Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

The next day, Saturday afternoon.

Lin Baicheng invited Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang, Zheng Yudong and Guo Henian to his house for afternoon tea and a small gathering. Except for the four of them, no one else was invited. He has cooperated with these four people, so his relationship is naturally closer.

In the garden of the villa, apart from Lin Baicheng and others, there was only one Mouri Haruko. Maori Haruko was making tea for Lin Baicheng and others. Although she was not a master of tea ceremony, she was still involved in the profession. She went to learn it for a period of time.

"Guys, please have some tea!"

Maori Haruko made tea and poured it, then stood next to Lin Baicheng.

"The aroma of tea hits your nose. Just by smelling the aroma, you can tell that this is definitely good tea."

Zheng Yudong smelled it and picked up the tea cup.

"This should be Longjing, and it's a good one."

Bao Yu, who loves tea, guessed the type of tea just after smelling it.

"Bao Sheng is absolutely right. This is the West Lake Longjing, and it is also the Mingqian Longjing."

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded, and his Mingqian Longjing tea was not grown by ordinary farmers, it was also considered top-grade among Mingqian Longjing teas. These teas were given to him by Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan, the two presidents of Xinhua News Agency. Of course, they could not give him ordinary tea. That would be a slap in their own faces.

"It's really good tea!"

While sipping the tea, Guo Henian couldn't help but nodded in admiration.

Huo Yingdong said aloud: "Yuqian Longjing of this quality is very rare, and not much can be harvested every year."

Guo Henian couldn't help but said: "Good things are inherently rare."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly: "The two presidents Wang and Li who gave me these teas also said so."

Bao Yugang said with a smile: "It turned out to be a gift from the two presidents of Xinhua News Agency. It seems that I will ask them for some next time."

"Brother Bao, if you want it, the two presidents will definitely not refuse."

Huo Yingdong is very sure of this.

Bao Yugang didn't refute when he heard this, because he knew it was the truth, and the two presidents would definitely be willing to send some tea to make him a good friend.

"Speaking of the two presidents of Xinhua News Agency."

Zheng Yudong looked at several people and said: "Two presidents visited me a while ago and said that the mainland is about to establish diplomatic relations with the United States. In the future, it will focus on economic construction. Next year, people from the China Merchants Bureau will come to invite us Hong Kong businessmen. Go invest in the mainland. What do you think about this?"

"There is no doubt about my attitude, so I won't say more here."

Huo Yingdong said aloud that as a famous red family in Xiangjiang, there was really no need for him to say more. Everyone knew that he would definitely invest in the mainland.

"I'll go over there and invest."

Bao Yugang said in a deep voice: "After all, the mainland is our hometown. Now we can be considered successful. Economically backward countries need our efforts, and there is no reason for us to sit idly by. Furthermore, purely from a businessman's point of view, the mainland market It’s so big, no matter what business you do, I believe you can make money.”

"The problem is the system and political situation on the mainland."

Zheng Yudong expressed the concerns of many people, fearing that after making large investments in the mainland, the political situation would suddenly change and the assets would be confiscated again, which would cause huge losses for everyone.

Guo Henian expressed his opinion: "I personally also tend to invest in the mainland, but Zheng Sheng's concerns are not unreasonable, so I think we can wait and see for a few years to see how the pioneers develop."

"Lin Sheng, you should also be inclined to invest in the mainland, right?"

Bao Yugang looked at Lin Baicheng and said, Lin Baicheng also went to the mainland with them in October, so Lin Baicheng's attitude has already become more inclined.

"Presidents Wang and Li told me about this matter, and I also promised that I would invest in the mainland."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly, and then said: "But in terms of investment scale, it won't be too big at the beginning."

"So, Lin Sheng also has concerns?"

Huo Yingdong asked aloud. As Lin Baicheng was a prominent figure in Xiangjiang, his decisions could affect many people, so he did not want Lin Baicheng to have concerns about his attitude.

"I'm not worried about the political situation in the mainland."

Lin Baicheng shook his head: "Now that the top management over there has made a decision, I believe that the policy will not change easily, so I am not worried about this. It's just that after returning from my trip to the mainland in October, I learned that the current situation in the mainland The exchange rate between the currency and the US dollar is about 2:1, and 1 yuan is equivalent to about 2.1 Hong Kong dollars."

"But in fact, the actual value of the RMB there is not that high, and the exchange rate is a lot artificially high. If we invest heavily from the beginning, we will lose a lot just because of the exchange rate issue."

Although Lin Baicheng wants to support national construction by investing in the mainland and enable himself to make huge profits in the development of the mainland in the next few decades, this does not mean that he is willing to invest heavily even if he suffers huge losses during the capital accumulation stage. In the Mainland, there is absolutely no need for that.

At the beginning, you can just make some investments to express your position. After the exchange rate is not so different from the real exchange rate, it will not be too late to invest heavily.

Besides, the reform at the beginning was about crossing the river by feeling the stones. Even if Lin Baicheng wanted to invest heavily in the mainland, he couldn't do it. His surname was social rather than capitalist, and the company was state-owned. He didn't want to invest outside the special zone. You can invest, but others may not be willing to accept it.

The further step of reform and opening up is joint ventures, and initially joint ventures require the mainland side to take more shares and control the company.

Lin Baicheng didn't know the specific year when overseas investment was actually allowed to be 100% controlled in enterprises. After all, he was just an ordinary person before his rebirth and would not know this specifically. However, with his current status, if the mainland allows Hong Kong companies to hold 100% control of enterprises, he will definitely know about it immediately, and this is when he will really invest heavily in the mainland.

"That's really a problem."

Several people couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.

Even Huo Yingdong thinks this is a problem. He himself doesn't care about it, but he can't represent other businessmen. Businessmen are willing to invest in the Mainland. Except for a few who have feelings for their family and country, most people invest in the Mainland because it is profitable. However, if they suffer huge losses before investing, then how many businessmen are willing to invest in the Mainland? ?

Although Lin Baicheng, Bao Yugang and others have abundant funds and will definitely invest heavily, they are definitely incomparable to the majority of small and medium-sized businessmen combined, so the ideas of small and medium-sized businessmen are also very important.

After everyone chatted for a while about the topic of investing in the Mainland, they stopped talking about it. After all, it was a matter for next year. Whether or not to invest in the Mainland, and how much to invest, will be considered after people from the Mainland Investment Promotion Bureau come to invite them next year.
