Rebirth: From arcade game to business empire

Weston Haig

Soon after the purchase, Lin Mu renovated the place.

Originally, before the original owner of this place was sold, it was necessary to maintain it every year, but with the economic downturn, the cost of this maintenance became higher and higher, so he had no choice but to sell it.

After Lin Mu took it down, he didn't need to spend more energy on large-scale renovation, mainly to change the furniture, and then buy some new furniture.

As for what, antiques of the British aristocracy.

Others, Lin Mu is not very clear, but this Weston Haige definitely does not have any high-end goods, basically all fake and shoddy products.

If you can sell it, you can sell it all.

At the moment, it looks like it's brightly lit.

To be honest, when Jiang Muyan came over with Ma Shimin, they were really shocked, but they didn't expect that their boss would simply buy a castle directly.

"How?"

Lin Mu smiled: "In the future, this will be our base camp, Lao Ma, if you come back for a business trip in the future, I see that you can live here!"

Ma Shimin immediately smiled humbly: "Where, all of this needs Lin Dong's cultivation to be, without Lin Dong, what would happen to me Ma Shimin today!"

"Okay, don't talk about it!" Lin Mu raised his hand and asked the housekeeper to bring red wine and fill it up for the three of them.

Then, Lin Mu raised his glass and said to Ma Shimin: "I am not a British nobleman, I am a Chinese, now, although I am a Justice of the Peace, I don't know much about the etiquette of the Eagle Country, old horse!"

Speaking of this, Lin Mu smiled slightly and continued: "It will be the first battle with Huangpu in the Eagle Country soon, I hope you will do a beautiful job, I believe that you will not let me down, and at the same time, you will not disappoint the company, I will give you a glass first!"

Ma Shimin immediately puffed up his chest, although he is also from the Eagle Country, but he grew up in Xiangjiang since he was a child, although he has been working with Jardine, but he has never been reused.

Until he was dug up by Lin Mu to Huihe Huangpu, he directly served as the foreman.

This trust, this reuse, is enough to make Ma Shimin die for Lin Mu.

"Boss!" Ma Shimin stood up, he took a deep breath: "Boss, there is a saying in Huaxia, those who die for their confidants, the boss is my confidant!"

The two of them touched a glass gently.

After the dinner, in the castle study, Jiang Muyan and Ma Shimin came to Lin Mu's study.

"Boss!"

Ma Shimin handed a plan to Lin Mu, and then quickly said: "This is a plan I made, please take a look!"

Lin Mu took a deep breath and opened the plan casually.

"This is..."Lin Mu paused slightly, and then slowly spoke: "Acquisition of Orange Telecom?"

Today's European telecommunications business is mainly telephone business, and it has not yet been popularized in the era of mobile phones, and the main livelihood of these telecommunications companies is still from telephone bills.

"Not bad!" Ma Shimin said quickly: "I have seen that Ornge Telecom is also a veteran company in Europe, not enough, their operation has some problems, and they cannot form a good competitiveness, so the business is also declining, I think this is the best time for us to acquire it!"

This Orange, Lin Mu really knew that this old telecommunications company was acquired by Li Jiacheng in the 80s, and it was none other than Ma Shimin who presided over the acquisition at that time.

However, it is a pity that Ma Shimin did not preside over the continued development and growth of this telecommunications company in the end, but in the 90s, with the explosion of 2G, when the two major European telecommunications companies competed to the death, he took the opportunity to sell Orange for a sky-high price of 120 billion Hong Kong dollars.

It is also the highest transaction price in the history of Hong Kong.

However, it was also here that Ma Shimin and Huo Jianning had a conflict, which laid the groundwork for Ma Shimin to leave Hutchison Whampoa.

Ma Shimin believes that he can continue to develop technology, expand the space for 2G, increase his competitiveness, and compete with the other two major telecommunications companies in Europe.

However, after discussion, Lao Li thought that selling the company was the best choice for him.

So far!

Ma Shimin and Huo Jianning parted ways, Huo Jianning took the position, and Ma Shimin left.

Now, although, Ma Shimin and Huo Jianning are in their own hands.

However, Lin Mu is more inclined to Ma Shimin.

You still have to have your own core technology.

Now, Ma Shimin has become the big foreman of Huihe Whampoa, and...

The funds and strength should also be stronger, and the most important thing is that the era should be earlier, at least ten years earlier than Li Jiacheng.

Subsequently, I heard Ma Shimin's quick introduction, although no one came to Xiangjiang, but Ma Shimin made a sufficient analysis.

"The funds needed are about 10 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Ma Shimin said slowly: "We can rely on Orange Telecom to give us a quick seizure of the market, the faster we are, the more powerless the opponent will be to fight back against us!"

This idea is similar to Lin Mu's usual thinking.

Make money as soon as possible, and seize the market as soon as possible.

"I'll give you 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, you look at the flowers!" Lin Mu said slowly: "In addition to the acquisition of Orange Telecom, we can also consider other businesses, mainly shopping malls, supermarkets, and our home appliances also need to continue to expand the market in Europe!!"

"Good!"

Ma Shimin couldn't help but clench his fists fiercely, at this moment, he really had an urge to do a big job.

......

MI12!

"So, Lin Mu has already had a relationship with you?" At this moment, someone else was chatting with Sophia again.

"Yes!" Sophia's face was expressionless, and she didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations: "We guessed correctly, Lin Mu does have a huge relationship with the north, but he doesn't reveal much information, it is certain that he has been to the north!"

"In addition, Lin Mu also invited me to Xiangjiang!" Sophia said slowly: "He thinks I have a lot of potential, I also want to ask for instructions!"

"This is a rare opportunity, let's go! Contact Lin Mu and see what other secrets he has not been discovered by us!"

"I won't let MI12 down!" Sophia immediately sat up straight, her purpose had been achieved, and MI12 was taken crookedly.

The more they suspected that Lin Mu had dealings with the north, the more unscrupulous Lin Mu became!
