Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

The next day, Lin Baicheng also invited Miki Yaota to play golf.

However, while playing golf this time, Miki Yaota did not discuss business cooperation or other official matters with Lin Baicheng. It is not known whether Miki Yaota had no business to discuss with Lin Baicheng, or whether he was not in a hurry to discuss it.

No matter what the situation was, since Miki Yaotai didn't say anything, Lin Baicheng certainly wouldn't take the initiative to bring up this topic.

In many business cooperations, whichever party is more anxious and proposes cooperation first will be at a disadvantage in cooperation negotiations and suffer damage to their interests.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Baicheng suddenly received a call from Chen Huixiang. Chen Huixiang reported to him that Miki Yaota and Jin Zaizhong, who were arranged to stay at the Hutchison Hotel, met at the hotel and then found a place to chat. It seemed that the conversation was very speculative.

After learning about this, Lin Baicheng felt calm and just expressed that he knew about it, that's all.

Lin Baicheng didn't want to cooperate with Miki Yota and Kim Jaejoong at the same time. He was worried that they would unite against him and harm his interests. Since there is no such situation, it has nothing to do with Lin Baicheng whether they are good friends or not.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng would not let anyone find out what the two people talked about.

For Lin Baicheng, the upcoming finals of the third Miss Asia beauty pageant deserve more attention.

Today is already the 13th, and the first round of the finals will be held on Saturday, the 16th. Twenty beauties will be selected to participate in the finals.

The finals will also be held this week, on Sunday, the 17th.

Counting it all together, there are only a few days left.

On Friday, Kim Jae-joong expressed through his entourage that he would talk to Lin Baicheng again and report to Lin Baicheng from the bottom up.

After learning about it, Lin Baicheng invited Kim Jaejoong to have afternoon tea at the Hutchison Hotel.

Whether it is Japan or South Korea, both countries are greatly influenced by Chinese culture. Tea ceremony is very popular in both countries, and many upper class people have a hobby of drinking tea.

This time, the only people drinking afternoon tea were Lin Baicheng and Jin Zaizhong, and neither party brought anyone else with them.

Instead of getting down to business right away, the two of them had afternoon tea, and there was a lot of politeness.

After a while.

Jin Zaizhong said: "President Lin, I have already considered your cooperation in joining Kim Heavy Industries."

"President Jin, please speak, I am all ears."

Lin Baicheng's expression became serious when he heard this.

Jin Zaizhong said: "Chairman Lin is right. After you become a shareholder of Kim Heavy Industries, our cooperation will be closer. So after thinking about it, I feel that it will be beneficial to both of us if Chairman Lin joins Kim Heavy Industries." .”

"It's great to hear President Jin say this. In lieu of wine, I would like to offer a toast to President Jin."

Although there had been speculation about this for a long time, Lin Baicheng was still very happy after hearing it.

"President Lin is too polite."

Upon seeing this, Jin Jaejoong immediately responded politely.

After drinking tea, Lin Baicheng asked: "President Jin, how many shares are you willing to give up?"

"President Lin, how about 5% of the shares?"

Jin Zaizhong tentatively said a number.

"5%?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but frown: "President Jin, you only have 5% of the shares. Isn't that too little? Such a low ratio will basically have no impact on Jin Heavy Industries. It is meaningless."

"How much does President Lin want?"

Kim Jae-jung was not surprised when he heard this, saying that 5% was just a test on his part.

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said: "President Jin, what do you think of 30%? This ratio is no more than one-third, and it should not affect the Kim Chaebol's control of Kim Heavy Industries."

"President Lin, 30% is absolutely not acceptable."

Kim Jaejoong immediately waved his hand and vetoed: "This ratio is too high. Kim Heavy Industries is the core industry of the Kim Chaebol. Kim will never give up so much 30% of its shares."

"Chairman Kim, what if I buy shares at double the premium of Kim Heavy Industries' current valuation?"

Lin Baicheng's offer of such a high premium was actually a test. If Jin Jaejoong agrees, it means that there may be a problem with Jin Heavy Industries, and he needs to investigate Jin Heavy Industries carefully to avoid getting into trouble.

"President Lin, this has nothing to do with the price."

Jin Zaizhong shook his head without any hesitation or temptation, and then he said jokingly: "But if Chairman Lin is willing to buy shares at a five times premium, I would rather let you get 30% of the shares and become the second largest shareholder of Jin Heavy Industries." shareholder."

"President Jin was joking, five times the premium. I believe no one would pay such a high price."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but laugh. He was stupid to pay such a high premium. Taking into account the inflation rate, there is a question mark as to whether he can earn back this money in ten years.

What's more, it is only the second largest shareholder of Jinshi Heavy Industries. The control is still in the hands of others, and it is their home field. It is easy for things to happen, and the money will be wasted if one mistake is made.

Jin Zaizhong was not surprised when he heard this. He did not talk about the price, but said: "Chairman Lin, since you can't offer a high price, then 30% of the shares is absolutely impossible. Since President Lin feels that 5% of the shares are too little, Then let’s take 10%, but there are conditions for President Lin to get so many shares.”

"Conditions? What conditions?"

Lin Baicheng still feels that 10% of the shares is too small, but he is not in a hurry to talk about it now. It is not too late to listen to the local conditions first.

Jin Zaizhong said in a deep voice: "Chairman Lin bought a stake in Kim Heavy Industries. When he obtained 10% of the shares, he needed to lend an additional amount of money to Kim Heavy Industries. The interest on this money can be calculated according to my country's bank interest rates. The loan period is five years. ."

Jin Zaizhong didn't want to give away too many shares, but also wanted to get more funds, so he combined the two, giving up some shares and getting some loans at the same time.

In this case, Kim Heavy Industries can get a sum of money by itself by giving up 10% of its shares, and can get another sum of money by borrowing money. The company can flex its muscles in the next few years.

Lin Baicheng asked: "How much extra money do I need to lend?"

"$30 million."

Of course, Jin Jaejoong opened his mouth to give the other party room to bargain.

"let me see."

Lin Baicheng did not give an answer immediately after hearing this.

Jin Zaizhong didn't push it. This was not a trivial matter. It was normal for the other party to think about it. Even if he didn't give an answer today, he wouldn't be surprised.

After a while, Lin Baicheng made a preliminary decision.

He said: "President Jin, I can agree to the loan."

"but."

Before Jin Zaizhong could be happy, Lin Baicheng added: "Only 10% of the shares are not enough, and I can't lend Jin Heavy Industries as much as 30 million US dollars."

"10% of the shares is already quite high, and Chairman Lin wants more, which is a bit embarrassing."

Jin Zaizhong had mixed feelings. It was certainly a good thing to get an extra loan, but he didn't want to give up too many shares.

"President Jin, don't worry, I won't ask for too much. How about I only want 15% of the shares?"

Lin Baicheng is not as open as the lion. If he can get 15% of the shares, he can also make a fortune as Jin Heavy Industries develops and grows. If Kim Heavy Industries encounters difficulties in its subsequent development, he might be able to find a way to get some more shares.

Take your time and don't rush, you won't become fat after one bite.

"President Lin, I want to think about this."

After Jin Zaizhong pondered, he said: "Besides, when the company raises funds and there is one more shareholder, I have to notify the other shareholders. If the shares are not large, I can make the decision directly. It will not have much impact on other shareholders. The proportion of 15% of the shares is no longer enough." It’s too small.”

"Cooperation cannot be settled once or twice. President Jin, don't be in a hurry and think about it slowly."

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

"correct."

Jin Zaizhong suddenly said: "President Lin just said that he cannot lend as much as 30 million US dollars, so how much can he lend to Kim Heavy Industries?"

"I will have a meeting to discuss this with my team, but I can now tell Chairman Jin a specific figure, which is no less than 5 million US dollars."

Of course, Lin Baicheng will not lend too much money easily. The more shares he can get, the more money he is willing to lend, which is regarded as the price to pay for these shares.

Jin Zai Zhong immediately said: "President Lin, 5 million US dollars is too little. It is not enough."

"President Kim, five million US dollars is no longer a small amount."

Lin Baicheng retorted, and then said: "I think we can just talk about it today. We each have to think about this cooperation. How about we find time to discuss it in detail next time?"

"fair enough."

Jin Zaizhong did not object when he heard this.

After all, it is a cooperation involving at least tens of millions of dollars. There is no reason to settle the deal in one or two times. It is normal for the talks to last for several months.

That night, Lin Baicheng invited Iwasaki Mineryu, Miki Yota, and Jin Jaejoong to have dinner together.

In addition to Huang Xizhao, the four people will be the judges of the finals of this Asian beauty pageant. Lin Baicheng called everyone together in order to let them formally get to know each other in advance.

Lin Baicheng knew that Miki Yota and Kim Jaejoong had communicated. The two parties either had just met at the time or had already known each other, but Iwasaki Mineryu and Kim Jaejoong did not necessarily know each other.

Lin Baicheng introduced several people to each other.

"Mr. Iwasaki is actually a senior executive of Mitsubishi Bank. He is really young and promising."

Iwasaki Mineryu reminded Jin Jaejoong of the Iwasaki family, the controlling family of the Mitsubishi Consortium. Xiangjiang is a region after all. Iwasaki Mineryu can be responsible for the management of a region, at least for the middle and senior management of Mitsubishi Bank. If he can be transferred back to the Japanese headquarters in the future, he will definitely There is much to be done.

However, because of the special hostile relationship between South Korea and Japan, Kim Jaejoong never thought of borrowing money from Mitsubishi Bank and introducing Japanese capital.

As a chaebol, although Kim Jaejoong is not as hostile to Japan as the people at the bottom, he must be so when facing the people. Only in this way can he not affect the chaebol's business. However, this does not affect his friendship with Japanese entrepreneurs. There is no harm in having many friends.

Iwasaki Mineryu waved his hand: "President Jin is joking. With Mr. Lin's pearls in front of me, how can I be considered young and promising?"

"Iwasaki-san is too modest."

Miki Yota smiled and said that there has not been a business genius like Lin Baicheng in decades. Anyone who has achieved business success at the age of thirty can be considered young and promising.

"This time, I am very grateful to Mr. Iwasaki, President Miki and President Jin for their help. They were able to take time out of their busy schedules to come to Xiangjiang and serve as judges for the finals of this Asian beauty pageant. I would like to toast you all."

Lin Baicheng raised his glass and solemnly expressed his gratitude to the three of them.

"Mr. Lin, you're welcome."

Iwasaki Mineryu raised his glass.

Miki Yota and Kim Jaejoong also said polite words and raised their glasses in return.

The four of them chatted while eating, talking about current affairs and business knowledge.

After eating, drinking, and chatting, the four of them went back to their homes.

The villas of Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Mineryu were both over Repulse Bay, and not far away. Knowing that Lin Baicheng was also going back, Iwasaki Mineryu took a ride.

"Lin Junyi's car is more comfortable to ride in."

Iwasaki Mineryu looked at the spacious interior of the car with emotion, not to mention that it could seat several people. There were also some drinks and food inside, and you could even lie down and rest after a long journey.

Lin Baicheng smiled and said: "If you feel comfortable, you can just order one. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are nothing to you anyway."

"I'd better forget it."

Iwasaki Mineryu felt moved, but still waved his hand. Mainly because he thought that he would be transferred back to Tokyo in a few years, and taking such a stretched Lincoln when traveling in Tokyo would be too high-profile given his status in the Mitsubishi Foundation, which was not a good thing.

And if you only use it in Xiangjiang for a few years, hundreds of thousands of dollars will be a waste. After all, the extended Lincoln is only used when commuting to and from get off work, and you don't spend much time in the car every day.

Lin Baicheng didn't say anything when he saw this. Anyway, whether to buy it or not was Iwasaki Mineryu's own business and had nothing to do with him.

"By the way, Mr. Lin."

Iwasaki Mineryu suddenly asked: "This time, Chairman Miki of TV Asahi and Chairman Kim behind MBC TV station both came to Xiangjiang in person. Are you making any big plans and are you planning to cooperate with them?"

The reason why I asked this was mainly because Iwasaki Mineryu felt that it was just a beauty pageant final, and it was not held by their two TV stations. As presidents, they did not have the need to come to Xiangjiang to be judges in person. There must be something hidden in this.

The first thing Iwasaki Mineryu guessed was business cooperation.

Several cooperations with Lin Baicheng have resulted in no losses so far. Iwasaki Mineryu certainly does not want to miss any opportunity to cooperate with Lin Baicheng. Now that he has guessed that there is a cooperation, of course he wants to see if he can get involved.

"I said, Iwasaki-kun, why do you want to hitchhike all of a sudden? He is waiting for me here."

Lin Baicheng joked with a smile.

"Jun Lin, if there is any business cooperation, you must bring me with you."

Iwasaki Mineryu didn't take it seriously, but licked his face to join in.

If you want to make money, you have to be thick-skinned. Don't say it's just a joke between friends. Even if it's the ridicule of your opponent, you have to smile and endure it.

It’s not that you can’t have an attack, but as a successful business person, you should wait until you get the benefits before you think about an attack or revenge, instead of causing yourself to suffer losses because of face problems.
