Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

"Mr. Lin, Director Guo is here."

"Please come in, Mr. Guo."

Lin Baicheng, who learned from the internal phone call that Guo Henian was here, had already guessed what Guo Henian was coming to do.

"Lin Sheng!"

After a moment, Qin Lan came in with Guo Henian.

"Guo Sheng, sit here."

Lin Baicheng invited Guo Henian to sit down on the sofa.

When Qin Lan went out, secretary Chen Huixiang came in with a teapot and made tea for Lin Baicheng and Guo Henian respectively before going out.

After blowing on the hot air, Guo Henian took a sip of tea and said bluntly: "Lin Sheng, the reason why I came to see you is related to the company's stock price. I read the report in "Sing Tao Daily" and it is quite pertinent, but The company's stock price fell sharply today, and someone must be shorting it. Only Lin Sheng knows the specific situation of the company's investment funds. I would like to ask, is the company's investment a profit or a total loss? "

Lin Baicheng did not answer the question, but said: "Guo Sheng, what I can tell you is that if you believe me, you should continue to hold the stock. If you have extra funds, you can even buy the bottom. I am as committed to the company's development as ever." Be confident.”

"Lin Sheng, can't you reveal some details?"

Guo Henian couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Lin Baicheng couldn't believe it with just what he said. After all, this was not a small business.

"Guo Sheng, let me tell you this."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile: "I still hold 49.9% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa Company, and I am the company's largest shareholder. If the company's stock price drops sharply, I will be the one who suffers the most, but I haven't sold even one share yet. Stocks, doesn’t this mean something?”

"That's what Lin Sheng said."

Guo Henian seemed to be nodded suddenly, but in fact he was a little disapproving in his heart, because if Lin Baicheng secretly sold the shares, it would be impossible for no one to find out in a short time. Shareholders announce their shareholding ratio once every three months, which is announced together with the quarterly report. The shareholdings from March to June are announced in July. Now only Lin Baicheng himself knows his own shareholding situation best.

It's just that you can't say any doubts, otherwise you are suspecting that Lin Baicheng is trying to trick him and questioning Lin Baicheng's character. This is completely embarrassing. Guo Henian cannot do this now unless he is sure that Lin Baicheng is trying to trick him. .

"Lin Sheng, I now have no extra funds to increase my holdings of Hutchison Whampoa's stocks. The shares I currently hold have been mortgaged to the bank. When the stock price fell to around 40 Hong Kong dollars, the bank warned me. Now if the stock price drops to If it falls further, the bank will definitely ask me to increase my collateral. If I do, it will have a big impact on my business plan."

"I also understand Guo Sheng's difficulties."

Lin Baicheng nodded understandingly, and then said: "Let's see, if today's closing price of Hutchison Whampoa can return to around 40 Hong Kong dollars, then the stock price will be determined by the market. But if it is far away from around 40 Hong Kong dollars, then I will hold a temporary meeting The board of directors, let Hutchison Whampoa invest in repurchasing some shares tomorrow to give the market some confidence, what do you think?"

"This is naturally the best."

Guo Henian couldn't help but smile when he heard this. As long as Hutchison Whampoa's stock price can remain above 40 Hong Kong dollars, he will tell the bank that there is no need to increase the collateral.

Lin Baicheng expressed relief: "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, as long as you keep holding Hutchison Whampoa's stocks, you will definitely make a fortune."

"Of course I believe Lin Sheng!"

Guo Henian immediately said that although the fact that he came to Lin Baicheng now showed that he did not trust Lin Baicheng that much, there was no loss in saying a few more good words.

Lin Baicheng just smiled when he heard this. Lin Baicheng didn't completely believe Guo Henian's words that he believed in him. In his opinion, Guo Henian had some trust in his ability, otherwise he would not have dared to buy a large number of Hutchison Whampoa shares; however, Guo Henian did not trust Lin Baicheng that much, otherwise when Hutchison Whampoa's stock price plummeted, he would have It should not be for Lin Baicheng to raise Hutchison Whampoa's stock price, but to raise funds to buy Hutchison Whampoa at the bottom.

However, this seems normal to Lin Baicheng. Not to mention that he is still young now. Even if he is replaced by Bao Yugang and others, when the company encounters a crisis, Guo Henian will still distrust him when he should not. It is impossible for Guo Henian to use his own funds to bet on other people's abilities.

"Lin Sheng, actually I still want to ask, did Hutchison Whampoa's investment make a profit or a loss?"

Guo Henian asked aloud, and then continued without waiting for Lin Baicheng's answer: "This question has nothing to do with whether I believe you, Lin Sheng. That's what I think. If Hutchison Whampoa's investment is profitable, and the company's stock price has plummeted, , then you can definitely make a lot of money by buying the bottom now.”

"Lin Sheng, with the shares you hold in Hutchison Whampoa and your status as chairman, you are not suitable to do this, but it can be done by myself, Brother Huo, Bao Sheng, Zheng Sheng, and we can raise a fund together. A sum of funds is used to buy the bottom.”

"Of course, Lin Sheng, although you didn't pay a penny, after making a profit, 20% of the profit will be used as Lin Sheng's reward. Without the information you provided, Lin Sheng, we wouldn't have been able to make this money. , everyone is affected by the rain and dew."

"Guo Sheng, you really gave me a difficult problem."

Lin Baicheng wasn't too surprised when he heard this. People like Guo Henian had been in the business world for so many years, and it was normal for them to be keenly aware of business opportunities and take action.

Guo Henian couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Lin Sheng, this shouldn't have any impact on you."

Lin Baicheng was not prepared to fall out with HSBC, so he had an agreement and could not tell Guo Henian about the specific situation. He could not guarantee that Guo Henian or Bao Yugang and others would not spread the news. You know, Bao Yugang is still a director of HSBC. Who knows whether Bao Yugang will tell Shen Zhou the news informed by Lin Baicheng, so he has to guard against it.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng could only say: "Guo Sheng, I have my own difficulties. I can't tell you the investment details. I still say the same thing. If you believe me, then you will continue to hold Hutchison Whampoa's stocks. We can even engage in bargain hunting, as long as I won’t disappoint all Hutchison’s shareholders.”

"Difficulties? What difficulties can Lin Sheng have?"

Guo Henian couldn't help but be a little confused when he heard this. He didn't think Lin Baicheng would use such words to deceive him. There was no need. In other words, Lin Baicheng did have something unspeakable and could not tell him the truth, which forced him to guess what Lin Baicheng's difficulty was.

"Lin Sheng, since you said so, it's not good for me to ask any more questions. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Guo Sheng, go slowly, I'll see you off."

Lin Baicheng did not try to retain Guo Henian.

"Lin Sheng stays, I can just go by myself."

The two walked to the door of the office, and Guo Henian asked Lin Baicheng not to see him off anymore.

Lin Baicheng was no longer polite and watched Guo Henian leave and then returned to the office.

After leaving Lin Baicheng's office, Guo Henian left Hutchison Whampoa Company directly, got in the car and headed to Huo's house.

Guo Henian had already contacted Huo Yingdong before going to Lin Baicheng, so he knew that Huo Yingdong was at Huo's house. When he arrived at Huo's house, he followed the housekeeper in to meet Huo Yingdong.

"Brother Guo, how was your conversation with Lin Sheng?"

After a while, there were only two people left in the living room, and Huo Yingdong asked.

Guo Henian said simply: "Lin Sheng didn't tell me the details of the investment. He said he had his own difficulties. He could only tell me that I believed he would never be wrong."

Huo Yingdong couldn't help but said: "In this case, we will have no way of knowing whether Hutchison Whampoa's investment has made a profit or a loss."

"you do not say."

Guo Henian nodded in agreement: "I am now worried that Hutchison Whampoa's investment will suffer losses. As the newspaper said, all US$200 million was lost. Before that, Lin Sheng secretly reduced his shareholdings. , but he didn’t tell us the truth and let us be buried on his ship.”

Huo Yingdong shook his head: "It's not to that extent. With Hutchison Whampoa's current scale, even if there is an investment loss of 200 million US dollars, the market value of 7 to 8 billion Hong Kong dollars can still be achieved."

Guo Henian said: "That is true, but if Hutchison Whampoa's investment suffers a loss, it means that the previous profits were just luck. With Lin Sheng's age, it is difficult for people to believe that he will invest Hutchison Whampoa If this group is doing well, its market value will probably fall even further."

"Hutchison Whampoa has adjusted from more than 60 Hong Kong dollars at the beginning of the year to more than 40 Hong Kong dollars at the beginning. The trading volume during this period was not low. There must be someone with a large shareholding selling a large number of shares. I am afraid that this person is Lin Sheng. "

Huo Yingdong was a little emotional. It turns out that the reason why he is so concerned about Hutchison Whampoa's stock price is because he holds nearly 5 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa, which would be worth HK$170 million at the current market value.

One hundred million to tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is certainly not too much based on Huo Yingdong's net worth, but it is not a small amount either. What's more, no one wants their investment to suffer losses, and everyone wants the stocks in their hands to become more and more valuable.

"To be honest, I still can't tell whether Lin Sheng is in trouble and can't tell me the truth, so he implies to me that Hutchison Whampoa's stock price will inevitably rise in the future, asking me to buy the bottom now; or is it because he has sold a lot of shares, but There are still a lot of shares that have not been sold, so we are tempted to buy the stock and raise the stock price so that he can sell the stock himself."

There are intrigues in the shopping mall. Although Lin Baicheng is young, he was able to work hard at a young age to achieve his current wealth. Guo Henian did not dare to underestimate Lin Baicheng, so he could not tell whether it was a conspiracy of Lin Baicheng.

Huo Yingdong suddenly said: "I think we can still trust Lin Sheng."

"How to say?"

When Guo Henian heard this, he made a gesture of listening.

"Galaxy Games Company."

Huo Yingdong said: "This company is currently in the listing stage, with a valuation of about 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. Lin Sheng obtained nearly 500 million U.S. dollars by selling 20% ​​of it. Including the company shares he currently holds, the market value exceeds 8 billion Hong Kong dollars. .”

"In other words, even if Hutchison Whampoa has problems, Lin Sheng will still be a rich man with a net worth of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and he will still be the richest man in Hong Kong."

"Since Lin Sheng still has so much wealth, he and his family will still take root in Hong Kong in the future. In this case, it would be very unwise to offend Chinese families like us. I believe that Lin Sheng can be smart enough to earn such a wealth. Intelligence would never do such a thing.”

"Furthermore, we have some friendship with him. Even if he wants to cheat others, he should cheat others instead of cheating us. What do you think?"

"Brother Huo is right."

Guo Henian nodded thoughtfully in agreement. Thinking about it, this is really the truth. Putting it in his perspective, if he were replaced by Lin Baicheng, he would not choose to cheat the Chinese tycoon he was friends with without much loss to himself, because doing so would not benefit him at all.

Huo Yingdong said his judgment: "So, I think we can boldly buy Hutchison Whampoa's stocks now and hunt for the bottom."

Guo Henian immediately said: "In this case, let's contact Bao Sheng and Zheng Sheng. Let's pool money together and enter the market to buy the bottom."

Huo Yingdong nodded and said: "I have no problem here. It's best not to delay and get in quickly while the stock price is plummeting."

“It’s already early 11 o’clock now, and I can only enter the market to buy lows in the afternoon at the earliest.”

Guo Henian looked at the clock on the wall. He still had to contact Bao Yugang and the others, and everyone would pool money together and arrange for people to go to the exchange to buy stocks. All of this took time and couldn't be solved by just making a few phone calls.

When Guo Henian and others were in contact with each other, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price plummeted again from the shock price of 35 Hong Kong dollars at the end of the morning, heading towards the price of 30 Hong Kong dollars, but it was HSBC and the others who exerted their strength again.

The market either rises or falls, or falls or rises.

When Hutchison Whampoa's stock price rebounds to around HK$40, there will definitely be a large number of investors who believe that Hutchison Whampoa's investment is actually profitable and choose to buy the stock accordingly, thus raising the stock price again. Therefore, HSBC and others will take advantage of the opportunity. Buy more now when the stock price is not high.

Fortunately, because it seems to be a sharp downward trend, many investors have sold their stocks, and today's trading volume is very large.

Chen Baocai and his group bought all the previously withdrawn funds when the stock price fell to HK$32. In other words, they bought a position worth 30% of the total funds.

However, although Chen Baocai and the others bought at a low level, as of the morning's close, the stocks they bought had a loss, because Hutchison Whampoa's closing price in the morning was HK$30.63, which was more than four points lower than their cost price. .

A drop of more than 4%, calculated at a cost of HK$50,000, is more than HK$2,000, which is equivalent to several months' wages of an ordinary factory worker.

Although it has fallen a lot, Chen Baocai has no intention of cutting the stock. Even if the stock price drops sharply in the afternoon, he has no intention of cutting the stock. If the stock price drops too much, he will cover his position and lower the cost price. He is looking for a rebound and a very unlikely reversal.

If there is a reversal, Hutchison Whampoa's investment is profitable and the bulls are strong, then Hutchison Whampoa's stock price is likely to rise to HK$50 or even higher, and then Chen Baocai will make a fortune.

However, the possibility of a reversal is relatively low, and Chen Baocai does not expect a reversal, so he will strive for a rebound. Once the stock price rebounds to above 35 Hong Kong dollars and there is a shock, he will sell the stock and earn about 10%, which is not bad.
