Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Hong Kong after nightfall.

On Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, where the Peninsula Hotel is located, reporters were waiting outside the hotel and saw cars stopping in front of the hotel. People getting out of the cars were at least slightly famous figures in the Hong Kong business community.

Security guards were deployed outside the Peninsula Hotel to prohibit reporters from approaching and harassing the guests, otherwise the reporters would have already interviewed the guests.

As today's protagonist, Lin Baicheng arrived at the Peninsula Hotel early in the morning. There was no reason for the guests to wait for him anyway.

The guests attending Lin Baicheng's birthday party tonight include, in addition to his own family members and a few close relatives, there are also managers from various companies under Lin Baicheng's name, as well as Lin Baicheng's friends from the business and political circles.

For example, Lin Baicheng personally invited close friends such as Iwasaki Mineryu, Phil Smith, and Bao Yugang, while others who were just acquaintances sent invitation letters, and it was up to him to come or not.

There were so many guests that Lin Baicheng certainly couldn't entertain them all, so his assistants helped him share part of the burden. Those with high status were entertained by Lin Baicheng himself, while those with lower status were entertained by his assistants.

This time, managers of Lin Baicheng's companies in the United States and Japan came to attend his birthday party. This was allowed by Lin Baicheng, because Lin Baicheng would convene them for a meeting on the second day of the birthday party to discuss the establishment of a group. This matter requires a collective effort.

In addition, taking advantage of this birthday party, Lin Baicheng also wanted the management of each company to meet each other and get to know and communicate with each other under the introduction of his assistants. Not to mention how good the relationship between everyone should be in the future, at least when working for the same boss, it is necessary to get to know each other and be familiar with each other.

As the time came to seven o'clock in the evening, all the invited guests came, at least those who Lin Baicheng personally called, so the birthday party officially began.

Amid everyone's blessings, Lin Baicheng blew out the candles and cut the cake.

Lin Baicheng actually didn't care that much about his birthday. If he hadn't planned to call the managers of various companies to Xiangjiang this time, Lin Baicheng wouldn't have planned a big event and would have just held a small birthday party at his home. That's it.

"Lin Sheng, happy birthday, I think I have to say goodbye first."

Not long after the birthday party started, Maliho came to Lin Baicheng and said that he was leaving. He was attending Lin Baicheng's birthday party tonight in a private capacity. As the governor of Hong Kong, it was not convenient for him to stay on such an occasion for too long.

"Sir Mai, thank you for the honor of attending my birthday party. I'll give it to you."

Lin Baicheng did not force Maliho to stay. The other party's coming was already giving him face. After all, Maliho was the governor of Hong Kong. For example, Henry and others from the police department are different. Although they are also in the political field, their identities are not as sensitive as MacLehose, so they continue to stay.

After hearing this, Malihao did not refuse, and left with his personal secretary and security personnel as Lin Baicheng saw him off.

After all, MacLehose was the Governor of Hong Kong, and he was followed by security personnel wherever he went. However, on this occasion tonight, the security personnel appeared dressed like waiters, which was very embarrassing to Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng was also accompanied by bodyguards. Many of the waiters and guests in the hall were disguised as Lin Baicheng's bodyguards. The two beautiful white bodyguards, Oni Bright and Orica Sandra Maliuk, were even more upright. appeared around Lin Baicheng as a guest and could protect Lin Baicheng personally at any time.

Although this seems to be a bit overly stressful and a waste of resources, Lin Baicheng would rather keep wasting resources like this than regretting it later. Even if he regrets then, it will be useless.

Lin Baicheng sent Mailihao to the door, waited for his driver to drive up, watched him get in the car and leave, and then returned to the hotel.

"Alan!"

Only Lin Baicheng's friends in the United States called him this.

"Smith! Logan!"

Lin Baicheng, who came back to the hall, said hello to Phil Smith and Logan Rockefeller, who were walking in. Phil Smith was personally invited by him, and Logan Rockefeller was invited by the way through Phil Smith. Of course he is also happy if the other party is willing to come.

"This is Xiangjiang. I hope you won't be bored."

Phil Smith heard this and said, "We are here to celebrate your birthday, not just for fun."

Logan Rockefeller also said: "If we really want to play, we are going to stay here in Xiangjiang for a few days this time, but we are afraid that we will not have time to play."

Lin Baicheng knew that Phil Smith happened to be here on business this time, and he didn't know if Logan Rockefeller had any business. However, he and Logan Rockefeller were not that familiar. Even if he just wanted to spend a few days in Xiangjiang, he I can’t care less.

Phil Smith said: "Alan, I brought over the completed "Cowboy of the West". When your company supplies the goods, don't hold back."

"Smith, my Galaxy Game Company only received an advance payment of US$5 million from Zhonghe Game Company, but it had to ship 20,000 units worth US$23 million. If it weren't for the fact that I am also the majority shareholder of Zhonghe Game Company, , don’t even think about such a thing.”

"So, I will only prepare this much product at the beginning. If it sells well later, I will produce it according to the order quantity. Otherwise, if the game is not popular and my company prepares a large number of machines, I will suffer a loss."

The arcade machines of Zhonghe Game Company are manufactured by Galaxy Games Company. The total price of arcade manufacturing fees and anti-piracy software licensing fees is US$1,150 per unit, while the cost of Galaxy Games Company is about US$790, which is equivalent to earning 360 per unit. US dollars, but US$70 is the licensing fee for anti-piracy software.

The charges charged by Galaxy Game Company are not bad, because if you find an American company, the charge will be higher. Even if it is a Japanese company, it will cost at least US$1,100. Galaxy Game Company only charges US$1,080 per unit, which is already a preferential price.

The reason why Galaxy Game Company's profits are so high is because the company produces in large quantities and the manufacturing costs of arcade machines have been kept very low. They have not risen sharply with the increase in raw materials. Compared with last year, the cost has only increased by 1%. Just a little bit.

Phil Smith immediately said: "The game will definitely be a hit. This is your idea, Allen. It's hard to imagine whether it will be popular. You will definitely make a lot of money by following Allen."

"Don't put a high hat on me or put pressure on me. I'm not omnipotent, okay?"

Lin Baicheng shrugged, but he was still very confident in the game "Western Cowboy". After all, it was a popular arcade game before his rebirth and had been proven by the market in his previous life.

Several games that have also been proven by the market, such as "Chinese Cube", "Pac-Man", "Donkey Kong" and "Tank Battle", are still popular in this life. It makes no sense that they failed after being put into "Western Cowboy".
