Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Chapter 596 Claude Rockefeller (two in one)

Sunday night.

Phil Smith held a small party at home and did not invite too many people. Lin Baicheng was among the invitees.

Because he had time, Lin Baicheng went to a party hosted by Phil Smith that night and brought Demi Moore with him.

This party is not about celebrating anything, it is mainly about getting together and moving around to keep in touch with each other.

Lin Baicheng knew most of the people who came to the party tonight, except for a man in his thirties who he met for the first time.

"Alan, let me introduce you, this is Claude Rockefeller, my cousin."

Logan Rockefeller introduced Lin Baicheng.

"Hello, Mr. Crower!"

Lin Baicheng shook hands with the other party in surprise. He did not expect that this person was also a member of the Rockefeller family.

"Just call me Klauer."

Claure Rockefeller said happily: "I heard Logan tell you about your deeds, Mr. Allen. I really can't imagine that someone can make tens of billions of dollars in just over two years." His net worth in US dollars is unbelievable. I have always hoped to meet you, Mr. Allen, and this time I finally got my wish."

"Just call me Allen like Logan and the others."

Lin Baicheng said neither modestly nor complacently: "In addition to ability, there is also an element of luck, and luck is often more important."

"Ellen, your success cannot be summed up by the word luck."

Phil Smith disagrees with Lin Baicheng's statement. In his opinion, Lin Baicheng's success may be due to luck, but it is more about ability and keen vision.

Take long gold futures as an example. It has been successful every time. If it is said that it relies on luck, Phil Smith will not believe it.

Logan Rockefeller also said: "Smith is right, Allen, your success definitely depends on ability, not luck."

Claure Rockefeller said: "If you want to cooperate in the future, Allen, just come to me. I still have some energy in the United States, and funding is not a problem."

"If you are interested, Klauer, I do have a cooperation project here."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this. If the Rockefeller family joins the TV network, the resistance will be even lower. Even if the control of the TV network falls into the hands of the Rockefeller family, it won't matter. Anyway, it is impossible for him to control the top TV network in the United States. As long as he can retain a certain degree of influence, it is not given to anyone. It doesn't matter to him. Same, as long as the relationship between the other party and him is not bad.

"Eren, tell me."

Claude Rockefeller was a little surprised when he heard this, but he was very happy to cooperate with Lin Baicheng, who was very successful at a young age.

Phil Smith, Logan Rockefeller, Anna Nord and others couldn't help but listen. None of the projects Lin Baicheng proposed to cooperate with had suffered losses so far, and they certainly didn't want to let it go if they had the opportunity.

Lin Baicheng said: "I am planning to set up a TV network and have found a suitable candidate for president. However, I am a foreigner myself. I know that my status will inevitably restrict the development of the TV network, so I want to find capital from the United States. Cooperation, if you are interested in cooperation, Claure, Smith, and Logan, we can work together."

"Alan, you are really thoughtful."

Claure Rockefeller was a little surprised that Lin Baicheng was able to think so comprehensively, and he had to say that he was really capable. Logically speaking, Lin Baicheng has achieved so much at such a young age, so he should be very proud of himself, yet he is so thoughtful even when he doesn't want to do things.

Phil Smith couldn't help but said: "Alan, it's not easy to set up a TV network. There will be a lot of money invested in it."

Lin Baicheng said: "Just invest 100 million US dollars in the beginning. I can give Smith 20% of your share. If you think it is good, we can cooperate together. If the TV network develops later and lacks funds, everyone can inject more capital or You can also find capital from Wall Street.”

"Ellen, I need to think about this."

Phil Smith did not make a decision immediately. Although the investment was not large, hundreds of millions of dollars was not a small amount. More importantly, the US$100 million is an initial investment. As the TV network develops, there will definitely be additional capital, and the total investment will not be small.

Lin Baicheng was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "There is no rush to make a decision. The formation of the TV network will not start until three months later. If you are interested, just give me an answer before then."

Phil Smith said: "You don't need to think about it for three months. A few days are enough. I will tell you Allen after I have made a decision."

Phil Smith had said so, and Crowl, Logan and others had no choice but to think about it and give Lin Baicheng an answer when the time came.

Everyone stopped talking about this topic.

Claure suddenly said: "Alan, I would like to ask, do you have a company doing biomedical research and development in Xiangjiang?"

"There is such a company, but my company is still in the stage of recruiting people and purchasing equipment. How did you know about it, Kraul?"

Hearing this, Lin Baicheng looked at Kraul with some surprise. He couldn't help but wonder whether the Rockefeller family or Kraul himself had investigated him, so he knew about the existence of Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Company.

Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biotech is different from other companies, such as Hutchison Whampoa, Hong Kong Electric, and Asia Star Media Group. With a little research, you can find out the relationship between these companies and Lin Baicheng, but Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biotech has not appeared in front of the world. , the company did not use Lin Baicheng's name when recruiting people to purchase equipment. Therefore, unless you specifically investigate Lin Baicheng's companies, it is impossible to know the existence of this company.

"It's a coincidence."

Claure smiled and said: "Alan, your company is currently recruiting people. The professor you want to recruit happens to work at the Institute of Biology controlled by the Rockefeller family. The family attaches great importance to that Institute of Biology, and the professors there are all He is a top talent in the industry, so after learning about this, he specifically investigated Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company, and learned that this is a company from Xiangjiang, and it is Allen's company."

"What a coincidence!"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this. He didn't expect such a coincidence. It doesn't matter whether the truth is this or not. Since Klauer said this, Lin Baicheng took it as what Klauer said was true, and there was no need to question it. After all, the two were not hostile.

"Don't worry, Claure, the recruitment has always been done by the employees below. I didn't know that the research institute was owned by the Rockefeller family. Now that I know about it, I will definitely not let employees Went there to dig people.”

The Rockefeller family still had to give face, so Lin Baicheng decided to tell Bill Harveys to stop poaching people from the Rockefeller family's research institutes.

Claure heard this and said quickly: "Alan, you misunderstood. I am not telling you this to complain."

"What do you mean, Kraul?"

Lin Baicheng was a little puzzled. There was no way Claure would suddenly mention this matter for no reason.

"Is such that."

Claure said: "I know the meaning of the word 'immortality'. I would like to ask, Allen, is the research direction of the company you founded is to extend human lifespan?"

"Yes, this is the long-term ultimate goal. Although I know that the possibility of success is unlikely, I will try my best to persist in investing. Maybe I will not be able to see the results in this life, but I have children and grandchildren. I believe that as long as I persist from generation to generation, There is always hope for success.”

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly. He did not say how smart he was or what his chances of success were. He just explained it from the perspective of an ordinary capitalist.

Phil Smith, who was listening carefully next to him, couldn't help but remind him: "Alan, maybe my words don't sound good, but as a friend, I still want to advise you that your investment in research in this area may eventually be wasted. Return."

"I know you mean well, Smith."

Lin Baicheng smiled and patted Phil Smith on the shoulder. He said: "I know the hope of success is very small, but I am still young. As long as I keep investing every year, in fifty or sixty years, I might really be able to achieve results. With my current net worth, as long as there is no big loss in the next business, even if all the investment cannot see results, the loss is within my acceptable range."

"Think about it, what if I succeed? Not to mention that my life span can be extended. Just from the benefits contained in it, all my previous investments can easily be repaid, and I can even leave a legacy for my descendants. Wealth that will never be spent in the next few lifetimes.”

"This is like a gambling investment. If the investment is successful, you will make a lot of money. If the investment fails, you will only lose some money. As long as the loss is within the tolerance, it is nothing."

"As long as you know what's going on, Allen."

Phil Smith nodded and said no more. Although he was very dissatisfied with Lin Baicheng's investment, one reminder was enough. Saying it too many times would only annoy people, in case he was thought to be cursing. It would be bad if the other party failed.

Claure suddenly asked: "Alan, I would like to ask if the Rockefeller family can be involved in investment?"

"Um?"

After hearing this, even Logan Rockefeller was a little surprised. Of course, he was not optimistic about Changsheng Medical Biotechnology Company. He believed that Claure could also see that the prospects of this company were not good, but now that he knew it, Claure And why should you participate in investment?

"Claude, are you serious?"

Lin Baicheng looked at Klauer with some surprise. He was confident and had a lot of money, so he invested a lot of money in Changsheng Medical and Biological Company. Klauer actually said that the Rockefeller family also wanted to invest. Could it be that the Rockefeller family really You have too much money and no place to spend it?

"Of course I'm serious!"

Claure nodded solemnly: "Ellen, I don't have to joke with you, do I?"

"That's true."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded, then shook his head and said: "Clauer, I have already invested 100 million US dollars in Changsheng Medical Biotechnology Company, and will invest more funds in the future. At least 1 billion US dollars will be invested in five years. This is at least . I am not sure whether the company can succeed or not, and the amount of money to invest is quite a lot, so I still think forget it, there is no need for you to follow this trap."

Krall said: "Alan, you may not know that the purpose of the Rockefeller family is to 'make the most money and live the longest', so the Rockefeller family has invested a lot in medicine and hopes to develop a More medicines to treat disease.”

"The Rockefeller family is willing to invest in drugs to treat diseases, let alone research that can extend human life. As for funding, I don't think you need to worry about it, Allen. The Rockefeller family is not short of money. Even if the investment here ends up with nothing, right It’s nothing to the Rockefellers.”

Of course, Claure doesn't think that Lin Baicheng's investment can develop drugs that extend human life. At least within a hundred years, he thinks it is unlikely. But he believes that with so much money invested, at least some research results can be produced. As long as some research results can be produced, Drugs to treat serious diseases are worth it to the Rockefeller family.

As more and more diseases are overcome by humans, members of the Rockefeller family can live longer, and making so much money becomes more meaningful.

"Alan, I think it is a good thing for you to have the Rockefeller family share the investment with you. The more R\u0026D funds invested, the greater the hope of success, right?"

Phil Smith said to Lin Baicheng that he was happy for Lin Baicheng. He didn't expect that someone would be willing to share this kind of investment with no future. It was Lin Baicheng's good luck.

Lin Baicheng nodded to Phil Smith. He knew that Phil Smith meant well, but then he said to Claure: "I'm glad that the Rockefeller family is willing to invest together, but I can't afford the initial investment. Find someone else to share it with.”

Regarding Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company, Lin Baicheng is not sure whether it can develop life-extending drugs, but he is confident that he can make this company successful and will not let this company lose money, or even let this company create huge profits for him in the future. impossible.

Therefore, for this company that conducts life extension research and is sure to make money, Lin Baicheng has no need to find a partner.

"Alan, if the Rockefeller family joins, the Rockefeller family can help, whether it's recruiting people or future drug experiments."

Seeing Lin Baicheng's refusal, Claure couldn't help but be a little shocked. He really couldn't think of a reason for Lin Baicheng's refusal. With the participation of the Rockefeller family, Lin Baicheng could save a lot of money, so it was not too late to welcome him.

But it turned out that Lin Baicheng refused. No matter what the reason was for Lin Baicheng's refusal, Claure was now more interested in investing in Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company.

"I'll think about this again."

Lin Baicheng declined, but planned to seriously consider it after returning. With the help of the Rockefeller family, it will indeed be easier to recruit people. Future drug experiments can also be handled by the Rockefeller family. If something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with him, so it is indeed worthy of his serious consideration.
