Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Chapter 139 Year-end gathering of Chinese businessmen (Part 2)

"Did Lin Sheng lose 100 million Hong Kong dollars? Why do I think Lin Sheng made a lot of money?"

After listening to Lin Baicheng's words, Li Jiacheng said: "Lin Sheng bought the Hutchison Whampoa shares from HSBC at a par price, and then bought enough Hutchison Whampoa shares at a premium of only about 20%. You have easily become the largest shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, and no one will compete with you, Lin Sheng.”

"Looking at Wharf again, Mr. Bao is currently competing fiercely with Jardine Matheson. He holds no more shares than Jardine Matheson. He has not yet taken control of Wharf. But if you buy stocks now, you have to pay more than before the acquisition. 100% premium.”

"Compared with Bao Sheng, Lin Sheng has made a lot of money and barely paid any price."

"You can't say that. I sold the Wharf shares to Bao Sheng at a low price. This is the price I paid, and the price is not small at all."

Lin Baicheng disagrees with Li Jiacheng. He sold 8.5 million shares of Wharf to Bao Yugang at HK$20 per share. So every time the stock price is HK$1 higher than HK$20, it is equivalent to a loss of HK$8.5 million, which is an increase of HK$10. That’s a loss of HK$85 million. The current stock price of Wharf is a little over 30 Hong Kong dollars, which means that he has lost almost 90 million Hong Kong dollars.

This is only the current loss, and does not include the loss after the Wharf stock price increases again, so no matter what, it cannot be said that Lin Baicheng did not pay the price.

Li Jiacheng smiled when he heard this and did not refute. He nodded and left. If the words were not interesting, there was no need to talk more.

Seeing Li Jiacheng leaving, Lin Baicheng couldn't help but think that he couldn't let Li Jiacheng hold Wharf's stocks and make a fortune from these stocks. Since they are already enemies, of course they want to weaken Li Jiacheng's strength. The less capital Li Jiacheng has, the slower his development will be in the future, and the easier it will be to suppress him.

"But Lin Sheng from Asia Television?"

Just as he was thinking about something, someone came up next to him and said hello, and Lin Baicheng immediately followed the sound.

"Sir Shao? Hello, hello."

Lin Baicheng was a little surprised and shook hands with this man. This man was Shao Yifu of TVB, the major shareholder of TVB. However, now Shao Yifu is only the major shareholder of Wireless Wireless, not the largest shareholder. The largest shareholder is Li Xiaohe of Lijia, and Lijia belongs to Lijia.

Shao Yifu said: "Lin Sheng, I happen to meet you here tonight. I want to ask you something."

"Sir Shao, please speak."

"As for Asia Television's frequent poaching of TVB actors in recent days, Lin Sheng, do you know?"

Although he asked this, Shao Yifu knew very well that Lin Baicheng should know about this matter, and it should even be what Lin Baicheng asked Huang Xizhao to do. Things were going well before Lin Baicheng took over Asia Television, but after he took over, there was a poaching incident. Who else could it be if it wasn't Lin Baicheng, the boss, who asked for it.

Although the largest shareholder of TVB is Li Xiaohe, Li Xiaohe is no longer in charge due to poor health. No one in the next generation of the Li family wants to enter the entertainment industry, so TVB's daily affairs have been managed by Shao Yifu.

"I know this."

Lin Baicheng did not deny what he said, and nodded: "Sir Shao, I think it is too bad for actors to film randomly among three TV stations. They must sign long-term contracts. Otherwise, I have finally cultivated a star, but I will not be able to do it." If I went to TVB or Jiashi to film, wouldn’t I suffer a big loss?”

"Even so, Lin Sheng, you don't need to poach people from the two TV stations, right?"

If Asia Television had only poached a few people, Shao Yifu would not have gone to Lin Baicheng to talk about it. This time, Asia Television contacted a lot of TVB actors. Although some refused, there were others who were impressed by Asia Television's conditions. Choose to join Asia Television.

Shao Yifu is worried that if things continue like this, a large number of actors will leave the country and people will be confused. How will TVB be able to film in this way?

"This is purely to increase the income of actors and increase costs. Lin Sheng, Asia Television has poached a lot of people. I think enough is enough."

"Let's do this. Tomorrow I will ask Huang Xizhao to see who has been poached. I am here to give you a guarantee, Sir Shao. Except for a few popular stars, Asia TV will no longer poach other popular stars."

With that said, Lin Baicheng continued: "Sir Shao, actually the best solution is for TVB to sign long-term contracts with those actors. In this way, Asia Television has no other choice but to pay high liquidated damages, right?" He was very worried. It is clear that after this poaching incident, TVB will definitely sign long-term contracts with actors in the future. If they want to poach actors again, they will have to pay a high price. There is no need.

"That's what Lin Sheng said."

Shao Yifu nodded. If possible, he didn't want to do this, because doing so would increase the TVB's expenses and reduce profits. But Asia Television has done this, and TVB can only choose to follow suit, unless it no longer wants to develop.

It was good to be able to make Lin Baicheng promise not to poach people on a large scale. After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other at all, so Shao Yifu and Lin Baicheng chatted for a few more words before leaving.

As for popular stars, except for a few, Lin Baicheng is not very keen on poaching them. On the contrary, poaching newcomers like Zhou Runfa is easier and the price to pay is smaller.

"Lin Sheng, what were you talking about with Brother Shao Liu just now?"

After Shao Yifu left, Bao Yugang came over.

"Bao Sheng."

Lin Baicheng said hello and said: "Let's talk about TV stations. Recently, Asia Television is poaching actors from two other TV stations. It seems that they are poaching too hard. Sir Shao is a little anxious."

Bao Yugang heard this and said: "The most important thing is to be harmonious and make money. Actors can be trained by themselves."

"I think so too, so I'm not going to poach people any more."

Lin Baicheng nodded. There would definitely be competition between Asia Television and TVB, but he and Shao Yifu did not necessarily have to be enemies. Since Shao Yifu has told him about this, he must give him face. There is no need to poach popular stars except for a few. Even for the few popular celebrities he cares about, if he can't get them, he won't force them. It's not necessary.

"Come on, Lin Sheng, let's go to brother Huo Yingdong. Brother Huo has long wanted to get to know you, a young genius."

Bao Yugang took Lin Baicheng and walked towards Huo Yingdong at the party center. Huo Yingdong had a great influence among Chinese businessmen, even Bao Yugang could not compare with him.

Speaking of which, Lin Baicheng and Huo Yingdong had met before, at a charity gala held by the Hong Kong government. However, Lin Baicheng was not qualified to be taken seriously by Huo Yingdong at that time. The two were just acquaintances. Did Huo Yingdong remember that people like him would be beaten? A question mark.
