Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

"Chengjun, the current investment details are here."

Maori Haruko pointed to the pile of documents in front of her. These are all.

Lin Baicheng said: "Please give me the approximate data first."

"OK."

Haruko Mouri responded and said: "Only about one-third of the first batch of US$1 billion has been spent so far. This is mainly because the team has just been formed and needs practice and running-in. It is also a trust issue, so it is impossible. If we allocate too much money at once for them to do things, they can only do it slowly, so progress is not fast.”

"It's not urgent. Your concerns are very reasonable. Trust is indeed very important."

Lin Baicheng nodded approvingly: "I would rather invest slower and be safer and more concealed than to be in the spotlight, let alone let the people below me steal the company's money."

Haruko Mouri nodded to express her understanding, and continued: "Among the funds that have been spent, the investment directions you mentioned at the beginning, Cheng-kun, are currently mainly in three areas that have made great progress. They are antique acquisitions, real estate investments, and stocks of large companies. Buy and sell.”

Lin Baicheng motioned to Maori Haruko to continue.

Maori Haruko said: "In the area of ​​antique acquisition, due to historical factors, there are many antiques from China in Japan. I arranged for people to find relevant people in Japan to be responsible for the acquisition and appraisal of antiques. The antiques currently acquired Although the quantity is not large, certain channels have been established. I believe that as we continue to spend money on acquisitions and build our reputation, more and more antiques will be acquired in the future."

Lin Baicheng knew what the historical factor Maori Haruko was talking about, which was World War II. Japan invaded China and stole many Chinese antiques, even national treasures.

If Lin Baicheng acquires these antiques, it will be recycling a national treasure, which is a good thing.

"Although it is not necessary to buy an antique and send it to Xiangjiang, but after acquiring a certain amount, find a way to send it to Xiangjiang. Don't think about buying a lot and then sending it to Xiangjiang."

Lin Baicheng reminded him aloud, mainly because he was worried about something unexpected happening. After all, Japan is greatly influenced by Chinese culture, and China's national treasures must have a high status in Japan. It would be bad if it attracted the attention of Japanese officials.

"Cheng-kun, how many antiques would be appropriate to give away at one time?"

Mouri Haruko asked, she had no problem with that.

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said: "If it is a national treasure-level antique, then three pieces can be given away once. For general antiques, ten pieces can be given away once. When sending it, do not send it directly to Xiangjiang, and finally send it to the United States first. Or do transit in other countries.”

"Cheng-kun, let me remember it."

Maori Haruko responded and went to get a pen and notebook to write down. Of course, she didn't need to use a notebook to write down this matter, but there were other investments to report, and there were probably other things that she needed to write down, so she had to use a notebook to write them down.

After Haruko Maori finished writing, Lin Baicheng asked: "How do you do real estate investment?"

Haruko Mouri replied: "One is to directly buy the stocks of existing real estate companies in Japan and become shareholders of the real estate company. If the real estate industry goes up, the real estate companies will definitely benefit, so buying the stocks of real estate companies is the most direct investment. There is another One is to buy stocks of companies in the industry chain related to real estate, such as cement, decoration, construction, etc. If the real estate industry continues to grow, the development of these related industries will certainly not be bad."

"Then there is investing in small real estate companies. Becoming a major shareholder of a real estate company. Once these real estate companies develop, the benefits will be greater. However, small real estate companies have lower risk resistance capabilities, so the risks are higher, and some investments have suffered losses. The possibility is there, and it’s not small.”

"The last one is a real estate company established by myself. However, this company has just been established. Because Chengjun told me not to have too many direct contacts with the company below, so I can't directly help the company. Currently, I can only rely on the company. The hiring manager is left to explore the market on his own, and the company’s development is currently not progressing.”

"Real estate investment is the bulk of the investment. All added up, the total cost is a little over 100 million U.S. dollars."

"Take your time, don't rush."

It is only the beginning of 1981, and there are still several years before Japan's real estate industry officially breaks out. It is still a long time, and there is absolutely no time, so Lin Baicheng is not in a hurry.

Haruko Mouri nodded and said: "In terms of stock buying, according to what you said, Cheng-kun, buy stocks of large companies, such as Sony, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, etc. There are many large companies in this area, and it is more convenient to buy stocks, so invest There are quite a lot of them, and they have purchased stocks with a total value of almost US$180 million so far.”

"Continue to buy, as I said, as long as the shareholding ratio does not exceed 5%."

After the Plaza Accord, Japan will usher in a super bull market. At that time, the stocks of basically any company will rise, let alone large companies.

When investing now, there is basically no possibility of losing money.

"clear."

After Haruko Mouri responded, she said: "Regarding investment in the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries, I have only purchased a small number of stocks in related companies. It is not easy to acquire related technologies, and I have not found a suitable target yet. "

"I need to pay more attention to investment in these two aspects. I also need relevant technology patents."

Lin Baicheng emphatically reminded that, not to mention the semiconductor industry, he himself has personally conducted research and development of medical technology, so how could he not pay attention to the medical industry.

Although it is said that Lin Baicheng is developing drug technology that extends human lifespan, there is no harm in acquiring more patented technologies, which may be used as a reference.

"Don't worry, Cheng-kun, I will be more considerate."

Maori Haruko immediately responded. Lin Baicheng said so specifically, how could she not take it to heart.

Lin Baicheng said: "Let me look at the relevant information. If I have any questions, please explain it next to me."

"OK!"

Now Lin Baicheng looked at the information.

Whenever I encountered anything I wanted to ask, I asked Haruko Mouri, and Haruko Moori answered every one of them. She had read all this information and knew it well.

Lin Baicheng had quite a lot of information to read. He spent the whole day with Haruko Mouri. After reading the information, he had a clearer understanding of the current investment situation that Haruko Mouri was responsible for. It's not like before, he just had a rough idea.

The day after reading the information, Lin Baicheng asked Mouri Haruko to return to Japan.

In the next few days, Lin Baicheng only did one thing besides comforting Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong.

In fact, between Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin needed Lin Baicheng's coaxing, but Zhong Chuhong didn't get into trouble with him. He just told him that he didn't like Maori Haruko, and then nothing else.

What Lin Baicheng has done in the past few days is to officially express his disapproval of the Jiani Group in interviews with reporters, so he asked Hutchison Whampoa to sell Jiani Group's shares, and also advised investors not to buy Jiani Group's shares. stock.

The reason why the reporter suddenly asked Lin Baicheng this was because before that, Wei Li had publicly disclosed that he was not optimistic about Jiani Group, so he sold the shares of Jiani Group. And this was naturally arranged by Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng's influence in Hong Kong is still not low. After his words came out, the share price of Jianing Group fell by as much as 10% that day, equivalent to the evaporation of about 300 million Hong Kong dollars in market value.

This was because Chen Songqing reacted quickly and immediately asked HSBC and British Capital for endorsement. Therefore, the stock trend of Jiani Group the next day was that it fell in the morning and rebounded in the afternoon. It only fell a little throughout the day, not much.

Lin Baicheng's influence is not small, but the influence of HSBC and British Capital is also not small, or even greater. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, the 10% decline caused by Lin Baicheng's words will slow down in the next trading day. Slowly rise back up.

In other words, if there are no accidents, the influence of Lin Baicheng's words is limited, and the impact on the stock price of Jianing Group will only be short-term.

Moreover, in this way, it will end at the end, but it will be detrimental to Lin Baicheng, because in the eyes of the outside world, this is Lin Baicheng's revenge on the Jianing Group, but his revenge will not have an impact on Chen Songqing and the Jianing Group. The result will only be Lin Baicheng's revenge. Although Chen Songqing was underestimated, Chen Songqing was recognized by more people.

Lin Baicheng is not stupid, not to mention he has a secretariat to help him advise, so he is very aware of the problems involved.

"When will we find evidence of financial fraud at Jianing Group?"

Lin Baicheng called Qin Lan over. This was the most advantageous counterattack. As long as evidence of financial fraud of the Jianning Group is found, even HSBC and British Capital cannot save Chen Songqing. At that time, the only thing waiting for Chen Songqing is jail.

Jianing Group collapsed and Chen Songqing was arrested.

These are enough for the outside world to see the consequences of offending him, Lin Baicheng, and for everyone to know how powerful Lin Baicheng is and no longer dare to underestimate him easily.

Qin Lan immediately said: "Mr. Lin, we are still working hard."

"That's not the answer I wanted."

Lin Baicheng frowned slightly, looked at Qin Lan and said, "I just want the result."

Qin Lan felt the pressure and said solemnly: "Mr. Lin, we have made some progress here, but it still takes some time."

"how long will it take?"

Lin Baicheng looked at her and said, "You should know that many people are laughing at me now, and you don't want me to become a joke, right?"

"how come."

Qin Lan immediately promised: "Mr. Lin, please give me a little more time, and I will definitely find the evidence of Jianing Group's financial fraud."

Lin Baicheng nodded and asked, "How much longer do you need?"

"Ten days."

Qin Lan originally wanted to say half a month, but after thinking about it, she shortened the time. She knew that her boss could not wait patiently for that long.

Lin Baicheng waved his hand: "Ten days is too long. I'll give you a week. Can you do it?"

"Mr. Lin, I'll try my best!"

When the boss asked this, of course Qin Lan couldn't say it couldn't be done.

Lin Baicheng said solemnly: "It's not about trying your best, but you must do it. Don't be afraid of spending money."

"Yes, Mr. Lin, I will definitely do it."

Qin Lan knew that if things didn't go well, she would definitely be in trouble this time.

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Lin Baicheng said no more, he just wanted to wait for the results. If no evidence of financial fraud is found after a week, it means that Qin Lan and the Secretariat are not doing well, and then he will have to think carefully about how to deal with Qin Lan and the others.

After Qin Lan left, she returned to the secretariat floor of the Galaxy Financial Building, anxious for the assistants to attend a meeting.

"Long story short."

Qin Lan said directly: "I was called over by Mr. Lin just now. Mr. Lin asked me when I would find evidence of the financial fraud of Jianing Group. I said it would take time. Mr. Lin was very dissatisfied with this. Mr. Lin only gave me one week. Time requires me to get things done. If things are not done well, everyone should be very clear about the consequences."

"Director Qin, tell us what we should do."

Chen Zhixiong, the deputy director, immediately expressed his position. He knew that everyone was a grasshopper on a rope in this matter. If the matter was not handled well, the entire secretariat would be unlucky, and he himself would not be an exception, so he would only cooperate fully. Qin Lan.

"It's not me who says what to do, everyone has to work together."

Qin Lan said in a deep voice: "Although Mr. Lin gave us a week, we must find the evidence within five days. This is not only because we want to do things beautifully and satisfy Mr. Lin, but also because we need the remaining Two days as a buffer.”

Li Xiong said aloud: "Director, if you want to get things done as soon as possible, I think you still have to spend money. As long as the money is enough, you won't find any evidence if you don't believe me."

"Mr. Lin said, don't be afraid of spending money, so money is not a problem, as long as you don't ask for money randomly." Qin Lan said immediately.

Others also talked about it, and they all believed that as long as they spent more money, they would definitely be able to find evidence.

After some discussion, Qin Lan assigned tasks to everyone, asking everyone to focus on this task and put aside other things at hand for the time being and finish this matter first.

The remuneration in the Secretariat is still very high, and the social status is also high, with some rights, so everyone cherishes their work and expressed that they will get things done and not let the big boss Lin Baicheng down.

As for Lin Baicheng, after handing the matter over to Qin Lan and the Secretariat, he stopped interfering. The Secretariat could only report to him a week later.

However, Lin Baicheng also prepared for the worst, that is, if the secretariat failed to provide support, he would have to use his contacts this time and ask the Hong Kong government to directly investigate the Jianing Group. Senior officials of the Hong Kong government, including MacLehose and Henry, accepted Lin Baicheng's benefits. If Lin Baicheng needed it, it was time to let them do something.

Lin Baicheng was not sure about asking the Hong Kong government to investigate large British-funded groups such as HSBC or Jardine Matheson. He thought the possibility of success was unlikely. However, the chairman of Jianing Group was Chen Songqing. HSBC and British-owned groups were just shareholders. As long as Lin Baicheng If you persist, there is still a high possibility that the Hong Kong government will investigate the Jianing Group.

Although it is impossible to investigate the Jiani Group all the time, after all, it is impossible for HSBC and the British capital to watch, but a door-to-door investigation is enough. After all, the Jiani Group itself has a big problem. As long as the problem is found, HSBC and the British capital will There is no way to intervene.
