Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

New York, morning.

"I know about this. I will go back to Tokyo in a few days. We will talk about it then."

Haruko Mouri hung up the phone.

"Are you a friend from Tokyo?"

Vivien Kelly, not far away, asked.

Lin Baicheng's long gold futures orders were finally sold yesterday. However, the sales were resold, and the settlement with brokers and banks has not yet been completed. Some funds have not yet been transferred, so the operation team has not been disbanded.

Maori Haruko wanted to make a call outside. In order to avoid suspicion, she called Vivien Kelly over.

"You could say that."

Mouri Haruko nodded. Chiba Nanako used to be her subordinate, but now the two have no affiliation. Although Chiba Nanako moves closer to her, because the two have no direct affiliation, they are friends on the surface. Not superiors and subordinates.

"Thank you, Manager Kelly."

Haruko Mouri did not explain anything to Vivien Kelly. The two had nothing to say because they had a competitive relationship.

Vivien Kelly shrugged: "I can't help you, the gross profit manager."

"You're helping me by coming here."

"After this operation is over, are you planning to leave New York for a while?"

"Well, because of this operation, I didn't even go back for the Chinese New Year. It just so happened that Mr. Cheng was going to give the company a long holiday. Of course I had to take this opportunity to go back."

"I have been extremely exhausted during this period. I need to take a good rest this time."

Not only did Haruko Mouri, who lived in a foreign country, not celebrate the New Year, but the entire team did not leave the villa during the Chinese New Year. This was a contract signed before joining the team.

Although they have lost their freedom and cannot celebrate the New Year with their families, the benefits are not small. After the operation, the lowest-level employees can receive a bonus equivalent to half a year's salary, as well as a performance commission that is no less than the bonus. The specific amount depends on each person. Performance.

In other words, as long as they join the operation team, the worst employee can get no less than one year's salary, and good performance is likely to get more.

It's just a New Year that I didn't spend with my family. Not everyone can resist the temptation of such a high salary.

"Chengjun told me that after the operation here is over, the lockdown will be lifted immediately. Bonuses equivalent to one year's salary will be given to everyone first, and the rest will be calculated and distributed after the ten-day long holiday. I believe everyone will be happy this time. Have a long and relaxing holiday.”

Lin Baicheng is not here now, and Maori Haruko calls him very affectionately. In fact, she is secretly reminding Vivien Kelly of her special relationship with Lin Baicheng.

"I think everyone will be happy."

Vivien Kelly couldn't help but smile on her face. As one of the highest-ranking people, she must also be able to get one of the largest bonuses. It's a pity that going long in gold futures is the big boss's own idea, not the suggestion of others, so the bonus will be relatively smaller, and there is no fixed percentage of performance commission, which is a bit regretful.

Instead, Vivien Kelly is still leading the long oil futures operation. Although part of the operation was sold, there are still some funds that have not been sold. This operation was suggested by her, so she gained a lot. Part of the profit commission has been received.

"Manager Maori, I have something to ask you."

"Please say."

"It's already February, and the chairman's birthday is only about half a month away. I would like to ask if the chairman will have a big birthday party this year?"

For Lin Baicheng's subordinates, his birthday is an important day. If there is a birthday celebration, being invited shows that Lin Baicheng values ​​that person. This is extremely important for his future career.

"I asked Mr. Cheng a few days ago, and he said that it will be a big event this year. Not only business friends will be invited, but also senior executives of certain levels from various companies will be invited."

Without waiting for Vivien Kelly to ask, Haruko Maori continued: "Because I was too busy a while ago, Cheng-kun didn't let anyone inform me, but I think it will be soon, after all, there is only about half a month left. Of time, be sure to leave time for the invited executives to arrange the affairs of each company.”

"Thank you, Manager Maori."

Vivien Kelly thanked her.

"Bella was so serious back then"

Vivien Kelly felt sorry for Isabella and herself in her heart. When Isabella and Maori Haruko became the assistants of the big boss at the same time, Maori Haruko seized the opportunity and took the initiative to seduce the big boss. She had an extraordinary relationship with the big boss. Personal relationship.

But Isabella wanted to do things through her own efforts. The big boss gave her a chance, and she seized the opportunity herself. Now she has become the president of New Century Software Company. But compared with Maori Haruko, she has actually lost to Haruko Mouri.

In terms of level, the president of New Century Software Company is naturally not inferior to the manager of Golden Fleece Company, but the problem is that the big boss trusts Haruko Maori more. Haruko Maori can know many things immediately but Isabella cannot. This is the gap. .

If Isabella had seized the opportunity and became the big boss's bedfellow, not only could she now become the president of the New Century Software Company, but she could also intervene in the management of more companies. For example, would it be a big deal if the big boss celebrated his birthday? You can also know immediately when doing this kind of thing.

Vivien Kelly, who is Isabella's good friend, can also benefit from this, and she can also have Isabella as a backup in the Golden Fleece Company. Unlike now, if the big boss didn't value her, she would definitely be squeezed out in the company and wouldn't be as smooth as she is now.

Nowadays, the scale of Golden Fleece Company is getting bigger and bigger. Vivien Kelly is young and female. There is no way to convince Doug Goldon and others. On weekdays, she can feel that Doug Goldon and others at the same level People's secret rejection was just because the big boss valued her so much that they didn't make it so obvious.

Not only did Doug Goldon and others exclude Vivien Kelly, but they also competed with each other. The reason is actually very simple. The company's funds are limited. The more operating funds that can be allocated, the greater the possibility of leading the team to make profits and the greater the profits. This is related to its own performance commission and the position of the company's president.

Currently, the Golden Fleece Company does not have a president. The daily affairs of the company are managed by Haruko Mouri. However, Haruko Mouri cannot intervene in the investment area. What she can do is supervise the funds. Therefore, senior executives including Vivien Kelly may be involved. Become company president.

Everyone wants to be the president of the company, and it is everyone's instinct to squeeze out any competitor. Even Vivien Kelly herself is doing this.

If Isabella had become the woman of the big boss, Vivien Kelly would have received more support, and would have been more likely to defeat Doug Gordon and others to become the president of the Golden Fleece Company. She would not be as helpless as she is now. Determine what the future holds.

Speaking of which, in terms of appearance, Vivien Kelly is also a great beauty, but she has never thought of actively seducing the big boss, because she knows that it is basically impossible to succeed.

Vivien Kelly is not a pure woman. She has dated more than five boyfriends so far. She just broke up with her boyfriend when she switched jobs to Lin Baicheng. She doesn't believe that the big boss can't find out about this kind of thing. , and doesn’t think the big boss will accept her.

Isabella is different. Her family is religious and requires women not to have sex with men before marriage. Isabella has always maintained this. At least her good friend Vivien Kelly did not find out about Isabella. She had a very close relationship with a man, so Vivien Kelly suggested that Isabella take the initiative because she thought Isabella had a great chance of taking the initiative.

It's a pity that Isabella didn't take the initiative to seduce the big boss. With the big boss's current achievements, there is no shortage of women. Even as a subordinate, it is not as easy as before to seduce the big boss. The big boss is likely to take into account the superiors and subordinates. Reluctant to accept high-level relationships to avoid affecting corporate management.

After all, for today's big bosses, if they are rich and powerful, they cannot find any beautiful women outside.

Therefore, Vivien Kelly felt regretful and felt that Isabella had lost a great opportunity and would probably never have another great opportunity in the future.

Maori Haruko didn't know that Vivien Kelly had thought so much. Anyway, she had always felt that her original choice was the right one. Not only did she gain wealth, her career also reached a higher level, and Lin Baicheng also liked her and treated her well.

Of course, there are regrets. For example, Lin Baicheng has many women and he will probably not marry her in the future.

But with giving comes something, and when you gain something, you have to lose something else. Haruko Maori feels that she has gained more, so although she has regrets, she has never regretted it, and she has always believed that her original choice was the right one.

…

Lin Baicheng didn't stay in Tokyo for too long. He took a private plane back to Xiangjiang at noon on Sunday.

This time when he came to Tokyo, apart from meeting Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko, Lin Baicheng dealt with the matter of Zhiyin comics. After finishing the matter, Xiangjiang was busy again, so he naturally went back to Xiangjiang.

The Lunar New Year is coming, and Lin Baicheng wants to visit various companies before that to express condolences to employees.

At the same time, this period of time before the year was a time when interpersonal relationships were frequent, and there were many dinner parties in Xiangjiang waiting for Lin Baicheng to attend.

By the time Lin Baicheng arrived in Xiangjiang, it was already around six o'clock in the evening. After he returned to the villa and changed his clothes, he went to a dinner party in an extended Lincoln.

The dinner was organized by HSBC, and the guests invited were business owners who had business dealings with HSBC. Therefore, the guests attending the dinner were both British and Chinese. It can be said that HSBC is the only company in Hong Kong that can enjoy both British and Chinese capital. .

In terms of assets alone, Lin Baicheng can be said to be the number one in Hong Kong now, but he only cooperates with a small part of the British capital, and most of the British capital has not cooperated, and the relationship is not very good. On this point, he has no way to deal with HSBC Compare.

"Lin Sheng, long time no see!"

An 'old friend' whom Lin Baicheng had not seen for a while walked towards Lin Baicheng.

"It's Huo Sheng. It's been a long time indeed."

Lin Baicheng shook hands with the visitor, and was really surprised to see Huo Yaohua coming.

Huo Yaohua, Standard Chartered Bank's chief executive in Hong Kong, Lin Baicheng often cooperated with Standard Chartered Bank in the past, and his personal relationship with Huo Yaohua was also good. Unfortunately, Standard Chartered Bank later sided with British capital and Lin Baicheng, and the cooperation between the two parties naturally ended.

After Lin Baicheng and Standard Chartered Bank stopped cooperating, Huo Yaohua, as the bank's chief executive, naturally couldn't get too close to Lin Baicheng. Lin Baicheng has also stopped contacting Huo Yaohua since then, but it is not that the two have never met again, such as the Hong Kong government organized The charity party will be attended by both of them.

However, after meeting at the dinner party, the two did not say hello, and they only nodded in greeting. This time, Huo Yaohua suddenly took the initiative to greet Lin Baicheng, and Lin Baicheng was naturally a little surprised.

Putting aside the factor of Standard Chartered Bank, Lin Baicheng's relationship with Huo Yaohua was not bad before, so when Huo Yaohua greeted him now, he shook hands in response instead of nodding and saying hello and leaving.

Lin Baicheng was not surprised that Huo Yaohua appeared here. Although they are both banks, Standard Chartered and HSBC are competitors, but they also have cooperation. Therefore, similar dinners organized by HSBC will invite senior executives of Standard Chartered, and senior executives of HSBC will also be invited to dinners held by Standard Chartered. .

Huo Yaohua complimented: "Lin Sheng, your business is getting bigger and bigger now. It's really amazing and enviable."

Lin Baicheng said politely: "Thanks to Huo Sheng's help, I was able to win Asia Television so easily."

After hearing this, Huo Yaohua said: "Lin Sheng was joking. Even if there was no Standard Chartered, if Lin Sheng had cooperated with HSBC, he could have successfully bought ATV. Therefore, Standard Chartered and I didn't actually help much. Speaking of which, I have to thank Lin I'm sorry for taking care of our business."

Lin Baicheng smiled and did not argue with Huo Yaohua about this, but talked about something else. From the chat, Lin Baicheng learned one thing, that is, Huo Yaohua had submitted his resignation to the Board of Directors of Standard Chartered and would resign in three months at the latest. It would depend on when Standard Chartered would arrange a replacement at the earliest.

After learning about this, Lin Baicheng understood why Huo Yaohua suddenly greeted him today. It turned out that he was about to leave Standard Chartered, and he no longer had to worry about the impact of greeting Lin Baicheng.

After learning about this, Lin Baicheng asked Huo Yaohua about his next arrangements. He learned from Huo Yaohua that he had not found a new home yet. He immediately started thinking about recruiting Huo Yaohua to Galaxy Bank, but he didn't know whether Huo Yaohua was willing to accept it. .

After all, Galaxy Bank cannot compete with Standard Chartered Bank now, and Huo Yaohua was previously the senior manager of Standard Chartered Bank. Now he will definitely not be able to hold the position of senior manager at Galaxy Bank, so Lin Baicheng is not sure whether Huo Yaohua will be willing to accept the invitation.

Lin Baicheng hopes that Huo Yaohua can accept it. Galaxy Bank is currently in the process of expansion, especially in the international market. If Huo Yaohua can join, the expansion will definitely be smoother. Galaxy Bank is too short of talents.

Although he was thinking about it, Lin Baicheng did not immediately invite Huo Yaohua. This is not the place to talk about this, so he just made an appointment with Huo Yaohua to have tea and chat together, and then separated from Huo Yaohua.

Anyway, Huo Yaohua is not resigning from Standard Chartered immediately, so there is still time, and Lin Baicheng is not in a hurry to invite Huo Yaohua immediately.
