Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

The next morning.

A large number of media reported news about the Star \u0026 Cheng Charitable Foundation, and Reagan was mentioned most prominently. It seems that the Star \u0026 Cheng Charitable Fund came into existence because of Reagan, and Reagan was the real philanthropist.

Of course Lin Baicheng was also mentioned, but the number of media outlets and sections mentioned about him were not as many as Reagan's.

"Mr. Cheng, it's obvious that you are doing charity, but the media reports a lot about Mr. Reagan. This is too much."

In the Fifth Avenue Apartment, Maori Haruko complained for Lin Baicheng. In fact, she knew Lin Baicheng's plan. Lin Baicheng did not hide this from her. She said this mainly because she was worried that Lin Baicheng would be unhappy.

After all, it's one thing to guess in advance, but it's another thing to know the current situation.

"Didn't we already expect this?"

Lin Baicheng smiled. Of course he was not happy, but he was not unhappy either. He was very clear about the xenophobia in the United States.

Furthermore, Reagan's team greeted the media, but Lin Baicheng did not, so the media's reports must be biased towards Reagan, which is normal.

"I expected it, but I still get angry when I see them like this."

Seeing that Lin Baicheng was not angry, Maori Haruko felt relieved.

Lin Baicheng said with emotion: "I have spent so much money and sacrificed so much. I only hope that Reagan can succeed in the election this time."

"If he loses the election, our loss will be too great."

Maori Haruko couldn't help but nod. Although she didn't know the specific number of Lin Baicheng's support for Reagan, she also knew that it was not a small number. Otherwise, the Reagan team would not be so close to Lin Baicheng, a foreign businessman, and would not help introduce other important officials of the Elephant Party to him. I know Lin Baicheng.

"I'm quite optimistic about him."

Lin Baicheng said: "We have done what we should do, and it will be up to him later. After all, we are foreigners and there is a limit to what we can do."

"As long as he can succeed in the election, all the efforts now will be worth it." Maori Haruko said.

"That's exactly what it means."

Lin Baicheng took the newspaper to read, and soon saw a newspaper reporting on George W. Bush. Although it was not on the front page, the location was pretty good.

"Makoto-kun, when you met the Bushes, did you think that Bush Sr. had hope of making further progress?" Haruko Mouri was sitting next to him, so she also saw it.

"good!"

Lin Baicheng nodded: "If Reagan succeeds in the election this time, then Bush Sr. will become the vice president. If Reagan is re-elected four years later, then Bush Sr. will serve as vice president for eight years. Reagan will definitely support him after leaving office. Bush ran for president, then the possibility of Bush becoming president was not small.”

"So, it is critical whether Reagan can run for president this time."

Haruko Mouri knew that if Reagan could not be elected president, then Bush Sr. would naturally not be able to become vice president, and it would be hard to say what his future would be like.

"It's really critical."

Lin Baicheng is more aware of the importance. Once Reagan fails in the election, there will be huge changes in the future, at least in the United States.

The United States is now one of the two major powers in the world. After the United States has changed its president, it is hard to say what will happen in the next few terms. Then there is a question mark as to whether the United States can beat Hongsu in the competition with Hongsu.

And if Hongsu does not disintegrate, then whether Hua will be able to rise more than twenty years later is also full of unknowns.

These are chain reactions that affect the world structure.

If there are big changes in the future, Lin Baicheng really can't say whether he will make a mistake. Fortunately, he has now completed primitive accumulation and has no shortage of funds. As long as the World War III situation does not happen, he will always be a rich man. It is just a matter of how rich he is.

Besides, Lin Baicheng's real guarantee is not the money he has now, but his smart brain. Even if there are huge changes, as long as he is fine, he will have the confidence to rise again.

At around eleven o'clock, Lin Baicheng left together with Maori Haruko, who was carefully made up and dressed up.

Reagan invited Lin Baicheng to attend a barbecue party held at his home in New York at noon. Not many people were invited. They said they were all close friends. Lin Baicheng guessed that most of them were Reagan supporters.

Lin Baicheng knew very well that he was not very close to Reagan personally. The two were close only because Lin Baicheng was a major financial supporter of Reagan. There was no other reason.

Reagan's home in New York is in the suburbs. It is a single-family villa with only two floors and is not very big. The only advantage is that there are no other villas nearby. The nearest villa is a few hundred meters away, which is relatively quiet.

"Alan!"

When Lin Baicheng and Maori Haruko arrived, Reagan was chatting with other people in the yard, so he saw the two arriving at a glance.

"Mr. Reagan! Mrs. Nancy!"

While shaking hands with the Reagans, Lin Baicheng glanced at the man and woman who were brought over. He knew that the man and the woman were the children of Reagan and Nancy Reagan.

According to the information Lin Baicheng learned, Reagan's daughter was born in 1952 and is 28 years old this year, and his son was born in 1958 and is 22 years old this year.

Neither of Reagan's two children had much success. Just like their parents when they were young, they both entered the entertainment industry.

Among them, the daughter is an actress and model, but she is not very famous. However, once Reagan succeeds in running for president, as Reagan's daughter, she will definitely become famous.

Reagan's son is a dancer and is currently a regular member of a touring dance troupe.

The careers of his children are all related to the entertainment industry, but Reagan did not ask Lin Baicheng for help. Lin Baicheng speculated that either Reagan asked other Hollywood big shots for help, or that he had other plans for his children after he became president.

No matter how Reagan planned to arrange his children, Lin Baicheng knew one thing, that is, as a reborn person, he had no impression of Reagan's children.

In other words, Reagan's children will not achieve much in the future. They may become moderately wealthy, but such achievements will have no meaning to Lin Baicheng now.

Unlike George W. Bush, who must be friends with him in the future, there is no need to care about Reagan's children.

"Angela, did I remember correctly?"

Reagan said to Mouri Haruko, this was the second time the two met.

Maori Haruko smiled slightly: "Your memory is so good, Mr. Reagan!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Baicheng said: "Qingzi, let me introduce to you. This is Mrs. Nancy, the future First Lady."

"Hello Mrs. Nancy, I am Haruko Mouri, you can just call me Angela."

When Haruko Mouri shook hands with Nancy Reagan, she introduced herself.

Angela, this is the English name of Haruko Maori. She usually does not use this name when she is with Lin Baicheng, but she does use it when communicating with other white people.

"Hi, Miss Angela."

Nancy Reagan speculated in her mind about the relationship between Haruko Maori and Lin Baicheng. They seemed to be boyfriend and girlfriend. However, Lin Baicheng did not introduce Haruko Maori as his girlfriend, so she was a little unsure whether this was the case.

But one thing is certain, that is, the relationship between Lin Baicheng and Maori Haruko must be very close. Otherwise, Lin Baicheng would not bring a woman with whom he is not very close to a party like this.

Everyone walked towards the courtyard.

Lin Baicheng said hello to his acquaintances. He knew everyone. At least he had met them at the cocktail party yesterday. This was the second time they met.

Although Lin Baicheng and Mao Liqingzi were not the first to arrive, they were not the last to arrive either. After that, some people came one after another. Some come alone, some bring a female companion.

For the barbecue party, the ingredients were just shipped, the grills were set up by workers, and Lin Baicheng and others came to barbecue themselves.

If you leave everything to the workers, it will take away a lot of fun. This is a casual barbecue party after all, and it is more interesting to do it yourself during the barbecue stage.

Eating barbecue, drinking wine, and chatting.

Time passed slowly.

Everyone did not talk about the election campaign, nor did they talk about business cooperation, it was just small talk in the true sense.

At around three o'clock, Lin Baicheng and Maori Haruko said goodbye and left, getting into the extended Lincoln.

After the car drove away.

Maori Haruko said to Lin Baicheng: "Mr. Cheng, Mrs. Nancy said something before. Although she didn't say it clearly, I can tell that she should have said it to me."

"Oh? What did she say?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, slightly surprised.

"Mrs. Nancy mentioned the work of her daughter and her son, saying that children have inherited the artistic talents of their parents, especially the daughter, who is an actor like her. She also asked me what I thought and asked me whether her daughter could succeed in the future. To become famous, of course I replied that she could."

"Mrs. Nancy also said that although the two of them have talents, they have bad luck, so they are not popular yet and don't have much fame. She said that if someone takes care of them, they will definitely become famous, etc."

"Although there were other ladies nearby at the time, she looked at me from time to time while speaking and asked me what I thought. I didn't know what she was talking about."

"Cheng-kun, do you think so?"

Maori Haruko expressed her judgment. She felt that the possibility of her misunderstanding was relatively low.

"Haruko, you are right, she is indeed telling you."

Lin Baicheng nodded in agreement: "Actually, Reagan also asked me to take care of his and his ex-wife's daughter. I arranged for his daughter to join Morning Star Pictures. Now, his wife asked me to take care of their children, and the two couples thought of getting together. .”

Maori Haruko said: "Cheng-kun, what are you going to do this time? Morning Star Pictures must not be allowed in, right?"

"Leave this matter to the Secretariat and see what arrangement they think is more appropriate."

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said, Mrs. Nancy still has to give her face, and it is not a problem to take care of the Reagan children a little.

Furthermore, when Reagan succeeds in the election, it will be a question of whether Lin Baicheng will take care of him or not. With Reagan, Reagan's children will be able to live well.

"fair enough."

Mouri Haruko also thinks this is okay.

Lin Baicheng and Maori Haruko, who returned to the city, did not go back, but found a place to hang out, just for fun.

The next day was Sunday, and Carrie Fisher happened to come to New York and was free in the evening.

At Carrie Fisher's request, Lin Baicheng took her to see a musical. In the evening, he did not take Carrie Fisher to his apartment on Fifth Avenue, but took her to other villas in New York.

Here in New York, Lin Baicheng has several villas, and even more apartments.

These properties were all bought with Lin Baicheng's tax avoidance funds. As time goes by, Lin Baicheng's properties will only increase more and more every year.

Not only in the United States, but also in Japan, Hong Kong, England and other places. Wherever Lin Baicheng invests, he will have real estate, and more and more.

No matter which country he invests in, as long as he makes money, Lin Baicheng has to pay taxes and then consume through tax avoidance. Real estate is the top priority.

After the weekend.

Lin Baicheng did not leave New York immediately, but stayed in New York for another day and a half before heading to Silicon Valley.

Lin Baicheng also wanted to visit several companies in Silicon Valley, especially Galaxy Semiconductor, which was a very important company.

Galaxy Semiconductor has been recruiting people, not only for the company itself, but also for its parent company Galaxy Semiconductor.

It's just that Galaxy Semiconductor is located in Xiangjiang. For people here in the United States, it is a backward east. Not everyone is willing to work in Xiangjiang, especially those with families.

Therefore, most of the talents recruited by Galaxy Semiconductor stay in the company, and only a small number of people who are willing to go to Xiangjiang will be sent to Xiangjiang.

Of course, those talents who are willing to go to Xiangjiang will definitely receive better treatment. These are all agreed upon during recruitment, so talents of the same level working at Galaxy Semiconductor will not feel unfair.

If you want a higher income, it's easy, go work for Galaxy Semiconductor in Xiangjiang, otherwise don't feel it's unfair.

If possible, Lin Baicheng hopes that more talents will go to Galaxy Semiconductor. After all, in his mind, Xiangjiang is the core. The United States is currently not that restrictive in terms of technical talents, but it is difficult to say in the future. .

After visiting Galaxy Semiconductor, Lin Baicheng also did not forget to visit Sun Electronic Communications Company. The company is still under construction, that is, the core laboratory has been completed, and other office areas and other places have not yet been completed.

But it’s coming soon, construction here has been going on for more than half a year, and all the construction will be completed in a few months.

Lin Baicheng came here just to take a look and didn't stay long.

As for the technology patents acquired by the company from Bell Labs, the final negotiations have been completed and only the final handover is left.

As long as the delivery of the technology patent is completed, the laboratory can be put into operation first to conduct research and development on mobile phones, that is, mobile phones.

Lin Baicheng knew that Motorola was also developing mobile phones. The best thing would be for Motorola to develop mobile phones before Motorola did. However, if Motorola were to do it faster, Lin Baicheng would be able to accept it as long as the delay was not too long.

I dare not say anything else, but Lin Baicheng is certain that the smartphone era must belong to his mobile phone company. He is willing to invest money and knows the direction of research and development. If this still fails to produce a smartphone before other companies, then he should stop messing around.
