Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Because the time difference between Los Angeles and Hong Kong and the flight time almost cancel each other out, Lin Baicheng, who left Los Angeles by plane on Thursday morning, also returned to Hong Kong on Thursday morning.

Lin Baicheng's private jet can be said to be famous in Xiangjiang, so when the plane landed at the airport, well-informed newspapers had arranged for reporters to wait outside.

In fact, there are very few reporters watching the takeoff and landing of Lin Baicheng's private plane now, because Lin Baicheng usually asks his bodyguards to stop reporters and prevent reporters from disturbing him. After many times, reporters no longer waste time.

If celebrities were treating reporters like this, reporters could attack celebrities and say they are acting like celebrities. But Lin Baicheng is the richest man in Hong Kong. How dare reporters write that.

Even if reporters dare to write it, newspapers may not be willing to publish it, which would offend Lin Baicheng, the richest man in Hong Kong.

Therefore, after a period of time, reporters no longer followed and photographed Lin Baicheng, the richest man in Hong Kong.

However, this time was different. Because Lin Baicheng accepted the official invitation from the mainland to visit the mainland, he was criticized by many right-wing media. The previous suppression broke out at this time, and with the help of some British capital who were dissatisfied with him, he It has become the center of the eye of the storm.

The right-wing media criticized Lin Baicheng, the left-wing media naturally praised Lin Baicheng, and the few neutral media that had no position expressed their own opinions.

Of course, Lin Baicheng also has media under his name, and it is the largest media group in Hong Kong, including TV stations and newspapers. However, Lin Baicheng has given instructions before. As long as similar reports are not one-sided, there is no need for the media under his name to get involved. The news can be ignored.

In any case, Lin Baicheng has become the center of media reports, so the media is paying great attention to his trip. Well-informed newspapers arranged for reporters to keep an eye on him when he came back, so that when he came back, there were already many reporters waiting outside the airport.

As a personal secretary, Chen Huixiang came to the airport to pick up the plane with her bodyguard. She found that there were a large number of reporters waiting outside the airport. After communicating with the airport management, she entered the airport and waited. After seeing the private plane land, she walked towards the private plane.

"Xiao Chen, why did you come in?"

Not far away from the private plane, Lin Baicheng saw Chen Huixiang walking towards him, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Chen Huixiang heard this and said: "Mr. Lin, there are many reporters waiting outside the airport. Do you need to arrange for someone to stop the reporters?"

"Do you know what those reporters want to interview me?"

Lin Baicheng didn't say whether he should stop the reporter, but asked instead.

"Because your recent trip to the mainland has been exposed, many media have criticized your position. At the same time, the Information Bureau on the Bay Island has blocked the Asia Star Media Group. All the works under the group's name are in the Bay Island area. All are removed from the shelves, and future works cannot be screened in the Bay Island area. Because of this incident, there are more reports about you in Xiangjiang now."

"Reporters from those newspapers must have come here to interview you, Mr. Lin. They want to know what you think of the outside world's criticism of your reports, what you think of the ban on the Bay Island News Bureau, etc."

Chen Huixiang briefly explained the situation.

"There is no need to stop the reporters. I will be interviewed later and say a few words."

Lin Baicheng nodded after hearing this, and then asked: "Wandao News Bureau's ban only blocks works, not artists? Also, is it only the News Bureau on Wandao that blocks Asia Star Media Group? Wandao Have the authorities banned products from other companies under my name?”

The scale of the two types of bans are different. When the Information Bureau blocks the works of Asia Star Media Group, no matter whether artists are included or not, it is only Asia Star Media Group that is blocked.

In the latter, the Bay Island authorities banned the products of all companies under Lin Baicheng's name, including many, including arcade machines from Galaxy Games, consoles from Xingyue Electronic Games, Rubik's cubes from Jupiter Toys, claw machines and other toys, home appliances from Venus Electric, etc. .

If that were the case, it would be equivalent to a comprehensive suppression of Lin Baicheng by the Bay Island authorities, preventing Lin Baicheng from making even a penny with the Bay Island authorities.

To be honest, in 1980, the Bay Island market was larger than the entire mainland market. Although the mainland market had a larger population, the Bay Island market was larger than the mainland market. This is an undeniable fact.

Many businesses in the mainland are now unable to do business, and the economic situation in Wandao is very good. Therefore, the market in Wandao is larger than that in the mainland, especially in the entertainment industry. Since Hong Kong film and television works cannot be released in the mainland, Wandao has But the market can make money by showing it, and there is no comparison between the two.

Why were Hong Kong filmmakers so afraid of being banned by the Bay Island authorities in the 1980s? Because Wandao is a big market for Hong Kong movies. Without the Wandao market, a movie will make a lot less money. Even if a popular actor is banned, it will be unlucky, because it is impossible for a film company to let an actor out of his own company. None of the works can be screened on Bay Island.

If the Bay Island authorities comprehensively block the industries under Lin Baicheng's name, it will still have a considerable impact on Lin Baicheng's enterprises. After all, the market in Bay Island is larger than that of some Southeast Asian countries.

Whether now or in the future, the market of Bay Island is larger than that of some Southeast Asian countries.

To give the simplest example, one of the Four Asian Tigers includes Bay Island. From this point of view, we can see that the economy of Bay Island is better than that of some Southeast Asian countries. In addition, with the same culture and origin, the market is naturally better than that of Southeast Asia, which has a poor economy. The country is vast.

"The Bay Island authorities have not banned the products of other companies under your name, Mr. Lin. The Information Bureau has only blocked the works of Asia Star Media Group, and has not banned artists. Also, the Bay Island Information Bureau contacted Asia Star Media Group President Huang said that regarding the ban on Asia Star Media Group, President Huang and Mr. Lin need to go to the Bay Island to communicate." Chen Huixiang replied.

"Communicate? Don't you want me to go over and admit my mistake?"

Lin Baicheng raised his eyebrows and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if they didn't just block everyone. If possible, he doesn't want to lose the Bay Island market. Losing this market will cause him a lot of losses, and he won't be dissatisfied with having too much money.

Chen Huixiang said: "I'm not admitting my mistake. President Huang said that Director Song of the Bay Island News Bureau has a very good attitude and said that there are some things that need to be communicated with you to avoid causing misunderstandings between the two parties or further expanding the misunderstandings."

"I see."

Lin Baicheng nodded. From the current point of view, the attitude of the Bay Island authorities is not too bad. The Information Bureau's blocking of Asia Star Media Group can be said to be a relatively low-level suppression, and he can understand this.

It is certain that the relationship between the Bay Island authorities and the mainland is antagonistic. Lin Baicheng's siding with the mainland is tantamount to standing opposite the Bay Island authorities. It is natural for the Bay Island authorities to suppress him.

"Now go out and face those reporters."

Lin Baicheng said no more and said as he walked that he had arrived at the VIP exit channel inside the airport.

"Lin Sheng, what do you think of the criticism of you by major newspapers?" "Lin Sheng, you are rushing back from the United States in a hurry. Are you in a hurry to deal with the Bay Island News Bureau's criticism of Asia Star Media Group? "Lin Sheng, why did you accept the invitation from the mainland authorities?" "Lin Sheng." "Excuse me, Lin Sheng."

As soon as they saw Lin Baicheng coming out of the passage, the reporters who were stopped not far away by the bodyguards brought by Chen Huixiang and the airport security immediately pushed to go over and interview Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng was followed by many bodyguards, more than ten, so when he saw this situation, several bodyguards immediately went over to help stop the reporters and prevent them from rushing in front of Lin Baicheng.

However, the bodyguards did not all leave Lin Baicheng's side. Two bodyguards followed Lin Baicheng closely, four bodyguards stood behind with their backs to each other, and the other two spread out to protect Lin Baicheng in all directions. safety.

"Everyone, be quiet. Don't be crowded. Please listen to what I have to say."

Lin Baicheng raised his hand and pressed it down, and the reporters also calmed down in a dignified manner.

There was no other way. Since reporters wanted to interview Lin Baicheng, they had to give Lin Baicheng face. Otherwise, if Lin Baicheng left unhappily, they would be blinded.

Besides, if you don’t give face to anyone, you can’t deny face to the richest man.

After the reporters calmed down, Lin Baicheng said to them through the bodyguard: "I just came back from the United States. I'm not very clear about what happened in Xiangjiang yet, but since everyone is here, I can't let everyone go back empty-handed. , so I will answer some questions as appropriate."

"However, there must be order. Anyone I call will ask questions, otherwise it will be noisy and I won't be able to answer."

"Besides, if each person asks a question, everyone will participate."

"Well, now let the gentleman wearing glasses and a red plaid shirt ask questions first."

After talking about discipline issues, Lin Baicheng then named a reporter.

"Thanks!"

The reporter who was called was overjoyed, and without introducing his name or which newspaper he was from, he asked directly: "Lin Sheng, did you rush back to Hong Kong from the United States because of the ban on Asia Star Media Group by the Bay Island News Bureau? , that’s why you rushed back to deal with it, how are you going to deal with the ban from the Bay Island News Bureau?”

Although the reporter only asked one question, this question actually contained multiple questions. However, this is a necessary skill for an experienced reporter. Journalists who cannot do this are usually not sent to interview important people.

"First of all, I want to make a statement here. I returned to Hong Kong today because of my schedule, not because of the Information Bureau's ban on Asia Star Media Group. I only learned about this after I came back."

"Since everyone knows that I accepted the invitation from the mainland officials, you should know that I will meet with the high-level officials of the mainland on the 21st of this month. I will definitely leave a few days in advance. In addition, I have to arrange the operations of the enterprises in Hong Kong. , that’s why I came back at this time, not because of other things.”

"As for what this reporter asked about how to deal with the ban on the Bay Island News Bureau, I just learned about it from my personal secretary, so I haven't thought about many things yet, but I think there may be a misunderstanding. Asia Star Media Group We will actively communicate with the Bay Island News Bureau."

"Okay, let's ask this lady to ask questions."

Lin Baicheng answered aloud, and then without waiting for the reporter to continue asking questions, he immediately clicked on another female reporter.

"Lin Sheng, do you have anything to say to the large number of newspapers in the market that criticize you?"

"Because I just came back, I don't know what those newspapers said yet, but I think that as long as it is not a personal attack on me and my family, then every newspaper has the right to express its position."

"Lin Sheng, some media said that after you made money in Hong Kong and invested in the Mainland, you were giving Hong Kong's money to the Mainland, and you were ungrateful to the Hong Kong government and Britain. What do you think of this?"

"I don't think so. I went to the mainland to invest in order to make money in the future. I am still very confident in my vision. Besides, I also have investments in England. Hutchison Whampoa now has an investment in England. The acquisition negotiations would be a huge investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.”

"Lin Sheng."

"..."

Lin Baicheng went from reporter to reporter. Whenever a reporter asked him a question that was difficult for him to answer, he would just ignore it because he just came back and didn't understand the situation. He would answer the others if he could, and he would answer them positively.

The reporters who came to the airport this time were not reporters from all newspapers in Hong Kong. In addition, each reporter could only ask one question. Therefore, after more than ten minutes, all reporters took turns. Lin Baicheng finished his answer to the reporters. , leaving the airport with the support of bodyguards.

Lin Baicheng's stretch Lincoln was waiting outside. In addition, there were several cars. The stretch Lincoln was in the middle, and there were several cars in front and behind.

The motorcade left, and some reporters followed, but most of them chose to report to the agency because they knew that Lin Baicheng would no longer answer reporters' questions, and there was little point in following.

Lin Baicheng took people back to the villa in Repulse Bay. After returning to the villa, the reporters who followed him had no chance and had no choice but to leave.

"Son, you are back."

Father Lin stayed at home and did not go out.

Lin Baicheng nodded: "Dad, I just came back."

Father Lin asked: "Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

"I'm not tired. Dad, I'm going to work first." Lin Baicheng shook his head.

Father Lin frowned slightly and said with concern: "Are you busy just after you got back? Pay attention to your health."

"I see."

Lin Baicheng responded, and then asked Chen Huixiang to contact Qin Lan and Huang Xizhao and call them here.

The matter of Asia Star Media Group being blocked must be dealt with, but Lin Baicheng doesn't know much about the specific situation now, so he needs to know what is going on from Qin Lan and Huang Xizhao.

Only by knowing what is going on can we respond correctly.

This matter cannot be taken carelessly. If the situation is not handled well and the situation escalates and the Bay Island authorities comprehensively suppress Lin Baicheng's career, then Lin Baicheng's losses will be great. He must avoid this situation from happening.

In fact, even if there is no Bay Island market, the enterprises under Lin Baicheng's name can still survive, it will just make less money. But Lin Baicheng is a businessman. If he can earn 100 yuan, why should he only earn 50 yuan? Why shouldn't he earn the remaining 50 yuan?

No one would dislike having too much money. It is all nonsense to say that they don’t like money or have no feelings about money.
