Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

(Not modified yet)

Henry still took Lin Baicheng's request very seriously.

Therefore, a few days later, Lin Baicheng received good news from Henry. Henry has conveyed the invitation to him, and Youde has agreed to meet with him in private. Youde will inform him of the specific time and place of the meeting.

This is a good start. Even if the wooing is not successful after the meeting, at least there is a chance to woo them in person.

It's another Saturday.

After a week, Lin Baicheng and Youde met again.

However, the place where they met this time was not the Fanling Stadium. Apart from the two of them, there was no third person around, so it was highly concealed.

"Lin Sheng, you asked me to meet through Director Henry. What's the matter?"

After meeting, there was no politeness and you had to ask directly.

Lin Baicheng was also very direct. He said, "Sir, I want to make friends with you."

"oh?"

Youde was not surprised by this.

Lin Baicheng saw this and said, "I wonder if Sir has heard of Yum Fund?"

"Have heard a little bit."

You De does know about the Yum Fund. He also knows that many people in the Hong Kong government hand over their money to the Yum Fund for management. The Yum Fund is affiliated to Yum Securities Company, which is a company under the name of Lin Baicheng, which is equivalent to handing over the money to Lin Baicheng for management. .

The key is that the return rate of Yum Fund is very high, bringing huge returns to investors. Hong Kong government officials have made a lot of money from their investments.

The point is that the money earned here is clean money that can withstand inspection and can be used openly. This is very important.

Why do you think Lin Baicheng is difficult to deal with? In addition to Lin Baicheng's own wealth and the mainland's support for Lin Baicheng, it is also because if he touches Lin Baicheng, it will be equivalent to affecting the interests of the important officials of the Hong Kong government, and they cannot remain indifferent.

Lin Baicheng continued: "Yum Fund is a fund I established with the purpose of creating wealth for investors. So far, I have done pretty well. The profits I bring to investors every year are no less than 30%. I I think this rate of return should be quite high.”

"Lin Sheng is right. The return rate of 30% is indeed very high."

He especially agrees with this. He has also invested in some bonds and stocks in London, and the annual return on these investments is only 7%, which is not bad at all.

Lin Baicheng nodded: "Now the Yum Fund has been closed, but I am very willing to make Jazz as a friend, so if Jazz has spare money to take care of, he can invest in the Yum Fund. The closed period of the Yum Fund is three years, but time has passed Two years have passed, and it will expire in May next year, and then Jazz’s investment can be redeemed.”

Since the purpose is to win over Youde, asking Youde to invest cannot mean that Youde waits for another year, and the closed period cannot be as long as three years.

Lin Baicheng was very satisfied with just one year. At least during this year, You De was unlikely to suppress him. Even if he faced pressure from above to suppress him, he would still inform him or show mercy.

"Yum Fund's return rate is indeed very high, which is exciting."

After a moment of silence, Youde finally spoke up, but Lin Baicheng, who heard this, knew that there must be a "but" twist.

"However, since the closing period of Yum Fund is three years, and I jumped in the queue midway, people who didn't know it thought that Lin Sheng and I had some behind-the-scenes deal, which was not a good thing for both of us. I accepted Lin Sheng's kindness. Forget it about investing. If Yum! Fund still raises funds next year, then I will consider whether to invest before it’s too late.”

"As expected, I refused."

Lin Baicheng thought to himself that he was not surprised at all. If You De could be attracted by 30% of the annual income, he would be underestimating You De, the Governor of Xiangjiang.

"Since Jazz said this, I won't force it. Just as Jazz said, Yum! Fund is in a closed period. It is really not good for Jazz to jump in and invest temporarily."

"That's what Lin Sheng said."

Youde nodded, feeling a little surprised.

You De knew that Lin Baicheng was trying to win him over with benefits. Logically speaking, after he refused once, Lin Baicheng should continue to increase his efforts, instead of trying to win over him once and then not again, which seemed very insincere.

Youde really didn't think about accepting Lin Baicheng's benefits, but Lin Baicheng tried to win her over once and then stopped trying. This made Youde feel looked down upon, and he felt offended.

At this moment, Lin Baicheng said: "Since Sir thinks Yum Fund is inconvenient, how about I set up another fund? I plan to set up this fund overseas and invest the funds in the United States, so that I can try to avoid If more people know about it, as long as Jazz doesn't tell it, only you and me will know."

You De couldn't help but frown: "Lin Sheng, are you trying to bribe me?"

"Jazz was joking."

Lin Baicheng laughed when he heard this and said: "I will definitely not do such a thing as bribery. Since I said it was to establish a fund, it is real investment, using the fund's funds to create wealth for investors. I personally don't care much about investment. Someone with experience and confidence.”

"I have also heard about Lin Sheng's investment ability."

Youde, who has read Lin Baicheng's information, knows very well why the company's market value has soared to its current level after Lin Baicheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa.

After Lin Baicheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa, he used Hutchison Whampoa's funds to invest in long gold futures, which brought Hutchison Whampoa huge profits of billions of Hong Kong dollars and directly increased the company's market value by more than ten times. The market value of HK$40 billion has been maintained for a long time.

Although Hutchison Whampoa's current market value has fallen below HK$40 billion, it is not far from the market value of HK$40 billion. With a market value of over HK$35 billion, it is still one of the companies with the largest market value among listed companies in Hong Kong. .

Lin Baicheng said: "The market in the United States is very large and can accommodate huge amounts of funds. There are also a variety of investment methods. Every transaction in fund investment will be recorded, regardless of profit or loss, so this is a normal investment, and it is It’s very clean money that’s taxable.”

"I want to apologize to Lin Sheng. I misunderstood."

You De nodded when he heard this. He also knew that Lin Baicheng would not be able to bribe him and hand over the handle to him.

Lin Baicheng looked at Youde and said: "Sir, I am very confident in investing in this area. If Sir is willing to invest, as long as the investment does not exceed 10 million U.S. dollars, I am confident that within one year, I will be able to invest in it." People create twice as much profit.”

"In other words, how much money do you invest, how much money can you make in a year?"

While You De was surprised, he was also somewhat suspicious, feeling that Lin Baicheng was bragging or deceiving him.

Yes, Lin Baicheng has several examples of making profits on investment, but no one can guarantee that he will make money every time he invests. There will always be a surprise, let alone a high rate of return that doubles a year. .

"Yes, but you can't invest too much capital. If the capital amount is too high, it will be difficult to operate and the rate of return will not be as high as doubling in a year."

It is true that Lin Baicheng wants to give money to Youde so as to win over Youde, but there is a limit to the amount of money he can give. It is impossible to say that if Youde invests 100 million U.S. dollars, he will make 100 million U.S. dollars for Youde in one year.

This has nothing to do with whether Youde has 100 million US dollars in funds, but the price is too high. Even if you want to win over Youde, there is a bottom line. The price paid is too high to be worth it.

Henry still took Lin Baicheng's request very seriously.

Therefore, a few days later, Lin Baicheng received good news from Henry. Henry has conveyed the invitation to him, and Youde has agreed to meet with him in private. Youde will inform him of the specific time and place of the meeting.
