Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

At night, Lin Baicheng's estate on the outskirts of Houston was brightly lit.

The party started at seven o'clock, but starting at half past six, people came to the manor one after another.

Of course, the big names always appear in the finale, and it is the same at all times and in all countries.

However, Lin Baicheng warmly greeted the arriving guests, such as Xiang Party members and mayors, and his personal secretaries and assistants also shared some of the duties for him. When he greeted the new arrivals, they greeted the guests who had already arrived. Chatting.

"Carter, welcome to the party!"

Lin Baicheng, who saw Jean Carter walking into the manor from a distance, ended his chat with others and walked towards Jean Carter.

"Ellen, long time no see."

Jean Carter shook hands with Lin Baicheng.

"It's been a while since I last saw you."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile: "There is no way. The focus of my career is in Xiangjiang, so I can only take time to come here for a period of time every year."

"Alan, your career in the United States is getting bigger and bigger, so you should pay more attention to it." Jean Carter said.

"that's for sure."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "My career is inseparable from everyone's support. I also support the Xiang Party and Reagan. Even if I am not in the United States, I will still have the support I deserve."

"Mr. Reagan would be very happy to know about your support, Allen."

Jean Carter was a member of Reagan's presidential campaign team. He and Reagan had a community of interests. Only when Reagan became president could he serve in the judiciary and receive strong support.

With Jean Carter's connections, he can actually serve in the judiciary, but the most he can do is serve as a municipal judge. But if he has the support of the president, once he enters the judiciary, he can hold a higher position. There is one A higher starting point.

In every presidential election, in addition to representatives of capital, the presidential candidate's campaign team also has some top-notch figures in terms of ability and connections. The reason why they join the campaign team is to reward the president after he succeeds. Place them in senior positions in the White House or other agencies.

"By the way, Allen, thank you very much for your cooperation with Galaxy Games."

"Galaxy Game Company itself needs a law firm to cooperate with to provide legal consultation and litigate cases. It is not a bad thing to have another law firm to cooperate with. This is a cooperation that is beneficial to everyone. There is no need for Carter to thank me specifically."

Lin Baicheng smiled. He knew that Jean Carter owed him a favor, and this favor would have to be repaid in the future. He was not worried that Jean Carter would not be able to repay it, let alone that Jean Carter would not repay it.

The law firm that Jean Carter worked for previously was a firm founded by the Carter family. Although this firm was not considered top in the United States, it was still among the first. Jean Carter approached Lin Baicheng and wanted to make Carter Firm a star player in the Galaxy Game. Lin Baicheng, one of the company's partner firms, agreed to help.

There are benefits for Carter \u0026 Associates to become a partnership of Galaxy Games Company. First, there is a fixed annual consulting fee, which must be paid even if nothing is done. Then, each time a lawsuit is filed, additional lawyer-related fees must be paid, and a company Lawsuits are inevitable for large companies every year.

In addition to monetary income, there is also the opportunity to train the team, keep the lawyers in the firm occupied, and expand the reputation of the firm. The more big companies that cooperate with the firm and the more lawsuits it wins, the greater the reputation of the firm will be, allowing more wealthy people or companies to cooperate with the firm.

Because of the many benefits, Jean Carter asked Lin Baicheng for help and wanted to cooperate with Galaxy Games Company. For this, he even owed Lin Baicheng a favor.

Jean Carter thought it was worth it, because he also wanted to have more contact with Lin Baicheng through the favor he owed to Lin Baicheng, deepen the friendship between the two parties, and then slowly become Lin Baicheng's co-lawyer.

Once you can become Lin Baicheng's co-lawyer, then Lin Baicheng's companies and firms in the United States can become partners. In this way, the firm's annual income can be at least millions of dollars, and the scale of the firm can also be expanded.

Jean Carter has not mentioned the matter of in-depth cooperation with Lin Baicheng now, because he feels that the time is not right now, the friendship between the two parties is not deep, and his own status is not very high. It is not easy to persuade Lin Baicheng. Rather than mentioning this matter rashly, it will lead to If you fail, it is better to wait until you are sure.

"Alan, I will definitely remember this favor."

Jean Carter didn't say much, but he still expressed that he remembered the favor.

Lin Baicheng and Jean Carter did not chat for too long. Later, when other important members of the Elephant Party arrived, he went over to greet them.

Soon after, Anthony Davis arrived with George H.W. Bush.

Reagan came last, and of course he didn't come alone. He came with others from his campaign. Although this party was held by Lin Baicheng, the party invited were important members of the Xiang Party, so it was not a platform for him to win the support of these people.

At present, Reagan has not become the presidential candidate of the Elephant Party, and there are still people competing against him. Although he has the upper hand, anything can happen before the final result is announced, so he cannot be careless or support at all. are very important to him.

Lin Baicheng and Reagan had the deepest 'friendship', and Lin Baicheng made the most political donations to Reagan. He was also one of the largest supporters of Reagan.

It's just that Lin Baicheng didn't outdo everyone in the limelight. It wasn't that he didn't want to give up the money, but that it would offend other colleagues and add some opponents to him for no reason, which was inappropriate.

"Regan, welcome to my party!"

"Alan, you miss me so much. We haven't seen each other for a while."

The smile on Reagan's face was very sincere. Although he was only a third-rate actor before, his acting skills have improved greatly after entering politics. Now he is definitely among the top in terms of acting skills, and few can match him.

Lin Baicheng couldn't see any traces of Reagan's performance, but he knew that Reagan was acting for him and others to see. It was just because the relationship between the two was not that good. They were just a cooperative relationship with exchanges of interests. .

However, Lin Baicheng would not expose this kind of thing. If he sees through it without telling it, he can still be a good friend.

After Reagan arrived, all the invited guests arrived and the party officially began.

After the party started, of course Lin Baicheng greeted the guests and chatted one by one. Each of them only chatted for a few minutes, and there was no in-depth communication for the time being.

After a lot of work, more than half an hour passed like this.

After completing the circle, Lin Baicheng found Reagan, and the two had a good chat this time.

Reagan first thanked Lin Baicheng for his support, and then expressed that Lin Baicheng could continue to support him and give him more support. He did not tell Lin Baicheng about his campaign platform. He told it to the voters. He very directly stated that he would give Lin Baicheng corresponding rewards after being elected, and he could ask him for help when needed.

Reagan did not say these words to Lin Baicheng alone. He said these words to Lin Baicheng in front of other members of the campaign team, as a guarantee to Lin Baicheng.

This kind of guarantee was exactly what Lin Baicheng needed. At the same time, Reagan actively sought support to express his position.

"Reagan, of course I will continue to support you, and I will give you even greater support."

Reagan had already asked for support, so Lin Baicheng naturally wanted to take a stand. He said: "In addition to some political donations, the employees of my companies, I will let them know you better. I think they will support you." This kind of thing cannot be said. Too dead to avoid being accused of manipulating the election.

"Also, I am currently preparing to establish two charitable funds here in the United States. One of the charitable funds has a scale of 30 million U.S. dollars, and the funds will be used for charity."

"During Reagan's campaign, you could decide the direction of the use of charity funds, and you could decide how to do charity. As long as it is true charity, then I have no objection."

Although if the decision-making power of charitable funds is temporarily handed over to Reagan, Reagan is very likely to use up all 30 million US dollars of charity funds during the campaign to add chips to his own campaign, but as long as he is really doing charity, even if Lin Baicheng could accept it even if it was all spent.

This fund itself is used for charity, which can provide greater support to Reagan and allow Lin Baicheng to get more returns from Reagan. He will not lose money but make money.

"Ellen, thank you for your support. With your support, I am more confident of winning the election."

When Reagan heard this, he shook Lin Baicheng's hand excitedly. With 30 million US dollars in charity funds, he had already thought about how much he could do with this money. He would definitely be able to gain the support of a large number of voters through charity activities.

This 30 million US dollars in charitable funds has exceeded 10% of the total political donations received by Reagan. It is definitely a large sum of money.

Others in the Reagan campaign were also excited because their interests aligned with Reagan's.

Jean Carter asked aloud: "Alan, when will your charity fund be established? Also, you just said that you want to establish two charity funds. What is the situation of the other charity fund?"

Reagan also made a listening statement after hearing this. Of course he wanted to get more support, so if possible, he also wanted to obtain the right to use funds from another charitable foundation.

"One of my two charitable funds is a donation from my sole proprietorship, and I can fully decide. The other is a donation from a non-sole proprietorship. I need to discuss with other shareholders the specific donation amount, how to use the funds, etc. , I can’t completely make the decision, I need to consider the interests of other shareholders.”

Lin Baicheng explained the reason, and then said: "As for when the charity fund will be established, I can't confirm the specific time now. I can only say that it will be established before July and will not affect the presidential election."

"Alan, if possible, I hope you can establish the charity fund as soon as possible. The earlier it is established, the greater the benefit will be to Mr. Reagan."

The person who spoke out was another person in the Reagan campaign team. It was difficult for Reagan to say this himself. After all, Lin Baicheng had already given a lot of support and he could not push it any further, so this 'bad guy' could only be done by someone else.

"I'll try my best."

Lin Baicheng nodded, looked at Reagan and said, "Since it is something that is beneficial to Reagan's campaign, of course I will do it early. This will be beneficial to Reagan and will be beneficial to me in the future."

"Don't worry Allen, I will keep your support for me in mind. We are good friends." Reagan expressed his stance.

"Yes, we are good friends."

Lin Baicheng also had a smile on his face.

After everyone chatted for a while, Reagan expressed that he had something to discuss with Lin Baicheng in private, so Jean Carter and others left. Lin Baicheng and Reagan walked to a deserted area.

Reagan said to Lin Baicheng: "Alan, I have a personal matter that I would like to ask you for help with."

"You said, I will try my best."

Lin Baicheng did not make a guarantee because he did not yet know what Reagan wanted his help for.

Reagan said: "Alan, you have a film production company in Hollywood, right?"

Lin Baicheng nodded: "There is such a company, but it is not large in scale. It can barely be regarded as a second-rate Hollywood production company."

Reagan asked, "So, is your company short of writers and producers?"

“Of course, my company welcomes talented people to join us.”

Lin Baicheng smiled and said, if he guessed correctly, Reagan should have arranged for someone to join the company, which was not a big deal at all. Of course it's best if this person is capable. If he doesn't have the ability, he spends money to support him, just to give Reagan some face.

Reagan said: "Maureen, her name is Maureen Reagan. She used to be an actress. Now she works as a screenwriter in a small film company. She wants to develop into a screenwriter and producer. I hope her dream can come true."

"Maureen Reagan?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. If he remembered correctly, Reagan and his ex-wife had a daughter with this name. She is now nearly forty years old.

"She is my daughter. I want to ask Ellen to help her realize her dream. This is my personal request."

After all, Maureen Reagan is Reagan's daughter. Although he has now formed a new family and even has a son, this does not mean that he does not have any feelings for his daughter. Of course he wants to help his daughter if he is able. , give my daughter a good job.

That's right, it's just a good job, it has nothing to do with dreams, it just sounds nice to say. He is almost forty years old, so there is no need to talk about dreams. The daily necessities in life are more important.

"no problem."

Lin Baicheng agreed: "Regan, I can agree to let your daughter become the company's screenwriter and producer, but I will not unconditionally support her in the production aspect. I will give her a chance, but if she is not capable, I suggested that she change careers and turn to administrative management. The management of Morningstar Pictures has a 10% equity incentive, and if she does well, she might be able to get a certain amount of incentive equity."

"Of course I won't make things difficult for you, Ellen. If she's not capable enough, let her turn to administrative management."

Of course Reagan would not have any objections when he heard this. He just wanted a well-paid job with good management for his daughter. And if he could succeed in the election this time, he believed that Lin Baicheng would make good arrangements for his daughter and even give her a certain amount of compensation. Incentive equity so he can rest assured.

Later, Reagan asked Lin Baicheng not to tell Nancy, his current wife, about this matter. He said that his wife did not like his ex-wife's daughter, so Lin Baicheng naturally agreed.
