Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

1 billion Hong Kong dollars, nearly 240 million US dollars.

Originally, Lin Baicheng planned to use the money to invest in a home appliance company, but he gave up the plan and instead entered Hollywood. However, Morningstar Pictures only spent 50 million US dollars. Of course, Lin Baicheng could not put the remaining money in the bank to earn interest.

The first profit from "Donkey Kong" was tens of millions of US dollars. Lin Baicheng collected US$200 million, and then used the money to finance through Goldman Sachs channels, using ten times leverage to go long gold futures.

A while ago, the price of gold began to rebound after falling below 160 US dollars per ounce. Now it has stabilized above 160 US dollars per ounce. Lin Baicheng speculates that the possibility of falling further this year is very small.

This money does not need to be used as a deposit, and it cannot be left in the bank to earn interest, so it is naturally used for investment. As for investment, 80 years ago, investing in gold futures was the most cost-effective and the most certain investment to make a profit.

For this ten-fold leveraged investment, the financing used by Lin Baicheng can be canceled at any time, so the financing interest will be higher. The reason for doing this is that Lin Baicheng was not sure when he would use a large amount of funds, so he did not raise funds for too long to avoid finding other ways to use money temporarily.

This money is actually just like putting it in a bank and can be withdrawn at any time. However, compared to investing in a bank, long gold futures investment uses leverage, and the profit will be higher.

There was originally a huge risk, but Lin Baicheng was almost certain that the risk did not exist, so the risk could be ignored.

After Morningstar Pictures was established, Shirley Lansing began to integrate. The leading actor for "Home Alone" was not so easy to find, so he had to wait.

However, while Lin Baicheng develops office software during the day, he takes time to write the script outline for the "Home Alone" trilogy at night. He was so impressed by the first two films in the series that he could write scripts based on them, and could only provide an outline for the third film.

Even so, the first two scripts had to be revised by professional screenwriters. After all, they are family comedies in the United States. The culture is different. How to make it funnier must be more familiar to screenwriters in Hollywood.

Regarding "Home Alone", a series of films that make a lot of money with small blogs, Lin Baicheng will not be careless in the slightest. The better the preliminary work is done, the higher the degree of restoration and the greater the possibility of success.

Time passed by unconsciously, and July came in a blink of an eye.

In about half a month, Shirley Lansing has completed the integration of Morningstar Pictures and then started to produce two low-budget films. Although Lin Baicheng said that Shirley Lansing could make her own decisions about small-budget films, Shirley Lansing still reported to Lin Baicheng about the film to be shot and asked Lin Baicheng for his opinion.

Lin Baicheng was unfamiliar with both the titles and plots of these two films, but this was normal. Unless a low-budget film like this could make a lot of money, Lin Baicheng would not be impressed by them.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng did not make any comments and just told Shirley Lansing to let her make her own decision.

Shirley Lansing was very satisfied with this. It seemed that her boss really kept his word and let her decide on the low-budget film without any regrets. In this way, she can develop the company freely.

Nowadays, New Century Software Company's office software has entered the final stage of research and is about to be completed, so Lin Baicheng is now focusing more on this. Unless he finds an actor suitable for the protagonist of "Home Alone", Lin Baicheng will not participate in the filming of a low-budget film without prior commitment.

Lin Baicheng devotes more time to New Century Software Company so that office software can be developed faster.

Before the development of the office software was completed, Lin Baicheng learned something from Qin Lan, which happened in Xiangjiang.

Jiayi TV, one of the three major TV stations in Hong Kong, was unpopular because of its educational programs. Its ratings were so low that the station was unable to make money from advertising for half a year. Therefore, the station's executives launched the "July Offensive." Before the launch, the artists of Jiashi went out in droves and paraded on floats in the hot weather, visiting 92 areas in Hong Kong to promote Jiashi programs, and there were constant advertisements in newspapers.

It can be said that Jiayi TV Station was a sensation in Xiangjiang at this time, and it was difficult for the citizens of Xiangjiang not to know about it. The ratings increased sharply for a while.

Huang Xizhao reported this matter to Lin Baicheng. It was not that he was worried about the ratings of Asia TV, but that he learned that Jiayi TV was encountering financial difficulties. If this 'July Offensive' did not work, Jiayi TV would Already difficult finances will be exacerbated.

Huang Xizhao learned that Jiashi only received a capital injection from the board of directors last year. Now that the TV station is encountering financial problems, it is unlikely that the board of directors will inject capital again. Jiashi may go bankrupt if it fails. Jiashi has restrictions on broadcasting educational programs within a fixed time period, so Huang Xizhao believes that the possibility of someone acquiring it is very low.

Huang Xizhao, who believed that Jiashi might go bankrupt, reported to Lin Baicheng while preparing for the "July Offensive", hoping to get Lin Baicheng's approval. Once Jiashi was in crisis, he would take the first step to poach Jiashi's talents to Asia. TV station.

After learning about Huang Xizhao's idea, Lin Baicheng naturally would not object and said that he would let Huang Xizhao take care of his own affairs. As long as they are talents that are conducive to the development of the TV station, whether they are in front of the stage or behind the scenes, they can recruit them.

"Will Jiashi go bankrupt in August or September?"

Lin Baicheng thought for a while, but still couldn't remember the specific time. But for him, it has no impact whether Jiashi goes bankrupt in August or September.

However, after the collapse of Jiashi, Asia Television’s only competitor was Wireless. Unlike Jiashi, TVB does not have restrictions on educational programs, and TVB's shareholders are not short of money. Therefore, if you want to defeat TVB, you can only rely on high-quality TV series and other programs, and there is no possibility of other tricks.

For Lin Baicheng, it doesn't matter if he can't defeat TVB. As long as he can suppress TVB and make Asia Television the largest TV station in Hong Kong and capture more ratings. There is not much money to be made from the TV station. What he values ​​​​is the importance of the TV station for publicity.

Ignoring what was happening in Xiangjiang, Lin Baicheng led Adern Sherland, Peter Roslin and other employees of New Century Software Company to make the final sprint on the office software.

In today's new century software companies, all R\u0026D personnel admire their boss's computer skills. At the same time, they also wonder why there are people with such brilliant computer skills like their boss in Asia, a computer desert.

Whenever someone asked about similar doubts, Lin Baicheng always smiled and said nothing and did not explain. He is the boss, even if he doesn't explain, no one dares to force him.
