in the office struggle, he can still change jobs to other stronger telecommunications companies instead of joining Sun Electronics Communications.

Chen Huixiang said: "Miss Catherine didn't ask so specificly. She said that if possible, Citi would like to communicate with you personally."

"I know about this."

Lin Baicheng nodded and continued to look at the resume: "I will think about it. You can contact Catherine and tell her that I will give an answer before next Monday."

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Chen Huixiang responded when she heard the words.

Lin Baicheng looked at his resume while eating breakfast.

Seeing this, Chen Huixiang stood aside to avoid disturbing Lin Baicheng.

After breakfast, Lin Baicheng glanced at Jason's resume. This person's resume is very rich. At the beginning, he was just an electrician. Later, he studied while working, and slowly climbed up, working hard in the telecommunications industry. For more than 30 years, he has climbed to the current high position of vice president of the Telephone and Telegraph Group, and he is a successful person.

From his resume, it can be seen that Jason is very capable and is very familiar with the telecommunications industry. He is definitely a qualified professional manager.

After reading the resume, Lin Baicheng decided to ask someone to investigate again. If it is confirmed that there is no problem with the resume, he very much welcomes someone with such strong ability to serve as the president of Sun Electronics Communications Company.

But the question is whether the other party is willing to join Sun Electronics Communications. Lin Baicheng expressed doubts about this, because Sun Electronics Communications is currently too small compared with Telephone and Telegraph Group.

If Sun Electronics Communications Company had a market value of tens of billions of dollars, then Lin Baicheng would not think too much about it. Although the market value of tens of billions of dollars is still incomparable with the Telephone and Telegraph Group, there is a good saying, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail It is much more comfortable to serve as the president of a slightly smaller company than to be the vice president of a larger company.

The constraints of the position of vice president are relatively large, and the power is incomparable with that of the president. The power of the president is obviously more attractive.

"Brother Lin!"

Lin Baicheng didn't go upstairs, Guan Zhilin woke up and found that the person next to his pillow was gone, so he came downstairs.

"Jiahui has woken up."

While speaking, Lin Baicheng looked at Chen Huixiang who was not far away, and said to Chen Huixiang who came over: "Is there anything else to report?"

Chen Huixiang said: "There is still no progress on the Bay Island that you asked to pay attention to."

"Continue to pay attention. If there is no news at night, ask Qin Lan and Huang Xizhao what is going on."

Lin Baicheng knew that if the Wandao News Bureau did not see Qin Lan and the others on Saturday and Sunday, it meant that the Wandao side had a big opinion on his failure to go there, at least to give Qin Lan and the others a blow, or even worse. Situations are possible.

Lin Baicheng did not go to Bay Island to communicate and explain in person, maybe the people there would think that he refused to bow his head and wanted a tough confrontation, so there may be more intense suppression.

However, despite this possibility, Lin Baicheng is still not prepared to go there. It is safer to stay in Xiangjiang at this time.

Anyway, Lin Baicheng has already prepared for the worst, that is, the Bay Island authorities will completely block his industry and prevent companies or products related to him from entering the Bay Island market. Lin Baicheng will temporarily lose the Bay Island market completely, and the unblocking period is uncertain. .

Being completely banned will certainly have an impact on Lin Baicheng's career, but he is mentally prepared to earn less if he earns less. Anyway, he can afford this kind of loss.

"Yes!"

"If there is nothing else, let's do this first."

"Then I'll go outside first, call me if you need anything."

Before leaving, Chen Huixiang said hello to Guan Zhilin, and then went outside the villa, staying outside instead of leaving the villa.She is Lin Baicheng's personal secretary, and Lin Baicheng will call her whenever he needs it.

"Brother Lin, are you talking about the banning of the Asia Star Media Group by the Bay Island News Bureau?"

Guan Zhilin sat directly on Lin Baicheng's lap, wrapping his arms around his neck.

"Ok!"

Lin Baicheng responded, and said, "Just leave Jiahui alone about business matters, I will take care of them."

"I listen to Brother Lin."

Guan Zhilin originally didn't know much about business matters, nor was he interested, so he complied obediently.

After a while, Guan Zhilin's breakfast was served, and Lin Baicheng ate breakfast with her.

Because I got up late, the morning passed quickly. Lin Baicheng was going to accompany Guan Zhilin in the afternoon, but Deng Lijun, who didn't want to go back to Xiangjiang, called and said that he wanted to meet him. He agreed after a little consideration .
