Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Although he failed to convince Mikhail Kogan, Lin Baicheng still asked Rimorori to maintain contact with Taitong.

It is true that Mikhail Kogan does not want to fully cooperate with Xingyue Electronics now, but it does not mean that Mikhail Kogan’s mind will not change.

Furthermore, Taitung is, after all, the leader of the Japanese video game industry. Atari may come to cooperate with Taitung at some point. If Xingyue Electronics keeps in touch with Taitung, they may be able to know as soon as possible. Related Information.

Although Atari does not pay attention to Xingyue Electronics now, the two companies will become competitors sooner or later, and Atari can never go wrong in taking precautions.

If Atari reaches a cooperation with Taidong, it will be even more powerful and stronger, which will not be beneficial to Xingyue Electronics.

Higurashi Rison expressed his understanding of Lin Baicheng's instructions and would do a good job in the relevant work.

In the evening, Iwasaki Akemi contacted Lin Baicheng and asked Lin Baicheng to have dinner together.

Lin Baicheng had no idea of ​​marrying into the Iwasaki family, so he did not take the initiative to contact Iwasaki Akemi after coming to Japan. However, now that Iwasaki Akemi took the initiative to contact him, it was naturally difficult for him to refuse.

Iwasaki Akemi can be said to be a direct descendant of the Iwasaki family. Of course, Lin Baicheng cannot treat her like an ordinary girl, but as long as he keeps a distance from her, he believes that the other party will understand what he means.

Lin Baicheng is not so narcissistic that Iwasaki Akemi fell in love with him at first sight and had to marry him.

Lin Baicheng is still very self-aware. Once he shows his attitude, the other party will definitely not pester him. It would be good if the two of them can remain friends.

In the private room of a relatively private Japanese restaurant, there were only two people, Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Akemi.

Of course Lin Baicheng brought bodyguards here, but the bodyguards were guarding outside and were definitely not suitable to stay in the box.

The two of them chatted while eating, talking about some of their own things.

"Lin Jun, I will be a junior in college next year. I will start social practice by then. I intend to start my own business. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Starting a business? It's indeed a good choice."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly. With Iwasaki Akemi's conditions, starting a business was not a problem for her at all. Regardless of whether the business succeeded or failed, it was a rare experience for her.

Of course, as long as you are a normal person, you want your business to be successful, and no one wants to be the mother of success.

"Miss Mingmei, you want me to give you advice. To be honest, it's really embarrassing for me."

"Jun Lin, you have built such a big business in just a few years. I admire your vision."

Iwasaki Akemi immediately said sincerely that although Lin Baicheng would definitely not be what Lin Baicheng said, Lin Baicheng's suggestions could be used as a reference for her.

"Miss Mingmei, if you know about my industry in Japan, you should know that I am more optimistic about real estate and comics. I don't know much about other industries."

"The policies and development directions of each country are different. I don't know much about Japan, so naturally I can't give you more suggestions, Miss Mingmei."

Lin Baicheng doesn't want to say too much. In fact, with Iwasaki Akemi's resources, as long as it is not a sunset industry, the possibility of entrepreneurial failure is extremely small, and the certainty of success is quite high.

Of course, the possibility of success is high, but this does not mean that Akemi Iwasaki can easily develop this startup.

No matter which industry you are in, as long as you can make money, there must be conflicts of interest. If she really blocks other people's wealth or harms other people's interests, it will be useless even if it is the Iwasaki family's face, they will definitely get involved with her.

"I don't care about the real estate industry. It's not suitable for me. But I can consider the comics industry."

Iwasaki Akemi shook her head slightly after hearing this. She still had a strong understanding of herself and knew that the real estate industry was not suitable for her as a new entrepreneur.

Lin Baicheng thought for a moment and said, "In fact, given your situation, Miss Mingmei, you can start a business in an emerging industry."

"A new industry?"

Iwasaki Akemi nodded slightly. Emerging industries are good. There are no vested interests among the established companies. At the same time, they can have more knowledge about new industries.

However, there are good things and bad things. Since it is an emerging industry, the future prospects are unclear. No one can guarantee that the track they enter will have a bright future.

If you really want to talk about it, the game console industry is also an emerging industry. People are still not sure whether the game console industry is just a flash in the pan or whether it has great potential.

No longer talking about her own business, Iwasaki Akemi smiled and said: "Lin Jun, I heard from my cousin that you don't do gold futures now? He is very sorry."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "Well, I'm a little unsure about the trend of international gold prices now, so I don't dare to blindly enter the market. I'm going to take a look before talking."

"There are too few people like you, Mr. Lin, who can stop after making a profit. Although many people can also make big profits in investment, few can stop in time. In the end, they will lose as much as they make, even the principal." I lost everything, so I really admire you, Mr. Lin."

Iwasaki Akemi said with admiration that people who are used to making quick money often find it difficult to endure it, and those who can do it are almost all successful people.

Lin Baicheng smiled and shook his head: "I'm not as good as Miss Mingmei as you said. If I was sure, I would still invest. Maybe I would lose money. I just don't have the chance at the moment."

“Who wouldn’t want to make more money if they were sure?”

Iwasaki Akemi thought it was normal.

Dinner time passed slowly as Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Akemi chatted.

After the meal, Iwasaki Akemi invited Lin Baicheng to go shopping in Ginza, but Lin Baicheng declined.

This is the attitude that Lin Baicheng wants to show. He should not be too close to Iwasaki Akemi, lest he really falls in love with her.

After all, Iwasaki Akemi was a great beauty, and Lin Baicheng couldn't guarantee whether he would fall in love with her after getting along with her for a long time.

If Iwasaki Akemi was just a girl from an ordinary family, even if Lin Baicheng had some super-friendship things with her, it would be fine if he didn't marry her in the end, and it would be easier to settle things.

But Akemi Iwasaki is the legitimate daughter of the Iwasaki family. If Lin Baicheng really took advantage and refused to admit it, he would be offending the Iwasaki family, which would definitely have a huge negative impact on his industry in Japan.

Therefore, since you are not planning to marry Iwasaki Akemi, then don't think about taking advantage of Iwasaki Akemi. It is better for both parties to keep a distance.

Lin Baicheng declined, but Iwasaki Akemi naturally wouldn't insist. She also wanted to save face, so the two of them went back separately.

Lin Baicheng did not go to Yamaguchi Momoe, but went to Matsuda Seiko's place. He wanted to come here to accompany her tonight, so that he could catch the rain and dew.

"Cheng-kun, how many days are you going to stay here this time?"

Seiko Matsuda asked Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng said: "I won't stay long, I will go back to Xiangjiang tomorrow."

"Going back so soon? Can't you stay a few more days?"

Matsuda Seiko pouted. She hoped that Lin Baicheng could stay for a few more days, so that she could spend more time with Lin Baicheng.

"No way, I still have a lot of work to do in Xiangjiang."

Lin Baicheng comforted him: "The distance between Xiangjiang and Tokyo is not too far. I will come over to see you when I have time. Holy Son, if you are free, you can also go to Xiangjiang to see me like last time. I am very welcome You went."

"Okay, then Cheng-kun, you have to come here often."

Seiko Matsuda knew that he could not force Lin Baicheng, so he did not make trouble unreasonably.

"I try my best."

Lin Baicheng nodded in agreement.

The next day, because he knew that Lin Baicheng was going back to Xiangjiang today, Matsuda Seiko specially stopped studying and set aside time to accompany Lin Baicheng.

That afternoon, Lin Baicheng took a private plane and flew back to Xiangjiang.

When the plane landed at Xiangjiang Airport, Lin Baicheng thought of one thing, that is, he could acquire the airline.

With the opening up of the mainland, Hong Kong's economy is getting better and better, and airlines are definitely making a profit without losing money.

Furthermore, airlines are transportation. Controlling airlines can increase Lin Baicheng's influence.

It can be said that Lin Baicheng has no understanding of the current airlines in Hong Kong. Neither he nor his predecessor knew anything about the airlines before his rebirth.

However, one thing Lin Baicheng can be sure of is that if there are no accidents, the airline should be under the control of British capital, possibly a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson, Swire Group or Wheelock.

In other words, if you want to acquire an airline, you have to deal with British capital. It is not easy to acquire it.

However, the acquisition of the airline was Lin Baicheng's last-minute idea. He was not planning to acquire the relevant companies right away. It would be fine in a few years.

Therefore, when he went to work on Monday the next day, Lin Baicheng just asked Qin Lan to investigate the situation of the airline.

On Monday, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price rose nearly 4 points as soon as the market opened, and the stock price was close to 90 Hong Kong dollars.

The sudden surge in Hutchison Whampoa's stock price has nothing to do with Hutchison Whampoa itself. The company did not release any good news.

The reason for the sharp rise is that over the weekend, the land auction held by the Hong Kong government set a higher auction price.

To put it simply, as land prices rise, the stock prices of all real estate-related listed companies also rise.

Real estate has always been an important pillar industry of Hutchison Whampoa. Even the retail industry has some relationship with real estate. Supermarkets themselves are real estate.

Because of this, even with Hutchison Whampoa's current market value of more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, the stock price has benefited from this and has risen by more than 4 points.

There are still many benefits to Hutchison Whampoa's rising share price.

Not to mention anything else, HSBC is currently responsible for the issuance of additional shares. The higher the current share price of Hutchison Whampoa, the higher the benefits people will get from subscribing for shares at HK$75. So people who are tempted to subscribe for shares will naturally There will be more.

It's mid-November now, and we're about to enter 1980 in just over a month.

Lin Baicheng guessed that the good days of Xiangjiang's real estate industry would only last a year or two at most.

Negotiations between China and the UK on the ownership of Hong Kong will start in a year or two at most. Lin Baicheng can't remember the specific date of Thatcher's visit to China, but he remembers that it was 1982.

Before Thatcher's visit to China, relevant news will definitely appear on the market, and the Xiangjiang real estate industry will definitely collapse due to the negotiations between the two countries.

Therefore, in 1981, the Xiangjiang real estate industry might be affected, and in 1982, it would definitely collapse.

Before that, Lin Baicheng had to do two things, that is, reduce his holdings of Hutchison Whampoa shares, and sell the real estate held by Hutchison Whampoa in a timely manner.

Then wait for the local industry to collapse before engaging in bargain hunting.

Lin Baicheng bought the shares of Hutchison Whampoa at the bottom, and Hutchison Whampoa bought the real estate at the bottom.

In the morning, Lin Baicheng went to work at Hutchison Whampoa.

Wei Li specially went to Lin Baicheng's office to report on his work. After working after the report, he asked one thing.

Hutchison Whampoa's real estate industry was preparing to expand to Japan, so it needed a leader. Wei Li asked Lin Baicheng who would be more appropriate to send.

"I attach great importance to the company's expansion in Japan, so I want to send a vice president to take charge of the work. What do you think, Wei Li?"

Lin Baicheng asked Wei Li for his opinion.

"Mr. Lin, would it be overkill to send the vice president here?"

Wei Li couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this: "The company has to start from scratch in Japan, and sending a vice president there will feel like a distribution. I think it's enough to send a department manager."

"Sending a vice president is a bit unfair to him, but sending a vice president over can let the people below know that I value him. I will compensate the vice president sent here in terms of treatment, increase his salary, and increase his equity incentives to a higher level. "

This time is a good opportunity to transfer one of Wei Peter and Xia Boyin from the headquarters, and then promote the Chinese executives who have joined him to strengthen his control over Hutchison Whampoa.

All this time, Lin Baicheng has not touched the senior executives at the vice president level. Cheng Yufeng was able to take over because the person he replaced committed suicide and resigned. He arranged for his people to take over. Wei Li and other management couldn't say anything. So I feel in crisis.

If he transfers management arbitrarily and forcefully, everyone else will definitely be in danger, which will affect the company's management, so Lin Baicheng has not made any big moves.

When Asia Star Media Group was established, Lin Baicheng actually wanted to transfer one of Wei Peter and Xia Boyin, but unfortunately they were unwilling, so Lin Baicheng had no choice but to force it.

This time was different. Lin Baicheng had a valid reason. Wei Peter and Xia Boyin could not refuse unless they no longer wanted to stay at Hutchison Whampoa.

And if they resign voluntarily, then Lin Baicheng's goal can be achieved, and he will have no loss.

"If there is compensation, I don't think the people who were sent there will have any objections."

Wei Li noticed Lin Baicheng's tough attitude on this matter. Of course, he couldn't stand up to it, so he agreed.

Lin Baicheng asked: "Wei Li, do you think it is better to send Peter Wei or Xia Boyin?"

"With the abilities of the two of them, I can send whoever I want. It mainly depends on your thoughts, Mr. Lin, and their own wishes."

Wei Li didn't want to offend anyone, so he didn't give a specific candidate.

"Then I'll ask them what they think later."

Lin Baicheng did not force Wei Li, he was going to ask Wei Peter and Xia Boyin for their opinions.

It would be best if one of the two of them was willing to take the initiative to go. If neither of them wanted to go, then he would have to forcefully divide the situation.
