Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Today is Sunday, a day off.

Lin Baicheng didn't go to various companies. After sending Mao Li Qingzi away from Xiangjiang, he went to find Zhong Chuhong. Guan Zhilin and Guan Meiren are now in Los Angeles, and the only one he can find besides Zhong Chuhong is Zhao Yazhi.

The relationship between Zhao Yazhi and Lin Baicheng was not very deep, and he couldn't even guarantee whether Zhao Yazhi had feelings for him.

Therefore, if he chooses between two women, Lin Baicheng will definitely spend more time with Zhong Chuhong.

Zhong Chuhong stopped filming after she decided to develop her career in management. Lin Baicheng arranged for her to enter Xiangjiang University, and she started studying like a freshman. At the same time, in order to let Zhong Chuhong keep up with the progress, he also arranged a tutor for Zhong Chuhong to provide special tutoring.

Normal classes are on weekdays, and tutoring is on weekends. Speaking of which, Zhong Chuhong studies very hard. No matter how well you study, this hard-working spirit is worthy of recognition.

When tutoring was provided, Zhong Chuhong took classes in the villa given to her by Lin Baicheng. Her home was too small and it was inconvenient for the tutor to attend classes at home.

When Lin Baicheng went over to the villa, Zhong Chuhong was in class. He didn't tell Zhong Chuhong in advance before coming over, so Zhong Chuhong was a little surprised.

"Cheng, why didn't you tell me when you came here?"

Zhong Chuhong, who was studying, couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Lin Baicheng arriving.

"Don't I give you a surprise?"

Lin Baicheng hugged Zhong Chuhong as he came with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lin!"

The tutor greeted Lin Baicheng respectfully.

Lin Baicheng said to the female teacher: "There will be no class today. Teacher Chen should go back first."

"Teacher Chen, your trip today was in vain."

It was rare for Lin Baicheng to have time to spend with him. Of course Zhong Chuhong would not give up this great opportunity just because he wanted to study.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Zhong, I'll take my leave now."

Teacher Chen responded. Of course she knew about the relationship between Lin Baicheng and Zhong Chuhong, but her high income made her sign a confidentiality agreement. If the relationship between Lin Baicheng and Zhong Chuhong was leaked from her, the compensation would be something she would never be able to afford in her lifetime, so She didn't even dare to reveal this to her family.

After Teacher Chen left, Lin Baicheng and Zhong Chuhong did not send her out specifically.

Zhong Chuhong held Lin Baicheng's arm and said to him: "You came back yesterday. Have you finished handling your business?"

"How can it be."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "I haven't basically started dealing with official matters yet. These two days are weekends. I will start dealing with various companies' matters tomorrow and Monday."

Zhong Chuhong said with concern: "A lot of things happened during the time you left Xiangjiang. Will there be any problems?"

"fine."

Lin Baicheng smiled with relief: "If something is really going on, the news is already flying all over the sky. The ban on sales in Bay Island has a little impact on my business, but the impact is not big. As long as London If Downing Street or the Hong Kong government did not suppress me, there would be no problems with my business."

In fact, even if the British fully suppress Lin Baicheng, Lin Baicheng will not be unable to do any business. Business in the United States and Japan can still be done as usual. Businesses in other countries can still hope to open up markets as long as they are willing to spend money and energy to develop markets. .

However, if there is a situation of comprehensive British suppression, then Lin Baicheng's losses will be too heavy. Not only is the loss of money now, but it is also about the future.

Taking the most direct example of the semiconductor industry, if the British did not suppress it, Lin Baicheng could develop the semiconductor industry in Hong Kong. However, if the British suppressed it, it would be basically impossible for Lin Baicheng to develop the semiconductor industry.

Even if it can develop, the semiconductor industry is in other countries. When the semiconductor industry becomes more and more important, even if Lin Baicheng, the company controller, wants to transfer the semiconductor company's technology to China, it will not be an easy task.

And if you can't get the relevant technology in the semiconductor industry, even if you develop related companies and make some money through it, it won't make much sense. Technology patents are the most important.

"When you say that, I feel relieved."

Zhong Chuhong knew that there was nothing she could do now. The only thing she could do was to pray for Lin Baicheng.

"lets change a topic."

Lin Baicheng changed the subject and said, "Are you keeping up with your recent studies?"

"Somewhat reluctantly."

Zhong Chuhong shook his head. This was the result of hiring a tutor for private tutoring. Without tutoring, it would only be more difficult for her to learn alone.

"Take your time, don't rush."

Lin Baicheng expressed relief and said: "The most important thing is perseverance. As long as you persist this afternoon, I believe you will succeed in your studies sooner or later."

"Well, don't worry, Cheng, I will persist!"

Zhong Chuhong nodded heavily. Since she has decided to develop into management, she will study hard. This hardship is nothing compared to her previous job, and many people are even envious of her.

"Come on! I believe you!"

A motivated woman is definitely more attractive, and Lin Baicheng certainly hopes that Zhong Chuhong will be motivated instead of giving up halfway.

Of course, Lin Baicheng also likes people like Guan Zhilin, who only cares about playing and looking at her beauty all day long. Who makes Guan Meiren so beautiful? She is so beautiful that people can't extricate themselves.

During the day, Lin Baicheng stayed with Zhong Chuhong.

…

night.

Hutchison Hotel, where Lin Baicheng held a dinner to entertain dignitaries of the Hong Kong government.

Governor MacLehose was also among the guests, and he was even the key recipient. After all, he had the highest status in the Hong Kong government, and many important officials in the Hong Kong government were appointed by him.

This is Hong Kong, which is a colony for the British. Unlike the Prime Minister who is constrained by Parliament in London, the Governor has great power in Hong Kong and has few constraints.

Lin Baicheng had a special chat with Mai Lihao.

"Lin Sheng, you are not going to London?"

Mai Lihao frowned slightly, but Lin Baicheng had just told Mai Lihao that he would not go to London to sign the contract due to the successful transaction between Hutchison Whampoa and Rolls-Royce.

Lin Baicheng nodded: "I will ask my sister to go there on my behalf, and I will also send the director of the secretariat to assist me in my work, together with Wei Li, Hutchison's top class, they will be responsible for signing the contract."

Mailihao couldn't help but said: "Lin Sheng, that's different. You are the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa. Without you, the importance of this signing ceremony would have been lower."

"Although that's true, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. Anyway, Hutchison Whampoa's investment will not be less."

Lin Baicheng paused as he spoke, and continued: "Sir, Hutchison Whampoa's investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in England will not be treated differently, right? I am the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, and I am responsible for Hutchison's shareholders. If Hutchison Whampoa’s investment in England goes wrong at the official level, then I would be really sorry for the other shareholders.”

Maliho solemnly assured: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, there is absolutely no problem with Hutchison's investment in England. As long as Hutchison abides by the law, there is absolutely no need to worry about pressure from the official level."

"Don't worry? It's hard for me to feel relieved."

Lin Baicheng said with emotion: "What happened a few days ago made me very worried."

"Lin Sheng, you should know that there are people behind what happened a few days ago. This is normal business competition and cannot be avoided." Mailihao knew what Lin Baicheng meant.

"Who can say for sure?"

Lin Baicheng shook his head: "Now that Hutchison Whampoa has invested in England, it is too late to regret it. I just hope that my worries will not come true."

"Will not."

Mailihao said thoughtfully: "Lin Sheng, you suddenly decided not to go to London, but because of this concern?"

"Jazz, we are friends, so I'll tell you the truth."

Lin Baicheng expressed his sincerity: "I am very worried that I will not be able to come back after going to London. Although this possibility may not be high, what happened in Xiangjiang a few days ago makes me very worried. For safety reasons, London I’d better not go.”

Hearing this, Mailihao shook his head helplessly and said solemnly: "Lin Sheng, your worries are completely unnecessary. What you are worried about will never happen. Please believe me on this."

Lin Baicheng just smiled and said: "Sir, I have decided that I will not go to the British side until the return of Xiangjiang is confirmed. After the results of the negotiations between China and Britain on the ownership of Xiangjiang come out, I will find another opportunity to go It’s not too late for England, no matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, it won’t have any impact on me, don’t you think?”

Mailihao sighed: "Lin Sheng, you are really too careful."

"Sir, be careful and you'll never make a mistake."

Lin Baicheng didn't take it seriously. He said: "Sir, as a friend, I think you don't want anything to happen to me, right. As long as I'm fine, with our 'friendship', we can help each other and get what we need."

"That's what Lin Sheng said."

Mailihao nodded slightly. It would be more beneficial to him if Lin Baicheng didn't get into trouble.

Not to mention that he has a sum of funds for Lin Baicheng to help manage. Lin Baicheng can help him earn clean Hong Kong dollars, which is a benefit; Lin Baicheng's career is so big and his influence in England is greatly enhanced. When he returns to England, If he takes up the position, then Lin Baicheng will be able to help him reach a higher level.

Lin Baicheng said meaningfully: "Sir, I was targeted by some people a few days ago. If I don't fight back, I will only be considered easy to bully, so..."

"Lin Sheng, what do you want to do?"

Mailihao was not surprised when he heard this. He would only be surprised if Lin Baicheng did not retaliate and had no reaction at all.

"Let them leave Xiangjiang, Sir, what do you think?"

Lin Baicheng had never thought about sending those few people to prison or to humane destruction. It was unlikely that MacLehose would agree to such a request, and if he really did that, it would only make other people share the same hatred. After all, most of the important officials in the Hong Kong government are White people.

"Lin Sheng, there is no need to go to this step, right?"

MacLehose couldn't help but frown slightly. Even if the senior officials of the Hong Kong government were not his cronies, they still listened to him. Now, at best, he would be transferring them back to London, at worst, he would be driving them away from Hong Kong. It will somewhat affect his prestige.

"Sir, it's just you and me here. I'll tell you what's on my mind."

Lin Baicheng said sincerely: "You will be transferred back to London in a few years. No matter where Xiangjiang belongs to in the future, there will definitely be no change before 1997. Therefore, I also hope that I have some connections in London. I hope that when you return to London you will go on to high places, it will do me good too.”

"If I can be better and stronger, I can invest more in London and have more energy. Then I can be of help to the Jazz when you need it."

"So Sir, helping me is not a bad thing for you, but a good thing, don't you think?"

"Lin Sheng, what you said is that you are stronger, which is good for you and me."

Mailihao couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard this. He made friends with Lin Baicheng not only because Lin Baicheng could bring him huge benefits, but also because of this consideration.

Over in London, it was certainly not that MacLehose had no connections at all, but those were political connections and did not have enough capital support. Lin Baicheng had strong financial resources, which was particularly important to him.

Lin Baicheng said: "Sir, I know you don't want to offend those British capital for no reason. This will not be good for you. I will not make it difficult for you. I can handle the counterattack myself. I just need you not to be biased when the time comes." Help, just transfer people back to London."

Mailihao immediately said: "Look at what you said, Lin Sheng, how could I be on the side? Our relationship is much better than theirs. If I want to be on the side, I am also on the side of Lin Sheng."

"That's natural. I believe in Sir."

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded, seeing through but not telling the truth.

"When the time comes, I will still need Lin Sheng's support from you."

Mai Lihao said with a smile, but he acquiesced to Lin Baicheng's previous request. When the time comes, he will not favor the person Lin Baicheng wants to deal with.

Lin Baicheng said happily: "No, we should help each other. There are times when I need Jazz's support."

"Yes, help each other!"

MacLehose was very satisfied when he heard this. Although in the system of Western countries, politicians usually listen to capital, some politicians will not completely obey capital although they can use capital, and those politicians who have reached high positions will not Following the call of capital, at best, they are using each other, and it is not about who is bossing whom.

"Come on Jazz, let's go talk to the others."

Seeing that he and Mai Lihao had reached an agreement, Lin Baicheng immediately asked Mai Lihao to chat with other people. It was not good to just keep chatting with the two of them.

Of course, MacLehose would not refuse. All the guests invited to the party tonight were dignitaries of the Hong Kong government. MacLehose had the highest status among them all, and he also knew all the guests.

At tonight's party, Lin Baicheng mainly wants to negotiate with Mai Lihao. Without Mai Lihao's support or acquiescence, Lin Baicheng can't drive people away. Even if he causes trouble behind his back, he will only offend Mai Lihao and others for no reason. Hong Kong government officials don't have that need.

Now that he has reached an agreement with Mailihao, although Lin Baicheng still has to deal with those people on his own, as long as he can do it, there will be no future troubles, and that is enough.

After the party, Lin Baicheng did not go home, but went to the villa where Zhong Chuhong lived. Zhong Chuhong is also here tonight. She is waiting for Lin Baicheng to come over. This is what the two of them had agreed to during the day.
