Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

The first day of December.

At around 7 a.m., a Boeing 747 landed at Kai Tak Airport.

There were not many passengers on the plane as it was a luxurious private jet with a gorgeous interior.

A group of people headed by Haruko Mouri, Vivien Kelly, Bill Harveys and others got off the plane and divided into two teams when they walked towards the airport hall.

Haruko Mouri and Bill Harveys left the team, while Vivien Kelly joined the remaining people.

At the exit, Haruko Maori and Bill Harveys met Qin Lan, who had come to pick them up at the airport. Both parties were already familiar with each other.

Qin Lan drove Haruko Maori and Bill Harveys to Lin Baicheng's Repulse Bay Villa.

"Secretary Qin, Assistant Maoli, who is this?"

When the three of them arrived at the villa, they happened to meet Lin Shufang who was about to go out. She had never met Bill Harveys before.

Qin Lan introduced: "Manager Lin, this is Mr. Bill Harveys, Mr. Lin's assistant in the United States."

"Hello, Manager Lin."

Lin Shufang didn't know Bill Harveys. Although Bill Harveys met Lin Shufang for the first time, he had inquired about Lin Shufang's information from Haruko Maori and Isabella before coming here, and knew that Lin Shufang was from his family. The boss's sister. Not only Lin Shufang, but also Bill Harveys knew the information about Lin Baicheng's parents and sister Lin Qin.

"Hello to you, Mr. Harveys."

Lin Shufang smiled and said hello to Bill Harveys, and then left.

Qin Lan walked into the villa with Haruko Maori and Bill Harveys. Lin Baicheng was watching TV in the living room at the moment. When he saw the three people coming in, he greeted them to the study upstairs.

This time, Haruko Maori and Bill Harveys came here to report something to Lin Baicheng. Vivien Kelly and her team came here to take over the shares of Hutchison Whampoa held by Goldman Sachs and other institutions, so that there would be no problems if they operate by themselves. .

"Before you come over, Isabella called me from Los Angeles and said that Goldman Sachs, Morgan and other institutions in Hong Kong contacted her through the headquarters yesterday, and the short side wanted to contact her through Goldman Sachs and other institutions to buy stocks. The offshore company hopes to buy all the shares held by the company."

"I think if they know that Vivien and his party are coming today, they will definitely contact Vivien and the others, so after you leave, Bill, tell Vivien and the others about this. But be careful when you leave, don't let them know People knew about our relationship, which exposed my relationship with the offshore company."

Lin Baicheng spoke first and said that Maori Haruko had been to Xiangjiang many times before, so it was not suitable for her to meet Vivien Kelly and others again. Bill Harveys was different. He was a new face in Xiangjiang. If you were careful, no one would know that he was Lin Baicheng's assistant.

"Okay, Mr. Lin!"

Bill Harveys nodded in agreement, and then asked: "But Mr. Lin, regarding what you just said about the short party wanting to buy the company's shares, do you want to sell the stock to the short party?"

"We can negotiate, but the selling price cannot be lower than 40 Hong Kong dollars. The higher the better."

The short side secretly wanted to contact an offshore company to buy the stock. Lin Baicheng guessed that the short side was ready to admit defeat. Of course, he could not sell the stock to the short side cheaply, and he would have to cut a piece of flesh from them.

40 Hong Kong dollars is Lin Baicheng's current bottom price. Once the gold price officially rebounds to above 200 US dollars per ounce, Hutchison Whampoa's investment in gold futures will no longer suffer losses. At that time, his psychological price to sell will be more than 40 Hong Kong dollars. Low.

Although the price of gold is now trending to rebound to US$200 per ounce, this is just a trend. No one is sure whether it will really rebound, so Lin Baicheng did not set the psychological price too high.

As for whether the short side will accept this price, Lin Baicheng doesn't care. Anyway, he can afford it and is not in a hurry to sell the stock.

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Bill Harveys responded: "I will discuss with Miss Vivien and other members of the team to try to sell it at a higher price."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard this, looked at the two of them and said, "First tell me about the acquisition I entrusted to Goldman Sachs."

“Regarding Mr. Lin’s entrustment to acquire Goldman Sachs, the progress is currently mixed.”

Haruko Maori replied, took out the document from her bag and handed it to Lin Baicheng: "The first is Intel's memory chip technology. Intel agreed to sell advanced technology and grant patent authorization, but we must buy two old ones at the same time. Production line. Intel wants a price of US$100 million, but the actual value of the technology license plus two production lines is less than US$50 million. Goldman Sachs counter-offered US$85 million and is still negotiating.”

"However, according to Goldman Sachs's estimate, it is difficult to lower the price below $80 million. Below this price, Intel will not be willing to sell the most advanced technology."

It is said to be the most advanced technology, but this technology has actually been out for several years. Intel has now developed more advanced memory chip technology, so it is willing to sell the technology of its current products and old production lines in order to bring back a large amount of money. funds.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that memory chip technology is not that important now. When personal computers and mobile phones become popular, both computers and mobile phones will use memory chips. Then memory chip technology will be even more important. I am afraid that I will be a generation behind. Intel is not so willing to sell its technology, and the price is sky-high.

"I can accept this price, but let Goldman Sachs continue to negotiate, and it would be good to negotiate down to US$1 million."

Lin Baicheng said aloud that although the price was much higher, he didn't have the technology, so he was willing to pay a high price to buy the relevant technology.

Haruko Maori said aloud: "If Mr. Lin can accept this price, then Goldman Sachs will be able to complete the relevant acquisitions soon."

Nodding, Lin Baicheng said to Bill Harveys: "After the memory chip technology is acquired, remember to dig some talents from Intel or other companies. I will pay them a higher salary to hire them to work here in Xiangjiang." It is not enough to have technology alone, but also to have talents, so that more advanced technologies can be researched.

"Although there will be some people who are unwilling to come to work in the East, there will be people who will choose to work in Xiangjiang under the temptation of higher salaries."

Bill Harveys immediately responded that although many Americans have the impression of Xiangjiang as a British colony in the backward East, as long as the treatment is good enough, there is no need to worry about no one coming to work in Xiangjiang.

Americans may have trouble with anyone, but they will never have trouble with money.

"That's the best."

Lin Baicheng nodded. In order to let outstanding technical talents work for him, high salaries are necessary.
