Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Although the time has entered January 1978, according to the lunar calendar, it is actually still 1977, and the New Year has not yet arrived.

Like China, Xiangjiang celebrates the Lunar New Year, and there are still about ten days until the first day of the first lunar month of the new year.

1977 is coming to an end. As the boss, Lin Baicheng must of course pay bonuses and benefits to his employees below. In fact, it’s okay not to pay them. After all, this is not stipulated in the employment contract, but you don’t want to be called a miser by the employees below, and you don’t want employees to change jobs frequently. When the company makes a lot of money, bonuses and benefits are still necessary.

Lin Baicheng is not prepared to save this kind of money, after all, it is not much, but he will not stupidly distribute large amounts of bonuses and benefits to employees.

Lin Baicheng did not need to do this himself. As early as ten days ago when there was only one month left in the lunar calendar and the New Year was coming, Lin Baicheng asked his sister Lin Shufang to do this. He only had to make the final decision.

At the same time, because the New Year was coming, the two presidents of Xinhua News Agency, Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan, came to visit again, nominally to pay New Year greetings. They chatted with Lin Baicheng and congratulated Lin Baicheng on winning the big company Hutchison Whampoa. , to bring the relationship closer.

Lin Baicheng did not take the initiative to visit the two of them at Xinhua News Agency, but he welcomed their arrival and had a pleasant chat with each other.

Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan even invited Lin Baicheng to visit the country when he had time. They said that the current domestic environment is different from before. In the past, local reports in Xiangjiang were biased and demonized. Lin Baicheng went to the country in person. If you go, you can really see what the country is like.

Lin Baicheng declined this invitation. He said that he would go to the United States soon after the new year and might have to stay for a long time. He would visit the mainland when he has time next time.

Lin Baicheng knew very well that there was not much point in going to the mainland now. Don't think about doing business. It was really just a walk around. Xinhua News Agency's invitation to him should be to let him know more about the mainland. In addition, it should be to further confirm his position. .

Lin Baicheng is not worried about the negative impact of his refusal. Anyway, this is not a large-scale official invitation. When the government invites a large number of Hong Kong business elites to the mainland, he will just go. At that time, his position No more needs to be said.

Nowadays, making money is more important.

Although Lin Baicheng has not been to the United States recently, Isabella is here. He learned from Isabella's report that Apple has expanded very quickly since receiving his financing funds, and personal computers are selling very well.

The personal computer market is still in its infancy. At this time, this market has not attracted much attention. He must develop office software before the market becomes bigger, and then occupy the market in the early stage.

On the day when Xinhua News Agency came to visit, Lin Baicheng received an invitation letter.

This is an invitation letter from Huo Yingdong, but it is not an invitation to Lin Baicheng to visit the Huo family, but an invitation letter from the Hong Kong Chinese Business Association, inviting Lin Baicheng to attend the year-end party held by the Chinese Business Association.

The so-called Hong Kong Chinese Merchants Association is actually an association established in the early years when it was not easy for Chinese people to do business. Therefore, it was led by Huo Yingdong and responded by Bao Yugang and others. It aimed to unite Chinese capital, avoid internal strife, and try to discuss everything internally. solve.

This is a non-binding guild. Huo Yingdong serves as the honorary president and holds a party at the end of each year. All well-known Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong are invited.

After Lin Baicheng acquired Asia Television, he received an invitation to join the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association. After learning the nature of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, he agreed to join. Cheng Yufeng was the one who went to go through the formalities at that time, but he did not go there himself.

This time it was a year-end party, and another invitation was sent. Lin Baicheng happened to have nothing to do, so he decided to go happily.

The invitation was sent three days in advance, and three nights later, Lin Baicheng went to attend the party.

The gathering place this time was not at the Peninsula Hotel, but at a hotel run by a Chinese businessman.

There were many Chinese businessmen who came to the party that night. It could be said that all the well-known ones came. Lin Baicheng now recognized many of them, but there were only a few whom he did not recognize.

When Lin Baicheng arrived, there were already many people.

"Lin Sheng!" "Lin Sheng, long time no see!".

Many people who saw Lin Baicheng's arrival greeted Lin Baicheng, and Lin Baicheng also greeted them. It was not the first time that they met.

This time, Lin Baicheng's status is completely different, because he acquired Hutchison Whampoa and gained control of this large company with a market value of nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. His influence immediately soared, which was unmatched in the past.

Although the people here tonight are all Chinese businessmen, this does not mean that Chinese businessmen have not cooperated with British companies. There are many Chinese businessmen here tonight who have major cooperation with Hutchison Whampoa. Of course they will not ignore Lin Baicheng and Remember the chairman of Huangpu.

Although Lin Baicheng didn't know this, when people greeted him, he responded with a smile, shook hands politely, and chatted for a while.

"Li Sheng, I haven't congratulated you yet. Wharf's stock price has now risen above 30 Hong Kong dollars."

After a while, Lin Baicheng greeted Li Jiacheng the same way, but did not shake hands with Li Jiacheng.

"What a blessing. If we hadn't sold half of it at a low price before, we would have made a lot of money. Now we can only protect our capital."

Li Jiacheng said that the higher Wharf's stock price rose, the more dissatisfied he became with Lin Baicheng and the deeper his hostility became. If it weren't for what Lin Baicheng did, he would have made at least two or three times the profit from the Wharf stock this time, about HK$500 million. But now it's better. Even if Wharf's stock price can rise to forty or fifty Hong Kong dollars in the end, he will only earn about one or two hundred million Hong Kong dollars at most, which is a huge difference.

With a gap of at least 300 to 400 million Hong Kong dollars, this feud was huge. Li Jiacheng was able to hold back his anger and did not show it. That was because he had a plan in mind, but such a big festival would never be easily exposed.

"Who is not? I also sold the stocks long ago. Now I have lost at least 100 million Hong Kong dollars."

Lin Baicheng shook his head, looking very regretful.

Li Jiacheng was deeply hostile to Lin Baicheng, and Lin Baicheng was equally hostile. Otherwise, he would not have let Cheng Yufeng and Wei Li suppress Cangjiang Industrial through the power of Hutchison Whampoa.

Lin Baicheng is not afraid of Li Jiacheng's enemy at all. No matter where he goes, he will bring a large number of bodyguards with him, and his family also has arrangements around him, so he is not afraid of others playing dirty tricks. As for business competition, if he, as a reborn person, cannot defeat Li Jiacheng, then he will be a failure.
