Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

The day after I came back was Sunday.

Lin Baicheng postponed socializing and spent time with Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong.

They had been to all the tourist attractions in Xiangjiang, and Lin Baicheng didn't take them to any specific tourist attractions. He just wanted to accompany them.

The three of them went to the mall for shopping.

"This year's Miss Asia is about to begin again."

In the mall, Lin Baicheng saw advertisements related to the Miss Asia contest.

The finals of Miss Asia are usually held in mid-August, and registration and preliminary rounds must be carried out one month in advance, and now it happens to be mid-July.

And this year is different from last year and the year before that. Although the previous two Miss Asia contests covered Asia, the contestants were actually from Hong Kong, and there were no contestants from other parts of Asia.

This year is different. There will be beauties from South Korea and Japan participating in the Miss Asia contest.

On the Japanese side, they cooperate with TV Asahi, relying on Lin Baicheng, a shareholder of TV Asahi. Asia TV and TV Asahi jointly organize the preliminary contest of Miss Asia in Japan. The beauties who pass the preliminary contest will be sent to Hong Kong for the finals.

South Korea also cooperates with local TV stations, but Lin Baicheng has no investment in South Korea. The cooperation with the TV station is a market opened by the TV station management itself and has nothing to do with Lin Baicheng.

In Lin Baicheng's plan, since it is called the Miss Asia Contest, the beauties participating in the beauty pageant must cover all countries in Asia. Currently, only South Korea and Japan have joined. The TV station management still has a lot of work to do in the future.

Guan Zhilin shook Lin Baicheng's arm: "Brother Cheng, don't forget to watch my game then."

"I dare not say anything else. I will definitely go on the final day."

Even if Guan Zhilin does not participate, Lin Baicheng will try his best to go on the day of the finals. What's more, Guan Zhilin will participate, and he will attend as a judge.

"On the day of the final?"

Guan Zhilin couldn't help but pouted. She really hoped that Lin Baicheng would go to watch every game.

"Jiahui, I'm too busy."

Lin Baicheng smiled apologetically, and then changed the subject: "By the way, Jiahui, are you confident in this competition? Let me tell you, you are participating in the competition, but I will never cheat. If someone competes with you, If you are excellent, I will not favor you."

"Brother Cheng, am I not beautiful?"

Guan Zhilin blinked and looked at Lin Baicheng.

"You can't win the championship just by looking good."

Lin Baicheng reminded that as far as he knew, Guan Zhilin's beauty was definitely one of the best in Hong Kong in this era, and it was unlikely that there would be anyone among the contestants who could compare with her beauty.

Guan Zhilin immediately said: "I also study very hard to sing and dance."

"I look forward to your performance then."

Lin Baicheng raised his eyebrows, and then pointed to the Chow Tai Fook jewelry store in front: "Jiahui, Hong, let's go in and take a look."

"Okay, okay."

Of course Guan Zhilin would not object.

Zhong Chuhong smiled and said nothing. Since they were already friends, it was okay to occasionally accept some gifts from Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng and the others walked into the store amidst the greetings of the waiters.

Also following into the store were two female bodyguards. They were not far behind Lin Baicheng and the three of them. Whenever the three of them entered any store, they would follow them.

As for the other bodyguards, some were waiting by the cars in the parking lot, while others were scattered nearby.

Shopping is still shopping, but you still need to bring bodyguards.

Lin Baicheng has not forgotten one thing. According to the news materials he found before his rebirth, there were many rich people and their children kidnapped in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s, and he did not want to be one of them.

One thing Lin Baicheng is sure of is that with his now exposed net worth of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, there must be a large number of people who are jealous of him and want to replace him. There are also people who want to make a fortune from him by tying him up. .

If you are just being kidnapped and extorted for a sum of money, just think of it as spending money to buy peace. What you are afraid of is that others will choose to tear up the money for fear of retaliation after taking the money.

If you die then, you may not have a chance to be reborn.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Guan, Miss Zhong, welcome to our store."

Lin Baicheng and the others were considered regular customers of this store, not to mention he was so famous. When the store manager learned of his arrival, he naturally came out to greet him in person as soon as possible.

Lin Baicheng: "Manager Yan, have you purchased any good products recently? If so, show them to us."

"Brother Cheng, I want to choose slowly by myself."

When women buy jewelry, in addition to the beauty of the jewelry, they also enjoy the selection process.

"Okay, then it's up to you to choose."

Lin Baicheng's main task today is to play with them, so they can do whatever they want.

"Hong, you go and pick some words you like, don't sit here."

"Then I'll go."

There is no woman who doesn't like jewelry, and Zhong Chuhong is no exception, and she is not reserved when she hears this.

Upon seeing this, Lin Baicheng asked the store manager to greet Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong and leave him alone.

"Mr. Lin?"

While Lin Baicheng was watching, he heard someone calling him.

"Dragon boy."

Lin Baicheng turned around and saw the familiar big nose, which was Cheng Long.

"Are you here to buy jewelry too? Are you the only one?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin, it's just me."

Cheng Long nodded, looking a little reserved: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Lin here. I'm so honored." For him, Lin Baicheng was a big shot who could affect his future.

"Let's go over there and have a chat."

Lin Baicheng greeted Cheng Long and walked to the place where Chow Tai Fook sat down for the guests to rest.

"Who are you pursuing? To the point of buying jewelry as a gift to him?"

As a reborn person, he knew that Cheng Long was lustful and had a lot of fun after becoming famous, but he didn't expect that he would start now. But it's right to think about it. Now Cheng Long has become famous. Not to mention the first-tier stars, there are still some second-tier stars.

What's more, Cheng Long is quite rich now. He received two million Hong Kong dollars in signing fees alone. After shooting a few movies, he still has a net worth of two million Hong Kong dollars after tax.

Even if Cheng Long spends money to buy a house, a car, and other expenses, he will still have hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars left over.

In this day and age, hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars is no longer a small amount of money. It has strong purchasing power and is at least enough to pick up girls.

"A fellow actor, a young actor, cannot be in your eyes, Mr. Lin."

Cheng Long smiled, not sure if Lin Baicheng, the big boss, would have any opinions on him.

"We are colleagues."

Lin Baicheng was not prepared to ask further. No matter who that person was, it had nothing to do with him.

"Long Zai, although the contract signed by the company with you does not stipulate that you cannot have a girlfriend or get married, you are free to love, but if you are just having fun, you must be careful not to do anything that affects your image."

This reminder still needs to be reminded. If there is any negative news that affects the image, even if Lin Baicheng wants to support Cheng Long, he still has to worry about the impact.

Lin Baicheng signed Cheng Long to Star Pictures, not because he really wanted to praise Cheng Long. He and Cheng Long were not related, so how could they praise each other for no reason? He praised Cheng Long so that Cheng Long could make money for Star Pictures in the future. Make money for him as the boss.

If Cheng Long's image is damaged due to his own reasons, which affects Xingchen Pictures' plan to promote him, then the loss will be made by Xingchen Pictures, and the loss will be Lin Baicheng, the company owner.

Even though the money Cheng Long earned for the company after becoming a big star is no longer a huge amount to Lin Baicheng now, no one would think it was a lot of money, and the big money was accumulated little by little.

Lin Baicheng attaches great importance to every enterprise that can make money for him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, this kind of thing will never happen."

Cheng Long felt a sense of awe when he heard this, and immediately made a solemn promise.

"As long as you have an idea."

Lin Baicheng nodded and asked, "Have you filmed any movies recently? What arrangements does the company have for you next?" There are many companies he has to deal with now, and it is impossible to know everything about every company. clear.

Specific to Star Pictures, it is impossible for Lin Baicheng to know everything about the filming plans of every actor or director in the company.

If Star Pictures hadn't been in the entertainment industry and linked to those beautiful celebrities, with the current earning power of Star Pictures, it wouldn't have been easy to get his attention.

Cheng Long replied: "There was a movie released at the beginning of the year, and another movie "Junior Brother Goes Out" will be released next Friday."

"So, you will be filming at least one more movie this year?"

There are still nearly half a year to go, and the Christmas period last year was very good, so Lin Baicheng guessed that Cheng Long will have another movie released in the future.

"There is still a movie to be made, but it won't be in Xiangjiang."

Cheng Long said: "After the release of "Junior Brother", Mr. Wu arranged for me to go to the United States to film at Morningstar Pictures. He said that I would first start to learn the Hollywood filmmaking model and get used to it."

"Manager Wu has already started arranging for you to enter Hollywood."

Lin Baicheng was slightly surprised, then thought for a while and said, "You shouldn't have been the protagonist there in the past, right? Even if you were the protagonist, I think the investment cost of the film would not be high, right?"

Cheng Long is not even a first-line movie star in Xiangjiang now, let alone in Hollywood, where he is no different from a newcomer.

"Not the protagonist."

Cheng Long nodded: "Manager Wu told me that it is a small-budget movie co-produced by Star Pictures and Morning Star Pictures, and I play the second male lead. In addition to this role, Manager Wu said that he would also help me get a few It’s a small role, and I’ll play a few small supporting roles first to familiarize myself with the filmmaking mode.”

"This is the right thing to do."

Lin Baicheng looked at him and said, "Long Zai, don't be impatient. Take your time. It's not easy to open up the Hollywood market."

"I'm not in a hurry, Mr. Lin. I'm very grateful to the company for training me."

Cheng Long knows very well that among the Chinese, only Bruce Lee is famous in Hollywood, and there is only one Bruce Lee. Now he does not feel that he can compare with Bruce Lee. He is satisfied to be able to go to Hollywood to film, even if he only starts with a supporting role.

"Brother Cheng, come here and help me see which one is more beautiful."

At this time, Guan Zhilin, who was picking out jewelry over there, shouted to Lin Baicheng.

"Okay, I'll be right over."

Lin Baicheng responded, and then said to Cheng Long: "Long Zai, that's all for today, go and do your business."

"Mr. Lin, please walk slowly."

Cheng Long stood up and watched Lin Baicheng leave.

Later, Cheng Long also went to choose jewelry himself. Of course, the quality he bought would not be too high. After all, his wealth was limited.

"Jiahui, as long as you like it, I will choose it all and give it to you."

Lin Baicheng walked to Guan Zhilin's side. Although Guan Zhilin had several items in front of him, he was willing to spend money to buy them all and give them to Guan Meiren.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng."

Hearing this, Guan Zhilin happily kissed Lin Baicheng on the face, and then said: "But I can choose two things. Brother Cheng, please help me choose." She also knew the right to choose them all and was not greedy.

"Okay, I'll help you choose."

Lin Baicheng picked up one of the jewelry and looked at it: "Jiahui, you and Hong are both so beautiful. We really need to choose something good-looking to wear, so that it matches you."

"Then Brother Cheng, you have to choose carefully."

Guan Zhilin smiled happily.

Lin Baicheng carefully selected jewelry. He didn't know how to match it, but he bought jewelry for Guan Zhilin and the others to make them look better. It was Lin Baicheng who admired them, so he only needed to match it according to Lin Baicheng's aesthetics.

About twenty minutes later.

Lin Baicheng left the jewelry store with the two women carrying the bags and went to other stores in the mall to continue shopping.

In the evening, the three of them did not go back to the villa in Repulse Bay, but went to the Hutchison Hotel for dinner together.

"Brother Cheng, starting from tomorrow, you will be busy again, right?"

At the dinner table, Guan Zhilin said.

"right."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "It has been more than a month since I left Xiangjiang this time. I have to visit various companies. There are many things that I have to deal with personally."

"Then do you have time to play with me on the weekend?" Guan Zhilin asked.

"I'm not sure now, but I'm in Xiangjiang. Even if I don't have time every night, I won't be busy until late every day, so I will definitely have time to accompany you."

Lin Baicheng smiled at the two women. He was not a workaholic and could not attend dinner parties and the like every day, so he had time to spend with Guan Zhilin and the others.

Guan Zhilin immediately said: "Brother Cheng, this is what you said."

Although Zhong Chuhong didn't say anything, she was also very concerned about it and was relieved to know that Lin Baicheng had time to spend with them on weekdays.

"I do what I say."

Lin Baicheng nodded heavily.

After dinner, the three of them did not go anywhere to play, but went directly back to the villa.

Of course, the three of them will not go back to the villa in Repulse Bay that night, but the villa where Guan Zhilin currently lives, and the three of them will stay here tonight.

Lin Baicheng spent the night at home last night. That was because Lin Baicheng just came back yesterday and did not have to stay at home today. He had time to spend with his two girls.

Zhong Chuhong was a little embarrassed and reluctant to spend the night in the villa where Guan Zhilin lived, but she was still persuaded by Lin Baicheng. But Zhong Chuhong said she wanted to sleep separately, so Lin Baicheng didn't force her.

But if they sleep separately and return to sleep separately, what should happen will still happen, otherwise there would be no need to specifically call Zhong Chuhong over here.
