Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Friday afternoon, Los Angeles time.

The negotiations between Haruko Mouri and Wade Thomas reached an agreement, and Goldman Sachs and other institutions purchased shares of Galaxy Games without waiting for the trial operation results of the arcade "1942" to be released.

The price negotiated by the two parties was for Lin Baicheng to sell 20% of the shares of Galaxy Games at a market value of US$2.47 billion. At a 95% discount, Lin Baicheng was able to obtain US$494 million in cash.

In addition, Goldman Sachs will separately evaluate the listing price of Galaxy Games. The company will conduct a road show with a public offering price of no less than US$14. The specific public offering price will have to wait for Goldman Sachs to re-evaluate.

Although the negotiations were successful and the two parties signed the contract, the transfer of shares and payment were not carried out immediately but were completed within a week.

In this way, institutions such as Goldman Sachs can actually observe the market performance of the arcade "1942", which will be put into trial operation tomorrow, and decide whether to buy shares.

Regardless of the contract signed now, if the market performance of "1942" is average, then Goldman Sachs and other institutions will definitely not mind tearing up the contract and pretending it does not exist. At most, they will file a lawsuit with Lin Baicheng. It's better than buying shares at a high market value.

Of course, if the arcade game "1942" is popular in the market, then Goldman Sachs and other institutions will definitely be willing to buy shares immediately, and Lin Baicheng can also choose to tear up the contract and take advantage of the opportunity to demand a higher price.

But if he does this, Lin Baicheng will definitely offend Goldman Sachs and other institutions. Not to mention whether Galaxy Games can still be listed on the US stock market, even several of his companies may be affected, so he will definitely not do that.

Goldman Sachs and other institutions can tear up the contract, but Lin Baicheng cannot. This is very annoying, but there is no way. If you want to make money on someone else's territory, sometimes it is impossible not to compromise.

In the evening, after Lin Baicheng returned to the villa, he learned about the negotiation from Maori Haruko.

Lin Baicheng said: "It's a good deal with Thomas. Qingzi, please remember to follow up on this matter. You must complete the transaction before next Friday and clear both money and goods."

"Okay, I will follow up on this matter at all times." Maori Haruko responded.

"Um!"

Lin Baicheng nodded, and then said: "Also, I plan to transfer 20% of the shares to Yum Securities before the company goes public. In addition, I also want to give 4% of the shares to my family. Each person has 1% of the shares. I will leave this matter to you, Haruko."

The reason for doing this is that although Lin Baicheng can usually give money directly to his family, it is better for them to have their own assets, and they will definitely feel more comfortable using their own money.

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Maori Haruko nodded, but she was filled with envy in her heart. The market value of Galaxy Game Company should not be exaggerated. Even if it is 2.6 billion US dollars, 1% of the shares is equivalent to 26 million US dollars. When converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is nearly 110 million, and when converted into Japanese yen, it is more than 5 billion.

If this were the case before, Maori Haruko knew that she would never earn so much money no matter how many years she worked, even if she was a top student.

As for now, Maori Haruko feels that she is not hopeless. As long as she keeps following the tycoon Lin Baicheng, she will definitely benefit. US$26 million is definitely not out of reach for her.

"As for the equity incentives for Galaxy Games' management and employees, I have already asked Charlie Yuan to do this, so there is no need to say more."

"I will also not forget you assistants such as Qingzi, Bella, and Yufeng, as well as the high-level management of various companies such as Wei Li and Huang Xizhao. I have decided to have different numbers of share purchase rights based on your levels. , taking Huang Xizhao and Wei Li as an example, they can purchase 50,000 shares of Galaxy Games."

Lin Baicheng paused as he spoke, looked at Maori Haruko and said: "Since you are doing things for me, I will certainly not forget you if good things happen to you, and the price of the shares you purchase will be cheaper, only 10 US dollars per share, which is better than Goldman Sachs and others. Institutional purchases are even cheaper.”

"Cheng-kun, thank you, everyone will be very happy."

Haruko Mouri couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She bought the shares at a price lower than the purchase price of Goldman Sachs and other institutions. They had a great chance of making money.

"I don't have to force myself to buy the shares. Anyway, I gave you the authority. You can decide whether to buy it or not. Although I don't think that the stock price of Galaxy Games will fall below 10 US dollars within half a year after it goes public, but everything is possible, so it won't happen. For this kind of thing, if you lose money, you will blame me as the boss."

Lin Baicheng said aloud that he gave up some benefits in order to win people's hearts, but whether he could seize the opportunity depended on himself. He would not hand out money to the door.

Maori Haruko immediately said: "Everyone knows this truth. Cheng-kun, you have sold the stock price to everyone at such a cheap price. If we actually suffer losses, it is our own business. After all, it is our decision whether to buy or not, and you have not reluctantly."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, and then said: "You assistants, I will give the three of you, Haruko, who first worked for me, the purchase authority of 30,000 shares each, and Harveys, others, and Qin Lan each have the purchase authority of 10,000 shares. , Qingzi, what do you think?"

"It's already quite a lot."

Maori Haruko nodded and said: "We who were the first to work for you, Cheng-kun, have only been working for you for just over a year. Such rewards are already quite a lot."

Seeing that Maori Haruko had no objection, Lin Baicheng looked at her and said, "Haruko, in addition to your assistant's 30,000 share purchase authority, I will give you an additional 70,000 share purchase authority, but I don't know if you want it or not."

"Of course I want it, thank you, Cheng-kun."

Maori Haruko knew the reason for the extra 70,000 shares of purchase authority. She had no reason to refuse. This was an additional gain after her efforts. She would not refuse this extra benefit.

"Makoto-kun, can I ask you another favor?"

"you say."

Lin Baicheng nodded.

"A total of 100,000 shares at $10 each would cost a total of $1 million to buy, and I don't have that much money."

Haruko Mouri said with some embarrassment that although her income was not low, it was not high enough to earn an extra million US dollars a year, so she did not have that much money to buy 100,000 shares of Galaxy Games.

"It's a small thing, I can lend you the money."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This was nothing to him.

"Cheng-kun, you don't need to lend me money."

Maori Haruko immediately waved her hand and said: "I can borrow money from the bank, as long as you guarantee my loan, Cheng-kun."

Although asking Lin Baicheng to help as a guarantee is also a help, this and borrowing money from Lin Baicheng are two different concepts. Maori Haruko does not want to borrow money from Lin Baicheng.

"fair enough."

Lin Baicheng had no objection. Considering the relationship between the two of them, if there was another loan relationship, Maori Haruko would be uncomfortable.
