Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 98 Advice from Assistants
"Do you have any questions, or suggestions, for these properties in my name?"

After listening to the reports of the three, Lin Baicheng asked Cheng Yufeng, Haruko Mori, and Isabella.He hired them as assistants, in addition to assisting him in managing the company, he also meant to treat them as a think tank.

Although Lin Baicheng knows the general trend of future development, it is not a panacea, unless he buys a house and settles it down, then he doesn't have to do anything.

Of course Cheng Yufeng, Mouri Haruko and Isabella have something to ask and some ideas, otherwise they would not be able to reflect their abilities.

The three of them looked at each other, and Cheng Yufeng took the lead in saying: "Mr. Lin, I want to ask, you hold the stocks of Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and Cangjiang Industrial respectively. Why? If you If you want to acquire a certain company, you should buy the stock of that company with all your strength."

Lin Baicheng was not going to hide it from the three of them, so he explained: "At the beginning, I actually wanted to acquire the company Wharf. I originally wanted to borrow more funds from Goldman Sachs for the acquisition, but I didn't expect Cangjiang to buy it. Li Jiacheng of the industry also took a fancy to this company and secretly bought shares in Wharf, which caused me to fail before I started the acquisition. But I am not going to give up the acquisition, so I still hold some shares in Wharf.”

"As for Hutchison Whampoa, I also want to acquire this company, but it is difficult to acquire this company. Its controlling party, the Kidekun family, holds about 20% of the shares, and HSBC Bank also holds about 20% of the shares. It is impossible to acquire the company without buying the shares of HSBC Bank. Therefore, in addition to buying Nianxiang, I bought the shares of this company because I think the market value of this company is undervalued. The idea of ​​appreciation is there."

"The last Cangjiang Industrial, it is Li Jiacheng's company, and Li Jiacheng holds about 10% of the shares of Wharf. I intend to secretly acquire the shares of Cangjiang Industrial, threaten his controlling stake in the company, and negotiate with Li Jiacheng. In exchange, exchange the shares of Wharf from him."

"Mr. Lin, if this is the case, I don't think it is necessary for you to hold shares in Hutchison Whampoa for the time being. The total market value of this company is nearly 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. With your current assets, it is difficult to acquire it. If this is the case, why not Go all out to win the company Wharf.”

After listening to Lin Baicheng, Cheng Yufeng gave advice.

Haruko Mori nodded and said in agreement: "Chairman, to you, a listed company under your control is more important than you holding shares in two companies but not being able to control it."

Isabella also said: "Boss, the funds you use to buy Hutchison Whampoa stocks, no matter which company is used in Wharf or Cangjiang Industrial, can speed up your acquisition of Wharf. time."

"A bird in hand is worse than a thousand birds in the forest!"

Hearing what the three of them said, Lin Baicheng couldn't help but move.That’s right, he’s too greedy, he wants to buy both Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa, and he doesn’t think about how much money he has now, and how long it will take before he has enough money to buy the two companies.

Rather than being unable to acquire both companies, it is better to win the Wharf company with all its strength and control it.As for Hutchison Whampoa, if it has not been acquired, it will not be too late to acquire it after he has more funds.

"Okay, then sell the shares of Hutchison Whampoa first, and use the funds to acquire the shares of Cangjiang Industrial."

"After the last confrontation in Wharf, Jardine Matheson may be more sensitive to changes in Wharf's stock price. It is not a good time to make a big purchase. I think it is better to wait for the shares from Li Jiacheng to buy before buying. , what do you say?"

Cheng Yufeng, Mouri Haruko and Isabella did not object to this.

Isabella even said: "BOSS, you can ask people to check whether there are any institutions holding a large number of shares in these two companies. If so, we can buy the shares from the institutions at a premium. As long as the contract is signed, You don’t have to worry about the institution exposing the transaction.”

Lin Baicheng looked at Cheng Yufeng after hearing the words: "Yufeng, ask someone to investigate this matter. But remember, don't expose our existence until our goal is not achieved."

Cheng Yufeng nodded: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, I know what to do."

"Is there anything else to ask or suggest?"

Lin Baicheng looked at the three of them, and sure enough, the assistant team did not ask for nothing, and the suggestion just now was very good.

Haruko Mori said aloud: "Chairman, from the perspective of business management, it is not appropriate for you to use the shares of the game company as collateral for a loan of [-] million U.S. dollars and raise five times the leverage to buy gold futures. Galaxy Games is a high-quality company. It is too risky to go long gold futures with this company’s share loan.”

"Being long on gold futures will not change. I judge that the inflation rate in the United States and Western countries will rise in the next few years, especially the debt ratio in the United States will continue to increase, so the price of gold will be supported and rise. This is the future A big trend for a few years."

Lin Baicheng shook his head. The reborn he knows best that the past few years have been a big bull market for gold, so this point of being long gold futures will not change.

Cheng Yufeng and Isabella also wanted to talk about this, but after seeing Lin Baicheng's attitude, they stopped mentioning it.

Isabella turned and said: "Boss, although I don't know much about futures investment, my friend told me that 200 US dollars per ounce will be the pressure level of gold in the short term, and it will be difficult to break through. Therefore, when the gold price is close to 200 US dollars per ounce When the gold price is in the ounce range, you can sell long futures appropriately, and then buy them back after the gold price drops, and you can make more profits by doing short-term spreads.”

"Where does your friend work? How is his ability?" Lin Baicheng asked.

Isabella immediately shook her head when she heard the words: "Boss, if you want to poach her, you will be disappointed. She works for Merrill Lynch and currently manages an investment fund of [-] million US dollars."

"It seems very capable."

Lin Baicheng was a little surprised, and then said: "If there is a chance in the future, I would like to meet her. As for the short-term trade you said, forget it. I am more optimistic about the long-term rise of gold. I would rather not do short-term trades than miss out."

It's not that Lin Baicheng has never thought of asking professional investors to do short-term business for him, but then he thought that people on Wall Street are not omnipotent, and the other side is not without the possibility of missing out. He had to vomit blood.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng would rather make less short-term profits than the tragedy of being short-sighted.

After that, Cheng Yufeng, Mori Haruko and Isabella did not make any other suggestions, but asked Lin Baicheng about the development direction of all companies in 1978, so that they could also know what they were doing and help them better Lin Baicheng.
