Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

After the board meeting adjourned, Lin Baicheng called Yuan Tianfan to his office.

"Tianfan, sit down."

Lin Baicheng called Yuan Tianfan to sit down on the sofa.

Secretary Chen Huixiang made tea for Lin Baicheng and Yuan Tianfan, brought it in, and then went out.

"Tianfan, now that Galaxy Financial Group has been established, the group's development will only get faster and faster, and you must devote yourself to the work of the group. Therefore, I feel that you are no longer suitable to serve as an honorary director of Hutchison Whampoa. I I’m going to ask you to resign as a director of Hutchison Whampoa, what do you think?”

Galaxy Bank, Yum Securities and Galaxy Insurance merged to form a financial group. At present, this financial group is still in its infancy and cannot even be considered a financial group. It is too small in scale.

"Mr. Lin, I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately, and I'm planning to find a time before the year to talk to you about this matter."

Yuan Tianfan immediately said that the honorary director of Hutchison Whampoa is still very good, and there are not many things to do. Yuan Tianfan came here in a hurry, but the boss said so, of course he can't object, and it might be beneficial to know more.

"There is no rush to resign. You can resign as honorary director after I find a suitable candidate."

Nodding, Lin Baicheng said: "I attach great importance to Galaxy Financial Group. In the future, I will inject more funds into related companies and develop more businesses to make the financial group worthy of its name. Therefore, if you do a good job in the financial group, I will not I’ve treated you badly.”

"I will never let you down, Mr. Lin."

Yuan Tianfan immediately responded, Lin Baicheng's career is getting bigger and bigger now, and of course he wants to hold on to this golden thigh.

"I'm very optimistic about you, don't let me down."

Smiling and nodding, Lin Baicheng turned to say: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you take people abroad, and I will hand over 200 million U.S. dollars of funds to you in batches for operation. You will then use 10 times leverage to do long oil futures. Remember to do a good job in confidentiality, not only to keep the team confidential, but also to use a large number of offshore accounts to conduct confidential operations." 200 million U.S. dollars of funds are in multiple foreign accounts, and Lin Baicheng will not all at once Instead of handing it over to Yuan Tianfan, it was transferred to him in batches. At the same time, supervisors were naturally indispensable.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will definitely keep it confidential."

Yuan Tianfan immediately agreed. Unexpectedly, he was trading oil futures this time. At the same time, he reminded aloud: "Mr. Lin, oil prices have risen a lot recently. I am afraid it is a bit late for us to enter the market at this time."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Lin Baicheng nodded, but did not explain, because there was no need to explain.

"I will choose the team first and wait for your notification from Mr. Lin."

Seeing what Lin Baicheng said, Yuan Tianfan stopped talking. After all, the money belonged to Lin Baicheng, and it was Lin Baicheng who decided how to operate it. The most he could do was make suggestions.

Lin Baicheng nodded and said: "Yum Fund is still raising funds. Let's leave this matter to the people below. Although there are many people investing in Yum Fund, it will take less than a month, but it still takes ten days and a half. Yes, during this time you are going abroad to complete the tasks I assigned you."

Yuan Tianfan took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Lin, do you have any arrangements for the operation of Yum Fund's funds?"

Lin Baicheng said: "When the time comes, register multiple offshore companies and put the funds in the offshore companies for operations. I will tell you the specific investment direction at that time."

"I see."

Yuan Tianfan didn't ask much after hearing this.

Lin Baicheng looked at him and said: "Of the 1 billion Hong Kong dollars of Yum Fund, I will hand over 200 million Hong Kong dollars to you for operation. Although these funds belong to the clients, you can be more bold when investing. You decide how to operate it." .”

Yuan Tianfan is the manager of the investment department of Galaxy Bank. In addition to lending depositors' funds to third parties, the bank also uses some funds for investment. Yuan Tianfan is responsible for this part of the funds. However, this part of the funds is currently not large. In addition, Yuan Tianfan's investment strategy is also relatively conservative. After all, it is depositors' funds, and he is afraid that a large loss will affect the bank itself.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for your trust. I will not let you down and I will definitely achieve results."

Yuan Tianfan couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this. He had more operational funds so that he could perform more and let his boss see his ability and give him more responsibilities.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Lin Baicheng had a smile on his face. The more talents, the better.

Ten minutes later, Yuan Tianfan said goodbye and left Hutchison Whampoa for Galaxy Bank.

After dinner that night, Lin Baicheng called some of his closest bodyguards to the study.

Four men and two women, two Chinese and four white, namely Chen Yaoxian, Lei Rong, Cliff Cooper, Brian Owen, Ernie Bright and Orika Sandra Maliuk.

Among them, Lei Rong retired from the Xiangjiang Flying Tigers and was one of Lin Baicheng's two bodyguard captains in Xiangjiang. The other one was of course Chen Yaoxian.

Lin Baicheng looked at the six people standing in a straight line and said: "You are not only my personal bodyguards, but also help me manage the bodyguard team, so I trust you the most, and I give you the highest treatment. So, what do you tell me? Me, can I trust you?"

"Yes!" "YES SIR!" "YES BOSS!".

The bodyguards answered in unison. Although they didn't know why their boss suddenly asked this, they didn't want to lose their jobs and knew how to answer.

"very good!"

Lin Baicheng didn't know whether the answers given by Chen Yaoxian and others were true or false, but he could only trust Chen Yaoxian and the others for this matter. After all, they had been serving him for several years, and it was even more difficult for him to trust new people.

"I plan to set up a security company, which is mainly divided into two forms: mercenaries and bodyguards. Among them, mercenaries must be able to fight in regional wars and dare to fight; bodyguards, as the name suggests, specialize in security work and serve me and the people around me. bodyguard."

Lin Baicheng's words shocked several bodyguards. There were actually mercenaries who could fight. This was different from mere bodyguards.

"Can you recruit veterans who dare to fight and fight?"

"BOSS, as long as the benefits are high enough, it's not difficult to recruit people."

Cliff Cooper immediately said that he knew very well that as long as the benefits and benefits were good enough, he could quickly build a team.

"What do you think I should do better?"

Lin Baicheng asked aloud. Although he had some ideas, he had never been a soldier after all, so he was afraid that there would be any omissions.

Brian Owen said: "BOSS, first of all you have to find a suitable venue as the team's base and prepare weapons for the mercenaries. In addition, there are intelligence collection, training, logistics, etc., but it is relatively The first two points are more important, especially the search for a base."

"Any suggestions?"

"If possible, BOSS, you'd better buy an uninhabited island large enough to use as your base. If you don't urgently need a group of mercenaries as your subordinates, it's best to take your time and don't recruit too many people at the beginning. , while training and expanding at the same time.”

"Good suggestion, but although I don't need mercenaries urgently, I hope to get them as soon as possible."

"Sir, I don't know how many people you want to recruit, but I want to remind you that the cost of raising an army of mercenaries is very high, including weapons, wages, logistics, additional expenses during operations, etc. The more people you have, the more expensive it will be. Big." Chen Yaoxian reminded.

"You don't have to worry about money."

Waving his hands, Lin Baicheng said to Brian Owen and Chen Yaoxian: "You two are responsible for selecting an uninhabited island with the best geographical location, designing an attractive treatment and welfare package, and starting to contact those who meet the conditions. personnel, list the weapons needed, and give me a rough budget, are there any questions?”

"No problem!" "YES!"

How could Chen Yaoxian and Brian Owen refuse?

Orikasandra Maliuk suddenly said at this moment: "BOSS, I know some people who can buy better equipment for you, and the price will never be too high."

Brian Owen couldn't help but frown slightly. Purchasing weapons was a major expense. He originally thought he could get some extra income through this, but he didn't expect someone to disrupt the situation. It's not that he wants to be greedy for Lin Baicheng's money, but buying weapons in large quantities will definitely get some kickbacks from the sellers. He had heard many similar things before he retired from the army.

"Really? Then you will be responsible for the purchase of weapons, but it must be approved by Yaoxian and Irving."

Lin Baicheng will not refuse the offer, but only if there is no problem with the equipment.

"no problem!"

Orikasandra Maliuk nodded in response.

"Lei Rong, please help Yaoxian and the others handle this matter. Remember to keep it confidential. I don't want too many people to know about this matter."

Lin Baicheng warned, but he didn't have high hopes for everyone's confidentiality. Fortunately, he just set up a mercenary force. It must have some influence. After all, it is an armed force. But as long as he doesn't mess around, I believe there won't be any big problems.

The reason why Lin Baicheng wants to control a group of mercenaries is because as his wealth increases, he always has an inexplicable worry in his heart, worrying that one day he will suddenly 'disappear', so he will not only strengthen the bodyguards around him numbers, and also hope to control a team that can go to the battlefield.

After a conversation at night, Lin Baicheng discovered one thing, that is, the US$100 million he originally prepared for the security company was simply not enough. Although I don’t know how much an uninhabited island costs, USD 100 million is not enough for equipment purchase, personnel salaries, etc.

But money is not a problem. Whether Lin Baicheng withdraws some of the 400 million US dollars that he will invest in the mobile phone industry, or goes to the bank for a loan, he can always come up with hundreds of millions of US dollars.

If Lin Baicheng's gold futures long position is eliminated next year, he will earn at least several billion dollars in income, which will completely enable him to have enough money in the short term.

It seems that the lack of security is also related to the fact that he will make billions of dollars next year. Although he thinks that the account is kept secret enough and has signed a confidentiality agreement with the relevant personnel, Lin Baicheng is still worried that this matter will be exposed, and then someone will be interested in him. money.

With a gun in hand, you will naturally not feel insecure.

Lin Baicheng didn't know if it would be useful to set up a security company and control a team of mercenaries, but at least it would give him peace of mind. This alone was enough. What's more, not to mention that the security company can cultivate more excellent bodyguards, if there is a mercenary force, it will definitely be useful.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Baicheng is not short of money. Even if he established a mercenary force, it has never been used, and the expenses are completely within his affordability.

In the next few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Baicheng traveled around multiple companies to distribute benefits to employees.

During this period, Lin Baicheng also met with Mr. Huang Lisong, the president of Xiangjiang University. Huang Lisong is also well-known in Hong Kong, especially in the cultural circles. He is the first Chinese president of Xiangjiang University and has previously served as president of many universities in Southeast Asia.

Lin Baicheng wanted to build a school, so of course he had to find professionals to do it. He couldn't build the school himself. His age was the biggest limitation, not to mention he didn't know how to do it.

Of course, Lin Baicheng did not come to poach Huang Lisong to become the principal of his school. He still knew this. Xiangjiang University was the best university in Hong Kong, but his university was still under preparation. Lin Baicheng did not think that Huang Lisong was willing to give up Xiangjiang University. As the principal, he chose to work for him.

Of course, after the two met, Lin Baicheng still sent an invitation to Huang Lisong just in case, but was rejected unsurprisingly.

Lin Baicheng was not disappointed, but got down to business. He told Huang Lisong that he wanted to build a university, asked Huang Lisong for help, and asked Huang Lisong to help him find a suitable president.

Lin Baicheng is the richest man in Hong Kong and a well-known figure in the business world. Huang Lisong is willing to make him a friend. What's more, Lin Baicheng is willing to donate 1 million Hong Kong dollars to Hong Kong University for this purpose, so he has no reason to refuse.

Huang Lisong agreed to help, but he needed time to consider suitable candidates and would contact Lin Baicheng after he found the right candidate.

Lin Baicheng expressed his gratitude.

Before finding a suitable principal, Lin Baicheng had to buy a piece of land and build the school. The school is no different than others. There is basically no possibility of acquisition. It is possible to acquire a certain proportion of shares. Usually no major shareholder is willing to give up control of a university.

Lin Baicheng left the matter of finding suitable land to Qin Lan. After finding the land, he would communicate with the Hong Kong government and start building the school after buying the land. When the school is completed, it should be in the second half of next year.

Logically speaking, the school has not yet been completed, so we should not be in a hurry to find the principal. But this is not the case. Teachers need to be contacted in advance, and equipment, books, etc. need to be booked and purchased in advance. All of these things need to be done by people, and the school principal is the most suitable person to do these things.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Yaoxian and others handed Lin Baicheng a planning and budget list. Not counting the cost of purchasing uninhabited islands, when only 100 veterans are recruited at the beginning, plus the expenditure on about 20 logistics personnel, weapons and equipment and other supplies, the first-year budget is US$20 million. about.

The increase in the number of people will increase the cost. The more mercenaries and bodyguards need to be trained, the more logistics personnel will be allocated, and the cost will naturally be higher.
