Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

In the evening, Hutchison Hotel.

In Lin Baicheng's exclusive box for receiving guests, he, Haruko Mouri, and Mineryu Iwasaki were already seated.

The sumptuous food and wine had been served, and there were only three people left in the box.

Iwasaki Mineryu raised his glass to Haruko Mouri and said: "Moori-san, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful. Come, let's have a drink!"

"Thank you Iwasaki-san!"

Maori Haruko was very happy to hear this. Women like to hear others praise themselves for their beauty.

"Iwasaki-kun, let's touch one too."

After Iwasaki Mineryu took a sip, Lin Baicheng raised his glass.

"please!"

Iwasaki Minelong fills his wine glass.

The three of them ate and chatted, and time passed slowly.

After seeing that the three of them had almost eaten, Lin Baicheng said: "Iwasaki-kun, Qin Lan, the director of my secretariat, told me that Sasaki from Bailong Commercial Company reported that Mitsubishi Bank wanted to establish a partnership with Bailong Commercial Company. The club has deeper cooperation and wants to invest in the company, do you know about this?"

"To be fair to Mr. Lin, I know this."

Of course, it was impossible for Iwasaki Mineryu not to know about this, and he did not hide his knowledge of it.

Seeing Iwasaki Mineryu's admission, Lin Baicheng immediately said: "Iwasaki-kun, we need to talk about this matter."

Iwasaki Mineryu said solemnly: "Mr. Lin, if you have anything to say, just say it."

This time Lin Baicheng did not speak out, but it was Mouri Haruko who spoke up. She said: "Iwasaki-san, the share distribution of Bailong Commercial Association is between Chengjun 51% and 49%. The development of the company is decided by Chengjun. That is to say The control lies in Cheng-kun’s hands.”

"However, once Mitsubishi Bank takes shares, the shares of both Cheng-kun and Iwasaki-san will be diluted. But we all know the relationship between you and Mitsubishi Bank, Iwasaki-san. In this way, the control of the company will be transferred to your hands. This will be very important to Cheng-kun." You are extremely disadvantaged."

Some words are better spoken by Mouri Haruko, and Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Mineryu talk directly. One bad thing will affect the cooperative relationship between the two.

Iwasaki Mineryu immediately said after hearing this: "My support for Mr. Lin will never change. My ability is incomparable to Mr. Lin. I will never compete with Mr. Lin for control of the company. Please forgive me for this." Don’t worry, Mr. Lin.”

"Iwasaki-san, verbal promises are useless."

The one who spoke out was Maori Haruko, she said: "The assets of Bailong Commercial Association have reached 600 million U.S. dollars. If we calculate the valuation, it is at least 800 million U.S. dollars. Let us consider the assets of 600 million U.S. dollars. This is now The scale of assets will reach the level of more than ten to two billion US dollars in a few years. Even if you keep your promise, Iwasaki-san, it does not mean that Mitsubishi Bank will not be tempted and do not want to kick Makoto-kun out of the company."

"Once Mitsubishi Bank wants to kick Makoto-kun out of the company, Iwasaki-san, as a member of the Iwasaki family, I don't think you can refuse. And when Mitsubishi Bank kicks Makoto-kun out of the company, it will definitely usurp Makoto-kun's interests. It’s hard to say how much profit you will be able to get back then.”

"We are all smart people, so there is no need to say some high-sounding words, it is meaningless."

At times like this, we must speak openly and openly. Even though the words are ugly, they are bloody facts.

"this"

Iwasaki Mineryu did not say that he would stand by Lin Baicheng when Mitsubishi Bank targeted Lin Baicheng. Such words were completely making people look like fools, and even he himself did not believe it.

"But Mr. Lin, if Bailong Commercial Association only has two shareholders, the company will not be able to develop. At least it will not be able to continue to develop and grow based on the current scale."

"I know that Bailong Commercial Co., Ltd. really wants to introduce Japanese capital."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, and then said: "But Iwasaki-kun, you don't have to bring in other capital to Mitsubishi Bank. You can bring in Sumitomo, Mitsui and other capital."

Hearing this, Mineryu Iwasaki said: "Lin Jun, the company has received a lot of support from Mitsubishi during its development process, and I am here. Now it is necessary to exclude Mitsubishi who is interested in financing. This is a bit unreasonable."

Lin Baicheng showed his fox tail: "Iwasaki-kun, it is not impossible to introduce Mitsubishi Bank, but I have conditions and I hope you can agree."

"Mr. Lin, please speak."

Iwasaki Mineryu wanted to hear what Lin Baicheng's conditions were.

"The company can normally introduce Mitsubishi Bank to take shares. The amount of financing will be discussed in detail at that time. I hope that no matter how much this financing is, I can maintain control of the company. In other words, my shares can be diluted, but my vote The company must retain the voting rights of 51% of the shares, and the board of directors formed must also have a majority.”

Lin Baicheng said what he wanted. As long as the control of the company was in his hands, he wouldn't have to worry about Mitsubishi Bank kicking him out in the end. Even if Mitsubishi Bank competes for control of the company, as the other party has local advantages, it is impossible for Mitsubishi to control more than half of the rights, but Lin Baicheng's interests will eventually be guaranteed, and this is enough.

What Lin Baicheng is interested in is not the development prospects of Bailong Commercial Club, but the real estate industry has surged after the Plaza Accord. He has made a lot of money along with it. He doesn't care at all who the company will fall into in the future.

Iwasaki Mineryu was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Lin, this is not in compliance with the rules. It is impossible for Mitsubishi Bank to acquire shares without voting rights."

Seeing this, Haruko Mouri said: "Iwasaki-san, since you trust Makoto-kun, you can transfer the voting rights of a certain number of shares to Makoto-kun, so that the company can accept Mitsubishi Bank's investment, and Makoto-kun does not have to worry about his own interests. There is no guarantee.”

After a pause, Haruko Mouri continued: "If Iwasaki-san doesn't want his voting rights to be reduced, that's okay. Financing can still be carried out, but the financing target will not be Mitsubishi Bank, but other capital."

"Take Sumitomo as an example. If the investor is Sumitomo, Makoto-kun won't have to worry so much that Iwasaki-san will easily transfer his shares to Sumitomo. After all, Makoto-kun and Iwasaki-san are good friends and have a lot of interests in each other."

These things Maori Haruko said were what the two had discussed before, but if Lin Baicheng said these words, it would affect their 'friend' relationship, but if Maori Haruko said it, it would be fine.

"That's what Maori-san said."

Iwasaki Mineryu nodded, then looked at Lin Baicheng: "Lin Jun, please give me some time to think about it."

"No problem at all."

Of course Lin Baicheng would have no objection: "It's not too late to talk to me after Mr. Iwasaki has made a decision."

Iwasaki Mineryu said to Lin Baicheng sincerely: "Makoto-kun, no matter what decision I make, I hope this matter will not affect our relationship."

"I believe our 'friendship' will stand the test."

Lin Baicheng smiled. There was a little personal relationship between the two, but it was more of a cooperative relationship based on interests. Once his interests are affected too much, the relationship between the two will inevitably be affected. This is inevitable, no matter how beautiful you say it now.

"Friendship forever!"

Iwasaki Mineryu raised his glass to Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng raised his glass in response and had a drink with Iwasaki Mineryu.

After eating some food, Iwasaki Mineryu said: "Lin Jun, regarding the financing of Bailong Commercial Club, whether we ultimately choose to cooperate with Mitsubishi Bank or other capital, we will also have to cooperate with a political family with considerable political influence. This way, the company can go more smoothly when acquiring land and developing it.”

"Iwasaki-kun, you introduced Sato-san to me just to cooperate with the Sato family?"

Lin Baicheng was moved when he heard this, but he thought of Sato Motoki, who he met under the introduction of Iwasaki Mineryu. Iwasaki Mineryu said that the Sato family is a famous political family in Japan. Although he did not ask too specifically, he thought that the Sato family was in Japan. The influence is not low.

"The Sato family ranks high in strength in the country and has great influence in Tokyo. With the help of the Sato family, the company's development will be smoother. Of course, if you don't want to cooperate with the Sato family, Mr. Lin, we can find other families." , the company would be better off cooperating with a political family that has considerable influence in the country."

Iwasaki Mineryu solemnly said that what he said was purely out of public interest. Bailong Commercial Club can cooperate with any political family, but it does not have to cooperate with the Sato family.

"If Iwasaki-kun, you think it is more appropriate to cooperate with the Sato family, then cooperate with the Sato family. After all, I still know Sato-san, and I am even less familiar with the others."

Lin Baicheng actually doesn't know much about the Sato family, but he doesn't know much about Japan's political families. Other political families are also strangers to him. In this case, it is better to cooperate with the Sato family who has some contacts.

Iwasaki Mineryu immediately said: "Since you have no objection, Mr. Lin, then when the company is financing, we will also bring in the Sato family."

Nodding, Lin Baicheng suddenly said: "Iwasaki-kun, if I want to introduce American partners, is it possible?"

The Sato family and Iwasaki Mineryu must be friends. Regardless of whether the financing source is Mitsubishi Bank or not, the possibility of the other party cooperating with Iwasaki Mineryu is much higher than the possibility of cooperating with him. He cannot be so passive.

"Lin Jun, apart from bringing funds, U.S. capital's investment in the company will not help the company. There is no point in allowing them to invest in it."

Iwasaki Mineryu couldn't help but guess that he had somewhat guessed Lin Baicheng's thoughts. Now he really didn't think about kicking Lin Baicheng out of Bailong Commercial Club, so he felt that there was no need for Lin Baicheng to do this and he could trust him.

But this is not the case in Lin Baicheng's view. The current net assets of Bailong Commercial Association have reached 600 million U.S. dollars. By the time the Plaza Accord is signed in 1985, the asset scale will reach 1.5 billion U.S. dollars.

After the Plaza Accord, the real estate industry entered a state of soaring. A two- or three-fold increase is the least. The assets of Bailong Commercial Association are calculated at four to five billion U.S. dollars, and the market value is likely to reach tens of billions of U.S. dollars.

Let's put these into perspective. If Lin Baicheng holds 20%-30% of the shares, it will be two to three billion US dollars.

With such a large sum of money, Lin Baicheng could not guarantee that Iwasaki Mineryu or other capital would not be tempted and find ways to kick him out. And once you are kicked out, don't even think about getting all the two to three billion US dollars. It is good to be able to get one or two achievements.

Regarding assets of at least two to three billion US dollars, Lin Baicheng will not place any hope in Iwasaki Mineryu's integrity and will not test others. He must find a way to keep his share of wealth.

"If Claure can take a stake, given the strength of the Rockefeller family, it also has considerable influence in Japan, and with the Rockefeller family taking a stake, it will be easier for the company to expand into the U.S. market in the future."

Although Japan's economy is controlled by major consortiums, the United States is Japan's "father" after all. As an American consortium, Lin Baicheng doesn't believe anything that it says has no influence at all in Japan.

Iwasaki Mineryu thought for a while and said: "Lin Jun, I personally have no objection. In this case, when we discuss the company's financing, let's talk about it together."

"Then it's settled, I'll wait for your good news, Iwasaki-kun."

Lin Baicheng believed that Iwasaki Mineryu would bring him good news. If it wasn't good news, he could sell the company while Bailong Commercial Club was still not very big. He would just find another way.

If it really doesn't work, just don't set up a real estate company in Japan and just use the money to buy already developed properties. Doing this will only cost more, but you will still make money, but not as much.

Let’s get down to business here.

After dinner, Lin Baicheng and Mouri Haruko left together, while Iwasaki Mineryu went back on his own.

Lin Baicheng and Mao Li Haruko didn't go anywhere else, they just took the extended Lincoln back to the villa where Mao Li Haruko lived.

in the car.

Haruko Mouri said to Lin Baicheng: "Makoto-kun, I think Iwasaki-san is more likely to let Mitsubishi Bank invest in the company, and then he will transfer part of his voting rights to you."

"It wouldn't hurt for me if he made that decision."

Lin Baicheng quite agrees with this. Although the scale of Bailong Commercial Club is not small now, it is not very big either. At least its interests are not big enough to make Iwasaki Mineryu and Lin Baicheng fall out. Iwasaki Mineryu chose to take a step back. is more likely.

Of course, if Iwasaki Mineryu didn't want to give up his voting rights and asked the company to find other consortiums to cooperate, then Lin Baicheng would not lose anything.

Maori Haruko said: "What is the valuation of Bailong Commercial Club for financing? Is it one billion US dollars?"

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to estimate a billion-dollar valuation. The company's debt is not light, and the profits are not very outstanding. I'm afraid the valuation won't reach one billion US dollars, but at least 800 million US dollars is still available."

"If the valuation is less than $800 million, then I will not agree to let the company raise funds."

Lin Baicheng is now not sure how much the Bailong Commercial Club will be valued when financing. He leaves professional matters to professionals. However, he has a psychological price. If it is lower than this price, he will not agree to the financing.

After Lin Baicheng and Maori Haruko returned to the villa, it was still early, so they watched TV for a while.

Lin Baicheng naturally spent the night at Maori Haruko's place that night, and had dinner with Maori Haruko the next morning. However, at nine o'clock, he sent Maori Haruko to the airport. The operation team brought by Maori Haruko was already waiting at the airport. On fire.
