Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

When Lin Baicheng returned to Hong Kong, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price had fallen below HK$50, and Lin Baicheng and the others had begun to slowly buy in small amounts from the stock market with the funds they had cooperated with.

Since they are buying the bottom, Lin Baicheng and others must not suddenly buy in large quantities. Otherwise, when the market sees a large amount of funds entering the market and the stock price rises, many people will definitely follow suit and buy, causing Hutchison Whampoa's stock price to continue to rise. This is equivalent to Lin Baicheng's Others used the same amount of money to buy fewer stocks.

Lin Baicheng only paid a little attention to this matter. Anyway, there are specialized personnel for the specific operation.

But there was another thing that made Lin Baicheng even more concerned. Bill Harveys from the United States reported to him that Bill Gates and Paul Allen from Microsoft wanted to meet Lin Baicheng and talk to him. .

Lin Baicheng asked Bill Gates what they wanted to talk about. Bill Harveys said that he had asked this question, and Bill Gates and the others also answered, saying that they hoped to talk to Lin Baicheng about Microsoft's asset allocation. Computer operating systems can share patents and technology.

"You tell Bill Gates and others that it is impossible to share computer operating system patents and technology. Unless this technology is transferred to me as a certain asset, otherwise the status quo will be maintained."

Sharing technology and patents is not what Lin Baicheng wants. Once such conditions are agreed to, Bill Gates and others, with the support of IBM, will surely be able to develop their new company 'Blue Software' quickly. By then, even Lin Baicheng will also have the technology. It's no use either.

Sometimes patented technology is very useful, but if it cannot occupy the market, it will be useless even if the technology is better, let alone the same technology.

"Yes, Chairman!"

Bill Harveys naturally responded.

Lin Baicheng suddenly said: "Have they encountered any difficulties? Otherwise, there is no reason for them to suddenly want to negotiate with me."

"Yes."

Bill Harveys said: "The person I arranged for said that 'Blue Software' wants to bypass Microsoft's computer operating system patents and run with new technical code, but the development process is not very smooth, although it is expected that it can be done Arrive, but it will take a while.”

"Isn't IBM urging me more urgently?"

There was no need for Bill Harveys to continue talking, and Lin Baicheng had already made a guess.

Bill Harveys: "Yeah, that's probably what happened."

Lin Baicheng ordered: "In this case, we can't let them get what they want. Just do as I say."

"yes!"

Of course, Lin Baicheng wants to hold back Bill Gates and others. This will not only allow Blue Software Company to develop a new computer operating system that bypasses patents later, but will also allow IBM's personal computers to be released later, creating a new opportunity for Apple. Buy more time.

Later, Lin Baicheng contacted Isabella.

"Bella, how is the progress of the company's computer operating system development?"

"Because we have poached several people from Microsoft and know the general situation of Microsoft's computer operating system, the current research and development is going quite smoothly, but the specific time for product release will not be until next year at the earliest."

Isabella answered.

"Well, I have an idea."

Lin Baicheng turned to say: "The company's current development should be relatively smooth, right? With more than 100 million US dollars in financing, the company is now considered to be wealthy."

Isabella: "In addition to the two technologies currently being developed, the company is focusing more funds and energy on developing overseas markets to increase the company's revenue. So far, the progress is good."

"That's good, then so be it."

Lin Baicheng actually knew this, and Bill Harveys would report to him. Just now he just showed his importance and concern for the company.

"Chairman, please wait a moment."

Isabella spoke up immediately.

"Is there a problem?"

Lin Baicheng put the microphone to his ear again.

Isabella solemnly said: "Chairman, thank you very much for choosing me as the manager of the company. I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations. If, if I can develop the company well in a few years, , I also hope that Chairman, you will transfer me to a position in another company. I hope to have more opportunities for experience to make up for my lack of work experience."

By saying this, she was actually showing her loyalty in disguise, telling Lin Baicheng that she would still work for Lin Baicheng in the future and would always be a soldier under Lin Baicheng.

"Okay, I understand. You work hard and I look forward to your performance."

Lin Baicheng could also hear the meaning. Thinking that Isabella was the first to follow him, he still said: "My career will only get bigger and bigger. As long as you have the ability, then you will have the opportunity to rise to the top." .”

"Thank you, Chairman!"

Isabella couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this, which meant that Lin Baicheng still regarded her as a close subordinate and she would not be alienated.

Although she is now the manager of New Century Software Company, Isabella has never thought about using this platform to change jobs and leave. She is very satisfied with working under Lin Baicheng.

Isabella knows very well that in the United States, there is discrimination against women in the workplace. Very few women reach the management level of a company, especially the manager level with decision-making power. What's more, she is younger than 30 years old.

Being less than thirty years old and a woman, Isabella knew very well that if she went to another company, the management would basically have no chance of her, and she would not even think about positions such as manager and president.

But under Lin Baicheng, Isabella has achieved this, so unless she really can't stay under Lin Baicheng anymore, or has a better and higher platform, Isabella will not leave voluntarily.

"Well, do your job well!"

Lin Baicheng, who hung up the phone, was a little surprised by what Isabella said today. At the same time, he felt that it was necessary to reconsider the arrangement and positioning of Isabella.

However, Lin Baicheng did not immediately consider Isabella's matter, but started to contact Maori Haruko, who was also in Los Angeles.

The time now is around four o'clock in the afternoon in Los Angeles, which is around eight o'clock in the morning in Xiangjiang, so Maori Haruko is also in the company, but at the Golden Fleece Company, and Lin Baicheng also contacted her quickly.

"Chairman!"

It's working time now, not at the villa, otherwise Mouri Haruko would call her 'Makoto-kun'.

Without any courtesy, Lin Baicheng asked directly: "Qingzi, has there been any progress in what I asked you to do?"

Maori Haruko replied: "Chairman, I have arranged for Aige Dema to do the matter, but there has been no progress yet."

Lin Baicheng said in a deep voice: "Let Aige Dema focus all his energy on this matter. There is no need to make other investments. The companies that have already invested can just ask other employees to follow up. The most important thing is to tell me what I have told you." Do it well.”

"Yes, Chairman, I will tell him."

Maori Haruko immediately responded. Knowing that Lin Baicheng attached great importance to this matter, of course she was ready to urge Aige Dema to get the matter done.

Egg Dema, the manager of Pioneer Technology Venture Capital Company, what Lin Baicheng told him was of course related to investment.

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news."

After Lin Baicheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

After ending the call with Lin Baicheng, Maori Haruko did not contact Aige Dema immediately, but only contacted Aige Dema after returning.

"Manager Dema, how are you doing with the tasks assigned by the chairman that I told you?"

"Vice President, I looked around and found that there are many people making personal computers, but most of them are customized based on customers' private requirements and have not yet formed a scale, so they have not established a company."

"If I invest in people like this, I'm worried that the company's investment will end up in vain. Those people simply don't have the potential that a business founder has."

What Lin Baicheng asked Aige Dema to do was to invest in a new personal computer company. Of course, there was a reason for this.

The computer operating system developed by New Century Software Company must be matched with the computer, otherwise the software alone is useless. Currently, the largest personal computer company on the market is Apple, but the problem is that Apple’s computers have their own Operating system, it is impossible to use the operating system of New Century Software Company.

As a result, New Century Software Company must find companies that can cooperate. What Lin Baicheng is currently doing is to support a new computer company. At least, the computer operating system developed by New Century Software Company cannot become a decoration.

Maori Haruko said aloud: "Well, what we want to invest in is a company that is likely to succeed, rather than spending money to waste money. However, the chairman is very concerned about this matter, so you have to continue to look for it and make achievements. "

Aige Dema thought for a while and said: "Vice President, I thought about it. We can find industry elites who have relevant technical levels but do not make personal computers and invest in their businesses. What do you think? But in this case, we The capital to be invested and the shares to be sold at the beginning may be relatively large.”

After hearing this, Maori Haruko said: "You can try in the direction you mentioned. As for the specific investment amount and shareholding ratio, we will wait until you find the right candidate."

"Yes, I will find the right person."

Aige Dema responded, and things would be much easier to handle.

After finishing the call with Aige Dema, Maori Haruko then contacted Lin Baicheng and reported to Lin Baicheng, and Lin Baicheng also agreed. The details will be discussed after finding the right person.

When Lin Baicheng ended the call with Maori Haruko, he found that it was already past eleven o'clock, lunch time.

Because of her sister Lin Shufang's relationship in Xiangjiang, Lin Baicheng still went home to have dinner.

However, Lin Baicheng, who had just returned home, learned one thing from his sister Lin Shufang, that is, his parents were planning to return to Xiangjiang and asked Lin Baicheng to send a private plane to Los Angeles to pick them up.

Lin Baicheng was very puzzled after hearing this: "Why did my parents come back suddenly? And they didn't tell me in advance?"

"It was our mother's temporary decision."

Lin Shufang said: "After you told your parents that you could go to the mainland to see your relatives, Mom has been thinking about it and can't wait to see people right away. You arranged the time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is still more than a month left. Mom, she thought After thinking about it for a while, I finally couldn’t help but want to see people as soon as possible, so I decided to come back early.”

"Well, since mom wants to go there early, I'll contact the two presidents of Xinhua News Agency. I believe changing the time shouldn't be a problem."

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng could understand. After all, he was a relative whom he had not seen for decades. It was just that there was no hope before. But now that he has hope, he will definitely not be able to endure the torture anymore.

Lin Shufang said to Lin Baicheng: "Brother, if you don't have time to go, forget it, I will just accompany my parents there."

"If you have time, you can still squeeze in."

Lin Baicheng smiled. Although he was very busy, he had no problem squeezing out a few days.

Lin Shufang couldn't help but said: "But I listen to what Mom wants. I seem to want to live there for a while this time."

"Stay for a while?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this: "Let's not talk about the issue of official permission. The conditions there are not very good now, and it is not appropriate to stay there for too long. Sister, when the time comes, you can persuade Mom with me. Tell her not to stay there for too long, and at most she can go there a few more times in the future."

"Are the conditions there very bad?"

Lin Shufang asked curiously.

"how to say?"

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said: "Now, it is definitely incomparable to our Xiangjiang, and we are going to an ordinary family, so the conditions will naturally be worse. We will definitely suffer some hardships this time. I hope you can be able to Bear with it.”

"I should be fine."

Lin Shufang said and looked at Lin Baicheng and said, "But you, my little brother, you are a rich man now, can you bear the hardship?"

"We'll know when the time comes."

In fact, Lin Baicheng is really not sure about this. Although he was just an ordinary person before his rebirth, the living conditions after the 21st century are very good. He really doesn't know the living conditions in China in this era, and he is not sure about himself. Can you bear it?

However, one thing Lin Baicheng was sure of was that he would definitely not have an attack by then, and since he would bring some supplies there, he felt that it would be no problem to stay there for a few days.

Lin Shufang said: "Brother, I will leave it to you to arrange the matter of picking up your parents."

"Well, I know, I'll arrange it soon."

Lin Baicheng responded, and then went to call his parents in Los Angeles.

In the afternoon of that day, Lin Baicheng went to Xinhua News Agency again and discussed with the two presidents Wang Yiping and Li Fuquan about the latest schedule for visiting relatives in the mainland.

Regarding the change of time, Wang and Li agreed without thinking, and said that they would finalize the time with the domestic side soon, and would contact Lin Baicheng by phone in the evening to reassure Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng expressed his gratitude for this, and there are many things he has to do next. After all, he has to go to the mainland for several days. The important thing is that it is not convenient to contact him, so he must arrange some things.
