Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan could understand, and Lin Baicheng felt relieved.

Lin Baicheng asked the two of them: "Has CITIC started operations now?"

"Already preparing."

Wang Yiping said: "We are now inviting Mr. Lin to become a director of CITIC Corporation, which is part of the preliminary preparations. When the company will start doing things, it depends on the company's chairman, Comrade Rong."

Lin Baicheng nodded when he heard this: "Well, this is a rare opportunity. Now I will tell you my own views on the economy, and I would like to ask you two to convey it to me."

"Mr. Lin, please speak."

Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan were a little surprised when they heard this. This was something they had not expected. However, since Lin Baicheng was going to say something, they would definitely listen carefully and convey it on his behalf. As for CITIC's judgment, it has nothing to do with them. After all, they are in different departments from CITIC.

"Let me just talk about my views on financial investment during the current period."

Lin Baicheng said: "Because of the oil crisis a few years ago, oil prices rose, and the economies of Western countries were seriously affected, leading to an economic crisis. Although the economic crisis has passed now, I think the economies of Western countries will still be affected. Gold is a safe-haven precious metal, so gold prices will still have room to rise, and investing in gold during the current period will bring you considerable profits."

"Then there is Xiangjiang. The country has decided to reform and open up. I personally believe in the country's determination and that it can take back Xiangjiang from the United Kingdom. Xiangjiang is a domestic and international external port and has an important status. As long as the country's reform and opening up are carried out, If our determination remains unchanged, then Hong Kong will definitely benefit and the overall economy of Hong Kong will definitely develop vigorously."

"Among many industries, the real estate industry will have better development prospects. After all, the land area in Xiangjiang is limited. With the rapid economic development and the increase in per capita income, land prices and housing prices will definitely rise accordingly, so investing in the real estate industry will definitely benefit."

Lin Baicheng's words were full of useful information and not perfunctory at all. As for whether CITIC's management would seriously consider his judgment, that was not among Lin Baicheng's considerations. Anyway, he has already said what he should say. If the other party fails to seize the opportunity, it has nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, we will convey your words on your behalf."

Wang Yiping nodded. In terms of economics, he was not an expert, so he would not judge Lin Baicheng's words. He could just convey it on his behalf, and professionals would naturally make judgments at that time.

Li Fuquan then said: "There is no doubt about the determination of domestic reform and opening up to develop the economy, so Hong Kong's economy will also develop at a high speed like Mr. Lin said. It would be great if everyone could see it clearly like you, Mr. Lin." .”

"No matter what, Hong Kong will always be a part of the motherland. I believe more people will choose to support the return."

Lin Baicheng said something aloud, but he actually knew very well in his heart that more people in Xiangjiang wanted to maintain the status quo. Who made the domestic economy not good? By comparison, the people in Xiangjiang naturally felt that their lives were better. I look down on the mainland and don't want to live in poverty.

However, the return of Xiangjiang will not depend on the will of the people of Xiangjiang. The mainland has a bigger fist. Even the United Kingdom has to make concessions, let alone a small place like Xiangjiang.

"The return of Xiangjiang is thanks to the support of patriots like you, Mr. Lin."

Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan also said good things, and everyone carried the sedan chair.

Lin Baicheng smiled: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

After that, the three of them talked about other things.

After chatting for a while, Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan were ready to say goodbye and leave.

When they were about to leave, Lin Baicheng hinted to them that Hutchison Whampoa's stock price would not fall too much and that the stock price would definitely rise sharply this year. I didn’t say anything more detailed, not only because he had an agreement with HSBC, but also because this was a company he controlled. It would be wrong to go into too much detail and make Wang and Li think that he was recommending his own company.

Lin Baicheng didn't have much idea about becoming a director of CITIC Corporation. In his opinion, this matter would not have much impact on him. Given his age, even if he has extraordinary achievements, getting the management of CITIC to trust his judgment is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Lin Baicheng can imagine that the other directors of CITIC Corporation should be no less than fifty years old. These seniors will not think that their abilities are inferior to Lin Baicheng. It is not easy for them to think that Lin Baicheng is better than them in financial investment. .

Therefore, Lin Baicheng didn't have much idea about becoming a director of CITIC Corporation. He would mention it whenever he had the opportunity. He didn't care whether CITIC Corporation could seize the opportunity.

On the other hand, Lin Baicheng decided that it would be better to implement the investment in Shekou Industrial Zone as soon as possible.

That afternoon, Lin Baicheng went to Hong Kong Electric Group. The main reason why I came here is because Lin Baicheng has 100% control over several other companies. Although the control of Hong Kong Electric Group is in the hands of Lin Baicheng, the matter of letting Hong Kong Electric Group invest in Shekou Industrial Zone still needs to be discussed with the management. one time.

Hongkong Electric Group also has Lin Baicheng's office here. He first called Levi's, the company's chief executive.

Lin Baicheng didn't talk around in circles with Levi's and directly talked about the investment.

"Chairman, would it be uneconomical to invest there?"

Levi frowned slightly after hearing this: "The company relies on the Hong Kong government in many places. If the Hong Kong government doesn't like it if it invests in the north, it will do more harm than good. After all, investing there will not see any short-term profits. What's more, I'm worried that after this news is announced, it will have a certain impact on the stock price, and investors will definitely be afraid that the company's investment there will be confiscated by the officials there."

"What you said is not unreasonable, so let's release the news first to test it out."

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said that he did not necessarily want Hong Kong Electric Group to invest in Shekou. Although he, Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan said that Hong Kong Electric Group would invest there, he could completely change his company to invest there. As long as the mainland side could Just see the funds invested. It doesn't matter which company invests.

The reason why he chose to release the news was because Levi's words reminded him that if releasing the news would cause the company's stock price to fall, then he would just buy some at the bottom.

Lin Baicheng currently only holds 38.93% of the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group. He now has a lot of funds on hand and would not mind buying some more stocks to increase his shareholding. Although nearly 40% of the shares are already very safe, the stock price is not high now, so there is no harm in increasing some holdings.

Levis asked: "Chairman, should you test the situation by making an announcement, or should you release the news to reporters?"

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said: "The board of directors will be held tomorrow, and then we will discuss this matter at the board of directors, but we will not vote on the board of directors yet. After the outside world knows the news, the reaction of shareholders will be reflected in the stock price."

"I know what to do."

Levi nodded in understanding.

Since it has been decided to hold a board meeting tomorrow to test out the impact of investing in Shekou on Hong Kong Electric Group, there is no need for Lin Baicheng to talk to other management about this matter.

However, it was a rare visit to HK Electric Group, so Lin Baicheng still called several top management to his office and asked them to report to him in more detail, so that he could have a clearer understanding of HK Electric Group.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Baicheng left Hong Kong Electric Group. After thinking about it, he went to Galaxy Semiconductor Company. He originally planned to go there tomorrow.

Although Galaxy Semiconductor is the parent company of Galaxy Semiconductor, its current scale is not as large as Galaxy Semiconductor, and the factory's production lines are also inherited from Galaxy Semiconductor. There is a large factory area, but the problem is that there are no production lines and workers, and most of it is empty.

This is not because Lin Baicheng does not have the funds to purchase a production line, but because the company's current production line is already large enough and cannot be expanded blindly. The production line can only be expanded after more sales of Xingyue consoles, arcade machines, TVs and other products.

The manager of Galaxy Semiconductor is called Noda Hiroshi. When Lin Baicheng came here, he was the first one he looked for.

"Chairman!"

Hiroshi Noda is a Japanese from his name. He has worked in the semiconductor industry for more than 20 years and was recruited by Lin Baicheng with a high salary. He is not a talent in R\u0026D, but in management. At the same time, he has strong connections in the Japanese semiconductor industry and knows many technical masters.

"Noda, sit down."

Lin Baicheng asked Noda Hao to sit down.

After Noda Hiroshi sat down, Lin Baicheng said: "Noda, I am here to tell you that in addition to the HK$500 million loan just received, Galaxy Semiconductor will receive more funds in the future, at least no less than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. With a total injection of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, you have to recruit more talents for the company and start technology research and development."

"Chairman, please rest assured. I am preparing to report to you tomorrow. I plan to go back to Japan over the weekend to chat with some old friends and recruit them to the company."

Noda Hiroshi paused and asked: "Chairman, in addition to the chip and memory categories that the company currently has, there are other semiconductors. I wonder which area the company should conduct research and development first? With the goal, I can also invite technical talents from related industries.”

Lin Baicheng said in a deep voice: "Tell me what you think."

"The company is currently at the world's advanced level in the memory field, so it just needs to maintain and catch up without investing too much."

"The field of semiconductors includes many subdivisions. Since the company has acquired an integrated circuit manufacturing chain, it should continue to expand its advantages in this area, continue to catch up with the world's advanced levels in design, manufacturing, and packaging and testing, and build on the company's lack of Make certain investments in the fields of semiconductor materials and photolithography machines."

Noda Hiroshi expressed his opinion. In his opinion, only after reaching the world's advanced level in one segment can we expand in other fields.

"It seems we have thought of getting together."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Although he has great ambitions and wants to make a difference in the entire semiconductor field, he doesn't have that much money now, so he must do the same thing until he has the world's most advanced technology in a certain semiconductor segment. After developing technology, invest in other subdivisions and try not to let your company be manipulated.

"Noda, in addition to what you just said, you can also look for R\u0026D talents in displays. The company is also conducting R\u0026D on displays. It does not require immediate results at the beginning, and the investment will not be too large, so we can invite industry experts Dana is the best, but if you can’t be invited, someone with a lower reputation will be able to accept it.”

"Furthermore, don't forget to recruit talents from places such as the United States and South Korea, and try to get more talents to work in Xiangjiang. At present, apart from Xiangjiang, the company only has branches and laboratories in the United States. Technical talents can only choose to work in these two places."

"Okay Chairman, I understand."

Noda Hiroshi first responded, and then said: "Chairman, if possible, I hope the company can establish a branch in Japan. There is always no shortage of companies inviting some highly skilled industry leaders, although you opened The salary is higher, but some people may reject us because they don’t want to leave the country. After all, their income is not low and they are not very short of money.”

"I understand what you mean. If this happens, then set up a branch in Japan."

After Lin Baicheng pondered for a while, he made a decision, even though Galaxy Semiconductor would spend more in this way. But there is no way. If you want to recruit talents, you have to make sacrifices.

"Yes, Chairman!"

Noda Hiroshi can be said to be very happy now, because the company has a lot of funds, which allows him to make great achievements. In addition to the high salary, he joined Galaxy Semiconductor Company because Lin Baicheng promised that he would invest heavily in the semiconductor field, and the company would have great achievements. Now it seems that Lin Baicheng did not fool him, and the company will have more than 300 million US dollars in funds to use. .

Noda Hiroko doesn't care whether it is a loan or Lin Baicheng's own money for the company's use. He only cares about how much money the company can use.

In the field of semiconductors, having money may not necessarily make you successful, but it is absolutely impossible to make a difference without money, so money is very important.

Today's Galaxy Semiconductor Company actually has nothing to look at, so Lin Baicheng did not go to the factory, but discussed the company's future development plan with Hiroshi Noda.

Lin Baicheng has not thought about getting back the money he invested in the semiconductor company right away. He has been mentally prepared not to get back the money for at least ten years. Even if the company's technology reaches the forefront of the world in a certain field and starts to make money, Lin Baicheng will continue to invest the profits in semiconductor development without taking away a penny.

Next year, Lin Baicheng will make huge profits from gold futures. Lin Baicheng is already ready to invest part of it in a semiconductor company. He must support this company and prepare for the future.

Let’s not talk about the distant smartphone era. Semiconductor companies can be used in the upcoming Internet era. Computers contain too much semiconductor technology.
