Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

The next day is Father's Day.

However, Hong Kong time is 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles, so the morning of the 15th in Los Angeles is already late morning and late the next day in Hong Kong.

Therefore, as early as last night, Lin Baicheng had already called Xiangjiang to say Happy Father's Day to his father, and his personal secretary Chen Huixiang had already prepared the gift.

Therefore, when Lin Shufang and Lin Qin from Xiangjiang celebrated Father Lin's Day, Lin Baicheng couldn't be there, but the friendship was there.

However, as long as the friendship is there, that's enough.

After all, before Lin Baicheng became rich, Father's Day existed every year. However, the Lin family did not specially celebrate Father Lin on Father's Day because the Lin family's family conditions were not very good and they had no intention of celebrating such a festival.

The same goes for Mother's Day, which is the same as Father's Day. The holiday has always been there, but the Lin family has never celebrated it before.

Even on the birthday of the Lin family, there was no special birthday party in the past. Instead, the family had a slightly better meal that day, and there was no cake.

That is to say, now that the Lin family is prosperous, let alone birthday parties, they also hold festivals such as Father's Day and Mother's Day, but they are not as big as birthday parties. But if compared with before, it was also a big deal.

"Haruko, if you have anything to do today, just go and do it yourself."

While eating breakfast, Lin Baicheng said something to Maori Haruko.

The reason why Lin Baicheng said this to Maori Haruko was because he knew that Maori Haruko's father was in the United States, and today was Father's Day.

Lin Baicheng didn't know what the relationship between Mao Li Haruko and her father was, but it probably wasn't bad. After all, if Mao Li Haruko could come to the United States to study, she must have had her father's support. Otherwise, her mother didn't even have a job, so how could she have the money? Come to the United States to attend college.

Therefore, on a day like Father's Day, Lin Baicheng must let Maori Haruko arrange it by herself.

"I'm fine."

Maori Haruko looked at him and said, "Cheng-kun, do you have time to accompany me today?"

"I do have time."

Lin Baicheng replied and reminded: "Qingzi, today is Father's Day."

"Yeah, I know."

Maori Haruko nodded, she smiled and said: "Cheng-kun, I know what you mean, but I don't have to celebrate Father's Day for my father today, so I'm not busy at all."

"Is that so? Then let's play together."

Lin Baicheng nodded and did not ask what the relationship between Maori Haruko and her father was, so as not to touch Maori Haruko's scars.

Lin Baicheng didn't ask, but Maori Haruko took the initiative and said: "Mr. Cheng, you know, my father was originally a mid-level officer in the US military stationed in Japan, and my mother was just my father's lover. My father has his own family in the United States. ."

"My father's family can be considered a military family, but the family is not very strong. It can only be said that it is okay. There have been generals in our ancestors."

"This kind of family naturally requires political marriage. My father's marriage partner is a woman from a political family, so legally I have no relationship with my father."

"In fact, it is common for US troops stationed in Japan to have relationships with local women, and some of them are even arranged by so-called politicians."

"Fortunately, my mother is not like this. She was attracted by my father. My father used to like her very much, and I was also taken seriously."

"My family is not short of money, and the educational resources are unmatched by ordinary people. I went to prestigious private schools."

"Later, my father left Japan and was transferred back to the United States. Although my mother was only thirty years old at that time, the best age for a woman, my father was unable to bring my mother here due to family ties. Come, just leave a lot of money to my mother."

"In the first few years, my mother and my father still had contact, but then the contact gradually became less and less until they almost stopped contacting each other. My mother and I knew that my father had put all his thoughts on his life in the United States. Family.”

"Actually, neither I nor my mother hate my father, because more American soldiers like my father left Japan directly without any nostalgia, let alone leaving so much money."

"Later, because my academic performance was very good, my mother contacted my father again and asked my father for help in order to give me a better education."

"Perhaps my father still misses my mother's past, or he still remembers me as a daughter. He helped send me to this prestigious private school where I graduated and paid for all the expenses during college."

"So, I am actually very grateful to my father. I met him a few times during college. There is actually a bit of father-daughter affection between us."

"It's just that my father now has a family that belongs to him. Without me in this family, it would be impossible for me to spend holidays like Father's Day and Christmas with him."

"If he has time, we will find time to have dinner together after the festival, so we can celebrate the festival together."

Maori Haruko talked a lot and kept talking. Lin Baicheng couldn't interrupt her and kept listening to her.

After she finished speaking, Lin Baicheng said: "Qingzi, actually you don't need to tell me so much. This is your private matter. Everyone has some privacy and secrets."

"Cheng-kun, of course there is a reason why I suddenly told you so much." Haruko Mouri said.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Lin Baicheng was confused after hearing this.

"You know, in the United States, nothing can be done without money. Capital is supreme here."

"Especially for the election of politicians, political donations are indispensable."

"As for the military, in addition to military merit and connections, financial support is also indispensable. Otherwise, you won't be able to move up to a certain position."

"My father's family has good connections, and my father also has some military exploits, but he just doesn't have a lot of funds, so my father has been thinking of ways over the years."

"Originally, these have nothing to do with me. After all, it was my father who funded me to go to college, and I can't help him. But I'm lucky enough to get to know you and work for you, Cheng-jun."

"Until last year, Chengjun, your career was getting bigger and bigger. I worked at the Golden Fleece Company and often visited Wall Street and high society. My father did some research after learning about it. He knew that I was working for big capitalists, so at the beginning of the year When he told me about his difficulties."

"He wants me to help bridge the gap and get your support, Mr. Cheng, or he wants me to help introduce other capital."

"After all, my father has helped me, and I also want to help him. But after all, I only work for you, Cheng-jun. There is no way I can help him find other capital. So after thinking about it for a few months, I decided to go with Cheng-jun. You confess this."

The reason why Maori Haruko said so much, and started with her relationship with her father, was to increase her hope of convincing Lin Baicheng, hoping that Lin Baicheng could support her for her sake.

She knew that with Lin Baicheng's strength, spending some money was nothing.

However, this is Lin Baicheng's money. Whether or not to pay this depends on Lin Baicheng's wishes. She can't have the slightest intention of forcing her, she can only plead, otherwise it will only hurt the relationship between the two of them, and it will not do her any good.

"Haruko, you said that your father has investigated me, so he already knows my specific situation?"

Lin Baicheng frowned slightly. No one would like his situation to be investigated clearly, let alone a foreigner like him.

"He just told me that he knew Chengjun that you are the richest Chinese man from Xiangjiang. As for how much he knew, I don't know. However, after all, he is a lieutenant colonel, a mid-level and senior officer, and he really wants to investigate Chengjun. Your situation can definitely be investigated clearly."

Haruko Mouri told the truth and revealed her guess at the same time.

"Forget it, there are many people who know about my situation anyway, and he is not the least of them."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand. Although he didn't want anyone to investigate him thoroughly, he actually knew very well that senior officials such as the Rockefeller family, the Johnson family and the Elephant Party must know everything about his situation.

What is not clear is just those offshore companies.

Whether it is the Rockefeller family, the Johnson family or the top leaders of the Elephant Party, they will definitely investigate him before cooperating with him. With their energy, it is not difficult to investigate his situation clearly. After all, Lin Baicheng’s rise was too short, and many There is no way to hide things.

Therefore, I don’t want to go back, but it’s just one more person who knows my situation.

"Haruko, what do you think about this?"

"Cheng-kun, from my personal standpoint, I definitely hope that you can support my father. If he can become a colonel or even a brigadier general or a higher military rank, that would also be good for me."

Maori Haruko paused as she spoke. Seeing Lin Baicheng motioning for her to continue, she continued: "As your subordinate, I would suggest that you investigate clearly and make a comprehensive consideration. To judge whether there are more benefits to be gained from support or support, It’s not cost-effective to say support.”

"If you are in between, you can also consider supporting it. After all, you are a lieutenant colonel in the navy. Although you only serve in the general fleet, if you can be promoted to a colonel or even a commodore, it will also expand your network of contacts, Cheng-kun." Maybe I’ll be able to use it one day.”

The military officer ranks in the United States are mainly divided into three levels: general, colonel, and lieutenant, with the colonel level right in the middle.

"I'll think about it carefully."

Lin Baicheng nodded, looked at her and said, "Qingzi, now I have a question to ask you. Does your father know about our relationship?"

"I didn't tell him about our relationship."

Mouri Haruko immediately shook her head, and then added: "Even if he finds out after investigation, it doesn't matter. He definitely doesn't think that I can have much influence on you, Cheng-kun, so even if he knows, he will pretend that he doesn't know anything."

"That's good."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nod after hearing this. Since the other party lacked the title of 'father-in-law', he could still consider supporting cooperation. Otherwise, he didn't need to consider it. He currently didn't want to have an elder among his collaborators, as that would make it difficult to deal with many things. .

"Haruko, you also know that I attach great importance to my relationship with Reagan and Bush, and I will support them, so you'd better ask your father if you are in a hostile camp with them. If the relationship with them cannot be eased, then I But I have to say sorry."

"I'll find time to talk to my father."

Maori Haruko responded, and then said: "But I believe they will not be hostile. After all, my father is just a lieutenant colonel, not a more senior general officer. He cannot participate in political games of that level. Get in."

"It better be this way."

Nodding, Lin Baicheng couldn't help but said: "I have always thought that the military is the most important. There will be a separate circle. Is it really useful to just support some funds? Even if the United States is a world of capital, it is related to the military and it is impossible to use it. Money can get through it, right?”

"Chengjun, capital cannot play a decisive role in military promotion, but it can serve as a boost, and it's still a big boost."

Maori Haruko explained: "My father's family has some connections, but the connections are not enough to upgrade my father's military rank by one level. In terms of military merit, it is not big, otherwise, if the military merit is high enough, you can also be directly upgraded."

"The relationship is not strong enough and the military merit is not high enough, so we need funds as a boost."

"My father told me this. I don't think he would lie to me in this regard."

"So that's it."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nod after hearing this, feeling that this was normal and reasonable.

After all, the military is the fundamental means for a country to protect its sovereignty. If it can be penetrated by capital at will, then the country's sovereignty will be very dangerous. No one can guarantee that it will suddenly split one day.

Once the army splits into several forces, the outbreak of civil war will not be far away.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get ready and then go out to play."

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Baicheng ended the conversation and decided to take Maori Haruko out to play.

Lin Baicheng and Mao Li Haruko went upstairs to change their clothes. After a while, Lin Baicheng went downstairs alone.

As for Haruko Mouri, she was still dressing up. Women spend a lot of time dressing up.

Lin Baicheng waited for a long time before Maori Haruko came downstairs, and he was used to this. No matter which woman you are, you should dress up and look beautiful before going out.

Today is Father's Day, and the two of them can see things related to Father's Day themes in many places outside. Apparently merchants regard this day as a promotion day.

For merchants, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Teacher's Day, etc. are all good days for promotions and discounts. The turnover of the festival can at least equal the turnover of several days in the past.

Lin Baicheng and Maori Haruko didn't have a specific destination. They looked here and there. They didn't stay in the car all the time. When they got to a place, they would get off the car and go shopping.

Today is not only Father's Day, but also Sunday. It is not working time and no one has to go to work, so there are many people and it is very lively.

Throughout the day, Lin Baicheng and Maori Haruko were playing outside. It was rare to have leisure time, and even lunch was eaten outside.
