Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

"Iwasaki-kun, I haven't talked with President Miki yet. Why did he come to Xiangjiang this time? I don't know the specific reason yet."

The relationship between Lin Baicheng and Iwasaki Mineryu is not bad, at least for now, so there are some things that can be said.

"So, Mr. Lin has already talked with Chairman Jin? And it's about business cooperation?"

Iwasaki Mineryu understood the meaning of Lin Baicheng's words.

"There is talk of cooperation, but it's not a good one, and I'm still hesitant about whether to cooperate."

Lin Baicheng didn't say anything too specific, and the specific cooperation methods were beyond the scope of what could be said.

Lin Baicheng is not worried about the cooperation between Iwasaki Mineryu and Kim Jaejoong. After all, his cooperation with Kim Jaejoong is still under negotiation. He does not think that Kim Jaejoong is only looking for him. The point is that this cooperation is not about making more money and entering South Korea. The market is not 100% guaranteed after cooperating with Kim Jaejoong.

"That's it."

Iwasaki Mineryu nodded and did not ask too detailed questions. He knew in his heart that since Lin Baicheng did not tell him some things, it would be annoying if he asked again.

"Lin Jun, if there are any good cooperation projects, please don't forget me."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not forget you, Iwasaki-kun, if we have a good cooperation project."

Lin Baicheng smiled when he heard this and said: "We can make big money by working together and joining forces."

When it comes to finding cooperation with Iwasaki Mineryu, that is where he will use Iwasaki Mineryu, otherwise he will definitely not let the benefits go to Iwasaki Mineryu in vain.

Let’s take the simplest example. In the future reform and opening up of China, if Lin Baicheng goes to invest in the mainland, he will definitely not seek cooperation with Iwasaki Mineryu, because Iwasaki Mineryu cannot be of much help. Cooperation with Iwasaki Mineryu is purely It was to give the benefits to Iwasaki Mineryu, he was stupid to do that.

However, if it were a project involving Japan or a certain technology owned by Japan, then Lin Baicheng would be beyond his reach and Iwasaki Mineryu could help, then he would seek cooperation with Iwasaki Mineryu for mutual benefit.

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Lin here first."

Iwasaki Mineryu couldn't help but smile.

Lin Baicheng returned home after sending Iwasaki Mineryu back because he was on his way.

Saturday's first final.

Lin Baicheng and others did not go to be judges. In addition to Huang Xizhao, today's judges include two senior executives of Asia Star Media Group. The remaining two places are given to senior executives of MBC TV station and TV Asahi who came with the group.

In the first finals, they select twenty beauties who can participate in the finals.

For Lin Baicheng, there was nothing wrong today. He wanted to play with Zhong Chuhong, but unfortunately something happened at the last minute.

Miki Yaota contacted Lin Baicheng and said that he wanted to meet him. Lin Baicheng could not refuse. He really wanted to know what the purpose of Miki Yaota's personal visit to Xiangjiang was.

After meeting, the two started chatting.

Lin Baicheng saw that Miki Yaota didn't talk about business, so he didn't push him. Anyway, it was Miki Yaota who took the initiative to contact him. He was not in a hurry, but he didn't believe that Miki Yaota could endure it all the time.

"well!"

Seeing that Lin Baicheng never took the initiative to ask, Miki Yaota couldn't help but sigh in her heart. At such a young age, he has built such a big career and is still so calm and collected. This makes old guys like them not sure whether looking for Lin Baicheng this time is the right choice.

"Lin Sang, I heard that you have been looking for someone to acquire shares of TV Asahi and want to increase your shareholding ratio. Is this the case?"

After all, he was the one who asked Lin Baicheng to meet, so Miki Yaota had no choice but to take the initiative to bring up the business.

"Indeed it is."

Lin Baicheng guessed what Miki Yota's purpose was in mentioning this matter. He kept a calm expression on his face and said with a smile: "I currently only have 6.2% of the TV station's shares, which is too little. I want to increase my holdings to 10% and become a Being a major shareholder of the TV station will increase your influence on the TV station."

With that said, Lin Baicheng took the initiative to explain: "President Miki, please don't think too much. I want to increase my influence on Asahi, mainly for the sake of my other comic company. I want to adapt the comic company's comics into cartoons to improve The influence of comics requires cooperation with TV stations, and having a TV station that I can influence is beneficial to my comic company."

These are all obvious. Even if Lin Baicheng doesn't tell, Miki Yota will know it if he does a little investigation.

"This is a good thing!"

Miki Yota seemed very happy: "Several of the comic companies under Lin Sang's name are very famous in the country. The adaptation of these comics into animations can increase the TV station's ratings. This kind of cooperation is a good thing for both of us. Lin Sangzeng I am very supportive of holding shares in the TV station and enhancing the cooperative relationship between the two parties."

Miki Yota knew all about the companies under Lin Baicheng's name, at least a lot, not to mention the Zhiyin Comics Company in Japan.

"I'm so happy to hear President Miki say this."

Lin Baicheng didn't care what Miki Yota's purpose was, and said directly: "Unfortunately, my acquisition of shares did not go smoothly. Currently, no shareholder has the idea of ​​​​transferring shares. I don't think it is possible to increase the shareholding. Now that President Miki supports it, if If President Miki can help, I believe I will be able to increase my shareholding to 10% soon."

Miki Yota looked embarrassed: "Lin Sang, although I support this matter, it is not an easy task to help you increase your shareholding."

It's not an easy task, but it's not impossible. Lin Baicheng couldn't tell the difference.

"President Miki, please give me a lot of help, I will be grateful."

Lin Baicheng immediately said that anyway, he had no intention of coveting TV Asahi. If he could increase his shareholding, coupled with Miki Yota's support, he would have a certain influence on Miki Yota and ensure that the comic adaptation of Zhiyin Comics could go smoothly. , that’s fine.

It would be great if we could go a step further and allow Asia Television's TV series to enter the Japanese market through TV Asahi.

Being able to do this and pay a certain price for it is acceptable to Lin Baicheng.

"Lin Sang, you're welcome. I'll do my best."

Miki Yota agreed with an embarrassed look on his face.

"If President Miki needs my help in the future, please just say it. You're welcome. Let's help each other."

Lin Baicheng knew that if Miki Yota helped him acquire the shares of TV Asahi, he would owe Miki Yota a favor. This favor must be returned, and as long as it is not too outrageous, he will help the other party do it.

It would be okay not to return the favor, but there is no airtight wall in the world. If word spreads, his colleagues will definitely think that Lin Baicheng is a villain who breaks his word. Although it will not make it difficult for him to move forward, it will definitely have a great impact on his business.

Therefore, the favor must be returned. Even if you can't do what the other person does, you still have to find ways to make up for it from other places and return the favor.

"It's good to help each other. I won't be polite if you need it."

Miki Yota smiled and said: "Let's not talk about anything else. I just hope that Lin Sang can support me as always on the TV station's board of directors in the future."

"President Miki, please rest assured. I am not the ungrateful person. As long as it is for the good of the TV station, I will definitely support President Miki."

Lin Baicheng immediately expressed his support, but he also left some leeway. It was for the good of the TV station. If the other party acted randomly, he would definitely not be able to accompany him.

"When I hear Lin Sang say that, I feel relieved."

Miki Yota heard the meaning of Lin Baicheng's words, but he pretended not to hear it. Anyway, he is the largest shareholder of TV Asahi, and he definitely hopes that TV Asahi will develop better and better.

Lin Baicheng originally thought that Miki Yaota had other things to discuss with him. After all, supporting Lin Baicheng to increase his stake in TV Asahi was beneficial to Lin Baicheng. It was Miki Yaota who was helping Lin Baicheng. Miki Yaota should have other things to say. It's even better to ask Lin Baicheng for help if there is anything.

But the fact is that until the end of the conversation, Miki Yota said nothing else, as if the purpose of meeting and talking today was to help Lin Baicheng.

One thing Lin Baicheng was sure of was that his relationship with Miki Yaota was just average, and it was impossible for the other party to take the initiative to help him for no reason. Either helping him is beneficial to Miyao Tai, or Miyao Miyao will talk to Lin Baicheng again later.

After each left.

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and felt that even if Miki Yaota would talk to him again later, he should give him a little reminder today. However, Miki Yaota did not do this, so he felt that Miki Yaota's help was in itself beneficial to Miki Yaota. , Miki Yota is actually helping himself.

If this is the case, people will find out if they inquire about it.

With the decision made, Lin Baicheng immediately contacted Chiba Nanako in Japan and asked the secretariat to investigate what happened to TV Asahi or the Miki family, mainly to investigate TV Asahi, and get back to him as soon as possible.

At eight o'clock that evening, Xiangjiang time, Chiba Nanako responded to Lin Baicheng.

"The results will be available so soon?"

Holding the microphone, Lin Baicheng was somewhat surprised. After all, he only contacted Chiba Nanako in the afternoon, and only a few hours had passed.

"Yes, Chairman."

Chiba Nanako replied.

"Tell me, what's going on? Why did President Miki take the initiative to help me increase my shareholding in TV Asahi? What's the benefit to him?"

"Back to the chairman, because the Murakami family is coveting the management control of Asahi TV, the Murakami family recently acquired the TV station shares from a small shareholder. Now, compared with the Miki family's shares, the difference is only about 8%."

"A difference of 8%? No, if that's the case, there is no reason for Chairman Miki to help me increase my shareholding in TV Asahi."

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng immediately noticed something was wrong.

Lin Baicheng currently holds 6.2% of the shares of TV Asahi. In other words, even if the Murakami family comes to him, whether it is to acquire his shares or let him support the Murakami family, the two parties will still not hold as many shares as the Miki family when they join forces. Still missing nearly 2% of the shares.

But if Miki Yota helps Lin Baicheng increase his shareholding in TV Asahi, regardless of whether the shareholding is increased to 10%, as long as it reaches 2%, then the Murakami family plus Lin Baicheng will hold more shares than the Miki family, and they will have the opportunity to rob the Miki family management control.

Although Lin Baicheng said he would side with the Miki family and had previously supported the Miki family on the board of directors, he did not give the voting rights to the Miki family. Everything was just a verbal agreement. He could change his support to the Murakami family at any time.

Miki Yota is an old-timer in the business. It is impossible not to know that support that is not included in the documents is full of uncertainty. He may actually be helping Lin Baicheng's enemies, causing the Miki family to lose control of TV Asahi.

Miki Yota must have known, but he did it anyway.

Therefore, there must be a problem here, or there is something that Lin Baicheng did not consider.

Chiba Nanako said: "Chairman, we still don't know what President Miki thinks."

After thinking about it, Lin Baicheng asked: "Is it obvious that the Murakami family wants to seize control of the Miki family? Is it a big deal?"

"not yet."

Chiba Nanako replied: "Everything is still calm now. The reason why we know about this is because we paid a high price to contact the small shareholder who sold the shares. This news was obtained from that shareholder. It is false news. The possibility is very low.”

"No wonder you didn't report this."

Although Lin Baicheng is only a small shareholder of TV Asahi, he doesn't care what happens at TV Asahi on weekdays, but if there is a major event such as a change in the company's controller, the secretariat in Japan must report to him, and there is no report. That would be a dereliction of duty.

"You should pay more attention to TV Asahi recently. If anything major happens, especially regarding changes in shares, you must report it to me in time."

"Yes, Chairman!"

Chiba Nanako responded.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Baicheng added: "You think of a way to reveal the whereabouts of President Miki to the Murakami family. Let the Murakami family know that I hold 6.2% of the shares of the TV station. Don't do anything more. Remember, Do this a little more secretly, don’t let anyone know that it was you who revealed it, do you understand?”

"Chairman, does this need to be done as soon as possible?"

"In terms of time, there is no need to be so urgent for the time being, but it may change at any time, so try to get it done as quickly as possible. But remember, the most important thing is to be concealed. Don't be exposed just to rush for time."

"Yes, Chairman, we will get this done as soon as possible. Just wait for our good news."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."

With that said, Lin Baicheng hung up the phone.

The reason why Lin Baicheng asked Chiba Nanako to find a way to reveal the news to the Murakami family was simple. He wanted to fish in troubled waters and see if he could get more benefits for himself.

Although Miki Yota said that he would help Lin Baicheng increase his stake in TV Asahi, Lin Baicheng was not sure whether Miki Yota said that to stabilize him. Even if Miki Yota really helped him to win his support, Having so many competitors like the Murakami family is also a good thing for Lin Baicheng.

Just like a product, only if there are more people competing can it have a higher price.

Lin Baicheng doesn't mind being such a commodity for once, allowing the Miki family to compete with the Murakami family so that he can gain more benefits.
