Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

"Makoto-kun!"

Haruko Mouri walked into the study with a cup of coffee.

"Haruko, you're here."

Lin Baicheng smiled at the approaching Maori Haruko, picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Haruko Mouri read the annual report on the table and said, "The performance of each company last year should have been good, right?"

"It's okay, at least I wasn't disappointed."

Lin Baicheng nodded and casually showed the annual report to Maori Haruko.

Haruko Maori didn't refuse, so she took the annual report and started reading it.

Browsing through the statistical data, Haruko Maori said: "Among these companies, New Century Software Company has the best performance."

Looking purely from a performance perspective, without looking at the company's total assets, New Century Software is indeed the company with the best performance among companies in the United States and Japan, with a profit of nearly 40 million US dollars.

Of course, this is the company's main business, otherwise it is Bailong Commercial Club that makes more money. Even if Lin Baicheng can only get half of the profit of more than 100 million US dollars, it will not be less than 50 million US dollars. But these are profits from investment, and the company's main business, real estate, has not yet made any money.

Lin Baicheng listened and said: "It will only be such a good performance in the first one or two years. If we don't find new profit points for the company later, the performance will decline sharply."

After hearing this, Haruko Mouri couldn't help but suggest: "If this is the case, then this company can be listed on the market. By then, before the market recedes, there will definitely be a good valuation."

"The company must be listed. This is the United States after all, and I am a foreigner."

It can be said that Lin Baicheng is ready to go public for any company that makes money in the United States. Otherwise, the company will run into trouble after it develops to a certain level, and other capital will not watch him make a lot of money. Choosing to go public is equivalent to choosing to share the cake, but that is different. Even if someone creates trouble, everyone will deal with it together, instead of him carrying it alone.

"But I haven't decided yet when it will go public. I'll look at it again this year. If it can be predicted that the performance will decline, then I will find a way to go public in advance and make a profit."

When a company goes public, it is not just to make money and cut leeks. Therefore, it must be listed when the company's performance is good and it seems to have promising development prospects. Only in this way will it have a higher price-to-earnings ratio and a higher stock price.

Maori Haruko said: "In fact, no matter which country you are in, after foreign capital develops a domestic enterprise to a certain extent, domestic capital must participate in it. Chairman, if you don't want to go public, you can find a few strong partners for financing. , which has the same effect.”

"Instead of doing this, I would rather choose to go public. If the company goes public, I can reduce my stock holdings and withdraw funds if necessary. If I don't go public, I can't get cash."

Lin Baicheng shook his head. Although the number of shares given up by not going public may be smaller, the shares in hand cannot be converted into cash. At most, they can get a loan from a bank. It is better to choose to go public directly.

Haruko Mouri nodded in agreement: "There are many benefits to a company going public. Not only does it become more famous, but it also makes it much easier to raise financing."

"We will decide later whether it will be listed on the market or not."

Lin Baicheng stopped talking about this topic and changed the topic: "Qingzi, I want to form a group company and put various companies under one group, so that some companies can complement each other, reduce costs, etc., what do you think?"

"Chairman, you now have more than ten companies in your hands. It is indeed necessary to establish a group."

Maori Haruko nodded in agreement, then said, "However, I don't think all companies should be placed under the same group. This will cause business confusion, and the integration alone will take a lot of time."

"Then do you have any suggestions?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, feeling that what Maori Haruko said made sense.

"Chairman, you can set up several group companies and put companies with similar nature and complementary qualities into the same group."

Haruko Mouri answered aloud, and then said: "I remember Chairman, you said that the acquisition of semiconductor technology is for the console service of Galaxy Games, and the relevant technology is controlled in one's own hands. In this case, then these two companies can form a Group, if necessary in the future, we can just set up relevant subsidiaries under this group."

"The Semiconductor Company must be separated from Galaxy Games, because I am planning to list Galaxy Games Company, and forget about the Semiconductor Company for the time being. I will only continue to invest. Even if I want to go public, it will be difficult."

Waving his hand, Lin Baicheng continued: "But I understand what you mean, Qingzi. Companies such as Asia Television, Star Pictures, Star Cinema, Zhiyin Comics Publishing Company, and Morning Star Pictures can be merged into a group and set up a dedicated Media Group, is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

Maori Haruko nodded slightly.

"When it comes to establishing a group, I will find a special time to bring together several of your assistants and the managers of each company, and we will discuss it together to see if this is a better way to do it."

Although he thought Maori Haruko's suggestion was reasonable, Lin Baicheng was not prepared to listen to her alone. He definitely wanted to listen to other people's ideas.

"That's okay. Maybe we can come up with a better proposal by discussing it together."

Maori Haruko was not disappointed after hearing this. It was normal for Lin Baicheng not to listen to her alone. After all, she was just one of many assistants.

Lin Baicheng was actually leaning towards Haruko Maori's suggestion, but there was no harm in listening to other people's ideas.

After hesitating for a while, Haruko Maori still spoke up: "Chairman, for a company with outstanding performance like New Century Software Company, even though the software developed by the company is led by you, the company can achieve such performance because of the management and employees." They must all have contributed. If in this year of 1979, the company's performance still has considerable growth, regardless of whether it chooses to list the company, I think it is necessary to provide equity incentives to some talents. Only in this way can real talents be retained. talent, and attracting more talent to join the company.”

In fact, she really didn't want to say this, because if equity incentives were provided to the talents of New Century Software Company, then Isabella would definitely be one of the incentive targets, which would be equivalent to giving Isabella a free advantage. But for the sake of Lin Baicheng, she decided to speak out to avoid unnecessary brain drain.

"Thank you for the reminder, Haruko. I know this, and I have always kept it in mind. As long as each company develops to a certain level, I will provide equity incentives."

Lin Baicheng nodded to express his understanding. If you want to retain talents, you must provide equity incentives. Dead wages cannot retain real talents. Of course, equity incentives don't mean rewarding them with a large amount of shares all at once. They must be given slowly in batches. He definitely doesn't need to think about the specific incentive plan. He will just find someone to do it at that time.
