Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

After handing over the acquisition to Isabella and Bill Harveys, Lin Baicheng began to take turns working at New Century Software Company, Starlight Company and Morningstar Pictures.

Of course, Lin Baicheng would not completely ignore Xiangjiang. His secretary Qin Lan would sort out the affairs in Xiangjiang and report to him every day.

This time, he planned to sell the long gold futures in the United States, and the gold futures in Japan and the United Kingdom. Lin Baicheng also sent Yuan Tianfan and Anyuan there respectively.

In the UK, the cost price of Hutchison Whampoa's long gold futures is 206.8 US dollars per ounce, which is not very profitable. Lin Baicheng is not sure whether the gold price will rise in the next few months of this year, so he decided not to move it. It’s nothing to lose anyway.

However, he personally placed a long order on gold futures with a principal amount of 100 million US dollars in Standard Chartered. The cost was 188.5 US dollars per ounce. He had already made a lot of profit and could sell it first.

In addition, the cost price of Yum Fund's first batch of HK$18 million is only US$172.8 per ounce, and of course it can be sold. The second batch of funds later raised HK$75 million, more than four times that of the first batch of funds. Lin Baicheng also used ten times leverage to do long gold futures, but this time the cost price was above US$200 per ounce. , there is no need to sell this time.

The same is true for long gold futures orders through the channels of Japan's Mitsubishi Bank. If the cost price is less than 200 US dollars per ounce, you can also sell them and pocket the profits.

Although long gold futures in several places have to be sold, Lin Baicheng is still waiting for the gold price to make a choice in the range of US$225 to US$230. He is not ready to sell during the current shock period.

In the past few days, something happened in Xiangjiang that was barely a good thing for Lin Baicheng, that is, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price rose again, breaking through the price of HK$60 again. The reason why it is barely considered a good thing is because Lin Baicheng has no intention of reducing his holdings. The short-term rise or fall has no effect on him.

The reason why Hutchison Whampoa's stock price has risen again this time has nothing to do with Lin Baicheng. The stock price did not rise because of the good news. It rose due to the upward influence of the entire Hong Kong stock market.

Speaking of this year’s Hong Kong Hang Seng Index.

At the beginning of the year, the Hang Seng Index fell from just over 400 points to around 380 points. Later, affected by Hutchison Whampoa's negative announcement, the Hang Seng Index fell to a minimum of around 367 points. Later, the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa rose sharply, and stimulated by the news of ideal profits, generous dividends and continuous acquisitions of major companies, the Hang Seng Index rose to around 460 points in May, to around 580 points in July, and to around 580 points in September. At the beginning of the month, it even rose to over 700 points.

From 400 points to 700 points, it can be said that the Hang Seng Index has risen by about 75%, which is already a considerable increase. After a big rise, there will naturally be adjustments.

Due to profit-taking, the Hang Seng Index fell from early 700 points to 602 points. Then when Lin Baicheng went to the mainland, the Hang Seng Index slowly began to rebound. Now the Hang Seng Index has rebounded to around 650 points.

The Hang Seng Index rebounded, rising alongside the volatile Hutchison Whampoa.

On the 26th, Lin Baicheng was working at Morning Star Pictures.

It was said that he was working at Morningstar Pictures, but there were no major projects at Morningstar Pictures that required Lin Baicheng to handle personally. The daily affairs were handled by Shirley Lansing, so there was no need for Lin Baicheng to intervene.

Because several of the films were low-budget, Lin Baicheng didn't bother to go to the crew to watch them, but stayed with the company's screenwriters.

Lin Baicheng told the plot of a classic Hollywood series of movies in his previous life, and then asked the screenwriter to write the script. After he read it and confirmed that there were no problems, the company then got it to the Screenwriters Guild to register it, so that the script belonged to Morningstar Pictures.

Take "Home Alone", which Lin Baicheng has always wanted to film, as an example. Lin Baicheng actually only watched the first two parts. He told the plots of the first two parts, and several screenwriters wrote them into scripts, and then the screenwriters wrote based on the first two stories. The third story plot creates a trilogy.

In the "Home Alone" series of movies, Lin Baicheng plans to shoot a trilogy from the beginning, so that he does not have to worry about the actors growing up and the salary increase. Although shooting three movies in a row will lead to a huge increase in costs, Lin Baicheng is quite confident in the first two movies. Although the third movie is an original plot, as long as the filming is not too bad and the previous two movies are the basis, he will definitely make money.

When filming this series of movies, Lin Baicheng will definitely pay attention. The plot development must be the same as what he has seen. Only in this way will it be more likely to succeed. With examples of great success in his previous life, Lin Baicheng only adapted the original plot when he was full. He must have copied the successful story.

It's a pity that it's really hard to find the male protagonist boy of "Home Alone". Shirley Lansing has never forgotten the task given to her by Lin Baicheng, but it's a pity that she hasn't found that kind of clever boy with intelligence.

Without the leading actor, of course the film would not have been made.

In the "Home Alone" series of movies, the male protagonist is very important. If he were not an eccentric boy, the film would not be able to achieve the desired effect.

Therefore, unless a suitable male protagonist is found, Lin Baicheng would rather seal the script temporarily than find a random little boy to film the film.

You know, the profits of the "Home Alone" series of movies are measured in hundreds of millions of dollars. For profits of hundreds of millions of dollars, Lin Baicheng is willing to wait for several years.

"Mr. Lin!"

Lin Baicheng was talking about the plot of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series with several screenwriters in the company in the office, and Qin Lan walked in.

"What's up?"

"Manager Isabella just called and said that the gold price has changed and is sprinting towards the price of 230 US dollars per ounce. Now the long and short parties are competing at this price."

"You go back first. I will tell you the rest of the story when I find time."

After listening to Qin Lan's words, Lin Baicheng immediately said to several screenwriters.

"Yes, BOSS!"

After hearing this, several screenwriters got up and left.

"Book a flight to New York and let Isabella and Bill take the team with me."

After saying something to Qin Lan, Lin Baicheng walked outside.

The reason why I want to go to New York is because Wall Street is in New York. Although gold futures operations can also be carried out in Los Angeles, Lin Baicheng will conduct settlement this time, which involves nearly one billion US dollars of funds. Of course, he must be present in person.

Lin Baicheng and his party flew to New York. By the time they arrived in New York, it was already late at night. The time here in New York is already 3 hours faster than in Los Angeles. Add in the fact that it takes about 5 hours to fly, which equals eight or nine hours.
