Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

As time was about to enter June, Lin Baicheng decided to leave the United States after Galaxy Games, Goldman Sachs and other institutions officially completed the share transfer transaction.

If Goldman Sachs and other institutions buy 20% of the shares, the transaction amount will be US$494 million. Of course, Lin Baicheng cannot leave directly and leave the transaction to his assistants. He has to sign it himself.

Before the official trading time came, Lin Baicheng recruited three assistants through interviews, two of whom had just graduated from prestigious universities, and the remaining one was still in the internship stage and had not yet left school.

The two men and one woman are not very old, but after all, they graduated from prestigious universities and are not bad in ability. Lin Baicheng is recruiting assistants this time. The level is really lower than the managers of various companies, so the requirements for them are just that. Not that high anymore.

Although assistants have been recruited, Isabella and Bill Harveys are still Lin Baicheng's assistants, and they are responsible for taking care of the three newcomers. After these three newcomers are brought out, Isabella and Bill Harveys will step down from their assistant positions and work full-time in their respective companies.

On Thursday evening, Lin Baicheng invited Iwasaki Mineryu, who had just arrived in Los Angeles today, to visit his villa in Beverly Hills.

The reason why Iwasaki Mineryu came to Los Angeles today is because the stock transfer transaction of Galaxy Games is tomorrow, and the shares he wants to purchase are not small, so he personally took action and came to Los Angeles the day before the transaction.

Lin Baicheng did not invite more people, only Iwasaki Mineryu, and at the same time asked Mouri Haruko to accompany him to entertain Iwasaki Mineryu.

We are all old acquaintances, so we are not too polite.

"Lin Jun, although I have said it before, I still want to congratulate you. Galaxy Games will be listed with a market value of more than 2 billion US dollars. Your personal wealth will increase significantly."

Iwasaki Mineryu was filled with envy. A company that had been in business for only two years was about to be listed on the US stock market, and it was listed with a market value of more than 2 billion US dollars. More importantly, the boss Lin Baicheng held almost all the shares of the company before it went public, and his wealth increased significantly.

"Thanks!"

Lin Baicheng smiled when he heard this and said: "I am quite confident about the business development of Galaxy Games Company. Therefore, as long as you can hold on to the 1% shares you purchased this time, Iwasaki-kun, I believe in the possibility of losing money." smaller."

Even though Mineryu Iwasaki only purchased 1% of the shares, based on the market value of US$2.47 billion, that is still US$24.7 million, which is more than 5 billion in Japanese yen, which is no longer a small amount.

"Of course I believe in Mr. Lin's ability."

Iwasaki Mineryu nodded solemnly, and then said regretfully: "It's a pity that I can only buy 1% of the shares, and I can't buy more. Otherwise, I would like to buy more. With the shrewdness of Goldman Sachs and other institutions, I believe that after Galaxy Games is listed, The stock price will definitely break through the $20 price level soon, and it is not impossible for it to even go higher."

Capital tends to be profitable. Iwasaki Mineryu doesn't think that Goldman Sachs and other institutions that bought the shares at US$12.35 per share will make Galaxy Games fall below the issue price after listing. They will definitely find ways to increase the stock price and deceive investors, and then wait for half a year. After the lock-up period has passed, you can sell the shares at a higher stock price and make a huge profit.

Therefore, according to Iwasaki Mineryu, the possibility of losing money when buying shares of Galaxy Games is extremely small. Of course, the more you buy, the better.

After hearing this, Haruko Mouri said: "If Iwasaki-san really wants to buy more shares, it is not impossible."

"How do you say this?"

Iwasaki Mineryu couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

It was Haruko Mouri who answered and explained: "Originally, the number of shares purchased by each institution has been determined, but in the past two days, three institutions decided to give up purchasing shares. The proportion of shares that these three institutions originally wanted to purchase was 4 %, after these three institutions gave up buying, Goldman Sachs and another institution took 2% of the share, and now there are still 2% left without anyone buying.”

Lin Baicheng took over and said: "Originally, some of my friends wanted to buy more shares but did not have any shares. Now there is 2% more. However, 0.5% of the 2% has been bought by Smith, so only 1.5% is left. % of the shares.”

"Okay, I bought all the 1.5% shares."

After hearing this, Iwasaki Mineryu immediately said that when Lin Baicheng told him about this a while ago, he was originally going to buy 2% of the shares, but he just didn't have that many shares. Now he has 1.5% more shares, which is equivalent to the original 2%. It's only 0.5% more than the price, and he can still afford this amount of money.

"No, I can't let you buy them all, Iwasaki-kun."

Lin Baicheng raised his hand and said: "I still have some friends in Xiangjiang, so Mr. Iwasaki, you can only buy another 0.5% of the shares at most, and leave the rest to my other friends."

"Since you said so, Mr. Lin, then I will buy another 0.5% of the shares."

Iwasaki Mineryu was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't say much. After all, he couldn't tell Lin Baicheng to ignore his business partners in Xiangjiang. He definitely couldn't say this.

The two then chatted about other topics.

"Lin Jun, when are you going to Tokyo? The residential area built by Bailong Commercial Association is about to be completed. You should find time to go and take a look."

"I was planning to go to Tokyo soon. After all, I have other companies there, and I have to visit them occasionally."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly. In addition to having companies to look at, he also had a beautiful woman named Yamaguchi Momoe who needed comfort.

"Then when you go to Tokyo, you have to tell me."

"The day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will take my private jet to Tokyo together."

"Then I'll take your private plane back, Mr. Lin."

Time passed, and Iwasaki Mineryu stayed in Lin Baicheng's villa for more than an hour before leaving.

On Friday the next day, at the Los Angeles branch of Galaxy Games, Lin Baicheng signed transfer contracts with various institutions to sell 17.5% of his shares at a market value of US$2.47 billion, with a transaction volume of US$432.25 million.

The reason why it is 17.5% of the shares is because there are 2.5% of the shares that will be purchased by Lin Baicheng's assistants and senior executives of various companies, and part by Bao Yugang, Guo Henian, Huo Yingdong, Zheng Yudong, Hu Yinxiang and others.

The shares purchased by these individuals will not be traded today.

Although the transaction of 2.5% of the shares has not been completed, the transaction will be completed in the subsequent period. Therefore, the total funds obtained by Lin Baicheng from this share transaction can be regarded as US$494 million.

However, Lin Baicheng will not get US$494 million in his hands, and taxes will also be paid on the transfer of shares. Fortunately, Galaxy Games has not yet been listed on the U.S. stock market, so it is mainly the Hong Kong side that has to pay taxes.

No matter what, with nearly 500 million US dollars in funds, Lin Baicheng will not be short of funds for the time being.
