Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

In a villa in Beverly Hills.

Lin Baicheng called the three executives of Golden Fleece Offshore Company, Vivien Kelly, Doug Gordon and Sun Yiyang, as well as Maori Haruko to the villa.

Lin Baicheng called several people to the study to chat.

"The US$200 million entrusted by Hutchison Whampoa to Wade Investments is to be long gold futures with ten times leverage as I told you. The buying price only needs to be no more than US$250 per ounce, which is too much. When is the specific time to buy? It’s up to you to decide whether it’s appropriate or not, and your judgment shall prevail.”

Lin Baicheng said aloud that Hutchison Whampoa's investment must still be long gold futures, using the same leverage of ten times. It is precisely because of the risk of using ten times leverage that Lin Baicheng asked Hutchison Whampoa to use only US$200 million as the principal. This way, even if there is a wave of adjustments in the international gold price later, Hutchison Whampoa will have the funds to make up the margin.

Vivien Kelly asked: "BOSS, when the price of gold falls to US$200/ounce or US$220/ounce, should we buy in large quantities? Or do we think that the price of gold will continue to fall, so we will continue to buy it first?" Don’t want to buy?”

"When the price of gold falls to around $245/ounce, you must start buying in small amounts. When the price of gold falls to around $240/ounce, you must start to buy in large amounts."

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng thought for a moment and drew a line.

Next year in 1980, the international gold price will soar to a peak of over 850 US dollars per ounce. Now the gold price is fluctuating at 250 US dollars per ounce, an increase of 240%. This is definitely not going to rise all at once. The gold price will definitely slow down in the early stage. It is rising slowly, so we cannot expect that the price of gold will fall below US$200 per ounce in 1979. We can buy it after a slight adjustment.

"Okay, BOSS!"

Vivien Kelly responded aloud and noted the incident.

Nodding, Lin Baicheng said: "Although Hutchison Whampoa's US$200 million principal is entrusted to Wade Investment Company, you still have to cover it with one or more layers of skin to prevent others from easily finding out the details of this fund. What is investment? I think you should be able to do this."

"BOSS, you can rest assured that the US$5 billion investment of the offshore company's own US$700 million principal financing is dispersed into dozens of offshore companies, and then covered with a layer of shell. The investment funds in each shell are not too large. As long as we do it secretly, no one will specifically check, and it will be difficult to find out that these funds are invested by our Golden Fleece Company. Hutchison Whampoa's US$200 million principal will also use similar means, and will not be Someone found it."

The one who spoke out was Doug Goldon. Those who work on Wall Street are professionals in this regard. If the boss doesn’t want his investment to be investigated, then they will make it as perfect as possible. If they don’t do it well, it’s their fault. dereliction of duty.

As long as relevant insiders like them are not exposed, after this investment is completed, they will cancel the dozens of offshore companies they have used, which will only make it harder to find out. If a few more years pass and all the relevant registration documents are destroyed, the location of the registered offshore company will be impossible to find out.

Lin Baicheng looked at the four of them and said: "It's good that it won't be discovered. Only a few people know about the relevant investments. I hope you can keep it confidential."

"Yes, BOSS!"

The four people immediately responded and made their own guarantees. They knew very well that if any news really got out, it would be someone among them who couldn't hide it at all.

Lin Baicheng still believed them. After all, Maori Haruko and others had signed confidentiality agreements. If it was found out who had leaked the information, what awaited that person would be bankruptcy, because they simply could not afford the compensation.

After skipping Hutchison Whampoa's gold futures investment, Lin Baicheng asked Maori Haruko: "Haruko, how many Hutchison Whampoa shares currently held by the offshore company have been sold? How much money has been withdrawn?"

Of course, Lin Baicheng didn't know anything about these. He would learn about them every two or three days, but this time he came to the United States from Xiangjiang, so he needed to ask Haruko Mouri for the latest data.

Haruko Maori manages the daily affairs of the Golden Fleece Company, but she cannot order Vivien Kelly and the three of them regarding the specific operations of investment. However, she has the right to know because Lin Baicheng sent her there to supervise Vivien Kelly. them.

"As of Friday, February 9, a total of 15.8 million shares of the 59.1 million Hutchison Whampoa shares held by the company were sold, with approximately HK$990 million in funds withdrawn, leaving HK$960 million after tax."

"However, because all the funds used for the acquisition of Venus TV Company came from here, Chairman, you took away 150 million US dollars, which is 630 million Hong Kong dollars, so the remaining cash is only more than 300 million. Hong Kong dollars."

Mouri Haruko opened her mouth to tell the specific data one by one. These were all recorded in her mind, and she could tell them clearly without looking at the notebook.

Offshore companies have great advantages in tax avoidance. After a series of tax avoidance, in most cases they only need to pay about 3% of their profits as tax.

It is true that Lin Baicheng only spent 120 million US dollars to acquire Venus TV Company, but he also had to inject a sum of capital into the company. The money was not only used for the company's R\u0026D department to update the company's existing technology. The company's previous month The expenditure also requires money, so Lin Baicheng invested US$30 million in Venus TV Company, for a total investment of US$150 million.

"There are about 330 million Hong Kong dollars left, which is nearly 80 million US dollars."

Lin Baicheng pondered after hearing this. Galaxy Games Company still has about 500 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, so if various home appliance companies need money, they don't have to worry about running out of money, and other companies currently have no place to invest heavily, so these There is no need to keep money specifically.

"The money can also be used to buy long gold futures, using the same ten-fold leverage, and the upper limit of investment principal is US$300 million. After the operating funds for long gold futures are full, if I don't have new funds for the remaining funds, If it is useful, then these funds will be handed over to Vivien and you, this matter will be decided like this for the time being, and we will discuss the details when the time comes."

"BOSS, is the operation method of this US$300 million principal the same as the funds at Hutchison Whampoa?"

Vivien Kelly asked after hearing this.

Lin Baicheng nodded: "Yes, it's the same."

Vivien Kelly and the other three were very happy after hearing this, because if the Hutchison Whampoa stocks held by the offshore company were successfully sold above HK$60, the total funds that could be withdrawn would be no less than 3.5 billion. Hong Kong dollars, and 300 million US dollars is only equivalent to 1.26 billion Hong Kong dollars. The remaining more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars are operated by them, so the funds they operate will be greatly increased.

For Vivien Kelly and others, the amount of funds they have on hand is not only related to their commission, but also related to the direction they can invest in. In some investments, if the funds are too small, it is impossible to enter the market, because a wave of waves can kill the small funds.

The reason why Lin Baicheng only invested US$300 million in principal to be long gold futures was because it took time for offshore companies to sell Hutchison Whampoa stocks. At the same time, he also had to leave some money as a margin. After all, he could not guarantee that the gold price would return in the future. Will there be an adjustment? Although he believes that the possibility of a substantial adjustment in the future is extremely low and almost impossible. After all, the rise in gold prices is a general trend.

However, everything should be done just in case. If there is another wave of major adjustments, and Lin Baicheng did not remember and went long in large quantities, but lacked the margin at the critical moment, then he would be in big trouble. Although it is not impossible to do anything, there is no need to put himself in extreme danger. With his current capital, there is no need to take a big gamble.

After chatting for a while, Lin Baicheng asked Vivien Kelly, Doug Gordon and Sun Yiyang to go back first.

After the three people left, Maori Haruko said to Lin Baicheng: "Mr. Cheng, I have already registered the venture capital company you asked me to set up. Several offshore companies serve as the company's controlling shareholders, and there are also more than a dozen offshore companies under my name." offshore company, but the manager responsible for venture capital is still being found.”

"Um."

Lin Baicheng heard this and said, "You are the only one who knows that I am the behind-the-scenes controller of this company, right?"

Maori Haruko nodded: "Yes, I did this myself."

Lin Baicheng reminded aloud: "Very good. In the future, the funds transferred to this company's account will be transferred several times. Try to prevent people from finding out that this company is related to me. You'd better not be exposed."

"yes!"

Haruko Mouri nodded to express her understanding. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Makoto-kun, is it necessary to keep this secret when establishing this pioneering technology venture capital company?"

"It's necessary. As for the reason, Haruko, you will know later."

Lin Baicheng said solemnly, but he had no intention of explaining to Maori Haruko.

Lin Baicheng, a venture capital company, certainly has his reasons for being so secretive.

To put it simply, Lin Baicheng will definitely invest in well-known companies such as Yahoo, Google, and Amazon in the future. If he only has shares in one or two of these companies, forget it, but if he owns a large number of shares in companies with a market value of tens of billions and hundreds of billions of dollars, I also know that the White House and the American consortium will not let him make the money as he wishes.

Therefore, a secretive venture capital company is very necessary. It invests in these well-known companies through dozens of companies, making it impossible to find out the origins of these investment companies, so that he can make the money with peace of mind.

"Qingzi, the venture capital manager you are looking for does not need to have great experience in selecting targets. The main thing is to have strong communication skills. When I ask him to invest in a certain company, he must be able to get the founder of the company to accept his investment. , allowing the company to hold shares in the company.”

"Makoto-kun, I took note of it."

Mouri Haruko nodded in agreement.

Lin Baicheng: "I will inject 10 million US dollars into the venture capital company at the beginning. Before I have no target to invest, these funds can be used by him to invest in companies he thinks can develop. Of course, you need to do the necessary review Well, it definitely can’t be just what he says to invest.”

Maori Haruko nodded and said: "I will do a good job in the review."

Lin Baicheng said everything that needed to be said, and after chatting for a while, the two walked out of the study.

During lunch, the bodyguard sent by Lin Baicheng to pick up Demi Moore brought Demi Moore to the villa.

Lin Baicheng, Maori Haruko and Demi Moore ate together. Maori Haruko and Demi Moore were not Lin Baicheng's official girlfriends, so there was nothing to avoid.

"Demi, how are you doing?"

"When I get the chance, I go on catwalks. The rest of the time I just study acting."

"How are you doing with your acting skills?"

Lin Baicheng asked, he paid for Demi Moore's acting training class, and he also paid for the rent of the apartment where she currently lives.

Lin Baicheng did not let Demi Moore live in his villa, nor did he give Demi Moore too much money. The two were just trading, and they had not known each other for a long time. He would not give Demi Moore all of a sudden. Moore has too many benefits.

Demi Moore was a little unhappy when she heard this: "The teacher in the training class said that my talent is average. If I don't learn acting skills well, I will only become a flower vase in the future."

"Acting skills are necessary, but it is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the opportunity."

Lin Baicheng expressed relief: "I have told Lan Xing of Morning Star Pictures that as long as the company has filming, I will definitely give you a role. The better your acting skills, the more important the role, so you have more opportunities to film. , you study and film at the same time, I believe your acting skills will be perfected sooner or later."

"Thank you, Alan!"

Demi Moore was very happy after hearing this. If she hadn't been eating, she would have kissed Lin Baicheng's face to express her gratitude.

Although Demi Moore used to be a model, she is very aware of the importance of opportunities. She is not the only one who studies acting in the training class. She also knows the importance of opportunities from other people. Therefore, Lin Baicheng’s words are very meaningful to her. The best guarantee for the future, her little contribution was nothing at all. It was just that she couldn't find other men when she was with Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng not only has an agreement with Demi Moore, but also with Maori Haruko. As long as they maintain a male-female relationship with him, then they cannot find other men, and if they do not want to continue the relationship, then they can Tell him in advance and he won't be able to control what they want to do at that time.

Lin Baicheng knew very well that he could not control all the women who had a relationship with him, but he did not want to have a green hair, so when they had a relationship with him, all women could not find other men, and they would no longer be able to control them after they were disconnected from him. .

"This is what I should do."

Lin Baicheng smiled slightly. Demi Moore sacrificed her youth, so he should pay her back.

Not only is Demi Moore paid, but Haruko Maori is also paid. Her reward is that Lin Baicheng trusts her more, knows more about Lin Baicheng, and Lin Baicheng will promote her to a high position. As for the monetary reward, it is not much.

However, a little money is not what Maori Haruko pursues. Unless Lin Baicheng gives a lot, she will be more concerned about her career pursuits, which is what she wants now.
