Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Monday morning.

Qin Lan and Huang Xizhao did not contact the Information Bureau as agreed. They planned to wait and see if there would be a reaction from the Information Bureau. If not, they would contact the Information Bureau in the afternoon to convey the big boss's attitude.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, although Director Song of the Information Bureau did not contact Qin Lan or Huang Xizhao, a staff member of the Information Bureau who was familiar with Chen Ailing contacted Chen Ailing and asked Chen Ailing whether the big boss Lin Baicheng or Asia Star Media Group What is the attitude?

Qin Lan and Huang Xizhao had not told Chen Ailing about the decision made by the big boss, so Chen Ailing could not answer. She just agreed to help inquire, turned around and ended the call, and reported the matter to Qin Lan and Huang Xizhao.

After hearing this, Huang Xizhao said: "It seems that the Information Bureau is still very concerned about Mr. Lin's position."

Qin Lan also said: "Mr. Lin is still influential. I thought the Information Bureau didn't care at all and was just waiting for a reply from us."

"Director Qin, President, how should we respond?" Chen Ailing asked.

Qin Lan and Huang Xizhao looked at each other, and Qin Lan spoke up: "Mr. Lin has decided not to give in. If the Information Bureau and the authorities maintain the ban or expand the ban, the company will withdraw from the Bay Island market."

After a pause, Qin Lan continued: "Originally, we planned to contact the Information Bureau in the afternoon to inform Mr. Lin of Mr. Lin's attitude, and then wait for the Information Bureau or the authorities to make a decision before telling you. Now that we have said it, we will simply Say more.”

"If the company finally has to withdraw from the Bay Island market, the company's branch here will definitely be cancelled, but for you old employees of the company, the company will not ignore it."

"You have two options. One is that the company will pay you half a year's salary in one go as compensation, and you will have nothing to do with the company from now on; the other is that you leave Wandao and go to Xiangjiang, and the company will arrange corresponding positions for you. If you don't You must be working in Asia Star Media Group, and you may work in other companies under Mr. Lin’s name. Mr. Lin will not treat you badly.”

"As long as you and some senior executives know about this matter for the time being, it is still uncertain whether the company will eventually withdraw from the Bay Island market. It will not be too late to announce it after this matter is confirmed."

As for the arrangements for Chen Ailing and other employees, Qin Lan mentioned it to the big boss before coming to Wandao. After hearing her rough arrangement plan, the big boss had no objection and let her make her own decision.

"OK, I see!"

Chen Ailing nodded when she heard this, and felt relieved. It would be fine if the company didn't ignore them. At best, they would be compensated with half a year's salary, which was enough for everyone to find a new job during this period.

"Director Qin, President Huang, how should I reply to my friends at the Information Bureau? Ignore them for now, or should I convey Mr. Lin's attitude?"

"President Huang, what do you think?"

Qin Lan looked at Huang Xizhao when he heard this. He didn't make the decision alone. It was better for everyone to discuss and make the decision. In this way, he didn't have to take the blame alone when something went wrong. It was a joint decision made by everyone.

Huang Xizhao thought for a while and said: "I think we can contact Director Song again and make an appointment to meet with Director Song in the afternoon. It is better to discuss some things in person and see if we can fight for it. If it doesn't work, we can only inform Mr. Lin of his attitude and wait. The Information Bureau and even the Bay Island authorities made the decision.”

"Then let's contact Director Song and meet him."

Qin Lan didn't object because she thought so too.

After making the decision, Qin Lan did not ask Chen Ailing to contact the people she knew in the Information Bureau. Instead, she directly contacted Director Song of the Information Bureau and made an appointment to meet in the afternoon.

Director Song did not refuse the meeting in the afternoon, but agreed, and the two parties agreed on a time and place for the meeting.

After making an appointment with Director Song of the Information Bureau on the time and place to meet, Qin Lan contacted Xiangjiang and reported the matter to Lin Baicheng through Chen Huixiang.

Lin Baicheng said he knew and just asked Qin Lan to give the answer according to his instructions.

"Let's continue."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Baicheng said to the white man opposite.

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Buta Scheno responded and continued to introduce the company.

Buta Skeno is the vice president of the telephone company. He introduced the company's profile. In fact, Lin Baicheng had read the telephone company's information and had a general understanding of the phone company. There was no way he could know more about it from Buta Skeno. Be more specific. After all, Buta Skeno's report will only pick out the good ones, but Lin Baicheng still has to listen.

As for the telephone company, the former president wisely resigned from the telephone company after Qin Lan hinted that Mr. Lin didn't like him. Of course, this is also related to the generous severance payment the company offered him. If he cannot get satisfactory remuneration, the other party will not be able to cooperate and leave the company voluntarily, and he will definitely cause trouble.

The former president cooperated and voluntarily resigned from the company, so as not to cause any disturbance and make other managers worry about his position, so that none of them had the energy to do anything, causing chaos in the management.

When the original president resigned, the company naturally had to appoint a new president. The new president candidate, Lin Baicheng, was not prepared to recruit from outside unless no one in the company's senior management could satisfy him.

And regarding the candidate for the president of the telephone company, Lin Baicheng does not have to appoint a Chinese person. Any Chinese or white person can be used. It is said that among the middle and senior management of the telephone company, more white people account for about 70%. If white people are really excluded, then the telephone company The company said it couldn't scrap half of it.

Ten minutes later.

After Buta Skeno finished speaking, Lin Baicheng said: "You should also listen to Qin Lan about my development plan for the telephone company. I hope that the ship under your helm will not deviate from the general direction. You understand me. What do you mean?"

"Yes, Director Qin told Mr. Lin about your plan for the company's development. I will definitely implement it, independently develop equipment, open more international dedicated lines, and explore the Southeast Asian market."

Buta Scheno was overjoyed and quickly responded. The big boss's words were clearly telling him to appoint him as the president of the telephone company.

"Pay close attention to research and development, I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Lin Baicheng reminded me again, and then said: "As for your appointment as president, it will be implemented after Qin Lan comes back. I have to take another look at your ability. I hope you won't disappoint me, otherwise I can let you sit in this position." , I can replace you at any time."

"Yes, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely help you develop the company!"

Buta Scheno is not too worried. As long as he doesn't make mistakes and does his job well, I believe there will be no problem.

Nodding, Lin Baicheng said: "The phone company has just completed the handover not long ago. Your task during this period is to stabilize the company, not to cause chaos in the company's operations, and not to allow others to take advantage of the company."

"Don't worry, I will take care of these things!"

Buta Scheno immediately promised that if he couldn't do this well, he would have no shame in staying in the company.

"In terms of research and development, remember to recruit some talents from abroad. Don't be afraid of spending money. For the phone company under my management, the company's short-term stock price fluctuations are not the focus. The focus is the company's long-term development. You have to understand this."

"I see!"

Buta Schino was really surprised after hearing this, but he is a professional manager and he will do whatever the boss says.

Now the big boss Lin Baicheng holds nearly half of the shares of the telephone company. No shareholder can compete with Lin Baicheng. So Buta Skeno, the president, only needs to be responsible to the big boss Lin Baicheng. The big boss said he does not value the company's short-term stock price. Fluctuations, but value long-term development, then of course he values ​​the company's long-term development.

If it is a company without an absolute majority shareholder, Buta Schino, as a professional manager, will be responsible for the many shareholders on the board of directors. He must always pay attention to the company's stock price and not let the company's stock price fall too much, otherwise Many shareholders on the board of directors will make him look good and ask him to get out of the company.

Therefore, professional managers cannot be blamed for their short-sightedness in many cases, because if professional managers attach importance to the company's long-term development and ignore the company's current stock price, causing the company's stock price to be in a downward trend, then the interests of many shareholders will be harmed, and the interests of many shareholders will definitely be harmed. Fire professional managers, and professional managers will definitely not dare to do this for the sake of their own jobs.

Therefore, most professional managers pay attention to short-term interests, so that the company's stock price can rise and satisfy shareholders; there must be professional managers who pay attention to the company's long-term interests, but these managers will not ignore the company's short-term stock price fluctuations. They can achieve a balance between the two. Such professional managers are often very powerful.

Lin Baicheng said: "Let's do this for now, you go and do your work."

"Mr. Lin, I'm going out first."

Buta Skeno said, standing up and leaving the office.

After Buta Scheno left, Lin Baicheng read the documents for a while. It was not until Chen Huixiang came in to remind him that it was after get off work hours that he left the phone company and went home for dinner.

In the afternoon, Lin Baicheng took people to Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company.

Although Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company only determined the shareholder's investment ratio in March this year, the company's headquarters and laboratory have been under construction since last year. The initial funds have always been provided by Lin Baicheng. After the company's establishment funds are received, they will vest. Only Lin Baicheng's share will be returned to Lin Baicheng, without interest.

The reason why he started to advance funds for construction last year is that Lin Baicheng knew that the construction of the headquarters and laboratories would take time. In order to invest in medical and biological research and development as soon as possible, he was willing to take a loss and advance funds for the initial expenditure.

The total investment in Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company is US$500 million. The Rockefeller family only holds 2% of the shares, which is an investment of US$10 million. Lin Baicheng can be said to be the absolute majority shareholder of this company. The Rockefeller family only has financial supervision rights over this company. , the rest has nothing to do with the Rockefeller family.

With the Rockefeller family as a shareholder, Changsheng Medical and Biological Company has become more successful in recruiting people and purchasing equipment than before. Although the company is still under construction, the first laboratory to be built has already begun operation, and some people are already conducting research and development on projects. .

Although the laboratory belongs to Changsheng Medical and Biological Company, Lin Baicheng separated the management of the laboratory from the company. He himself became the general director of the laboratory and temporarily appointed two deputies to assist him in managing the laboratory.

The day-to-day management of the company is handed over to the company's president, but the president cannot manage the laboratory. The president is responsible for the company's daily affairs, such as raw material and equipment procurement, talent poaching, experimental site arrangements, etc.

Lin Baicheng attaches great importance to Changsheng Medical and Biotechnology Company, and the laboratory is the top priority. He must tightly grasp the rights of the laboratory and cannot allow anyone to harm the interests of the laboratory, leak technology, etc.

Also in the afternoon, Qin Lan and Huang Xizhao, who were on the Bay Island side, took Chen Ailing to meet Director Song of the Information Bureau. This time, Director Song, Director Zhang and Director Chang came forward.

This time they still broke up on bad terms, and Qin Lan and the others once again clearly informed Lin Baicheng of their attitude. Director Song and the others had hinted at that time that the sanctions and blockade would be expanded, and it was useless for Lin Baicheng to think clearly about confronting the Bay Island authorities.

Qin Lan and the others could only convey the big boss's attitude, so they didn't say anything more. After returning to the hotel, they contacted Xiangjiang and reported to Lin Baicheng.

After Lin Baicheng learned from Chen Huixiang that Qin Lan and the others were going to report to him, he knew that the talks with Wandao were over. Lin Baicheng was not too surprised by the hint from Director Song and the others conveyed by Qin Lan, but was just a little bit regretful.

Lin Baicheng asked Qin Lan and Huang Xizhao to stay on the island for the time being, waiting for wider sanctions on the island. If the company on the island was completely blocked by Lin Baicheng, it would not be too late for Qin Lan and the others to come back. The matter of disbanding the branch can be left to the people below.

At about five o'clock in the evening, Lin Baicheng was no longer at Changsheng Medical and Biological Company. He came to Galaxy Semiconductor. He also attached great importance to this company.

Lin Baicheng learned from Chen Huixiang's summary of the reports from all parties that the short-selling funds for Hutchison Whampoa, Hong Kong Electric Group and the telephone company listed under his name in the market today have not increased much. There has been an increase, but they are all loose orders. And the amount of funds is not large. At a glance, you can tell that it is the work of many small funds and retail investors.

Lin Baicheng was a little surprised to learn that this was the case. He thought that the British capital would take advantage of the victory today and pursue it. However, as the sanctions and blockades on the Bay Island will expand in the future, the amount of short-selling funds should increase a lot.

Lin Baicheng has been mentally prepared to let the short side make a fortune. The premise is that the short side is not too greedy. Otherwise, don't blame him for not practicing martial ethics. He will increase his shareholding to increase the stock price and blow up the short side.

For Lin Baicheng, it is not a bad thing for short sellers to drive down the stock price of a listed company, because he is not short of cash. As long as the stock price is driven low enough, he does not mind spending money to increase his holdings, and then wait for the company's stock price to rise to a certain level. Then reduce your holdings and sell the shares to earn the difference.

Take Hutchison Whampoa, for example, a company with a market value of about 40 billion. Even if Lin Baicheng only increases his holdings of shares worth HK$1 billion and sells them when the stock price rises 100%, he will make a profit of HK$1 billion.
