Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

On a moving train.

It was very boring on the train. After dinner, Lin Baicheng sat and chatted with Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang, and Hu Yinxiang, who were close friends.

Although there are a total of about ten people going to the mainland this time, and everyone is siding with the mainland, but even so, they are not all very familiar with each other, and not all of them have a very good relationship.

Speaking of which, Huo Yingdong, who was born in the red family, has a good relationship with everyone, and it can be said that Huo Yingdong is the leader of everyone. Although Huo Yingdong is not as rich as Lin Baicheng, and may not even be as good as Bao Yugang, but his social status In terms of ranking, Huo Yingdong is definitely above Lin Baicheng and Bao Yugang.

Let alone Huo Yingdong, Lin Baicheng's social status in Xiangjiang is not even as high as Bao Yugang's, at least that's what everyone thinks.

After all, it was only a few years ago that Lin Baicheng made his fortune, and the Lin family was still an ordinary citizen family before, not a deep-rooted wealthy family, and had no marriage relationship with other families. In terms of influence, he could only rely on himself, and his influence has grown in just a few years. There is no way to reach a very high level.

Only in a few years, as Lin Baicheng's wealth continues to accumulate and he has been the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, will Lin Baicheng's influence continue to increase and gradually surpass Bao Yugang and even Huo Yingdong to become the number one person in Hong Kong.

After all, Xiangjiang is a capital society, very similar to Western countries. Wealth is the decisive factor, and human relationships come second. However, the influence brought by wealth takes time to ferment, and it does not mean that it can be realized immediately.

"Lin Sheng, I heard you guys talking about starting an airline a while ago. Why is there no news from behind?"

Of course it was Huo Yingdong who asked. Bao Yugang and Hu Yinxiang are both shareholders of the airline. They know the current situation of the company very well.

"It's not that there's no movement, it's that it didn't work out and was delayed." It was Bao Yugang who replied.

Hu Yinxiang also said: "We all contributed, but unfortunately the British capital tried their best to stop it. It was not that easy to accomplish this. In the end, it was all thanks to Lin Sheng."

Huo Yingdong immediately said: "What do you mean, the matter is done?"

Bao Yugang and Hu Yinxiang did not answer, but looked at Lin Baicheng.

Upon seeing this, Lin Baicheng said: "That's about it. I have talked with Sir Mike. Hutchison Whampoa will invest in England, and the Hong Kong government will support us in starting an airline. Hutchison Whampoa's investment in England is about to be finalized. When it is finalized, Once it’s down, the airline can officially start operations.”

"So that's it."

Huo Yingdong couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and said: "I think Hutchison Whampoa's investment in the UK this time is not low, right? Without a large investment, the Hong Kong government cannot easily let go." He was very clear about the greed of the British people. How can you be willing to eat meat?

"Well, the investment is not low."

Lin Baicheng did not say the specific amount. There is no need to go into such detail now. After all, the acquisition has not been truly successful yet.

"Mr. Lin!"

Wang Yiping came over from another carriage at this time: "I'm disturbing a few of you from chatting."

"Comrade Wang is here to see Lin Sheng?"

Wang Yiping called Lin Baicheng as soon as he came in. Huo Yingdong guessed that the other party came specifically to see Lin Baicheng.

When Lin Baicheng heard this, he couldn't help but look at Wang Yiping in confusion. Could it be that he really came to see him specifically? What are you doing with him at this time?

Wang Yiping nodded and said to Lin Baicheng: "Mr. Lin, there's a call from Xiangjiang. It's your sister, Ms. Lin, saying she has something important to ask you for."

Lin Baicheng and others took a special train, not an ordinary train, so they had communication with the outside world, but it was not that convenient.

"Thank you, President Wang. President Wang, please lead the way."

Lin Baicheng stood up immediately, feeling a little worried. He knew that if something big had not happened, his sister Lin Shufang would not have gone to Xinhua News Agency to contact him. After all, he had made an explanation before leaving Xiangjiang, and he only hoped that what happened would not happen. It's only too serious.

Wang Yiping took Lin Baicheng and left.

Watching the two people leave, Bao Yugang said in a deep voice: "It seems that something big happened over there in Xiangjiang, and it was something bad related to Lin Sheng, otherwise it wouldn't have happened like this."

"Do you think it's the Hong Kong government or even the British government that is blocking Lin Sheng's industry?"

Hu Yinxiang talked about his speculation. The reason why the Bay Island side blocked Lin Baicheng's company was because Lin Baicheng sided with the mainland. The British would definitely be dissatisfied with this, so there was a high possibility that the British would also come forward to suppress Lin Baicheng.

"I hope that's not the case. If that's the case, then the matter is serious."

Huo Yingdong looked solemn. Lin Baicheng had withstood the pressure from Wandao, but it was hard to say whether he would withstand the pressure from England. Once Lin Baicheng retreated, it would inevitably affect the position of many people.

Furthermore, even if Lin Baicheng survives this time, the companies under Lin Baicheng's name will definitely suffer a major blow and their strength will be greatly damaged. Those businessmen who have not yet taken sides will definitely be frightened and will not dare to take sides in the mainland.

Both Bao Yugang and Hu Yinxiang were wondering whether it would be what they thought. At the same time, they were also thinking about the impact of this incident and the impact on themselves.

Lin Baicheng followed Wang Yiping to a carriage. Wang Yiping called the people in the carriage out, leaving Lin Baicheng to answer the phone by himself.

"Hello, I'm Lin Baicheng."

"Baicheng, it's me, something happened."

Lin Shufang's voice sounded from the microphone.

"Sister, it doesn't matter no matter how big the matter is, don't worry, just tell me what happened."

Lin Baicheng expressed relief. Although he was a little worried, he was not too worried, because as long as nothing happened to his parents, family, and the woman he liked, he could still sustain his career even if the Hong Kong government or even the British government personally suppressed his career.

For Lin Baicheng, even if all his careers are suppressed now, as long as the nearly 20 billion US dollars in his account are still there, he will still be a super rich man, and it will not be easy to make a comeback.

Lin Baicheng once prepared for the worst, that is, all businesses would be suppressed, and Britain and even the United States would be put under pressure, making it difficult for each enterprise to survive. Then he would invest all his funds in the Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company and use his genius brain to carry out Drug Discovery.

As long as the medicine is effective and Western countries cannot block it even if they want to, Lin Baicheng can still make money. When we enter the 21st century, it will be his world again.

"good!"

Lin Shufang relaxed a little and said: "At three o'clock in the afternoon, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price fell sharply, and a large amount of funds were shorted by Hutchison Whampoa. Today, the decline was nearly 10%, and the stock price closed at HK$85.1. Also, at 6 p.m. When the time came, the evening paper published by the Asia Wall Street Journal reported that Baicheng had reduced your holdings in Hutchison Whampoa, saying that you had cashed out tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in cash."

"Obviously, someone is targeting Hutchison Whampoa. They first shorted Hutchison Whampoa, causing Hutchison Whampoa's stock price to plummet, and then asked newspapers to report that you were reducing your shareholdings, causing panic among investors and causing Hutchison Whampoa's stock price to plummet."

"I have discussed it with the secretaries in the Secretariat. We think this is probably the work of British capital, and they suddenly took advantage of you to go to the mainland, and there may be some dirty tricks behind it."

"Furthermore, if Baicheng's reduction of Hutchison shares is reported, it will not only cause Hutchison's stock price to plummet, but it will also have an impact on your reputation. Those investors who have suffered losses in the stock market will only Put the blame on you.”

"Finally, we are worried about the attitude of the Hong Kong government. If the Hong Kong government also speaks out against you, then not only will Hutchison Whampoa's stock price continue to fall, but the operations of other companies under your name will also be affected. ."

Before contacting Xinhua News Agency, Lin Shufang first discussed with Qin Lan and others, and then tried to contact Li Fuquan at the suggestion of Qin Lan and others to see if she could contact Lin Baicheng, but she didn't expect that she could.

"What else?"

Lin Baicheng asked after hearing this.

"These are serious enough, Baicheng, what else do you want?" Lin Shufang asked.

Lin Baicheng: "I mean, apart from the sharp drop in Hutchison Whampoa's share price and the report that I reduced my shareholding, are there any other bad things that happened?"

"temporarily unavailable."

Lin Shufang said: "This matter is not trivial. No one knows whether the British capital has other means or whether the Hong Kong government will intervene. After all, your acceptance of the official invitation from the mainland to go to the mainland is equivalent to siding with the mainland. The Hong Kong government may They will suppress you like they did on the Bay Island."

"Well, I know this."

Lin Baicheng first expressed that he understood this, and then said: "As for Hutchison Whampoa being shorted, you don't have to worry. Just follow what I told you. If Hutchison Whampoa's stock price continues to fall, buy it for me. I want to see it." How much money the bears have on the short side.”

Lin Shufang: "Then what should you do about reducing your holdings and cashing out? The reaction from the outside world will definitely be great."

"There is no relevant law in Xiangjiang that requires shareholders to make an announcement in advance when reducing their shareholdings. I have not broken any laws, so I don't have to worry about this."

"However, in order to prevent my reputation from being affected, there will definitely be reporters who want to interview you tomorrow. You can make an explanation on my behalf and say that I am reducing my shareholdings for charity. It just so happens that a charity fund is being established in Xiangjiang for charity. When the time comes, just do more good deeds.”

"Also, tomorrow you ask Qin Lan and the others to contact the Hong Kong government to see what the Hong Kong government's attitude is. In addition, they can contact and communicate more with those 'own people'. In my benefit, if I need You have to do your best for me when you are here, my money is not free."

Lin Baicheng responded in a clear and logical manner. Although this incident was not small, in his opinion, it was not big either, and it was not to the point of the earth falling apart.

"Okay, I will do as you say."

Lin Shufang responded aloud. With Lin Baicheng's arrangements, she immediately felt more relieved.

"Tomorrow is Friday, and the next few days are the key. If those who short Hutchison Whampoa have any conspiracy, they will definitely bring it out. If you really don't know how to deal with it then, just stay the same to cope with the changes. Contact me through Xinhua News Agency .”

"Of course, if it's not a serious situation, don't contact me for the time being. I'll be in Peiping in just over a day, and I'll definitely be in touch with you on Saturday."

Lin Baicheng then chatted with Lin Shufang for a short while and then ended the call.

"I'm causing trouble for you, President Wang."

Walking to another carriage, Lin Baicheng expressed his gratitude to Wang Yiping.

Wang Yiping immediately said: "This is not causing trouble, it is what we should do."

Lin Baicheng expressed his thanks again, and then walked towards the car at the back. In the middle, he saw the three of Huo Baohu and others chatting. After seeing Lin Baicheng come back, the three of them immediately followed Lin Baicheng to the car where they had been chatting.

Arriving in the carriage, Bao Yugang asked directly: "Lin Sheng, what happened over there in Xiangjiang?"

"Well, something happened."

Lin Baicheng briefly talked about the fact that Hutchison Whampoa's stock price plummeted due to short selling, and that it was reported that he had reduced his shareholding. Even if he didn't tell them, they would know about it when they get in touch with Xiangjiang in Beiping, so there's no need to hide it.

"I didn't expect such a big thing to happen. Apparently Kong took advantage of Lin Sheng's inconvenience in communicating with you when you came to the mainland to make a sudden attack."

When he said this, Bao Yugang was thinking about Lin Baicheng's reduction of a large number of Hutchison Whampoa shares to obtain tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in cash. This is more than ten billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. There is certainly no family in Hong Kong that has so much cash. .

"Lin Sheng, you are so powerful. You cashed out tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars without saying a word. Hong Kong will definitely explode tomorrow."

Hu Yinxiang was very emotional. The amount of cash that Lin Baicheng cashed out was more than his entire net worth. It was really irritating to know that Lin Baicheng became rich only three years ago.

Huo Yingdong reminded aloud: "Lin Sheng, you have to handle this matter well. Hutchison Whampoa's stock price plummeted due to being shorted. It happened that at this time, it was reported that you reduced your holdings and cashed out tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Those on this stock Investors who have lost money will definitely blame you, thinking that you took away their money."

Lin Baicheng nodded to express his understanding: "Thank you Huo Sheng for reminding me. I also know this. I have asked my sister and my subordinates to prepare for it."

"Lin Sheng, the attitude of the Hong Kong government is particularly important at this time. The Hong Kong government must not suppress the companies under your name. Otherwise, it will affect the whole body, and all your companies in Hong Kong will be affected. Not one of them will be affected. Well, it will be troublesome if you are regarded as the target of establishing power."

Bao Yugang solemnly reminded that Lin Baicheng has a very good relationship with him now, and the two have a lot of cooperation, so he does not want anything to happen to Lin Baicheng, his partner, as that will not do him any good.

"Lin Sheng, you should pay more attention."

Hu Yinxiang also said that he and Bao Yugang had the same idea.

"I'll pay attention, thank you."

Lin Baicheng was waiting for the enemy to continue to attack. Under the current situation, he could only passively accept the attack. Who told him that he was not in Xiangjiang at the moment? Even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't do anything.

Many times, if you want to do something, you need Lin Baicheng to come forward in person. Lin Shufang, Qin Lan and others cannot represent him, and others will not recognize them. Only Lin Baicheng can come forward in person.

The special train travels all the way north.

This night, Xiangjiang seemed peaceful, but secretly it was not at all peaceful. Many people could not sleep at this night, thinking about what would happen tomorrow.
