Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Monday, February 18, 1980.

Today is Lin Baicheng's birthday, and this year he will hold a birthday party and invite guests from all walks of life to attend his birthday party.

Because of the big deal, the news was known to the media a few days ago. It was only mentioned a few times before, but today, the media from all sides immediately reported it.

Lin Baicheng is the richest man in Hong Kong, and the guests he invites are either rich or noble, or at least well-known figures in the industry. This is a feast for the media, too dazzling to cover.

That night, Hutchison Hotel.

A red carpet was laid out outside the hotel. A large number of reporters were isolated by hotel security and Lin Baicheng's bodyguards, but the reporters were still able to take photos from a distance. If the guests are willing, they can even go over to the reporters to be interviewed by the reporters.

The first ones to walk on the red carpet and to the hotel were the stars of Asia Star Media Group. Their arrival obliterated a large area of ​​film, and the camera flashes kept lighting up.

Famous figures and tycoons are often the last to appear. The birthday party starts at seven o'clock in the evening, and the big guys will make good time. Never late, but never too early either.

At the entrance of the hotel, there are five people, Qin Lan, Cheng Yufeng, Huang Xizhao, Wei Li, and Chen Huixiang, helping to greet the guests. When the more important guests arrive, one of them will take them in and then come out to greet the guests.

Because today is his own birthday party, not a party held by others, Lin Baicheng did not make the finale today, but arrived at the Hutchison Hotel an hour early.

In the hotel lobby, Lin Baicheng would chat with guests after they came in. However, when chatting with capital tycoons and political dignitaries, the chat time will definitely be a little longer.

As the protagonist tonight, Lin Baicheng was very busy, busy greeting the guests.

Lin Baicheng's women, Guan Zhilin, Zhong Chuhong, Zhao Yazhi, Maori Haruko, Yamaguchi Momoe, and Matsuda Seiko, all came. Lin Baicheng specifically asked Qin Lan to stagger their entrance time and arrange for them to stay in different circles.

In fact, there are two women in the United States who are related to Lin Baicheng. However, Demi Moore and the others did not take the initiative to attend Lin Baicheng's birthday party. Naturally, Lin Baicheng would not take the initiative to invite them.

Lin Baicheng felt that they should not have asked when his birthday was. Anyway, they had not asked him personally. They probably only regarded their relationship as a transaction. Lin Baicheng did not object to this, and positioned their relationship It's good to make a deal.

The relationship between Lin Baicheng, Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko was actually a transaction. However, the two of them knew when his birthday was and offered to come over to celebrate his birthday. Lin Baicheng naturally would not refuse. Even if they believed that their relationship was a transaction, Lin Baicheng was mostly happy if they had this intention.

What's more, maybe they don't regard their relationship as a transaction, and maybe it's not love, but there is still a little affection, which is more gratifying than a simple transaction.

As the time got closer and closer to seven o'clock, guests arrived one after another. Until the last appearance of the Governor of Hong Kong, Malihose, Lin Baicheng went out to pick them up in person. He was the only invited guest at this birthday party.

"Lin Sheng, happy birthday!"

As he spoke, Mai Lihao handed the gift box he took from his secretary to Lin Baicheng.

"Thank you Sir!"

Lin Baicheng took the gift box and handed it to Qin Lan standing aside.

"Sir, please come inside."

"Lin Sheng, please go first. You are the protagonist tonight."

Mailihao motioned to Lin Baicheng to go ahead. He was here to attend Lin Baicheng's birthday party tonight, but he had no intention of stealing Lin Baicheng's limelight.

"Since Sir said so, I won't be polite."

Lin Baicheng was not modest and polite. After all, tonight was his birthday party, and he was indeed the star of the birthday party today.

Lin Baicheng and Mai Lihao walked into the main hall, followed by others.

For today's birthday party, the entire Hutchison Hotel has been booked. The main hall cannot accommodate that many people. The only people who can stay in the main hall, apart from people related to Lin Baicheng or the Lin family, are those under Lin Baicheng's name. Important figures in various companies, as well as tycoon-level figures in Hong Kong.

If you don't have enough status, you can't stay in the main hall and can only stay in other halls.

Seeing Lin Baicheng and Mailihao walking in, the guests who had already arrived couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Lin Baicheng, the richest man in Hong Kong, was so prestigious that even Governor Mailihao came to attend his birthday party.

Lin Baicheng held a grand birthday party, so there was no reason why Mailihao would not attend. Not long ago, he approached Lin Baicheng and asked Hutchison Whampoa to invest in the UK. No matter Lin Baicheng considered agreeing for whatever reason, it was to give him face, so he must also give Lin Baicheng face.

Furthermore, Lin Baicheng's influence is growing, and Mailihao wants to go further. Therefore, he naturally hopes to have a good relationship with Lin Baicheng, a big capitalist, so that Lin Baicheng can help him go further in the future.

For both public and private reasons, Mai Lihao was going to attend this birthday party.

Mailihao arrived and greeted some people politely, and then stood aside silently without overshadowing the guests.

Upon seeing this, Lin Baicheng signaled Qin Lan to push the cake cart in.

During the birthday song, the huge cake cart was pushed in, and Lin Baicheng walked over and stood in front of the cake cart.

"Today is my twentieth birthday, Lin Baicheng. I would like to thank you all for taking the time to attend my birthday party and giving me face. Thank you very much!"

With that said, Lin Baicheng turned around and bowed his hands to all parties, and everyone applauded in return.

When the applause gradually died down, Lin Baicheng looked at his parents: "Of course, what I want to thank most is my parents. It is because of them that I am possible. I thank them for giving me life."

"This kid, what are you talking about?"

Even though she said this, Mother Lin was very moved and happy at the moment.

"Today is my twentieth birthday, and I want to make three wishes."

"First, I hope that my parents can live a long life and that my family can be in good health!"

"Second, I hope that Xiangjiang can develop better and better and become an international metropolis!"

"Third, I hope my career will grow bigger and develop smoothly!"

Lin Baicheng's wish was made directly. He did not have any false wishes such as world peace or good health for everyone. However, his wishes were not all for himself. He only made one wish to make his career bigger and bigger. wish, this is enough.

After making a wish, Lin Baicheng symbolically cut the cake, and then the waiter divided the cake, and all the guests present got a piece. Even if you don’t like eating cake, it’s okay, just take a symbolic bite.

"Well, I hope you all have a great time at this party!"

This birthday banquet was held in the form of a party, rather than a table for about ten people to eat. Of course, the food was also laid out and everyone could help themselves.

The party has just begun now. Those who want to eat can eat by themselves, those who want to chat with others can chat with others, and those who want to dance can go dancing.

For most people, this party is a rare social occasion. You may eat a little bit, but you will spend more time socializing and getting to know more people. The people you meet at the party may be able to help you. to your own business, or a business or cooperation is reached through communication.

As the protagonist of the birthday party, Lin Baicheng was very busy. He needed to chat with all the guests to express his gratitude. However, he will definitely be too busy by himself, so he needs help. Qin Lan and other secretariat directors will talk to some people on his behalf.

Of course, the first people to chat and thank were Mailihao, Shen Zhou, Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang, and Wang Yiping. They had the highest status among all the guests. It was impossible for Lin Baicheng to ignore the management of the company he owned. Ignore them.

After all, Mailihao's identity was different. He was the highest official in Hong Kong, not a business tycoon, so it was not convenient for him to stay at such a private party for too long. After staying for more than half an hour, he said goodbye to Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng learned that Mailihao was leaving, so he sent Mailihao out.

Walking outside, Mailihao said: "Lin Sheng, Hutchison Whampoa's trip to London is scheduled for this Friday. Are you really not going to go there in person? This investment is not small."

"Just leave the research work to Wei Li. Once the investment is confirmed, I will go over and sign the contract in person."

Lin Baicheng said that anyway, Wei Li was not entirely responsible for the specific acquisition, so Lin Baicheng was not worried about Wei Li cheating him, so he did not need to go over and watch in person, he only needed to go over when signing.

"This is an investment of at least several hundred million dollars. Lin Sheng, it would be unreasonable for you not to go there."

Maliho said something, and then said: "As for the acquisition of the automobile company, Lin Sheng, you can definitely ask HSBC to cooperate, so that Hutchison Whampoa can complete the investment more smoothly."

"I will consider cooperating with HSBC, but I also have to consider the attitude of Downing Street."

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded, secretly reminding him. He knew that MacLehose's words must be the result of HSBC's public relations. The Hong Kong government often needs to rely on HSBC's power, so the Hong Kong government will help HSBC with some small favors.

"Whether or not you want to cooperate with HSBC in the end depends on Lin Sheng. I just hope that HSBC can have such an opportunity."

Mailihao said with a smile that Shen Porridge asked him for help. He couldn't refuse, and he had already said it. Even if Lin Baicheng didn't choose to cooperate with HSBC in the end, it had nothing to do with him.

"There is definitely an opportunity for HSBC. It just depends on the attitude of Downing Street and what conditions HSBC can offer."

Lin Baicheng said this to use Malihao's words to convey his attitude to Shen Chou. If Downing Street made a request and did not choose HSBC, then Shen Chou could not blame him and Lin Baicheng.

"Lin Sheng, just send it here."

Mailihao didn't say anything else until the two of them arrived at the hotel door. Mailihao wouldn't let Lin Baicheng see him off again.

"Sir, walk slowly, then I won't send you off anymore."

Lin Baicheng didn't insist. He was the protagonist tonight and it was hard to leave for too long.

"I'll take my leave now."

Mailihao said and led the people away.

After watching Mailihao gradually walk away, Lin Baicheng turned back to the hotel.

"Brother Lin!"

Not far away, he saw Guan Zhilin walking from behind a pillar not far away.

"Jiahui, why are you here?"

Guan Zhilin had already greeted him, so Lin Baicheng certainly couldn't turn a blind eye.

"They came out with you, but you are always talking to others."

Guan Zhilin pouted, and then handed over the gift box: "Brother Lin, this is my birthday gift to you." When she came over, she did not give the birthday gift to anyone else.

"Thank you, Jiahui."

Lin Baicheng took it with a smile: "I'm very busy now. I'll open the gift you gave me when I get back. I like whatever you give me."

"Brother Lin, then go and do your work."

Guan Zhilin is not unreasonable, she knows when to be coquettish and when to be obedient.

"Jiahui, have a good time tonight."

Lin Baicheng smiled and stroked Guan Zhilin's hair and led the people away, naturally letting others take the gifts.

"Brother Lin"

Guan Zhilin is not a stupid person who doesn't understand anything. In fact, she really wanted to stand by Lin Baicheng's side on this day, and stand by Lin Baicheng's side openly as Lin Baicheng's girlfriend, but Lin Baicheng didn't let her do this. In order to avoid being It's annoying, she doesn't dare to make any decisions.

"Well, what is your relationship with my brother? You seem to have a very close relationship."

At this time, Lin Qin came over from not far away.

"Are you Lin Qin, brother Lin's sister? Hello."

From the title, Guan Zhilin immediately guessed Lin Qin's identity. After saying hello, she said: "I am Brother Lin's girlfriend. My name is Guan Zhilin. You can call me by my nickname Jiahui. Brother Lin is like this." Call me."

Although he did not dare to announce his relationship with Lin Baicheng without his permission on such an occasion, Guan Zhilin dared to reveal their relationship to Lin Baicheng's sister.

"Are you my brother's girlfriend?"

Lin Qin looked at Guan Zhilin with wide eyes and said, "I admit, you are very beautiful, but my brother already has someone he likes, how can he date you?!" The person she said Lin Baicheng liked Of course it was Lin Qingxia. When Lin Baicheng was in Los Angeles, he didn't hide his love for Lin Qingxia at all. How could she not notice it if she wasn't stupid?

"Brother Lin likes me. He is my boyfriend and I am his girlfriend. This is a fact!"

Guan Zhilin didn't care that Lin Baicheng liked other women, and she didn't ask if that woman was Zhong Chuhong. In her heart, Lin Baicheng only liked her.

"How is this possible?"

Seeing Guan Zhilin's confident expression, Lin Qin couldn't help but become a little suspicious. Could it be that she had really misunderstood? At this moment, she didn't even think about the fact that her brother Lin Baicheng liked many women.

Out of doubt, Lin Qin did not talk to Guan Zhilin more and left with doubts.
