Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Lin Baicheng originally planned to wait until Zhao Yazhi's matter was settled in July before going to the United States.

It's a pity that Lin Baicheng had to go there in advance because something unexpected happened in the United States. He has already made arrangements for Zhao Yazhi's affairs, and whether he is in Xiangjiang or not has little impact.

On this trip to the United States, there was an extra person on Lin Baicheng's private plane, and that was Lin Qin. Lin Qin would follow Lin Baicheng to the United States.

The reason why Lin Baicheng originally wanted to go to the United States in July was because Lin Qin was going to study in the United States in August, so he had to take Lin Qin there in advance to familiarize himself with the living environment there.

"Brother, you really know how to enjoy it."

Lin Qin sat on the leather sofa of the private jet, although this was not her first time flying.

Lin Baicheng disagreed very much: "Making money is not just for enjoyment, otherwise what would you do if you make so much money?"

"anyway."

Lin Qin did not comment on this. She asked curiously: "Brother, how rich are you now? The newspaper said that you are the richest man in Hong Kong, with assets as high as 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. Is it true?"

"If we look at assets, it exceeds HK$20 billion, but many of them are just stock market values."

Lin Baicheng nodded and explained: "Take Hutchison Whampoa as an example. Your brother and I hold almost half of the shares. Based on Hutchison Whampoa's current stock price of about HK$55, these shares are worth HK$11 billion. But. Well, a while ago Hutchison Whampoa’s stock price fell to about HK$30, and its total market value was only HK$12 billion, half of which is HK$6 billion, which is HK$5 billion less than today’s market value of HK$11 billion.”

"In other words, compared with that time, my net worth has increased by HK$5 billion. But it's hard to say about the stock market. Maybe Hutchison Whampoa's stock price will fall again after a while, and my net worth will decrease again. You Do you understand what I mean?"

"Brother, I'm very smart, okay? You've made it so clear, how could I still not understand?"

Lin Qin rolled her eyes at him angrily, and then asked with concern: "Brother, what is the market value of your Galaxy Games company after it goes public? What are its development prospects in the next few years?"

"Why do you ask?"

Lin Baicheng looked Lin Qin up and down.

Lin Qin said matter-of-factly: "I am a shareholder of the company, so of course I have to know."

Lin Qin is really a shareholder of Galaxy Games, or the entire Lin family is a shareholder of Galaxy Games. Lin Baicheng gave each of his parents, sister Lin Shufang, and sister Lin Qin 1% of Galaxy Games.

Although the listing price of Galaxy Games has not yet been decided, the ownership of all shares has been determined and will not change.

Lin Baicheng originally held 100% of the shares of Galaxy Games, but because of the listing, he gave 1% of 2 million shares to the management and outstanding game R\u0026D engineers as equity incentives. However, because Lin Baicheng has made the greatest contribution to this company, and the contributions of others are almost negligible. In addition, the company has been established for a short time, so not all of the 2 million shares have been incentivized, and part of it has been reserved for future equity incentives.

Of the remaining 99% of the shares, Lin Baicheng sold 20% of the shares to Goldman Sachs and other institutions and business partners, leaving him with 79% of the shares.

Because of the listing, the company as a whole had to take out 20% of the shares. Although Lin Baicheng held 79% of the shares, he also took out the 20% of the 1% of shares that were given to the management as incentives, so he was After deducting 16% of the shares, only 63% of the shares remain.

Of the 63% shares, Lin Baicheng gave another 4% to his family, so he now only has 59% of Galaxy Games shares left. Those shares are now registered directly in the names of the family members. They truly belong to their names and have legal effect.

"You are only a small shareholder, so you only have to look at the annual report."

Although he said this, Lin Baicheng still said: "Galaxy Games will be listed at a stock price of no less than US$15.5 per share, with a total number of 200 million shares, and the market value at the time of listing is expected to be no less than US$3.1 billion. As for the specific listing The price has not been decided yet, but it will be decided in a few days.”

The listing price has not yet been finalized, and Goldman Sachs and some institutions are still negotiating. Lin Baicheng learned all this from Haruko Maori, and he asked Haruko Maori to follow up on the matter.

Before Lin Baicheng sold his shares to Goldman Sachs and other institutions, the listing price was decided at US$13 per share. Goldman Sachs said that Galaxy Games had only been in business for two years, and its performance prospects were full of uncertainty. The arcade games it developed might not be welcomed by the market. etc.

But after Goldman Sachs and other institutions bought the shares, for their own benefit, they immediately raised the listing price and listed the company at a stock price of no less than $15.5. This time it is said that the arcade game "1942" is popular in the market, the company has clear performance, stable growth every year, and a low valuation.

Anyway, no matter what, Goldman Sachs will do whatever it takes to benefit it.

Lin Baicheng really had no choice. After all, if he wanted to be listed on the US stock market, he could not do without companies such as Goldman Sachs. It would be the same if he replaced Goldman Sachs with companies such as Citigroup and Morgan Stanley. Maybe the conditions for cooperation with Goldman Sachs were not good.

After all, Lin Baicheng and Goldman Sachs had a lot of cooperation. Goldman Sachs would definitely not dare to go too far, lest it lose Lin Baicheng, a big customer.

Lin Qin immediately calculated after hearing this: "3.1 billion US dollars, which is 13.02 billion Hong Kong dollars. I have 1% of the shares. In other words, after the company is listed, I will also be a billionaire?"

Lin Baicheng smiled and said, "You can be said to be a billionaire."

"It's so unfair, parents."

After feeling happy, Lin Qin pouted and said: "Eldest sister holds the 1% of the shares herself, but they took mine away and will not give it to me until I graduate from college."

"They are doing this for your own good. It is not suitable for you to hold too much money now. After you graduate from college and have the ability to judge for yourself, it will not be too late for you to make your own decision."

Lin Baicheng understood it very well. After all, it was a share worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Lin Qin was not yet twenty years old, so it would be bad if he was cheated.

Lin Qin said unhappily: "Even if you say that, brother, I have the ability to judge, okay?"

Lin Baicheng smiled and said nothing. Anyway, he supported his parents in this matter.

"snort!"

Lin Qin snorted when she saw this and didn't talk about the topic again. She didn't mean to get the shares back anyway. She was just a little unhappy that she was treated like a child.

"Brother, you haven't said anything about the company's future development prospects just now."

"Please, I am the big boss of the company. If you ask me such a question, then I must mean that the company has excellent future development prospects and ensures that all shareholders will make a lot of money. There is no other answer."

Lin Baicheng spread his hands speechlessly. It was absolutely impossible for him, a major shareholder, to say depressing words to other shareholders. Even if a company under his name really has a problem, he will say this to stabilize the shareholders so that the company can have a chance to turn around, or if the company really wants to go bankrupt, he, the major shareholder, will have to run away first.

Lin Qin made a disgusted look: "Brother, what you said is so false."

"Anyway, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."

Lin Baicheng is really not a fool. He is quite confident in the future development of Galaxy Games Company. Ensuring that Galaxy Games produces at least two popular classic games every year will definitely make the company's annual profits no less than US$200 million. In this way, a market value of US$3 billion is nothing to the company.

If it is really possible to ensure that Galaxy Game Company's annual profits are no less than 200 million U.S. dollars, in the next few years, Lin Baicheng can guarantee that Galaxy Game Company's market value will definitely be higher than 5 billion U.S. dollars, and it is even possible that the capital market will be more A high P/E ratio values ​​Galaxy Games Inc.

It takes more than ten hours to fly from Xiangjiang to Los Angeles, but the time difference between the two places is exactly ten hours. Xiangjiang time is faster than Los Angeles time. So Lin Baicheng and the others arrived in Los Angeles almost as soon as they left Xiangjiang.

Lin Baicheng and his party left around evening time in Hong Kong, so it was almost nightfall when they arrived in Los Angeles.

The private plane landed, and Haruko Maori came to pick up Lin Baicheng with the bodyguards who stayed in Los Angeles.

Lin Qin is already used to Lin Baicheng's extended Lincoln. She has also ridden in the extended Lincoln in Xiangjiang several times.

"Sir! Miss!"

When Lin Baicheng and the others returned to the villa, they were greeted by the butler Dorchi Hall and the servants.

"Brother, who are they?"

Lin Qin was startled by the huge battle in front of him.

"They are the housekeepers and servants of the villa. This is the housekeeper, Mr. Dorchi Hal. If you have any needs in the future, you can tell him directly and he will do it for you one by one."

Lin Baicheng introduced the housekeeper to Lin Qin, and then said to Dalqi Haer: "Dolqi, this is my sister Lin Qin. She will study in the United States for a few years starting from this year, so she will live here forever. , you must take good care of her."

Upon hearing this, Dorchi Hal immediately responded: "Sir, don't worry, we will serve Miss Lin well."

"Um!"

Lin Baicheng nodded and led Lin Qin into the house.

After entering the villa, Lin Baicheng first took Lin Qin to the room arranged for her upstairs, and then left Lin Qin to pack her luggage while he went back downstairs.

"Haruko, have you moved to Manhattan Beach?"

After sitting down on the sofa, Lin Baicheng asked Maori Haruko who was sitting on the other side. After confirming that Lin Qin was coming to live, Lin Baicheng had asked Maori Haruko to move to the villa on Manhattan Beach in advance.

When they came to the United States, Lin Baicheng's parents asked Lin Qin to live with him, and he couldn't refuse. Lin Baicheng didn't want to introduce Maori Haruko to his family as his woman for the time being, so he asked Maori Haruko to move out.

"It was moved yesterday."

Maori Haruko actually wanted to stay, but she knew that she had to listen to Lin Baicheng, otherwise there would be no good fruit to eat, so she didn't delay and happily moved out early.

"Just move over there."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly: "If I come to Los Angeles in the future, I will usually stay here, but if I miss you, I will go there to see you."

"I'm waiting for you."

Mouri Haruko said softly.

Nodding, Lin Baicheng changed the subject and said, "Microsoft suddenly said that IBM wants to cooperate with Microsoft and want to invest in Microsoft. What exactly is going on?"

The reason why Lin Baicheng came to the United States immediately was because of this matter. Isabella suddenly contacted him and said that Bill Gates had contacted her and told her that IBM was looking for cooperation with Microsoft and wanted to invest in Microsoft. Bill Gates wanted to talk to Lin Baicheng and asked Isabella to contact Lin Baicheng on his behalf.

After learning about this incident, even if Bill Gates didn't talk to Lin Baicheng, Lin Baicheng himself would have to talk to Bill Gates. He had to know what was going on.

Because of Lin Baicheng, his future before his rebirth will definitely change. Whether Microsoft will change and become the giant that it was in his previous life, Lin Baicheng is not 100% sure now.

However, in Lin Baicheng's view, the possibility of Microsoft becoming the giant that it was in its previous life is still not small, so he attaches great importance to his Microsoft shares, which may be related to hundreds of billions of dollars in the future.

Haruko Maori said: "Isabella is in charge of this matter, but I asked her before, and she said that Bill Gates didn't say what was going on, but that he wanted to discuss it in detail with the chairman in person. "

Lin Baicheng asked: "Then do you know whether Bill Gates is in Los Angeles or at his company in Redmond?"

Haruko Maori replied: "I asked about this before. Isabella said that after you come over, she will contact Bill Gates to determine the time and place to meet."

"How does Bella do things? It's not like she doesn't know that I'm coming today. Can't she let Bill Gates and Paul Allen come to Los Angeles first and then wait for me to meet them?"

Lin Baicheng frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with Isabella. This matter was handled too poorly. Let’s not talk about the future. Today, Bill Gates and Paul Allen are just the bosses of a small company, but he is worth billions of dollars. The status of the two parties is not equal. It should be Bill Gates and the others. Make time to wait for him to have time to meet, instead of him accommodating the two of them.

"I think she may not have thought it through for a while."

Maori Haruko seemed to be speaking for Isabella, but in fact she was saying that Isabella had indeed done something wrong this time.

Lin Baicheng said immediately: "Qingzi, please contact Bella and ask her to contact Bill Gates and the others. Just tell them that I will wait for them in Los Angeles tomorrow and ask them to come over."

"Yes, I will contact her right away."

Maori Haruko responded and went to the side to make a phone call.

After a while, Maori Haruko completed what Lin Baicheng asked him to do, and Lin Baicheng asked her to go back first. There was nothing else to do here for the time being.

Lin Baicheng doesn't think much about what is going on at Microsoft today. Anyway, he will know after he meets Bill Gates and the others tomorrow. There is no need to think about it so much now. It is useless to think too much. .
