Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

In the evening, Lin Baicheng called Isabella and Bill Harveys to the villa.

Including Mouri Haruko, the four of them went to the study.

Lin Baicheng told the three people about today's conversation with Wade Thomas and expressed that he wanted to hear what they thought.

The three of them looked at each other, and Haruko Mouri was the first to speak up: "Chairman, whether you want to sell some shares before the company's listing road show depends mainly on what you think of the company's stock price prospects after its listing. If it is extremely If you are optimistic about it, then you don’t have to sell the shares.”

"However, Chairman, you hold nearly 80% of the shares of Galaxy Games after its listing. I personally think that you can still sell some shares. This will not only convert the shares into cash in advance, but also create more powerful shareholders in the United States. Galaxy Games also has benefits.”

Lin Baicheng nodded and looked at Isabella and Bill Harveys.

"Chairman, I also agree to sell some shares first, and after the company is listed, it is best for the chairman to slowly reduce the shares or transfer the shares to a secret family organization. It is best not to leave too much money on the surface. Excessive shares are not a good thing.”

Not only did Isabella agree to sell the shares, but she also gave advice.

"Unless you, Chairman, immigrate to the United States, if the market value of Galaxy Games increases significantly in the future and you hold a large number of shares, it will not be a good thing for you as a foreigner."

"Therefore, since we have to sell shares, it is better to sell some now. If Galaxy Games does not perform as expected after it goes public, selling some shares first can also bring back a lot of funds."

Bill Harveys then said aloud, although the latter sentence was a bit unpleasant, it was not impossible.

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded after hearing this: "So, you all think it would be better if I sell some shares first?"

"Yes, Chairman."

Haruko Mouri, Isabella and Bill Harveys all nodded.

"Then, for now, just pretend I'm willing to sell some shares first."

Lin Baicheng said to the three of them: "How many shares do you think it is appropriate for me to sell? And at what price is it appropriate to sell them?"

Isabella said: "Chairman, you hold nearly 80% of the shares, so I think you can sell 20% of the shares. After all, the public issuance of shares must be deducted in proportion. If you sell 20% of the shares now, you will only have 20% left after the listing. If the price falls by 16%, if too little is sold, those institutions will have even less left.”

"Chairman, the more you sell now, the fewer shares you need to take out for a public offering."

Bill Harveys then said, having the same idea as Isabella.

Maori Haruko said that if Lin Baicheng was quite confident about the prospects of Galaxy Games after its listing, he could sell less, and he could only sell 15% of the shares.

"What about the price?"

Lin Baicheng did not say how many shares he wanted to sell, but asked about the price of the shares sold.

"Originally, Galaxy Games was preparing to go public for a roadshow with a market value of US$2.6 billion. If Goldman Sachs and other institutions want to buy shares, the price will definitely not be higher than the market value of US$2.6 billion. Chairman, you must be mentally prepared for this." Bill Ha Weiss said first.

"I know, I definitely need a certain discount, but the price is too low and I won't accept it."

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng expressed that he understood and he had been mentally prepared for this for a long time.

"2.34 billion U.S. dollars, which is the market value after discounting 10% from 2.6 billion U.S. dollars."

Haruko Mouri said: "I think we can negotiate based on this. It is best to reach a market value of US$2.4 billion for the shares to be sold, but it is also acceptable to sell at a market value of US$2.3 billion. US$2.3 billion is the bottom line."

"I can accept the bottom line of a market capitalization of $2.3 billion."

Lin Baicheng thought about it and decided that the 185% discount was still acceptable.

Bill Harveys said: "There is a 10% discount, and I think institutions such as Goldman Sachs should be able to accept it."

Isabella then echoed.

"Well, the matter is settled like this. I have decided to sell the shares at a market value of no less than 2.3 billion U.S. dollars. I can sell 15% or 20%, depending on how much Goldman Sachs and other institutions can absorb."

Lin Baicheng made a decision after thinking for a while. It might be better to sell some shares now and get some cash to develop other companies.

Even if Galaxy Games' stock price rises sharply after it goes public, it can still make money by developing other companies, and providing more jobs can increase its influence.

Lin Baicheng felt that Isabella and the others were right. He was a foreigner after all, and holding too many shares in a listed company was not a good thing. If this is a rubbish company, forget it, but if this company is very profitable and has a very high market value, someone will definitely be jealous and cause trouble for him, a foreigner.

"I'll leave this matter to you, Harveys."

Lin Baicheng paused as he spoke, shook his head and said, "Harveys, you should focus on Xingyue Electronic Game Company in the near future, and leave this matter to Haruko."

"Chairman, I will try my best to negotiate a higher price."

Maori Haruko couldn't help but feel happy when she heard this. Lin Baicheng entrusted her with such an important matter, which meant that Lin Baicheng valued her. She wanted to do more of this kind of thing as possible.

"Chairman, please let me assist Assistant Maori."

Isabella's heart sank, but she didn't show it.

Before Lin Baicheng said anything, Maori Haruko said first: "No, I can lead the team to do this well. New Century Software Company still needs you as a manager, Isabella."

"Are you sure there's no problem?"

Lin Baicheng looked at Maori Haruko.

Maori Haruko nodded heavily: "Chairman, I will not let you down."

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you."

Seeing what Maori Haruko said, Lin Baicheng chose to believe in Maori Haruko's ability.

"It seems that Mouri Haruko is indeed more trusted by the chairman."

Bill Harveys, who was observing from the side, couldn't help but secretly thought to himself, secretly warning himself that it was best not to offend Haruko Moori, otherwise he would be unlucky if he did not do well.

Now that Lin Baicheng has made a decision, Isabella certainly can't say anything else, but she can't help but feel a little depressed.

Isabella, Haruko Maori, Bill Harveys and others actually have a secret competition. No one is convinced by the other, and at the same time, everyone wants more power in their hands.

Lin Baicheng values ​​​​Moori Haruko more, which is certainly not a good thing for Isabella.

Lin Baicheng actually knew about the competition among his subordinates, but as long as it didn't affect his work, he wouldn't say anything.

As for trusting Maori Haruko more, that is a matter of course. After all, Maori Haruko has another level of identity as his woman.

Lin Baicheng hasn't really regarded Maori Haruko as a woman who can accompany him throughout his life, but when several assistants compare with each other, Lin Baicheng trusts Maori Haruko more, which is human nature.
