Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

weekend.

Lin Baicheng, who was still in New York, was planning to go out with Haruko Mouri on Saturday, but Jean Carter suddenly contacted him last night and said he wanted to treat him to dinner because he brought William Gates to see him without authorization last time. Apologize.

Lin Baicheng couldn't refuse, otherwise it would appear that he had a problem with Jean Carter and kept this in mind, so he took Maori Haruko with him as his female companion.

Jean Carter held a barbecue party. After Lin Baicheng went there, he discovered that many dignitaries from the Elephant Party had come, but Vice President Reagan did not come. But this is normal. The vice president does not have that much time and is very busy.

Especially the vice president who wants to run for president will be even busier. He not only has to please voters, but also has to establish good relations with capitalists.

The dignitaries of the Elephant Party who came to the party tonight included New York State congressmen, celebrities in the legal field, and even congressmen. Some of them Lin Baicheng knew and had met several times, while some Lin Baicheng had never met before.

Although Lin Baicheng knew many senior officials of the Xiang Party, there were still some senior officials of the Xiang Party that he did not know. This is normal. After all, the Elephant Party has a lot of senior leaders, and he is not a big capitalist in the United States. It is normal that he does not know all the senior leaders of the Elephant Party.

But after this time, Lin Baicheng got to know these senior Xiang Party officials who met for the first time and became verbal friends.

The senior leaders of the Xiang Party have power, and Lin Baicheng is a big capitalist and rich. They are both willing to get to know each other, so the relationship will naturally be quick.

Of course, both Lin Baicheng and the other party knew that the relationship between them was just superficial friends and they were just using each other.

At the party, Jean Carter specially introduced Lin Baicheng to a New York businessman, a real estate developer, saying that this real estate developer was very powerful and hoped that Lin Baicheng could cooperate more with this real estate developer for mutual benefit.

Speaking of New York real estate developers, the first thing Lin Baicheng thought of was that the future president would be very unreliable. The other party was a New York real estate developer, President Wang, who thought that no one understood anything as well as he did.

Lin Baicheng knew that the real estate developer introduced by Jean Carter was not the President Wang who knew Mr. Wang decades later, because their names were different. This person was called Doron Fernand, a real estate developer who was already in his fifties. .

No matter what he thought in his heart, Lin Baicheng said on the surface that he would find Doron Fernand if there was cooperation, which was a favor to Jean Carter.

At around eight o'clock, Lin Baicheng took Maori Haruko to say goodbye and left in the extended Lincoln.

In the car, Lin Baicheng said to Maori Haruko who was sitting next to him: "Haruko, what do you think about Jean Carter introducing Doron Fernand, a real estate developer, to me?"

Maori Haruko said: "I think either he received money from Doron Fernan, or he directly or indirectly held shares in Doron Fernan Real Estate Company, so he introduced people to Chengjun I know you, Cheng-kun, and I hope you can cooperate with Mr. Fernand."

"Exactly what I thought."

Lin Baicheng nodded in agreement. He was not stupid, so he couldn't see Jean Carter's intentions.

Maori Haruko said: "Later, when you left, Cheng-kun, I had a chat with Mr. Fernand, and he mentioned that his company has business in big cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, and focused on Los Angeles. I think it should be It’s related to the fact that Galaxy Games is planning to build a branch building in Los Angeles.”

"Since Los Angeles was mentioned specifically, that could only be the reason."

Lin Baicheng nodded. Currently, the only real estate-related business he has in Los Angeles is that Galaxy Games is planning to build a branch building. Galaxy Games plans to build its own building according to the company's plan and does not plan to purchase an existing building.

Maori Haruko asked aloud: "Makoto-kun, what are you going to do?"

"Since Carter introduced it, let's give him a chance. Then let Fernand participate in the bidding, and then investigate Fernand's company. If there are no problems, we will follow the normal procedures."

Lin Baicheng said nonchalantly, as long as the other party's company has no problems and the bidding conditions are the best, then it is perfectly fine to hand over the project to Fernand, and it will be regarded as a favor to Jean Carter and other senior officials of the Elephant Party.

"What about Ms. Anna Nord, Mr. Smith's fiancée?"

Maori Haruko has not forgotten the Nord family where Anna Nord belongs. The key is that Lin Baicheng and Phil Smith have a good relationship, and the two parties have a lot of cooperation.

Lin Baicheng said: "The same thing is to give the Nord family a chance, and then we choose the company that is most beneficial to Galaxy Games, so that we won't offend anyone. Besides, I gave them the opportunity, without me Afraid of offending them."

Maori Haruko said matter-of-factly: "This is natural. Even if you reject them directly, Cheng-kun, you don't have to worry about offending them. Cheng-kun, you have the capital."

"That's the truth."

Lin Baicheng quite agrees with this. He will not offend people for no reason, but this does not mean that he is afraid of offending people. If nothing else, take Jean Carter as an example. It is true that Lin Baicheng does not want to offend the other party, but this does not mean that he is afraid of Jean Carter. He can still afford to offend Jean Carter alone.

The next day was Sunday, and Lin Baicheng took Maori Haruko to play. The two of them didn't go far, they just visited New York.

…

Hong Kong.

As the chief executive of Hong Kong Electric Group, Levis manages the company and has a high social status in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Electric Group has a market capitalization of HK$7 billion. It is already considered a large company in Hong Kong. Its market capitalization ranks among the top ten listed companies in Hong Kong.

Although the Hong Kong Electric Group is not an asset of Levi's, and he does not even have any shares in the Hong Kong Electric Group so far, he is the head of the Hong Kong Electric Group and can use the resources of the Hong Kong Electric Group. Therefore, he has more powerful connections than a multi-millionaire. If you are strong, your social status will naturally be quite high.

He is actually the same as Hutchison Whampoa's Wei Li, except that Hutchison Whampoa's market value is higher, now as high as more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, so Wei Li's social status is much higher than Levi's.

As the chief executive of HK Electric Group, Levi is even more satisfied that the big boss, Lin Baicheng, does not interfere with the specific affairs of HK Electric Group. Therefore, he has great power in HK Electric Group and is not a puppet chief executive.

Levis is a British man whose original name was Levis, but he changed it to Lee for convenience.

As a British person, Levis certainly has many British friends in Xiangjiang, and those who are friends with him are not ordinary people.

On Monday, HSBC’s head coach Shen Zou asked Levi’s to have afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel, and Levi’s certainly wouldn’t refuse. He knew Shen Chow, and they had dealt with each other. Although they were not close friends, Hong Kong Electric Group and HSBC had business relationships, and both of them were successful professional managers, so they still had some friendship. of.

Although the time for afternoon tea is in the afternoon and it is working time, it is still no problem for Levi to take time to meet Shen Porridge for afternoon tea.

However, to Levi's surprise, the waiter took him to a private room on the upper floor. This kind of place was more secretive and could not be seen by people on the side like the hall below.

"Chairman Swire! Chairman Caesar! Chairman Ma Chang! Mr. Kadoorie!"

What surprised Levi was that besides Shen Zhou, there were four other people in the private room, and these four people were not ordinary people.

"Reeves, please sit down here."

Shen Porridge said hello, and although Levi was a little confused at this time, he knew that this meeting would definitely not be simple. And since you are here, you must go there so that you can know what is going on.

Levis directly asked his doubts: "Shen Porridge, what on earth is going on?"

Shi Yadi Shihuaiya said aloud: "Teacher Reeves, the reason why we came here together is because we have something to ask you for help."

"Can I help you with something?"

Levi's was even more puzzled. He shook his head and said, "Don't be joking. Some of you include HSBC, the largest bank in Hong Kong, and the most powerful British-owned family in Hong Kong. You are very powerful. How can I help you?" "

Henry Kasik said: "We are not joking. We really have something to ask for your help, and you can also help us with this matter."

John Ma Cheng followed: "As long as you help us, we can't do without your benefits."

"Shen Porridge, you'd better tell me what's going on."

Levis looked directly at Shen Porridge after hearing this. He knew that things would never be simple, so it was impossible for him to agree directly.

Shen Porridge shook his head and said to Levis: "Levis, this matter has nothing to do with us at HSBC. I was just entrusted by the four of them to act as an intermediary to invite you out. You can discuss the specific matters."

HSBC wanted to hide, did not want to be exposed, did not want to be openly hostile to Lin Baicheng, and did not want to lose business related to Lin Baicheng. Therefore, HSBC had already paid the price, so Shi Yadi and Shi Huaiya did not expose Shen Zhou.

"Let's just spread it out and talk about it. There's no need to hide it."

Michael Kadoorie said in a deep voice: "Master Reeves, the four of us have jointly established a company to acquire shares in the Hong Kong Electric Group in the name of this company. Now we have acquired a lot of shares. It is the Hong Kong Electric Group." ’s major shareholder, so we need your help and hope you can be on our side.”

So far, British capital has acquired more than 30% of the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group. All the shares held by other large and small shareholders have been acquired by them. The remaining shares are all traded in the stock market and in the hands of retail investors.

Next, if British capital wants to acquire shares of Hong Kong Electric Group, it will be difficult to acquire 10% of the shares in a surprise attack. It is no problem to acquire slowly, but it will also attract the attention of Hong Kong Electric Group.

Therefore, whether it is to gain the support of the management or to hide their acquisition of HK Electric Group shares from the stock market, they need the help of the management of HK Electric Group, so what they need to do now is to win over the people of HK Electric Group. management.

"You want to fight for control of Hong Kong Electric Group?!"

Levi's was shocked when he heard this. Little did he know that the ultimate goal of these four people was to take control of the Hong Kong Electric Group and wrest control of the Hong Kong Electric Group from Lin Baicheng's hands.

"good!"

There is nothing to hide, anyone who is not stupid can guess it.

Shi Yadi Shihuai Ya said: "Master Reeves, Hong Kong Electric Group was originally under the control of our British capital. Later, Lin Baicheng secretly acquired a large number of shares, and then took the control away from our British capital. Now we are just It's just to take control back from Lin Baicheng. We are all British, you should help us."

Henry Kaiser solemnly said: "With the strength of our family, as long as you help us, we will not treat you badly."

John Ma said: "We will continue to appoint you as the chief executive of Hong Kong Electric Group, so you have nothing to lose."

Michael Kadoorie added: "In addition to you, we also need to communicate with the other management of Hong Kong Electric Group to get them to support us. With the strength of our several companies, it is no problem to win over a few people."

Levis did not immediately express his opinion after hearing this, but thought silently.

Seeing this, Shi Yadi and Shi Huaiya stopped speaking. What should be said has been said. Before Levi's makes a decision, there is no point in saying more.

After a moment, Levis shook his head and said: "Guys, I'm sorry. Mr. Lin is very good to me. I will not betray him."

Levis has considered that even if he helps the British capital gain control of the Hong Kong Electric Group, it is basically impossible for his salary to be improved. Even if there is an improvement, it will be limited. However, after the British capital obtains control of the Hong Kong Electric Group, he will definitely strengthen his treatment. Under the management of Hong Kong Electric Group, the power of his boss will be greatly restricted and weakened, and it will be far less powerful than it is now.

The British capital may be able to compensate him elsewhere, but unless the British capital can give him huge benefits that he cannot refuse, Levi's is more willing to choose rights. The rights to manage the Hong Kong Electric Group are not comparable to some benefits.

"Reeves, please think about it again. We will attack together. If you can refuse us, others may not be able to, so the possibility of our victory is not small."

Shi Yadi Shihuaiya reminded aloud that there were some words he did not say, but everyone understood. If Levi's refuses to help now, then after they succeed, Levi's will definitely be liquidated, and Levi's will be waiting to get out of the Hong Kong Electric Group.

"Guys, I still mean that. I will not betray Mr. Lin. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Levi stood up as he spoke. He was not worried about what would happen to Lin Baicheng after he lost control of the Hong Kong Electric Group. As long as he reported the news to Lin Baicheng, Lin Baicheng would definitely value and trust him more, even if the Hong Kong Electric Group no longer had him. position, he can also work in other industries under Lin Baicheng's name.

Seeing that Levi's was about to leave, Shi Yadi and Shi Huaiya couldn't help but look at Shen Chou. They hoped that Shen Chou could say something to help and express HSBC's position. Unfortunately, Shen Chou didn't want to be openly hostile to Lin Baicheng now, so he said Don't say anything and let Levis leave.
