Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

On Sunday night, Lin Baicheng contacted Xiangjiang.

Lin Baicheng first contacted his sister Lin Shufang, and learned from Lin Shufang that Maori Haruko had brought people to Xiangjiang. In addition, he also learned that Qin Lan and the others' entrustment by Wall Street institutions was not going well. He had to ask Qin Lan for the specific situation.

After learning that these two important things were the only ones, Lin Baicheng chatted with his sister for a short while before ending the call and contacting Qin Lan instead.

From Qin Lan, Lin Baicheng learned that there are currently six institutions with offices in Xiangjiang, including Goldman Sachs. Qin Lan arranged for people to visit these five institutions yesterday. None of them made a decision on the same day and said they would consider it. .

In the afternoon, Qin Lan communicated with these five institutions again. After all, tomorrow is Monday. In the end, only two institutions accepted Qin Lan's entrustment in the name of offshore companies, namely Citigroup and Morgan Stanley.

Needless to say, Citi has cooperation with Lin Baicheng in the United States, and Citi also wants to have more in-depth cooperation with Lin Baicheng.

Morgan Stanley, also known as Morgan Stanley, was the same company as JP Morgan before the Great Depression in the United States. At that time, Morgan Stanley was just the investment arm of JP Morgan. Later, the U.S. Congress passed relevant bills to prohibit companies from also providing commercial banks. and investment banking services.

Therefore, Morgan Stanley has since been spun off from JP Morgan, with the former becoming Morgan Stanley and the latter becoming JP Morgan or Seymour.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the other three institutions that did not accept the entrustment. Even Citigroup and Morgan Stanley, which accepted the entrustment, said that they wanted to establish a foothold in Hong Kong and did not want to offend the British capital too much. Therefore, they did not want to participate in the British capital and Lin Baicheng's many In the air battle, he only accepted Lin Baicheng's commission because he wanted to have more cooperation with Lin Baicheng and make friends with Lin Baicheng.

In the end, the two institutions accepted the entrustment, but there was a limit to the purchase of Hutchison Whampoa shares. After negotiation, they each accepted the entrustment to purchase 6.6 million Hutchison Whampoa shares. The less money they spent to purchase the stocks, the less remuneration they could get. The more.

The two institutions each bought 1.5% of the shares, adding up to 3%, only a little more than the number of shares purchased by Goldman Sachs.

After reducing his shareholding, Lin Baicheng holds 110 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa, which is 25% of the total share capital. Counting these purchased shares, he will hold nearly 31% of the shares, which is 49.99% away from the upper limit. % shares, he can also buy 19% of Hutchison Whampoa shares.

After the calculation, Lin Baicheng asked: "13.2 million shares, do you think it can raise Hutchison Whampoa's stock price?"

"Now we can't be sure whether there are other means that the British capital has not used, and we don't know how determined the British capital is. If the British capital sees that there are funds buying and chooses to continue shorting and suppressing, it will cost about one billion. Funding may not work.”

"Mr. Lin, I think it's better for you to ask other people for help. Keep a trump card. If the British capital continues to short-sell and suppress the stock price, you can let them buy the stock."

"Hutchison Whampoa has fallen a lot now, and the downside of the stock price is limited. As long as there are a lot of funds short selling, I believe more investors will choose to wait and see, or let others follow suit and enter the market to do long."

Qin Lan said her thoughts. After all, she still felt that it was not safe enough.

"I know, I will make arrangements for these."

Lin Baicheng did not tell Qin Lan that he had called Maori Haruko back. British capital must have spent a lot of money on Hutchison Whampoa's short selling. The rise and fall of Hutchison Whampoa's stock price may have an impact on British capital of up to ten digits. Therefore, He wasn't sure if anyone in the secretariat had been bribed, so there was no need to tell Qin Lan everything.

"Speaking of which, is there any progress regarding the Securities Regulatory Commission's restriction on my stock trading?"

Lin Baicheng has not forgotten this matter. In fact, as long as it is resolved here, the matter will be simple. He can just increase the holdings and buy them in his own name. There is no need to entrust a Wall Street institution at all, and he can also save a high commission fee. .

Qin Lan said: "I have contacted the deputy director of the Economic Bureau who is good with Mr. Lin. He said that he would ask about the matter on Monday, but he also reminded that it was another director of the bureau who was not dealing with him. We will definitely intervene when the time comes, and if the British capital contacts the other party, it goes without saying."

Currently, the Securities Supervisory Commission is a department under the Economic Bureau.

"Where is Director Neisser? Could it be that you haven't contacted him?"

Lin Baicheng frowned slightly after hearing this. Neisser, an old white man, had taken a lot of benefits from him. If he wanted to just take the benefits and not do anything, there is no such thing in the world.

"Director Neisser went to London the night before you were restricted from entering the market. It is said that he had official business to report to London. We can't contact him yet," Qin Lan replied.

"This old guy must have done it on purpose."

Lin Baicheng was very dissatisfied. The other party obviously did not want to offend either party, so he chose to leave Xiangjiang temporarily. However, Neisser did not inform Lin Baicheng in advance that he would be restricted from entering the stock market. This shows that no matter what the reason, Neisser's behavior The guy is slightly more British.

Lin Baicheng noted this down, but now is not the time to think about it.

Lin Baicheng said: "Contact as many people as possible to put pressure on the Supervisory Committee. As for Sir Max, don't contact me. As long as the Hong Kong government does not carry out targeted suppression of my company, this matter will not involve Sir Sir Max." .”

Lin Baicheng had other choices, so he was not going to ask for help from MacLehose. MacLehose, the Hong Kong Governor, was not so ungrateful. Instead of owing favors to Mailihao, he might as well owe favors to Iwasaki Mineryu and others, so that the favors he owes can be lighter.

"Okay Mr. Lin."

Qin Lan responded and expressed her understanding.

"If there's nothing else, let's do this first."

Lin Baicheng ended the call and then contacted Maori Haruko.

After a while, Lin Baicheng contacted Maori Haruko.

"Makoto-kun!"

"Haruko, you will arrange for someone to go to the Bank of East Asia tomorrow morning and entrust the Bank of East Asia to buy Hutchison Whampoa's shares. As long as Hutchison Whampoa's stock price is below 80 Hong Kong dollars, I will continue to buy as much as I can."

"Don't come forward yet. After all, there are many people in Xiangjiang who know you, and they know that you are mine."

"For funds, just exchange the U.S. dollars from the offshore company for Hong Kong dollars, and get a loan from the Bank of East Asia for the missing part. If the Bank of East Asia doesn't lend or the loan approval time is too slow, you can get a loan from Galaxy Bank. Then you can hide it for as long as you can. How long?"

Lin Baicheng informed Haruko Mouri of his arrangement. Borrowing the channels of the Bank of East Asia can play a certain secretive role, so that the British capital cannot know at the first time that Lin Baicheng's funds are buying a large amount of Hutchison Whampoa stocks.

Although it is okay for the British capital to know that it is Lin Baicheng's funds that are buying a large amount of Hutchison Whampoa stocks. After all, it is in the name of an offshore company and cannot contact Lin Baicheng, but the British capital will definitely choose to run away after learning about this. , British capital’s short selling will not suffer losses.

Now that he is buying Hutchison Whampoa's stock, Lin Baicheng certainly wants to kill the rabbit and defeat the short-selling British capital. At least he cannot allow the British capital to make huge profits on Hutchison Whampoa. The increase in the enemy's strength will not do him any good.

Haruko Maori: "There should be no problem with funds, but if necessary, I will ask Sister Fang."

"Well, you can figure it out yourself anyway."

Lin Baicheng believed that with Mouri Haruko's ability, he did not need to remind him repeatedly about details.

After that, Lin Baicheng and Maori Haruko chatted for a while and then ended the call.

After thinking for a while, Lin Baicheng contacted Iwasaki Mineryu and told him about the possibility of asking him to help buy Hutchison Whampoa shares. Iwasaki Mineryu agreed after thinking about it briefly, but he said he would not He will buy in the name of Mitsubishi Bank and will only buy Hutchison Whampoa shares in his own name.

Lin Baicheng didn't care about this. He knew that Mitsubishi Bank didn't want to offend the British capital in Hong Kong. Iwasaki Mineryu also wanted to consider his own future. If he bought in his own name, even if he offended the British capital, it would just mean that he would be transferred from the headquarters. Just being away from Hong Kong is much better than letting Mitsubishi Bank offend British capital and being unable to gain a foothold in Hong Kong.

Lin Baicheng did not ask Iwasaki Mineryu to buy the stock on Monday, but said that he would wait until Lin Shufang contacted him before entering the market to buy. He was just acting as an insurance policy. Iwasaki Mineryu was not worried that this move would offend the British capital. The deeper the relationship, the more interests he has with Lin Baicheng.

Without submitting a confession, from the perspective of interests alone, Iwasaki Mineryu would also side with Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng only contacted Iwasaki Mineryu, but not Guo Henian and Zheng Yudong. He contacted Iwasaki Mineryu just as an insurance policy. If he really needed it, he could contact Guo Henian and others tomorrow night for help.

Lin Baicheng finally contacted his sister Lin Shufang and told Lin Shufang what they had agreed with Iwasaki Mineryu. If necessary, Iwasaki Mineryu could be asked to help.

After that, Lin Baicheng didn't contact Xiangjiang anymore. He had done what he could. He didn't know what the situation would be on Monday. We would wait until the results came out.

For Lin Baicheng, tomorrow is also Monday, but the mainland side is more important. The meeting with official leaders is much more important than the things in Hong Kong. Building a good relationship with the mainland officials will affect Lin Baicheng's future decades. career prospects.

…

Monday, April 21st.

In the morning, Lin Baicheng and others, led by Lin Zhan and others, went to Zhongnanhai, where they will go to meet and talk with official leaders today.

At this time, it was of course impossible for Chen Huixiang and the two bodyguards to go with them. The three of them were left at the State Guesthouse. It happened that Lin Baicheng needed Chen Huixiang to stay at the State Guesthouse to maintain contact with Xiangjiang. If something major happened in Xiangjiang, contact here. If so, Lin Baicheng would be able to find out from Chen Huixiang as soon as possible after returning.

When Lin Baicheng and others met with the official leaders, Xiangjiang was not calm either.

Early in the morning, the branches of Citigroup and Morgan Stanley in Hong Kong were raided and inspected. It was said that someone reported that the two companies were laundering money for foreign forces, so the two companies needed to cooperate with the investigation.

Citigroup and Morgan Stanley didn't know that they were being targeted, and they even guessed the reason for being targeted. But this is Xiangjiang, and the two companies didn't have much energy and could only cooperate with the investigation, but they still contacted Qin Lan as soon as possible. , inform this matter.

After learning about it, Qin Lan contacted Lin Shufang. After obtaining Lin Shufang's consent, she contacted her own people in the Hong Kong government to clear the two companies of suspicion and hoped that the two companies could return to normal as soon as possible.

Now that the two companies are under investigation, they are no longer able to conduct stock buying and selling transactions.

Qin Lan originally wanted to report the matter to Lin Baicheng, but Lin Shufang told her not to worry and let Qin Lan continue to do what she should do and lift the Securities Regulatory Commission's restrictions on Lin Baicheng as soon as possible.

After hearing this, Qin Lan didn't know that her boss had prepared a back-up plan, but she didn't know about the back-up plan. Although she was a little disappointed and felt that she was not fully trusted by the big boss, Lin Shufang was the big boss's biological sister. It's not unacceptable that the big boss trusts his sister more.

Lin Shufang said to Qin Lan: "Director Qin, if you have extra energy, I hope you can find out how Yingzi knew about your entrustment to Citigroup and Morgan Stanley. After all, you just told Mr. Lin yesterday that the entrustment was concluded. Today But it turned out like this, and it’s obvious that things were not done well.”

"Don't worry, Vice President Lin. I'll have people do the investigation, but I believe this is definitely not an internal problem within us."

Qin Lan said immediately that Lin Shufang had already thought of this without telling her. In fact, she was not sure whether there was an internal problem, but she could only pray that it was not an internal problem, otherwise she, the director of the department, would definitely be jointly and severally responsible.

Lin Shufang reminded aloud: "Things have priorities. The most important thing now is to let the Supervisory Committee lift the restrictions on Mr. Lin. Director Qin, please don't put the cart before the horse."

"Thank you, Vice President Lin, for the reminder."

Of course Qin Lan knew the priority of the matter, but she still expressed her gratitude to Lin Shufang because Lin Shufang's reminder was out of good intentions.

After Qin Lan left, Lin Shufang contacted Mao Li Qingzi and told Mao Li Qingzi about Qin Lan's changes, and asked Mao Li Qingzi to buy Hutchison Whampoa's shares.

After eight o'clock in the morning, Haruko Mouri arranged for someone to go to the Bank of East Asia, and is still negotiating with the Bank of East Asia.

In the newspapers this morning, there were a few negative news about Hutchison Whampoa, which is barely negative. However, under the current circumstances, any negative news may be over-interpreted, so how much will the stock price be affected by this? It’s really hard to say.

After the stock market opened, the funds shorting Hutchison Whampoa made a tacit choice to suppress Hutchison Whampoa's stock price, causing Hutchison Whampoa to open lower.

Hutchison Whampoa opened more than two points lower. After the official opening, the stock price fluctuated downwards. There were buying orders, but there were more selling orders.

At this time, the people arranged by Haruko Mouri were still negotiating with the Bank of East Asia, and the amount of funds here had not yet entered the market.

Time flies to ten o'clock in the morning, and a news spreads throughout the exchange. It is said that an important official in the Hong Kong government has expressed the need to investigate the whereabouts of the tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in funds that Lin Baicheng reduced and cashed out, and investigated whether Lin Baicheng used the cashed-out funds to support mainland development.

When the news came out, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price immediately fell sharply. Hutchison Whampoa's stock price, which originally fell by more than three points, fell by more than eight points in the next ten minutes, and it continues to fall. Falling.
