Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

It's another Saturday.

Lin Baicheng accepted the invitation to play golf at the invitation of Phil Smith, Claude Rockefeller and others.

Logically speaking, Lin Baicheng should try his best to stay with the operation team at this time.

But Phil Smith and the others had recently invited Lin Baicheng many times but said they were unavailable. In order to avoid attracting their attention to the villa where the operation team was located, Lin Baicheng still thought it would be better to go to the appointment.

At this time, Lin Baicheng didn't want even the slightest accident to happen.

Because Carrie Fisher came to New York to shoot a commercial a few days ago, Lin Baicheng took her with him. When Carrie Fisher came to New York, she contacted Lin Baicheng, but Lin Baicheng didn't have time to pay attention to her at that time. Now he takes her with him when he has time.

In fact, if you really want to bring a female companion, it would be better to take Maori Haruko with you, but Lin Baicheng would rather have Maori Haruko stay in the villa to take charge of him.

"Alan!"

When Lin Baicheng took Carrie Fisher to the place, he only saw Phil Smith and his fiancee Anna Nord. After Phil Smith said hello to Lin Baicheng, he and Carrie Fisher Xue nodded as a greeting.

Of course Phil Smith knows Carrie Fisher, because he was the one who arranged for Carrie Fisher for Lin Baicheng.

"Smith, Anna."

Lin Baicheng said hello to the two of them, then introduced the two to Carrie Fisher, and then asked: "Where are Claure and Logan?"

"Not yet, but I think it will be soon. There are still a few minutes until the time we arrange to meet."

Phil Smith looked at his watch and was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Claure and Logan should have arrived at this time. After all, they were the ones who invited Lin Baicheng to come out to play. It made no sense to let Lin Baicheng come over in advance. Wait for them.

Lin Baicheng said: "Then let's go over there and sit down and chat for a while, waiting for them to come over."

Now the four of them walked towards the tables and chairs.

Phil Smith said: "Alan, what have you been busy with recently? I asked you to hang out and I said I don't have time."

"The main thing is to invest in gold futures. I have to keep an eye on it. Once the trend changes, I can make a decision as soon as possible."

Lin Baicheng's words are not entirely an excuse. If the price of gold changes during the sharp rise, bad news suddenly appears, or a large amount of money is sold, then he will definitely let his men sell away regardless of the cost.

If such an accident really happens, Lin Baicheng will not worry about whether his long funds will be discovered, running away is the most important thing.

Phil Smith apologized: "That's true, but it's our fault for bothering you, Allen, at this time."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand: "It's okay, it didn't affect anything anyway."

"After all, Alan, you are the best. You decisively seized the opportunity and led us people to make a fortune. I have to thank you for this."

Phil Smith was talking about the fact that Lin Baicheng led a small circle to make money by doing long gold futures. As for the extra investment by individuals, they should also be grateful, but the personal investment is decided by themselves.

"It sounds like I still don't dare to take too big risks. I closed many orders early, but now it seems I have made a lot less money, which is a pity."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand, pretending to be sorry, as if the gold futures were long and sold early.

Lin Baicheng and his small circle invested in gold futures. They invested a total of US$120 million in principal and used five times leverage to operate US$600 million in principal. The average buying price at that time was US$441 per ounce, while the selling price was US$441 per ounce. The average price is US$604.5 per ounce.

An increase of 37.07%, after five times the leverage, is almost a profit of 185% of the principal, and the profit after deducting transaction fees is US$222 million.

However, you still have to pay taxes and deduct leverage interest. Fortunately, the tax payment for offshore accounts does not cost much. In addition, the leverage period is less than one month and the interest is not much, so there is not much to deduct.

210 million US dollars, this is the final profit that the small circle can get after deducting taxes, leverage interest and bonuses to the operating team.

Among the operating funds this time, Lin Baicheng paid out US$35 million of US$120 million in principal, so his final profit was US$61.25 million.

In addition to Lin Baicheng, the person with the second largest profit share is Iwasaki Mineryu who invested US$20 million, and he can share the profit of US$35 million. Phil Smith, Bao Yugang and other investors who invested US$10 million made a profit of US$17.5 million.

The fewest were Hu Yinxiang and Li Zhaoji. They only invested US$5 million in principal, so their profit this time was only US$8.75 million.

However, even if the minimum allocation is US$8.75 million, if converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would be more than 36 million Hong Kong dollars. The profit of more than 36 million Hong Kong dollars was invested in less than a month, and the principal invested was only 21 million Hong Kong dollars.

This time it can be said that the investment is small, the time is short, and the return on investment is very high.

For this kind of investment, no investor can be picky and can only be satisfied.

The small circle's long gold futures orders have been sold and all the funds have been received. Lin Baicheng has asked people to distribute them to investors according to their respective investment ratios. All investors also called him to express their gratitude.

The same was true in Xiangjiang. Bao Yugang and others even said that when he returned to Xiangjiang, they would hold a celebration banquet and thank you banquet for him. They would like to thank Lin Baicheng for bringing them to make a fortune together, and they also asked him to attend as a reward.

Of course, Lin Baicheng would not refuse such a banquet. He wanted to set up a community organization, and he would definitely attend more banquets like this.

After hearing this, Phil Smith immediately said: "You can't say that. No one knew that the price of gold could rise to such a high level. Alan, you closed the long orders before. It was out of caution, so as not to risk the funds of us investors." . In less than a month, the rate of return was nearly doubled. No one would be dissatisfied with such a high rate of return on investment.”

"Haha, as long as everyone is satisfied."

Lin Baicheng laughed. Of course he didn't really feel sorry or blame himself. He estimated that the price of gold would undoubtedly rise above US$800/ounce, but he still asked people to close out the long orders in the small circle when it was around US$600/ounce, mainly because this rate of return was enough. , if you really leave at the highest point, it will make people think too much.

"In less than a month, the rate of return is nearly double. What kind of investment is this?"

Carrie Fisher, who was listening to the conversation between the two, couldn't help being surprised. At the same time, she felt that she needed to get to know Lin Baicheng, the capital tycoon, again. She originally thought that Lin Baicheng was just a young master from a wealthy family, but now it seems that this is not the case, but that he has real abilities.

More importantly, if she could please Lin Baicheng, then she could let Lin Baicheng lead her to make a fortune. She also wanted to invest in this kind of investment that would nearly double the rate of return in less than a month.

Filming is very hard. If you are not famous, you can't get any advertising endorsements. What's more important is that the acting lifespan of female stars is usually much shorter than that of male stars. After the age of thirty-five, her career will go downhill. She has to prepare for her future. For your own sake, while you are young, you must earn enough wealth to live a prosperous life for the rest of your life.

"Ms. Fisher, it is said that the second part of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back will be released in the first half of this year. Is that true?"

When Lin Baicheng and Phil Smith were chatting about other things, Anna Nord also started to interject. She did not ignore Carrie Fisher and found a topic to chat.

Carrie Fisher said: "It is now in post-production. According to the distributor Fox, the release date is initially set for May. I don't know if the release date will be changed by then."

"The first Star Wars was a huge hit, even doubling Fox's stock price. Fox must be attaching great importance to the second part now, and with the first part as a base, I think as long as the film is not bad, the box office results of the second part will not be the same." How bad will it be?"

Phil Smith said that the capital market also thinks so, which can be seen from the recent rise in Fox's stock price.

The second part of Star Wars, Lin Baicheng certainly knew that this movie would do very well at the box office. It seems that there were a total of ten movies in this series. The reason why it seems like it is because Lin Baicheng has never seen this series of movies, but he only knows that it is very popular in Western countries and has a high box office.

Lin Baicheng's guess is that there are so many movies in the series, including a total of more than ten movies, including the main story, prequels, sequels, and spin-offs. The continuity of the story will definitely not be considered when the film is first shot.

Only when a movie performs very well at the box office and the producer and capital see a profit, will they start shooting sequels. Usually only two sequels will be made, which adds up to a trilogy. If the trilogy has a very good box office Okay, then capital will consider making prequels or sequels to continue making money.

If there are more than ten movies in a series, then there must be prequels, sequels, and spin-offs. It can almost be said that the box office performance of each movie is not bad, at least it will not cause the company to lose money, and the company will continue to shoot when it sees profit. .

Movie series like this are the favorites of the management. Sometimes it doesn't matter even if the box office results cannot make back the money. As long as the money can be made back through the licensing of peripherals of the film, that is the same.

Although he knew that Star Wars was very profitable, Lin Baicheng never thought of acquiring its rights because he knew that Lucas and Fox would not sell the rights.

As for offering a price that the other party couldn't refuse, Lin Baicheng only did it after he was full. With so much money, he might as well make other investments. After all, there is no guarantee that Star Wars will be as classic as the original track in his hands. things.

"Sorry to interrupt, are these Mr. Smith and Mr. Allen?"

While Lin Baicheng and the others were chatting, a staff member who looked like a golf course employee came over.

Phil Smith said: "I'm Smith, what can I do?"

"Hello Mr. Smith, I am Alvin, the manager here. Your friend Mr. Logan Rockefeller just called and said that he and Mr. Claure Rockefeller had a traffic accident on the way here, so they didn't Please come here on time and let me come over to apologize to Mr. Smith and Mr. Allen."

"There was a traffic accident?!"

Lin Baicheng and the others couldn't help being surprised when they heard this.

Phil Smith immediately asked: "Ewen, right? Did Logan say how they are doing now?"

Ivan responded: "Mr. Logan Rockefeller said they are fine and will come over later, but it will take a little time."

"It's okay."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

Because of the traffic accident between Logan Rockefeller and Claude Rockefeller, before they came over, Lin Baicheng and Phil Smith had no intention of playing golf first and simply sat and chatted while waiting for them. come over.

More than half an hour after the appointed time, Logan Rockefeller and Claure Rockefeller arrived. Seeing that the two of them walked no differently than usual, you could tell that the two of them were indeed fine, otherwise they would definitely have gone to the hospital for a check-up.

Later, Lin Baicheng and the others learned the whole story from Logan and Claure.

The matter is actually not complicated. Logan and Crower came in the same car, and the driver who was driving for them accidentally hit a motor vehicle. Nothing happened to them, but the other person was injured and bleeding. Fortunately, No human life occurred. But they were the parties after all, so they could not leave until the police and their lawyers arrived at the scene.

Even for the Rockefeller family, after something like this happened, they still had to go through the procedures. It was even because of the prominent family that they had to be more careful.

If he really said, "My father is Li Gang," it would be a lie.

Since Logan and Claure were fine, of course Lin Baicheng and the others started playing golf when they came over.

While playing ball, Lin Baicheng and Claure also determined one thing, that is, Claure invested US$10 million to acquire 2% of the shares of Changsheng Medical and Biological Company and became a small shareholder of the company.

After thinking about it for a few days, Lawrence Rockefeller finally felt that 50 million U.S. dollars was too much investment. However, because of Lin Baicheng's large investment, he was a little unwilling to give up like this, so he finally decided to put out 10 million U.S. dollars to try the water. .

Claure Rockefeller only invested US$10 million, and Lin Baicheng was not too little, but he repeatedly stated that the Rockefeller family must contribute to recruiting talents for the company, otherwise he would return the money to the other party, and Claure agreed.

For Lin Baicheng, the less money Claure Rockefeller invested, the better. As long as it could help the company recruit talents, it was enough. He had never thought about letting the company raise funds from outside the company.

This cooperation has been decided in this way, but now it is only verbally negotiated, and it will take some time to implement the cooperation into a contract.

It will take some time for Lin Baicheng to invest another 390 million US dollars into the Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company. After he injects the money into the company, Claude Rockefeller will send people to Xiangjiang. After the two parties sign the capital injection contract, , the cooperation is confirmed.

In the meantime, if Claure Rockefeller felt regretful, he could go back on his word at any time.
