Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

The next day, the day before Christmas, is Christmas Eve.

Lin Baicheng contacted Isabella in the morning and asked Isabella to take a lawyer to draft a transaction contract to find Phil Smith and trade the five antiques. As for the price, it was whatever Phil Smith said, and Lin Baicheng was not prepared to bargain.

Of course, this was because Lin Baicheng knew very well that the prices of the five antiques would not be very high, and he also gave Isabella a reserve price. As long as the reserve price did not exceed this reserve price, the transaction would be completed at the price Phil Smith said. .

Although today is Sunday, Isabella and the lawyer are not ordinary office workers. The big boss Lin Baicheng has a task to arrange, and of course they have to complete it as soon as possible.

The price of the five antiques is indeed not high. Phil Smith gave a cost price of US$300,000, of which the jade seal is worth US$150,000. This shows that the people Phil Smith is looking for are not very good, even from China. I don’t know which antiques are more valuable.

But it's none of Lin Baicheng's business, as long as it's an antique.

Regarding these five antiques, Lin Baicheng was actually not sure whether they were all genuine. After all, there were also counterfeiters in ancient times, and the counterfeiters were often masters. He plans to wait until he returns to Xiangjiang to find an expert in antique appraisal and let him do the work for him.

Not only to identify the authenticity of these five antiques, but also to prepare for buying Chinese antiques from the market. As for foreign antiques, forget it. Now that Western countries have developed economies, the value of antiques is naturally not low. There is no need to buy them specifically. After all, he is not collecting them.

Also on this day, Bill Harveys and others returned to Los Angeles.

Lin Baicheng happened to come to Los Angeles on Monday this week. The international gold price was in shock this week, neither rising nor falling much. Although the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong rebounded, Hutchison Whampoa's previous gains were not low. Therefore, it was only a small rebound and did not touch the price of HK$60. It fluctuated around HK$58.

This week, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price did not exceed 60 Hong Kong dollars, so the stocks held by offshore companies were naturally not sold. In addition, yesterday was Saturday and the Hong Kong stock market was closed for Christmas, so Bill Harveys and the others returned to Los Angeles for Christmas. , only two employees were dispatched to stay in Xiangjiang.

Bill Harveys and the others consulted Lin Baicheng for his opinion, and Lin Baicheng agreed to let them come back to Los Angeles for Christmas.

Also in the evening of this day, Lin Baicheng's two bodyguards Cliff Cooper and Brian Irving came to his villa with eight people with his approval.

There were six men and two women, all standing upright, with sharp eyes and expressionless faces.

Lin Baicheng looked at the eight people standing straight in front of him, and finally his eyes fell on the two women, because they looked to be in their twenties, and for the profession of bodyguards alone, they were a bit too beautiful. Yes, it's on par with Hollywood stars.

"Cliff, Brian, what I'm looking for is a bodyguard, someone who can protect me in case of an accident, not a beautiful vase. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with them two?"

Lin Baicheng did not avoid the two women, but directly questioned Clive Cooper and Brian Irving in front of everyone. Although they were beautiful, as he said, he was looking for bodyguards, not beautiful vases.

If you really want to find a beautiful woman, you might not be able to find one in Hollywood. There aren’t many beautiful women like Demi Moore who are willing to do something for fame in Hollywood.

The two women were not angry when Lin Baicheng was so suspicious. They still stood upright and did not move, nor did they say anything to refute.

"BOSS, don't worry, we have carefully selected these."

Brian Irwin immediately said: "Oni Bright, born in 1954, is a county-level mounted police officer in Texas. After military training, her marksmanship and fighting skills are top-notch, and she has a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. Ori Cassandra Maliuk, born in 1955, is a Russian-American, elite special police officer, with excellent abilities in all aspects. Because of her ethnic origin, she did not get the promotion rewards she deserved for her meritorious service, so she left her job and chose to become a police officer. coach."

Lin Baicheng nodded after hearing this, glanced at the two of them, and said to everyone: "I think since Cliff and Brian have chosen you, it means that your abilities have been recognized by them. The choice is mutual, I have a three-month probation period for you. As long as you make no mistakes during these three months and your abilities are confirmed by me, then I will sign a ten-year bodyguard contract with you. Likewise, during these three months you will You can also observe me and decide whether you want to be my bodyguard for a long time, after all, ten years is not a short time."

"After you are officially hired, your basic annual salary will be US$30,000, including food and accommodation. Your salary will be adjusted annually based on the economic level of the United States. It will only increase but not decrease. In addition, if something happens and you If you handle it in time, I will give you a variable amount of bonus, so your annual income will be at least 30,000 US dollars."

"On my side, your salary is not low, but I want you to protect me. Once I am injured due to your poor protection, I have the right to fire you directly and decide whether to hold you accountable based on the situation. My high salary It’s not that easy to get, and if you decide to leave within ten years, you will have to pay liquidated damages, so you have to decide whether to work for me.”

The annual salary is US$30,000. Although this number is not large, the problem is that the per capita annual non-agricultural income in the United States is only about US$3,000. This annual salary is already ten times that per capita.

You know, it is actually very difficult for veterans to find a job. They will be ostracized by society. The salary of the job they find is not too high. Compared with ten times the per capita annual income, it is far behind. Therefore, the salary offered by Lin Baicheng is absolutely It's a high salary.

After saying that, Lin Baicheng looked at Oni Bright and Orika Sandra Maliuk and said, "Forget about the marksmanship. Do you mind letting me see how good your fighting skills are?"

"Yes, BOOS!"

Oni Bright and Orikasandra Maliuk certainly had no reason to refuse.

On the lawn of the villa, Oni Bright and Orika Sandra Maliuk started fighting with their bare hands. Although the beatings were not as good-looking as those in movies and TV shows, the sound of the beatings on their bodies showed that they did not hold back.

Although the fight was not good-looking, the way they looked fierce convinced Lin Baicheng of their ability.

After deciding to keep these eight people, Lin Baicheng asked Cliff Cooper and Brian Owen to arrange for them to learn some knowledge. Especially Oni Bright and Orika Sandra Maliuk. With these two female bodyguards, Lin Baicheng will definitely take them with him to parties in the future, so they still need to know some etiquette knowledge at the party. To learn.
