Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

"If I wasn't investing with you, Mr. Lin, I wouldn't be sure."

Iwasaki Mineryu said this sincerely. He had made several futures investments alone, but each time he suffered losses. He was not a fool, so he didn't know that he was not the right person.

Although I now know that Lin Baicheng wants to go long on gold futures, the problem is that I have to choose the right time to buy and sell, otherwise my original profit may turn into a loss, and even if it goes wrong, I will make a lot less.

Therefore, if Iwasaki Mineryu is allowed to invest in gold futures by himself, his confidence is really not very high.

In the final analysis, it was because Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Mineryu made so much money from gold futures that Iwasaki Mineryu could not forget and give up, and still wanted to make money from this market.

"all the same."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand after hearing this. I didn't feel proud of Iwasaki Mineryu's praise.

After looking at the others, Lin Baicheng said: "There is no need to make a decision now. There will be no trading in the market for the next few days, so everyone has enough time to think about it. However, in order to leave enough time for capital turnover, it is best for everyone to Give me an answer the day after tomorrow, and I’ll have two days in between for everyone to think about it.”

"Two days is enough."

Although he already had a plan in mind, Bao Yugang did not say it out immediately to avoid affecting others.

Huo Yingdong also said: "We will take some time to have afternoon tea together the day after tomorrow. Then everyone will share their thoughts and discuss the details."

"fair enough."

Guo Henian had no objection.

Zheng Yudong, Hu Yinxiang and Li Zhaoji also said that there was no problem and they would be given two days to consider it fully. Of course they would not object.

Lin Baicheng immediately said: "We will discuss the partnership investment the day after tomorrow, let's not talk about it now."

Everyone also thought the same thing, so everyone started talking about other things.

After chatting for a while, Li Zhaoji said to Lin Baicheng: "Lin Sheng, do you have any development plans for the land over Kwun Tong?"

"Li Sheng is referring to the land near Galaxy Games Company?"

Lin Baicheng knew immediately which land Li Zhaoji was talking about, because he only had a large piece of land near Galaxy Games Company in Kwun Tong.

The land near Galaxy Game Company was later purchased by Lin Baicheng. The reason why he did not develop it was because as the number of employees in Galaxy Game Company's factory increased, the surrounding land had a higher development value, and this kind of creation created by his own company Of course, the profits gained cannot be made by others.

"Yes, it's over there."

Li Zhaoji nodded and said: "To be honest with you, Lin Sheng, with the expansion of Galaxy Game Company's factory, I found that the land there has higher development value, so I bought some land in advance and waited to make a fortune after development. .”

Li Zhaoji was not too greedy. Not only did he not buy all the land near Galaxy Games Company, he didn't even buy much, because he knew very well that the reason why the land over there has higher development value is because of the Galaxy Games Factory Those employees are there. Without the factory, the land will naturally be worthless.

If Li Zhaoji buys all the nearby land and Galaxy Games moves the factory, then all the land will be in his hands. Not only will he not be able to make money, but he will also lose a lot. A wise man will not take it.

"Li Sheng has good eyesight."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but praise him. Of course he knew that part of the land near the factory had been bought by someone, but the other party didn't buy a lot, so he didn't check. Unexpectedly, it was bought by Li Zhaoji in advance. This shows that Li Zhaoji has a good vision. How nice.

"As for the land around the Galaxy Factory, I have no development plans in the short term. If nothing else happens, it should be developed in a few years."

The reason why it will take several years to develop is very simple. Now that the real estate industry is on the rise, development costs are relatively high. After the collapse of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang due to negotiations between China and Britain on the return of Xiangjiang, the cost will be much lower. .

Reduced costs equal increased profits.

"Is that so?"

Li Zhaoji was a little surprised when he heard this. The real estate industry is now on the rise. He originally thought that Lin Baicheng would take advantage of the opportunity to develop and make a fortune while the market was good. Unexpectedly, Lin Baicheng wanted to cover it up for a few more years, which was a bit unexpected.

"When Lin Sheng starts developing land, he hopes to bring me along with him to help him develop his land."

The land is adjacent, so it is best to develop it together. This way the design can form a better whole, and the value of the developed project will be higher.

"No problem. When the time comes, we will cooperate together and make money together."

Lin Baicheng agreed with a smile and did not refuse. Those lands were in Li Zhaoji's hands, and it would be beneficial to him to develop them together with the lands in his hands. He had no reason to refuse.

"The real estate industry in Xiangjiang is getting better and better now, and I can't help but want to join in and make money."

Guo Henian said with some envy that he was a Chinese capital in Malaysia. It was no problem to do business in Xiangjiang, but it was not that easy to enter the real estate industry.

Many Chinese tycoons in Xiangjiang are engaged in real estate. If Guo Henian enters the real estate industry to compete for food, it will indirectly damage the interests of the real estate tycoons. Everyone's friendship will definitely change, and there may even be competition, and his other businesses will be affected. The impact will be affected, and personal relationships will also be affected, which is a bit uneconomical.

The most important thing is that if you just enter this industry, it will not be so easy to make money if there is no one to guide you.

"There are many real estate developers in Xiangjiang now, and it is not easy to enter this industry."

Lin Baicheng said that if he hadn't acquired Hutchison Whampoa, it would not have been easy for him to enter the real estate industry.

Zheng Yudong said: "Real estate is quite profitable, but Guo Sheng, your hotel is also very profitable. As Hong Kong's economy gets better and better, and its international status becomes higher and higher, the business of high-end hotels is also getting better and better. "

"In fact, everyone's business is not bad."

This is the truth. The assets of those sitting here are all low, and their careers are in an upward stage. If there are problems with the company they are running, Lin Baicheng will not invite that person.

Everyone chatted until almost four o'clock, when the party ended and everyone went back.

At the end of the party, Wang Fang reported to Lin Baicheng that Chen Yaoxian and Brian Owen were back.

Chen Yaoxian and Brian Owen were not with Lin Baicheng during this period because they went to purchase an uninhabited island that could be used as a base for the security company. They followed a professional negotiation team to negotiate.

Lin Baicheng had told him not to go to the garden to disturb his chat with other people if it was not a very important or urgent matter, so Wang Fang only reported the matter to Lin Baicheng after the others left.

This was not an urgent matter, so Lin Baicheng did not blame Wang Fang, but called Chen Yaoxian and Brian Owen to the study room upstairs to talk.

"Did the negotiation on the private island go smoothly?"

Lin Baicheng asked directly what the final result would be.

Brian Owen immediately said: "BOSS, things are not going well. This is all our fault. We did not do a good job at the beginning."

Chen Yaoxian also said: "Sir, we have disappointed you."

"It's okay. Even if this negotiation doesn't go smoothly, we can still switch to another country."

Lin Baicheng was not too disappointed when he heard this. After all, he still had many choices, and everything could not go as he wished. It was normal to have failures. After all, he was not the omnipotent God.

"Tell me the specific reasons why the negotiations failed."

Failure is acceptable, but Lin Baicheng needs to know the specific reasons.

"BOSS, this is the situation."

Brian Owen said: "After we contacted the Solomon Islands officials, when they first learned that we were going to buy a private island, they were very welcoming. At that time, they even said that they could give a considerable discount on the price, as long as we could Make a certain amount of investment in a private island.”

The Solomon Islands is an island country located in the South Pacific, not far from Australia and Papua New Guinea. It has nearly a thousand islands in total and is one of the members of the Commonwealth of Nations.

"Then what?"

Lin Baicheng knew there must be a turning point.

This time it was Chen Yao who spoke first: "However, after we expressed the purpose of purchasing the private island, the Solomon Islands officials immediately rejected it. Even if we were willing to invest heavily in the Solomon Islands, the other party was not willing to transfer a private island as a training base for a security company. .”

"Later, we privately consulted with senior officials in the Solomon Islands, and then we found out the reason. It turns out that the Solomon Islands has no army. The country's armed forces only have a few hundred police officers, and they are supported by Australia, New Zealand and other countries."

"The Solomon Islands itself has no armed forces, but we want to build a mercenary training base there. There are still a lot of people. Naturally, it is impossible for the Solomon Islands officials to agree. No matter how good the conditions we offer, it will be useless."

This is like a smart and sensible child who will never invite a strange adult into his home. No one knows whether this adult will have malicious intentions.

"If that's the case, then it makes sense for the other party to refuse."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nod after hearing this. He had never thought of this before, so he didn't blame Chen Yaoxian, Brian Owen and others. He just regarded it as a lesson from inexperience.

"Since the Solomon Islands has refused, similar countries will probably be no exception. We have to continue to look for suitable training bases. You should spend more time and I will wait for your good news."

"BOSS, please rest assured, we will not disappoint you again this time."

Brian Irving immediately assured them that they had already made a mistake once, and it would be unjustifiable if they made another mistake.

Chen Yaoxian also said: "We will definitely find a suitable training base this time."

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news."

Lin Baicheng smiled. Fortunately, the security company's training base was not urgently decided, as long as it was not delayed for too long.

After leaving the study and going downstairs, Lin Baicheng saw Lin Qin watching TV and said hello casually, without much enthusiasm. The main reason was that the two had only met a while ago and they had not been separated for long.

"Brother, I'm back."

"Well, you should only be back for a few days this time."

"I'm going to Los Angeles after Christmas."

Lin Qin then added: "I'm not coming back alone this time. I'm coming back with Sister Lijun and Sister Qingxia."

"They are back too?"

Lin Baicheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then they should have returned to Wanbei by now, right?"

Lin Qin said: "Sister Qingxia has gone back, but Sister Lijun hasn't gone back yet. She said she would stay in Xiangjiang for a day or two."

"Then she must be here to meet her boyfriend."

Lin Baicheng immediately said that if nothing unexpected happened, Deng Lijun should stay in Xiangjiang for a longer time because of Guo Kongchen.

"That's it."

Lin Qin nodded. She knew that Deng Lijun and Guo Kongchen were boyfriend and girlfriend. She had met Guo Kongchen when he went to Los Angeles to find Deng Lijun.

In the evening, Lin Shufang brought Cheng Yufeng home for dinner. None of the Lin family, including Lin Baicheng, said anything about this. After all, the two were about to get engaged.

The next night, Lin Baicheng went to a charity sale organized by the Hong Kong government. This time he took Lin Qin with him, mainly to show Lin Qin's face.

For this charity sale, Lin Baicheng auctioned off the manuscript of the commemorative novel "Wind and Cloud Dominates the World" as items for the charity sale.

As a popular martial arts novel, the manuscript of "Wind and Cloud Dominates the World" itself has a certain value. What's more, the author of the novel is Lin Baicheng, the richest man in Hong Kong, so its value will only be higher.

Tonight's charity sale, among the invited guests are many celebrities and elites from the entertainment industry, not just wealthy businessmen.

Lin Baicheng even saw Huang Xizhao, Wu Siyuan and others from Asia Star Media Group. If he hadn't brought Lin Qin to chat with the Hong Kong Governor, those people would definitely say hello to him.

At the charity sale that night, the manuscript of Lin Baicheng's "The Storm" was the most popular. Many people actively bid for it, and the transaction price was as high as 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars, which is quite high. However, this is not the highest price tonight. The highest price is an antique offered by the Hong Kong government, with a transaction price of HK$5 million.

This price was paid by Lin Baicheng. In terms of the value of the antique itself, it was far too high.

Lin Baicheng was going to auction an item tonight, and the auction price was a charity donation. Originally, he was not prepared to pay such a high price. He could just pay two to three million Hong Kong dollars.

But there was nothing he could do. The original manuscript of the novel he was asked to take out was auctioned for 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the bidder was Chen Songqing. In order not to fall out of favor, he had no choice but to auction the antique at a higher price.

In this case, the highest price tonight is the antique purchased by Lin Baicheng, and the transaction price of the original manuscript of Lin Baicheng's novel will not have much influence.

Of course, these were Lin Baicheng's inner calculations. On the surface, he was still happy that the original manuscript of the novel was sold at a high price. He even had a few words with Chen Songqing afterwards, mainly to show it to others.

There was no way he could pretend to be deaf and dumb when someone else bought Lin Baicheng's charity items at a high price. He had to show his appreciation for the favor.
