Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Lin family, in the study.

In the study room, apart from Lin Baicheng and Qin Lan, there were some bodyguards who were relatively close to Lin Baicheng.

Brian Irving and others returned to Xiangjiang today and told Lin Baicheng the good news. The base they had found for Thor Security Company had already negotiated terms with the lender, and now they were just waiting for Lin Baicheng, the big boss, to make the final decision.

Before the negotiations, Lin Baicheng, the big boss, naturally knew which country he wanted to negotiate with, and had set out the conditions. The progress of the negotiations was also being followed, but he had just learned about the results of the last negotiation.

Malaya is the country where Guo Henian's family is located. It is located in Southeast Asia. This country has a population of more than 20 million, of which Malays and Chinese account for 90% of the total population, and Chinese account for 20% of the total population. It is said that the Chinese have considerable influence in Malaya.

The Chinese have a history of hundreds of years in Malaya, and unlike the Chinese in West Indonesia, there are no large-scale anti-Chinese incidents in Malaya. The Chinese play a decisive role in Malaya, otherwise Chinese people like Guo Henian and others The family will not become business tycoons.

Malaya was also a British colony before, but it became independent in the late 1950s. Since then, there have been no large-scale political changes in Malaya. The domestic environment can be said to be quite stable, and it has ambitions to develop its economy.

Otherwise, Malaya would not have become one of the Four Asian Tigers in the 1990s.

When Lin Baicheng's people approached the Malayan officials, because the initial proposal to lease the island was accompanied by an investment plan, the Malayan officials did not reject it immediately, but negotiated with Lin Baicheng's people.

As the negotiations progressed, the Malayan side reported back to higher levels, and then the negotiations resumed.

It took several months.

There is nothing that can be done about this. After all, the island rented by Lin Baicheng is not used as a place for tourism and leisure, but as a training base for mercenaries. There will be a large number of mercenaries on the island, and these mercenaries still have weapons. No matter which country you switch to, you will have worries, so you need to think carefully.

The result of this negotiation is out.

The main thing is the conditions offered by Malaya. Only if Lin Baicheng agrees to the conditions offered by Malaya, Malaya will lease an uninhabited island to Lin Baicheng.

Malaya's conditions are that the number of mercenaries on the island shall not exceed 500, and the commercial investment in Malaya within three years shall not be less than 500 million U.S. dollars. The investment cannot be withdrawn from Malaya within ten years. Base construction The required materials and workers must be purchased and recruited in Malaya, and the mercenaries' daily consumption such as food and drink must also be carried out in Malaya. When Malaya is invaded, they are obliged to assist Malaya in resisting foreign enemies. The mercenaries accept Legal administration in Malaya, etc.

In addition, there are some conditions that are relatively less important.

This is the condition this time, and the last condition was even more unfavorable to Lin Baicheng's side. It can be said that Malaya has made some concessions this time.

As for Lin Baicheng's conditions, there are some, but not many. For example, the island is leased for 99 years. People in the base are not allowed to break into the base without violating Malayan laws. Commercial investments must be tax-free for three years. Malaya does not count as being invaded by foreign enemies without formally declaring war. wait.

The conditions proposed by Lin Baicheng were to safeguard Lin Baicheng's interests as much as possible, but they were at a relatively disadvantaged position. After all, it was Lin Baicheng who asked Malaya to lease the island, and it was Lin Baicheng who needed an island as a base.

To put it simply, this is a seller's market. Lin Baicheng, the buyer, can only agree to the conditions offered by the seller that do not exceed the bottom line.

"Sign a contract with Malaya."

After thinking for a while, Lin Baicheng made a decision and Malaya agreed to the conditions one by one.

It’s really hard to find a training base. There are only a few countries to choose from in Southeast Asia, and even fewer countries are willing to rent islands as mercenary training bases. Although the conditions in Malaya are a bit harsh, for the Thor Security Company, Lin Baicheng still Decided to accept.

In fact, it's okay if there is no training base. After all, Lin Baicheng can recruit elite veterans from various countries as employees of the security company. But if there is a training base, this force will be stronger.

The main reason why Lin Baicheng established the Thor Security Company was because he had a bit of persecution paranoia. He always felt that someone was coveting his wealth, and it felt a bit unfounded without armed force to protect him.

However, in fact, no matter which big country covets the wealth in his hands, Lei Shenbao can't stop them, so it doesn't make much sense.

However, the establishment of Thunder God Security is definitely meaningful. After Xiangjiang decided to return, the British government began to mess up, and the security of Xiangjiang will deteriorate. With trustworthy bodyguards by your side, you can at least protect yourself and the people you care about. .

Just the fact that Lin Baicheng didn't have to worry about himself or those around him being kidnapped was actually very important.

Brian Irving responded: "BOSS, since you agreed, we will go over and sign the contract as soon as possible."

Nodding, Lin Baicheng said to Qin Lan: "After the contract is signed, you can second a few people from Hutchison Whampoa's real estate company to build the dock and base first. The workers will be recruited from Malaya as stipulated in the contract. Anyway, local wages in Malaya are not high.”

"Okay Mr. Lin."

Qin Lan nodded slightly and said: "The cost for the construction of the dock base and other facilities is probably 10 million US dollars. The main reason is that there is a certain distance between the island and Malaya, and the transportation of workers and materials is inconvenient. In addition, there is nothing on the island at the beginning. , the cost will naturally be higher.”

"The island rental fee is 20 million U.S. dollars, but the public relations fees outside the contract cost almost 3 million U.S. dollars, and it will cost another 2 million U.S. dollars later. In other words, a total of 2,500 U.S. dollars was spent on the island rental fee. Ten thousand U.S. dollars."

"In addition, there will be a huge expenditure on weapons, bullets and other ordnance. The daily consumption of employees is a big expense, and the monthly salary is not low. It can be said that you will invest a lot of money in Thor's body protection. capital, and there is basically no return on this investment.”

"I know all of this."

Lin Baicheng understood what Qin Lan said, and he was mentally prepared to lose a fortune every year on Lei Shen Baoshen. He regarded it as spending money to buy peace of mind. He could afford the money anyway.

"Speaking of weapons."

Lin Baicheng turned to Orikasandra Maliuk and said, "Maliuk, you said that you would be responsible for the weapons and other equipment. Have you made contact?"

Maliuk nodded and said: "We have already contacted you. As long as you have money, we have all kinds of weapons, and even warships and fighter jets can be sold."

"Even warships?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised: "But we don't need warships and fighter jets for the time being, or even weapons with too much firepower. We have to worry about Malaya's attitude. If there is such a strong firepower from the beginning, , I’m worried that Malaya will regret it.”

"It's up to you to decide what weapons and other equipment you need specifically. After listing them, let Maliuk purchase them. Finally, Yaoxian and Irving will check and accept them together."

Lin Baicheng said to the three of them that in this way the three of them can supervise each other, so that they don't have to worry about wasting money on military expenditures. Even if the three of them receive kickbacks together, it is within the acceptable range.

If the water is deep, there will be no fish. Lin Baicheng cannot ask all his subordinates to be as clear as water. It is human nature to make profits for oneself. As long as the loss is within a certain range, then turn a blind eye, otherwise no one will work for him. .

"Okay, sir!" "Yes, BOSS!"

Chen Yaoxian, Brian Owen and Orikasandra Maliuk responded at the same time.

After looking at all the bodyguards present, Lin Baicheng said: "I have more trust in you. Now that Lei Shen Security is on track, I will arrange for some of you to go to the base as leaders, and the rest will be Stay with me. I want to hear your own thoughts on who goes to the base and who stays with me."

"This matter is not urgent. There is plenty of time. I will give you half a month to think about it. If you want to go to the base, go to the base. If you want to stay with me as a bodyguard, stay with me. You are all mine. A close confidant, please give me an answer in half a month."

Over at the base, Lin Baicheng will definitely arrange for a few people who have been with him for a while to serve as supervisors and other management. The ones who stay with him are the bodyguard captains. No matter which choice they make, they will be his confidants.

Although to be honest, Chen Yaoxian and others had not been with Lin Baicheng for a long time. After all, Lin Baicheng had only made his fortune for more than two years, but no matter what, they were much closer and more trustworthy than the people they had just recruited.

Chen Yaoxian was the first to speak out: "Sir, we will seriously consider it."

Others followed.

Nodding, Lin Baicheng turned to Qin Lan and said: "In our contract with Malaya, there is a three-year and US$500 million commercial investment stipulation. Send someone to Malaya to investigate and investigate the country's economy. situation, which industries are more worthy of investment, and give me a survey report when the time comes."

Since you want to invest, you must of course maximize your benefits and hope that your investment will get the greatest return. It just so happens that Malaya will become one of the Four Asian Tigers in ten years, so there is no need to worry about this country's economic development.

Just knowing this news, Lin Baicheng had a bolder investment plan, which was to not only invest US$500 million, but to increase the amount of investment. He believed that this investment would bring him huge returns in more than ten years.

Lin Baicheng also knows one thing, that is, as any country's economy develops, the real estate industry will definitely rise with the economic development, and you will never lose money by investing in the real estate industry.

However, the risk of investing all your funds in one industry is too great. It is better to diversify your investments and share the risks.

Qin Lan responded: "I will send people to Malaya to investigate and have the investigation report compiled as soon as possible."

"If you need help, you can contact Guo Sheng and ask him to help. Guo Sheng has very strong energy in Malaya."

Lin Baicheng said that helping each other actually makes it easier to bring people closer to each other. Guo Henian is not weak in strength and his attitude is close to the domestic side, so there is no harm in being good friends with Guo Henian.

"I got it."

Qin Lan nodded to express his understanding.

Looking at everyone, Lin Baicheng said: "I will go to the United States the day after tomorrow. I will stay there for a while. I will leave the matter in Malaya to you for the time being. If you have any situation, please contact Qin Lan, Qin Lan will contact me of."

"Yes, BOSS!"

"If you don't have anything else to do, let's do this for now. It's quite late now."

Lin Baicheng looked at his watch and said to Maliuk, "Maliuk, arrange for someone to send Qin Lan back."

"No need, Mr. Lin."

"Safety is important. I'm not worried about you going back alone as a girl."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand, indicating that Qin Lan didn't need to say anything.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for your concern."

Seeing this, Qin Lan thanked her loudly but did not insist.

The next day, Lin Baicheng dealt with some matters on the Xiangjiang side. Because he will leave Xiangjiang for the United States tomorrow and will stay in the United States for a while, so he must first handle some matters on the Xiangjiang side and make corresponding arrangements. .

That night, Lin Baicheng received a call from Weili from London and learned that he had reached an agreement with the Prime Minister's Office and had agreed to Lin Baicheng's final conditions. After Lin Baicheng acquires Bentley Motors, Bentley Motors can jointly establish a car company with China and build a factory in China. However, the cars produced by the factory can only be sold in Asia within ten years.

At this point, Hutchison Whampoa and the Prime Minister's Office have reached an agreement, and the next thing to do is to acquire Bentley Motors.

Weili and others cannot leave London yet. They still need to negotiate with Rolls-Royce to acquire Bentley Motors. This acquisition also requires communication with the Bentley family. After all, the Bentley family still has priority share repurchase terms.

For this acquisition, the Prime Minister's Office did not recommend a bank for cooperation, so Lin Baicheng asked Wei Li to seek cooperation with various banks in the UK and choose to cooperate with HSBC under the same conditions.

Anyway, the money will be earned by British banks, it doesn't matter whether you choose HSBC or not. And choosing HSBC is not without its benefits. At least Hutchison Whampoa and HSBC currently have a deep cooperation. The company does not have to worry about HSBC cheating Hutchison Whampoa. It would be difficult to switch to another bank.

In addition, Lin Baicheng also asked Wei Li to fax him a copy of the information on the non-performing asset companies that Hutchison Whampoa must take over. He wanted to see which companies would be better to acquire.

Although it was unlikely, Lin Baicheng still wanted to look around to see if there were any companies with good technology that could not operate due to poor management. If such a company was acquired, it would be more likely to be revitalized after reorganization. big.

Another thing is to see which companies can complement Lin Baicheng's current companies. Such companies are also more likely to develop.

Although he is taking over the burden, Lin Baicheng still wants to develop the company if possible. After all, no one will have trouble with money.

The next morning, Lin Baicheng flew to Los Angeles with the faxed corporate information. He will take his time to read these corporate information after arriving in the United States. There is no rush anyway. Now that Hutchison Whampoa has not even acquired Bentley Motors, how can it possibly acquire companies with non-performing assets.
