Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

After confirming Lin Baicheng's attitude, Wandao quickly responded.

The very next day, Tuesday morning.

Relevant departments in Bay Island have spoken out and banned the sale of some games on the grounds that the games will affect the learning of underage children.

The games are available for both arcades and consoles, and games from Galaxy Games and Star and Moon Electronic Games are included, with games from both companies blocked.

It can be said that although the relevant departments of Wandao did not directly name and ban Galaxy Game Company and Xingyue Electronic Game Company, the games sold by the two game companies have been banned, which is not much different from directly naming them.

It's just that, if you don't name them directly, there is still room for maneuver.

After Qin Lan learned about this from the report of his subordinates, he immediately contacted Xiangjiang.

"Only two game companies have their products banned?"

When Lin Baicheng listened to Chen Huixiang's report, he happened to be at Xingyue Electronic Game Company.

Chen Huixiang responded: "Yes, Director Qin said that Wandao did not mention the names of the two companies, but the games sold by the two companies have been included in the banned list."

"Just leaving some room."

Lin Baicheng smiled disapprovingly and said: "The Bay Island side is very accurate in catching them. Apart from Asia Star Media Group, which has been banned, the companies under my name that make the most money there are Galaxy Games and Xingyue Electronic Games. There are two companies.”

Toys from Jupiter Toy Company, Watsons supermarkets, various electrical appliances from Venus Electric, cement from Qingzhou Yingni Company, and commerce from Ocean Import and Export Trading Company, these are the only companies under Lin Baicheng's name that still have markets in the Bay Island, but These markets are not big, so toys can make more money.

Therefore, the ban on sales of the two most profitable game companies basically means that all companies under Lin Baicheng's name have withdrawn from the Bay Island market, and the profits of other companies in the Bay Island market are only a fraction of that of one of the two game companies.

Bay Island has blocked two game companies. It can be said that they have found the pulse. If they target ordinary businessmen, they may succeed. After all, no one will think that there is too much money, even Lin Baicheng is no exception, but Lin Baicheng sees it It's just farther away, so the ban on Bay Island is destined to be in vain.

Chen Huixiang asked: "Mr. Lin, do we need to speak out now?"

"Ignore it for now and let the bullets fly for a while."

Lin Baicheng shook his head and said: "Let's see if there will be other reactions from the Bay Island side. If that's the case, let the two game companies and Asia Star Media Group issue a low-key announcement this Friday to express the company's regrets, and then Let these three companies withdraw from the Bay Island market and ignore the others."

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Chen Huixiang responded, and then said: "Mr. Lin, the games of Galaxy Games and Xingyue Electronic Games are banned in Bay Island. In order to avoid causing turmoil in the company, it is best to let the company management appease the employees below, so as not to I think too much, or I heard rumors, thinking something happened to the company, and I am not interested in working."

"Wilson, did you hear that?"

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng looked at Wobb Wilson, the vice president of Xingyue Electronic Game Company, who was standing beside him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, the whole company will never be affected by this."

Wobb Wilson said immediately: "The Bay Island market accounts for less than 3% of the company's revenue and profit. The company's most important markets are the United States and Japan. The markets in other Western countries are also larger than Bay Island, so even if Failure to enter the Bay Island market will not have much impact on the company's revenue and profits. The company is simply shifting its energy to expand the Bay Island market to expand markets in other countries."

"I also believe the lockdown at Bay Island Market will have no impact."

Lin Baicheng agreed with this and continued: "But as you just said, the United States and Japan are the company's most important markets, so we must do a good job in maintaining the market and maintain good relations with the relevant departments of the two countries on weekdays. Don’t skimp on money that should be spent.”

It's okay if the game is banned in Bay Island, but if it is banned in the United States and Japan, the impact on the game company will be too great, and the game company may go bankrupt as a result.

Wobb Wilson said immediately: "I have always told the branches in both places to do a good job in relevant work. Don't worry about this, Mr. Lin."

"That's good."

Lin Baicheng nodded and said nothing more, and began to inspect the company.

Lin Baicheng was not too surprised by the ban on sales imposed by the relevant departments of Bay Island. In his opinion, it did not have a great impact on him because he had already been mentally prepared. Even his mental preparation was that all the companies under his name were prohibited from entering. Bay Island Market, the current lockdown hasn’t even reached this level.

The connection between Wan Dao and Xiangjiang is still very close in this era. Lin Baicheng is the richest man in Xiangjiang. When news about him appears in Wan Dao, Xiangjiang media will of course reprint the report immediately.

In fact, the Hong Kong stock market had already reacted before newspapers published the news related to the sale. Funds that were more sensitive to the news responded in advance. The stock prices of three listed companies, Hutchison Whampoa, Hong Kong Electric Group and Telephone Company, showed corresponding changes. A sharper decline than before.

Although the target companies are Galaxy Games and Xingyue Electronic Games, even if the previously banned Asia Star Media Group is included, the three have nothing to do with the three listed companies: Hutchison Whampoa, Hong Kong Electric, and Telephone, but the ban on the three The sale makes the outside world generate more associations.

After Asia Star Media Group was banned, it seemed to the outside world that Lin Baicheng would definitely carry out public relations, but the result of the public relations was that the games of the two game companies were blocked. This means that the public relations failed, and a worse situation occurred, so the outside world had reasons It is believed that other companies under Lin Baicheng's name will be affected.

Although the three listed companies have very little business in Bay Island, and Hong Kong Electric Group has no business, the market sentiment will be affected. In panic, many investors will definitely sell their stocks, and there will be short-selling funds following suit. It caused a panic drop, so it is normal for the stock prices of the three listed companies to be affected and fall.

Although Lin Baicheng had been working at Xingyue Electronic Game Company this morning, he spent a lot of time talking on the phone and chatting with other people. After learning about this incident, some people who were close to him called him to ask if he needed help, to express their condolences, to find out how he would deal with it, and so on.

"Mr. Lin, the reporters gathered outside the company have not left, and there are a lot of them. Do you want to go out like this, or should I ask Brother Lei and the others to send those reporters away first?"

When Lin Baicheng was about to leave Xingyue Electronic Game Company, Chen Huixiang told Lin Baicheng that a large number of reporters had gathered outside the company. The reporters knew that he was at the company in the morning, so they blocked him outside and wanted to interview him.

Lin Baicheng is the richest man in Hong Kong. The companies under his name have been sanctioned and blocked one after another. The impact can be said to be quite large. Of course, the media is not willing to miss this opportunity to interview him.

"You can take Lei Jun and the others to bring the reporters in, and there is no need to make arrangements. I will be interviewed by reporters on the spot, but remember to take care of security."

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and decided to accept an interview with reporters. Originally, he was not prepared to speak out, but with a large number of reporters chasing him, there was nothing he could do. If he doesn't accept an interview, he can guarantee that reporters will follow him wherever he goes today and tomorrow until he accepts an interview.

Of course, if Lin Baicheng absolutely does not want to be interviewed, he can drive the reporter away, but there is no need to do so in this case. After all, driving the reporter away will have a negative impact on his image and reputation. Why not do this? It's better not to do it.

"Okay, I'll go out and make arrangements right away."

Chen Huixiang responded when she heard the words and went out to make arrangements.

Chen Huixiang not only took some of Lin Baicheng's bodyguards to the company's lobby, but also called some security guards from Xingyue Electronic Games Company and told reporters that Lin Baicheng would accept an interview, but the reporters had to be inspected before they could go in for interviews.

Although the reporters were a little dissatisfied with having to be searched by bodyguards to check if they were carrying guns, in order to be able to interview Lin Baicheng, the reporters had no choice but to accept it.

After a lot of work, half an hour passed like this.

After Chen Huixiang came to report, Lin Baicheng took people to the lobby.

Chen Huixiang maintained order at the scene and asked reporters to conduct interviews in an orderly manner without any chaos.

"Lin Sheng, after Asia Star Media Group was blocked, your two companies, Galaxy Games and Xingyue Electronic Games, were blocked by Bay Island again. Is this related to you siding with the mainland and accepting the official invitation from the mainland to prepare to go to the mainland? "

The reporter who made the inquiry was not a media affiliated with Asia Star Media, and the reporter's inquiry was not unreasonable. Although everyone is well aware of this kind of thing and knows what it is about, it would be another matter if Lin Baicheng admitted that it was the case or used it to attack the Bay Island authorities.

"I personally think it has nothing to do with it."

Lin Baicheng still wants to enter the Wandao market in the future, so he will not break up with Wandao, so he will not admit it. "There must be a misunderstanding. The relevant companies will try their best to resolve the misunderstanding. However, if the misunderstanding cannot be resolved in a short period of time, I will ask the relevant companies to withdraw from the Bay Island market and respect the ruling on the Bay Island."

Through reporters' inquiries, Lin Baicheng directly stated his attitude. Now that he has been targeted, he still needs to express his attitude, not only to let the Bay Island side know his determination, but also to let the mainland side see his dedication.

"Lin Sheng, regardless of whether it is a misunderstanding or not, if the Bay Island continues to block the companies under your name and prevent the products of other companies under your name from entering the Bay Island market, how are you going to respond?"

"This is just a if, but I can answer this question. I respect the decision of the Bay Island side. Any company that is banned from selling will be asked to withdraw from the Bay Island market."

"Lin Sheng, we all know very well that the company under your name was banned because you sided with the mainland, but the company under your name has listed companies. These listed companies were affected for no reason, causing the company's stock price to fall. Isn’t that unfair to other shareholders of the company?”

"It is normal for the stock price of listed companies to fluctuate in the short term. As long as the company's operations do not suffer major losses, the stock price that fluctuates in the short term will soon recover. As long as you believe in my ability, Lin Baicheng, and hold the stock for a long time, I believe it will be able to do so in the future. Deliver returns to investors.”

"Lin Sheng, you are the richest man in Xiangjiang. Faced with the unreasonable blockade from Wandao, do you have any means to fight back?"

"I have said that there is a misunderstanding here. I will let people communicate with the Bay Island side and try to resolve the misunderstanding."

"Lin Sheng."

"..."

Lin Baicheng kept answering reporters' questions. He would answer whatever he could. When faced with questions that were really difficult to answer, he would either lower his profile, answer questions that were not asked, or simply not answer at all.

"Dear journalists, today's interview ends here. It's almost time now. Mr. Lin needs to go back for dinner."

When Lin Baicheng signaled to Chen Huixiang, Chen Huixiang immediately ended the impromptu interview. The bodyguards and security guards also stopped the reporter who wanted to pursue Lin Baicheng to continue the interview.

Lin Baicheng accepted the interview after all, so not all reporters were chasing him, so after being blocked by bodyguards and security guards, he successfully left the company, got on the extended Lincoln, and went back to his villa in Repulse Bay.

"Xiao Chen, pay attention to the subsequent media reports. I don't want reports to distort what I said."

Lin Baicheng said to Chen Huixiang that he came from decades later, but he knew very well that some reporters often intercepted what the interviewees said, completely distorted the meaning of what the interviewees said, and produced shocking reports in order to increase newspaper sales. He didn't want this to happen to him.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, I will make people pay attention." Chen Huixiang nodded to express her understanding.

Lin Baicheng: "I went to Galaxy Games in the afternoon. Although the Bay Island market has little impact on the company's revenue and profits, it is a listed company. It is still necessary to discuss this matter with the board of directors and respect all directors."

Lin Baicheng is the absolute majority shareholder of Galaxy Games, so he doesn't have to worry about anyone challenging his position, but respect is mutual. He can't ignore other shareholders when the company's interests are harmed because of him. That would be too arrogant.

People who are too arrogant will have no friends and will be unlucky sooner or later.

Chen Huixiang nodded: "I will contact President Charlie Yuan."

Extended Lincoln returned to the Repulse Bay Villa, Lin Baicheng went to the restaurant to dine, and Chen Huixiang went to dine with the bodyguards. As her personal secretary, she had to be with Lin Baicheng all day long, unless Lin Baicheng made it clear that she did not need to follow him at a certain time. .

As a personal secretary, when Lin Baicheng was in Hong Kong, it can be said that Chen Huixiang basically had no private space and time. However, this job not only paid well, but also had a high social status, so it was impossible for Chen Huixiang to give up for this reason. She She never thought about giving up. She knew very well that there were many people who were eager for her to leave her job to free up her position.

When Lin Baicheng returned to the villa for dinner, the reporters who interviewed him returned to the newspaper office to rush for articles. The newspapers with good conditions would temporarily add additional issues for sale, and the remaining ones would be published in the evening.

As for the newspapers that are scheduled to publish the next day, there are none, because news is time-sensitive. If the conditions of the newspapers do not allow it, all newspapers will choose to add additional issues for sale immediately, and spread the relevant reports throughout Hong Kong as soon as possible. .
