Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Tokyo airport.

Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Mineryu led some people out of the VIP channel.

"Chairman!"

Lin Baicheng's assistant came to pick him up with his bodyguard.

"Iwasaki-kun, let's separate here first."

Lin Baicheng said to Iwasaki Mineryu.

Iwasaki Mineryu nodded: "Well, let's have dinner together tomorrow night, and I will bring Seiko Matsuda with me then."

"Okay, see you tomorrow night."

Lin Baicheng nodded and left with the assistant bodyguards.

In the parking lot, Lin Baicheng's extended Lincoln was parked there, and the bodyguard opened the door for him.

"Makoto-kun!"

Yamaguchi Momoe was in the car.

"Keiko!"

Lin Baicheng got into the car and was not surprised that Yamaguchi Momoe did not pick him up at the airport.

This year, Yamaguchi Momoe has become even more famous in Japan and seems to be on the verge of becoming a superstar. Therefore, her relationship with Lin Baicheng is certainly not suitable for the outside world to know.

If the outside world knew that Yamaguchi Momoe was dating a Xiangjiang person, it would definitely cause an uproar, which would be of no benefit to either Yamaguchi Momoe or Lin Baicheng.

This is based on the fact that Lin Baicheng and Yamaguchi Momoe are in a normal relationship. If the outside world knows that Yamaguchi Momoe is just Lin Baicheng's lover, the impact will only be greater.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng still understood that Yamaguchi Momoe did not go to the airport to pick him up.

The car drove away from the airport.

In the car, Yamaguchi Momoe looked at Lin Baicheng and said, "Cheng-kun, how many days are you going to stay here this time?"

"I have nothing to do in the company here, so I can't stay for many days, but I think I can come for a week."

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said that he had nothing to do with his company here, but there was Seiko Matsuda who he needed to meet.

If Seiko Matsuda could be eaten, Lin Baicheng decided to stay with Seiko Matsuda for a few days, so he would stay in Tokyo for a few more days.

"A week? That's not too short."

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded when she heard this, and then said: "Makoto-kun, I want to talk to you about my career."

"Your career? Let's talk about it when we get back."

Lin Baicheng was slightly surprised when he heard this, and secretly guessed what Yamaguchi Momoe wanted to say to him, and why he suddenly wanted to talk to him about this topic.

Time passed slowly as the two chatted, and soon they returned to the villa.

After returning to the villa, Lin Baicheng took a shower first, and then chatted with Yamaguchi Momoe in the bedroom.

"Keiko, you said you wanted to talk to me about your career, let's talk now."

"Um!"

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded and said: "Regarding my contract, although Iwasaki-san has negotiated with Sony Records, as my fame has grown, Sony Records has become more and more reluctant to let me go unless our company is willing to pay huge compensation for me. gold."

Capital is profit-seeking, and Iwasaki Mineryu is not a major shareholder of Sony Records. He can rely on his face to ask friends for help, but when the benefits are large enough, his face is of no use.

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but ask: "How long does your contract last?"

"Because it was a newcomer signing with Sony Records, the contract period is relatively long and will not expire for several years." Yamaguchi Momoe replied.

"Then do you want to stay at Sony or transfer your contract to our company?"

Lin Baicheng asked aloud, it would be better for Yamaguchi Momoe to decide on this matter.

"Cheng-kun, if possible, I would like to quit the entertainment industry and move behind the scenes."

Yamaguchi Momoe hesitated and said that she had considered this decision for a long time. She wanted to be an ordinary person more than the fame of a star. In the past, she had no choice but to enter this industry to make money. Now that she has more choices, she wants to be herself.

"Quit the entertainment industry?"

Lin Baicheng was surprised at first when he heard this, and then nodded thoughtfully. If he remembered correctly, in the history before rebirth, Yamaguchi Momoe had quit the entertainment industry early, and now she has just returned to her original trajectory.

Some people want to be celebrities and like the glory of celebrities, but some people only regard celebrities as a tool to make quick money. Once they make enough money, they choose to quit the industry. Obviously, Yamaguchi Momoe is this kind of person.

"If you want to quit the entertainment industry, then quit the entertainment industry. I support you."

Lin Baicheng had no objection to this matter. Even if Yamaguchi Momoe quits the entertainment industry and loses her star aura, he still likes her. As long as she doesn't choose to leave, he is willing to spend money to support her.

"Thank you, Makoto-kun!"

Momoe Yamaguchi couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Only with the support of Lin Baicheng, she would not have to worry about the future of herself and her family. She would have the capital to quit the entertainment industry. Otherwise, even if she wanted to quit, she would have no choice but to continue in order to make money. Sing.

"You don't have to be too polite with me, Keiko."

Lin Baicheng held Yamaguchi Momoe's waist and kissed her on the face.

Yamaguchi Momoe said: "Although I say I want to quit the entertainment industry, I won't quit immediately. Instead, I will slowly stop releasing albums and reduce my activities. If I sing in the future, I will sing when I feel like it."

"You can take singing as a hobby in the future."

Lin Baicheng nodded in agreement, and then said: "Since you have decided to withdraw from the circle, you'd better learn more, especially in terms of management. Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd. will definitely be left to you in the end. Iwasaki-kun and I They all have other careers.”

For Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Mineryu, Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. is just a small company. Even if the company's market value exceeds 100 million US dollars or more in the future, it will still be considered a small company to them. Therefore, management This company will be handed over to Yamaguchi Momoe, one of the three shareholders.

"I will."

Yamaguchi Momoe nodded to express her understanding that she had planned this.

"Okay, let's go out."

Having said all that needed to be said, Lin Baicheng took Yamaguchi Momoe's hand and walked out of the bedroom.

The next morning, Yamaguchi Momoe left the villa early. She has a full schedule now.

Lin Baicheng's two assistants, Sato Wataru and Chiba Nanako, came to the villa to give Lin Baicheng a more detailed report on Bailong Commercial Club, Zhiyin Comic Publishing Company, Baihuifeng Co., Ltd., as well as Galaxy Games and Xingyue Electronic Game Branch Case.

There is actually nothing much to say about the two branches. The branch of Xingyue Electronic Games has just been established, while the branch of Galaxy Games is the same as before.

The remaining three companies are Bailong Commercial Co., Ltd., Zhiyin Comic Publishing Company and Baihuifeng Co., Ltd.

Among them, Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. is still only a small company. Of the total investment of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, some of the company's total investment was spent on recruiting people and buying equipment. The company has currently signed several actors and singers, but they are all newcomers and need to be cultivated from scratch. In addition, it is a TV series invested and filmed by the company. The TV series is currently being filmed.

It can be said that Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. is just a newcomer in the entertainment industry, and its capital is not very strong. One billion yen may seem like a lot, but in fact it is just that. If the movies and TV series it invests in fail a few times, the company will not be far away from bankruptcy.

Zhiyin Comics Publishing Company is Lin Baicheng's only company in Japan that is solely owned by him. The company is currently developing quite well. Not only have physical stores almost completed their layout in various cities, they will also begin to expand to county towns in the second half of this year. The most important weekly magazine of the comic company itself is now developing vigorously, and several good original animations have brought a lot of loyalty to the weekly magazine. reader.

Lin Baicheng invested a total of 150 million Hong Kong dollars in this company, and now the company's total assets have exceeded 200 million Hong Kong dollars. It can be said that this company has made Lin Baicheng profitable, and the profits are not small. The increase in the company's total assets is not only due to the increase in the sales of its main business comics and peripheral income, but also because Japan's housing prices have increased a bit. Although the magnitude is not very large, the company's buildings and physical stores account for a large amount of the company's total assets, so there is a slight increase. It can bring about a lot of changes in assets.

Yuta Koyama, the president of Zhiyin Comics Publishing Company, manages the company very well. The expansion of physical stores has always been planned, and the main business of comics has not been left behind. He constantly cultivates new cartoonists and brings more original comic works to the company.

Bailong Commercial Co., Ltd. is a company in which Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Mineryu invested 100 million US dollars each. Not to mention the company's investment in gold futures, a total of 190 million US dollars was used for real estate development, and the land was hoarded. Big pile.

Just to hoard the land, Bailong Commercial Co., Ltd. spent as much as 180 million US dollars. It originally only cost a little over 150 million U.S. dollars, but just over two months ago, Bailong Commercial Association acquired another piece of land. This land was not only large in area, but also in a pretty good location, so it cost almost 30 million U.S. dollars. .

The total capital of Bailong Commercial Co., Ltd. is only 190 million U.S. dollars, and it has spent a little more than 180 million U.S. dollars on land hoarding. However, the company is still engaged in real estate development. The reason why it can do this is because the real estate development is obtained through loans from Mitsubishi Bank. Iwasaki Mineryu's relationship.

There is no real estate company that does not seek bank loans. Only in this way can they make the most profits with the least money.

Bailong Commercial Co., Ltd. is now operating with debt, and the debt is still quite high. It borrowed a total of US$150 million from Mitsubishi Bank and mortgaged all its land. This was through Iwasaki Mineryu's relationship, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to borrow so much money. After all, the land was undeveloped, and it was impossible for the bank to provide such a high proportion of loans.

It is precisely because of the US$150 million loan from Mitsubishi Bank that Bailong Commercial Co., Ltd. has the capital to develop land and build residential areas while continuing to hoard land. That's right, Lin Baicheng asked the company's manager Hirato Sasaki to continue hoarding land and spend money to buy it as long as it was a good piece of land.

It can be said that Lin Baicheng has maximized his debt management. If land prices fall and adjust now, the decline does not need to be too large. Bailong Commercial Association will face loan calls from banks. At that time, even Iwasaki Mineryu's relationship will be useless. The bank will definitely Fear of a huge loan of $150 million turning into bad debt.

The reason why Lin Baicheng dared to let Bailong Commercial Club do this was of course because he had the capital to protect Bailong Commercial Club. Once land prices in Japan adjusted and banks called for loans, he and Iwasaki Mineryu would continue to inject capital into Bailong Commercial Club to keep Bailong Commercial Club. Dragon Commercial Co., Ltd.

It is precisely because of his money that Lin Baicheng dares to play like this. If he only had one company like Bailong Commercial Co., Ltd., even if he knew that land prices in Japan would rise crazily in 1985, he would not dare to play like this. After all, the capital chain of a bad company would be broken, causing the company to Bankruptcy is too risky.

There was nothing to do alone during the day. After listening to the reports of the two assistants, Lin Baicheng asked them to call Zhiyin Comics in advance and said that he was going to come. Since Yuta Koyama has done a good job, he will not do such things as surprise inspections.

When he arrived at Zhiyin Comics Publishing Company, Lin Baicheng first walked around various departments of the company, and then convened an impromptu meeting with the management to listen to their reports or any good suggestions.

After the meeting, Lin Baicheng chatted with Yuta Koyama alone for a while.

Yuta Koyama did a very good job, but Lin Baicheng actually had nothing to say, so he mainly encouraged him. At the same time, he told him that he had the authority to purchase 15,000 shares of Galaxy Games. It was up to Yuta Koyama to decide whether to buy it or not. .

This matter was not urgent, so Lin Baicheng asked Yuta Koyama to think about it for a few days.

Yuta Koyama was very happy to learn about this. He judged that the possibility of losing money by buying shares at a price of US$10 per share was quite small, which meant that the boss Lin Baicheng was giving him a benefit in disguise. However, what troubles him a little is the $150,000 required to purchase the shares, which is not a small amount of money for him.

Later, under the leadership of Yuta Koyama, Lin Baicheng went to the studios of cartoonists. In fact, not all cartoonists have their studios here in the company. Those cartoonists with well-known works can arrange their own studios, usually in their own homes. The assistants go to the cartoonists' homes to work, and the cartoonists also arrange their own time. Arrangement, but there will be editorial supervision, as long as the cartoonist can deliver the manuscript on time.

Only a relaxed environment can allow excellent cartoonists to create classic works.

In the afternoon, Lin Baicheng went to Bailong Commercial Club.

Because they were notified in advance, the company's manager Hirato Sasaki was waiting at the company.

There is actually nothing to see here at Bailong Commercial Club. Many staff are not actually in the company, but have gone to the residential area to be built to do decoration acceptance and other work.

Lin Baicheng and Sasaki Boruto talked about the sales of the company's residential area and the development of the next piece of land, and then there was the matter of hoarding land.

Bailong Commercial Club now sees only expenses but no income. Lin Baicheng, the big boss, is not anxious, but Hirato Sasaki, a wage earner, is a little anxious. Lin Baicheng can see it, so he comforts him with a few words, letting him rest assured and follow the instructions Do his bidding without worrying about his position.

The big boss said so, what else could Boruto Sasaki say. The reason why he is anxious is mainly because he is worried that the company has not yet achieved results and the boss is not satisfied with him. With Lin Baicheng, he will feel relieved.

Of course, Boruto Sasaki also has the authority to purchase shares of Galaxy Games, which is also 15,000 shares. He has the same number of shares as Yuta Koyama, but he actually has the advantage of having more company assets. Otherwise, Yuta Koyama, who does better, should actually have the right to purchase more shares.

Because he had plenty of time, Lin Baicheng also followed Hirato Sasaki to take a look at the almost completed residential area.

In the evening, Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Mineryu contacted again to determine the time and place for dinner tonight. Lin Baicheng still had some expectations for the Seiko Matsuda he was about to meet.
