Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

In the afternoon, Lin Baicheng went to Standard Chartered Bank.

Lin Baicheng first transferred the money brought back from the United States to the company accounts of Galaxy Games and Yum Securities, and then asked Huo Yaohua to have afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel.

Facing Lin Baicheng's invitation, Huo Yaohua readily put down his work and went.

The Peninsula Hotel, the earliest and most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong, is located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon Peninsula, where you can see beautiful views of Victoria Bay.

In two lifetimes, this was Lin Baicheng's first time in such a luxurious hotel, but he was now a billionaire and full of confidence, so he didn't have any stage fright.

Lin Baicheng and Huo Yaohua sat by the window. They could clearly see the scenery of Victoria Bay, which was one of the best locations.

The two were drinking afternoon tea and chatting.

"Lin Sheng, there was a lot of money buying Wharf stock a few days ago. You should know about this."

Huo Yaohua said tentatively that the last time Lin Baicheng asked him about Standard Chartered Bank's position when it faced the acquisition of a British company, Wharf had a huge amplitude since then, and it seemed that there was a lot of money to buy it. He had to suspect that Lin Baicheng took action.

"I know this. After all, I am still a participant."

Lin Baicheng smiled and said half-truth: "Actually, I started to acquire Wharf stocks a long time ago, but later I found out that someone was also interested in Wharf, so I wanted to ask Standard Chartered Bank for financial support. "

"It's just that I didn't expect that the other acquirer had sufficient funds. Instead of suppressing the stock price, I let the other party buy all the stocks in my hand."

"Even so, Lin Sheng, you must have made a lot of money this time."

Huo Yaohua couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Since Lin Baicheng acquired Wharf stocks earlier, he would definitely make a lot of money from Wharf stocks this time.

"It's just a small profit, a small profit."

Huo Yaohua didn't ask Lin Baicheng how much he earned specifically, and Lin Baicheng didn't say anything, just keep silent and make a fortune.

"Huo Sheng, I want to ask you or Standard Chartered Bank for a favor this time."

The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Baicheng got to the point.

"Lin Sheng, please tell me."

Huo Yaohua actually knew very well that not agreeing to help last time had made Lin Baicheng have a bad opinion of Standard Chartered. If he still refused to help this time, what reason would he have to find Standard Chartered Bank in the future? It is not impossible to change banks.

"It's like this. There are currently three TV stations in Xiangjiang, namely Li's TV, Jiayi TV and Wireless TV, and I want to acquire Li's TV."

"I know that Li's TV is now affiliated with Li's Voice in the UK, so I would like to entrust your bank to buy the shares of Li's TV held by Li's Voice from Li's Voice."

"I'm going to ask someone to ask about this. As long as Li's voice has the idea of ​​selling shares, it won't be a big problem."

"But Lin Sheng, I have to say one thing first. If Li's voice doesn't want to sell Li's TV, there's nothing we can do."

Huo Yaohua only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Li's TV was not a listed company, and its total market value was only over 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if it was acquired, it would have little impact. He believed that the board of directors would not reject this acquisition entrustment.

"I'm not in a hurry about this matter. It's okay even if Li's Voice has no intention of selling Li's TV for the time being. As long as your bank helps keep in touch, you can just let me know when Li's Voice intends to sell Li's TV." .”

One thing Lin Baicheng knows very well is that in the early 1980s, Li's Voice sold Li's TVs to a consortium in Australia. This shows that Li's TVs are not for sale to Li's Voice.

Besides, Li's TV is just a TV station, it's not for sale, it's just a matter of price.

The acquisition of TV stations is not only because the entertainment industry makes money, but also because the media is an important publicity channel, and Lin Baicheng wants to have it in his hands.

"There's absolutely no problem with that."

Huo Yaohua agreed immediately. Lin Baicheng's request was not difficult.

"Huo Sheng, please help me estimate the valuation of Li's TV when the time comes. I'm willing to buy the shares of Li's TV at a certain premium."

Lin Baicheng said out loud that he could still accept a certain premium acquisition, as long as the price was not too outrageous.

"If there is a certain premium, I think the acquisition will be smoother. After all, Li's Voice only holds Li's TV to make money."

From Huo Yaohua's point of view, maybe Li's voice had no intention of selling Li's TV shares, but if the price was high enough, the other party would definitely not mind selling it.

"Then I'll leave this matter to Huo Sheng."

Lin Baicheng raised his tea cup to express his gratitude.

"Lin Sheng is polite."

Lin Baicheng's net worth is getting richer and richer now, and Huo Yaohua is very happy to make him a friend.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, the stock price of Wharf has been mainly falling without the two big funds buying it, Lin Baicheng and Li Jiacheng, and the trading volume has shrunk severely. There are not as many people buying this stock as there were last week.

Lin Baicheng only pays a little attention to the changes in the stock market. As long as no one buys Wharf in large quantities and the stock price does not rise, it has nothing to do with him.

Two days have passed, and there is still no news from Standard Chartered Huo Yaohua, but Anyuan has completed its investigation of the Xiangjiang gold trading market.

Since Hong Kong's time difference just fills the gap between the closing of the New York and Chicago markets and the opening of the London market, it can connect Asia, Europe and the United States to form a complete world gold market. Therefore, Xiangjiang's superior geographical conditions attracted the attention of European gold merchants. The five major gold merchants in London and the three major Swiss banks came to Xiangjiang to set up branches.

However, there is currently no futures trading business in Xiangjiang, only the Xiangjiang gold and silver trading market and the Xiangjiang London gold market brought by European gold merchants.

The Xiangjiang Gold and Silver Trading Center has a history of several decades. Gold is priced in Hong Kong dollars per taels and is traded using open bidding and gesture transactions. The trading center is managed by a membership system and is mainly dominated by Chinese gold merchants.

The Hong Kong London gold market was formed after the Hong Kong government resumed gold trading in 1974. It is a spot market where gold is settled in London and settled in US dollars in New York two trading days after the transaction. Gold traders, manufacturers and producers around the world participate in this market.

There is actually not much difference between the two. They are both spot gold transactions, not the gold futures transactions that Lin Baicheng wanted.

Lin Baicheng currently does not have a bank in his name, so of course he prefers gold futures trading to spot gold because gold futures can use leverage. By using leverage, you can make more profits with less capital.

Since there is currently no gold futures trading in Xiangjiang, Lin Baicheng decided to go to the United States to trade gold futures, where he could find investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan for leverage financing.
