Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Lin Baicheng returned to the villa in Repulse Bay.

"Mr. Lin, since you are back, when do you think it would be more appropriate to hold the celebration party for the acquisition of Bentley Motors?"

Qin Lan came to the villa with Lin Baicheng, but Chen Huixiang was arranged to serve Abigail Johnson.

Lin Baicheng asked: "When do you think it is more appropriate?"

Qin Lan did not answer, but asked: "Mr. Lin, do you want to have a grand celebration banquet this time?"

"Big deal?"

Lin Baicheng pondered for a moment and shook his head: "There is no need for a big event. The production and sales of Bentley cars will be mainly in the European market. They will not be put on sale in Xiangjiang in a short time. The guests invited to the banquet will be those of mine. Just old friends.”

"OK."

Qin Lan responded: "If that's the case, including leaving two days for the guests to arrange their itinerary, after Thursday, you can use any day you think is suitable."

"Look, if no one is holding a similar party on Friday, then put it on Friday."

Xiangjiang is only so big, and there are only so many people. If other big shots hold similar banquets, the time will definitely be different. Otherwise, holding a banquet on that day even though you know the other party is going to hold a banquet on that day will only make people think that you are deliberately looking for trouble and offend the person in vain.

To give a simple example, if Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang, who have a good relationship with Lin Baicheng, happen to have something to do and hold a banquet on Friday night, and send invitations to Lin Baicheng and other tycoons, Lin Baicheng is not suitable to hold a banquet on Friday night. There's a banquet.

In this case, there is no need to let anyone give in. If the status is similar and the relationship is good, then whoever decides to hold the banquet first will hold it first, and the latter will change the time.

Of course, if the relationship between the two parties is normal or hostile, then there is no need to worry so much. It is possible to have a banquet on a coincidental date, or even to hold a banquet on a deliberately coincidental date.

"yes!"

Qin Lan nodded to express that he understood that the preparation work was the work of his subordinates. After it was completed, he would report to Lin Baicheng. The specific time must be decided by Lin Baicheng, the big boss.

Lin Baicheng waved his hand: "You go ahead and do your work first. I have nothing else to do here for the time being." He had just returned to Xiangjiang and he was not going to do any work in the afternoon.

"Mr. Lin, I'll leave first."

Qin Lan bowed slightly and left.

"Where are my father and my mother?"

Lin Baicheng asked the servant on the side. He knew that Mother Lin and Lin Qin had returned from the United States.

"Brother Lin!"

Before the servant could answer, Guan Zhilin ran over.

"Jiahui!"

Lin Baicheng knew that Guan Zhilin came back to Xiangjiang with Lin's mother and the others, but he was a little surprised that she appeared at home.

"Brother Lin, I miss you so much!"

Guan Zhilin hugged Lin Baicheng tightly. She and Lin Baicheng hadn't seen each other for a while.

"Jiahui, I miss you too."

Holding the beauty in his arms, Lin Baicheng kissed her on the forehead. The reason why he didn't kiss her lips was because he saw Mother Lin, Lin Qin and Lin Shufang from the direction where Guan Zhilin was running.

"Mom, dad, where are the others?"

Lin Baicheng took Guan Zhilin and walked towards Mother Lin and the others.

"Your dad went to see the garden."

Mother Lin replied, and then said: "Son, when you come back this time, you won't be going on a business trip again soon, right?"

"It's hard to say, but I will stay at home for at least half a month."

Lin Baicheng has not forgotten that he will go to the United States around June. There are many things there that need to be dealt with personally. For example, the establishment of a charity fund, the acquisition of communication technology, and the need to meet with Reagan again to express support during the election year, etc.

"I won't say much about business matters. Don't make yourself so tired, do you understand?"

Mother Lin would not interfere in business matters. She was concerned about her son's health. She often traveled to various countries and was worried that her son would be exhausted.

"Thank you for your concern, Mom. I know, so don't worry."

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded. His physical fitness was very good, and he took either a private jet or an extended-length Lincoln on his business trip. When he got there, the food and accommodation were not bad, so it was not hard at all.

"Is there something wrong at the manor?"

The manor is actually the new home of the Lin family under construction. Construction started last year and it occupies a huge area. It is planned to be completed next year, so it is still very early.

"If anything could go wrong, your dad just wants to see it. After all, it will be the place where the family inherits from now on."

After the new home is built, as long as there are no major problems with the development of the Lin family in the future, the new home will be passed down as the ancestral home of the Lin family. Not to mention Father Lin, Mother Lin will sometimes visit and inspect it.

"It's okay to visit occasionally and act as a supervisor."

Lin Baicheng has no objection to Lin's father and Lin's mother visiting the construction site from time to time. In his budget, the cost of building the Lin family can reach up to one billion Hong Kong dollars. You must know that this is one billion Hong Kong dollars in 1980. The materials used and so on are better. The messenger.

With such a high cost, even though Lin Baicheng has sent a team to supervise it, who knows if there are any omissions or corruption by the people below. After the manor is completed, it will be the future residence of the Lin family, so it must not be a shoddy project. Occasionally, it will be done. Can play the role of supervision and beating.

Human nature cannot stand the test, so it is best not to test others or give the people below you a chance to reach out. This way, nothing will happen, and at least the probability of something happening can be minimized.

"Mom, how are Xiaoqin's grades?"

Lin Baicheng usually didn't care much about Lin Qin's study situation. Now that she was on spring break, she just thought of this matter. Of course, Lin Baicheng had to care about Lin Qin's grades.

Let’s not talk about the next generation of the Lin family. Currently, the only person in the Lin family who is working hard in business is Lin Baicheng. Lin Shufang can only count half of it. Her abilities are limited and she can only play the role of assistance and supervision.

If Lin Qin's grades are good and he can achieve success in business management in the future, he can help Lin Baicheng in many places and become his right-hand man.

Lin Qin is Lin Baicheng's biological sister. Compared with other professional managers, Lin Baicheng will definitely trust her more innately.

Before Mother Lin could answer, Lin Qin said first, "Brother, my academic performance is much better than when you were studying before."

"Look how proud you are."

Mother Lin glanced at her: "Your grades can only be said to be pretty good. There are many people with better grades than you, so you have to work harder."

"Mom, I just went to the United States to study and I wasn't used to it. Now that I'm used to it, my grades will get better and better."

Lin Qin was a little unconvinced. After all, Los Angeles was a foreign country and her life was fine, but the school environment was definitely not comparable to that in Xiangjiang. She needed to adapt, so she didn't learn well at first, but then she gradually got used to it and started to catch up.

"My little sister is very smart, and her grades are at the top, which is already very good."

Lin Shufang said that before Lin Baicheng became rich, among the three children of the Lin family, Lin Qin was the smartest and had the best academic performance.

Lin Baicheng's grades were not very good. Before Lin Baicheng was reincarnated and traveled back in time, his predecessor graduated from Form 5. He was not admitted to college because of his poor grades.

“It’s indeed very good to be ranked among the top.”

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and said to Lin Qin: "Xiaoqin, keep it up, I don't require you to win the first place, just be in the top ten. Of course, the higher the score, the better. The knowledge you learn is ultimately yours, not for others.”

"Brother, I know."

Lin Qin nodded heavily. She was quite sensible. She knew that the more knowledge she learned, the better, and the higher her grades, the better.

"Mom, I have something to tell you. A business partner of mine from the United States is here in Xiangjiang. I will entertain her at home for dinner tonight."

When entertaining Abigail Johnson for a meal, Lin Baicheng must tell his family in advance.

"Come to dine at home? Okay, I get it!"

Lin's mother was a little surprised. You should know that Lin Baicheng rarely invited business friends to his home for dinner or anything like that.

"Sister, why don't you stay for dinner together tonight?"

Lin Baicheng turned to Lin Shufang and said that the reason why Cheng Yufeng was not promoted was because Cheng Yufeng was not in Xiangjiang now. The Watsons supermarket he was responsible for was expanding overseas, and he, the person in charge, had to frequently go to various places for inspections.

"good!"

Of course Lin Shufang would not refuse.

"Brother Lin, can I stay?"

Guan Zhilin next to him immediately spoke up.

"Let Jiahui stay."

Mother Lin has already regarded Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong as prospective daughters-in-law. She has no sectarian opinions and is quite satisfied with them now. As for her son, she has no objections. She hopes that Lin Baicheng will open up branches for the Lin family.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to inform her later."

Lin Baicheng had no objection, he still hoped to accompany him throughout his life.

"Thank you, aunt!"

If possible, Guan Zhilin certainly didn't want Zhong Chuhong to come, but she knew that there were some things that she couldn't object to, and it was useless even if she objected, so she didn't say anything.

After everyone chatted for a few more words, Lin Baicheng called Lin Shufang to the study to talk and asked about the situation of Bentley Motors.

Lin Shufang said: "I didn't stay in London for a long time. I only stayed for a few days after the company was acquired. I only have a superficial understanding of Bentley Motors. You have to ask Wei Li for more details."

"I know, sister, please tell me about it."

Lin Baicheng nodded to express his understanding. The reason why he asked Lin Shufang was to first understand Bentley and understand Bentley from different perspectives.

"I don't have much contact with the production of cars. I just went to the factory to have a look. There's nothing much to say."

Lin Shufang organized the following words: "I think employees' emotions should be paid attention to. Whether it is the management or the employees below, I found that they are somewhat dissatisfied with the company being acquired by Hutchison Whampoa, especially when they know that the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa is from Hong Kong. When the Chinese.”

"I think they look down on us Chinese, and feel that the company is being insulted by our acquisition. If we don't handle it well, once someone does something else, there may be a wave of resignations."

"Furthermore, I found that several senior executives are very close to the Bentley family. They are likely to move closer to the Bentley family. If not handled properly, the power of the company may be controlled by the Bentley family."

"I can't tell you more about it now. You need to understand it yourself."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nod after hearing this. What Lin Shufang said was within his expectation. Even if China develops in a few decades, Western countries will still discriminate against the Chinese, not to mention that the Chinese do not yet have a strong motherland. will be further discriminated against.

This kind of discrimination is unavoidable, and Lin Baicheng cannot change it alone. This is a general trend. What he has to do is to 'use foreigners to control foreigners', develop the company well, and prevent his own wealth from being lost.

Lin Baicheng said: "Sister, after this time, your work focus will shift to the investments I asked you to make. Your and Haruko's work is very important."

Lin Shufang nodded: "I know, don't worry."

Lin Baicheng said nothing more, and after talking about the matter, he and Lin Shufang left the study.

In the evening, Zhong Chuhong came. After Lin Baicheng chatted with her and Guan Zhilin for a while, he left the villa to pick up Abigail Johnson.

Lin Baicheng's family warmly entertained Abigail Johnson, and Abigail Johnson was also very enthusiastic. Lin Baicheng's strength was worthy of her taking the initiative to make friends.

Tonight, Lin Baicheng invited Abigail Johnson alone and did not invite other business partners. As a local snake, Lin Baicheng would definitely introduce some powerful businessmen in Hong Kong to Abigail Johnson, such as Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang, etc. Man, but the time is not today.

Lin Baicheng has already thought about it. When Hutchison Whampoa holds a banquet to celebrate the acquisition of Bentley Motors, he will definitely invite Huo Bao and others. He will also invite Abigail Johnson there, and it will not be too late to introduce them to them.

Tonight's reception went well, at least on the surface.

In the next two days, Lin Baicheng took time to accompany Abigail Johnson to visit Hong Kong. Later, because of her busy schedule, she asked Chen Huixiang to entertain Abigail Johnson on her behalf.

Lin Baicheng has a lot of things to deal with recently, but Abigail Johnson deserves two days of his time. The Johnson family behind him is the person he wants to make friends with. The business in the United States can be done better with the Johnson family as a partner. Smoother.

Of course, Lin Baicheng will not rely on the Johnson family, not even the Rockefeller family. He will only pay benefits to cooperate with these families to protect his interests in the United States.

Abigail Johnson came to Xiangjiang specifically to get closer to Lin Baicheng. What she wanted was not Lin Baicheng, but Lin Baicheng's businesses. She hoped to become Lin Baicheng's business partner and gain benefits.

The friendship between the two parties can be regarded as each getting what it needs, so they are on an equal footing for communication.
