Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Hutchison Hotel.

Lin Baicheng found a chance to chat with Miki Yaota alone.

Lin Baicheng said: "President Miki, I thought about it and there is something that I feel it is necessary to tell you."

"Lin Sang, please speak."

Miki Yota guessed in his mind what Lin Baicheng wanted to tell him.

"As for me, I have some business in Tokyo, so I left a team there, and at noon, my people told me that Mr. Murakami wanted to talk to me."

While Lin Baicheng was talking, he observed Miki Yaota's expression, but he didn't know whether Miki Yaota was indifferent or an old fox. Anyway, his expression did not change at all.

"Mr. Murakami?"

Miki Yota asked: "Lin Sang, the Mr. Murakami you are talking about is Motoo Murakami of our TV station?"

"Yes, it's Mr. Murakami."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "My assistant told me that Mr. Murakami wants to acquire the shares of TV Asahi that I hold, and is willing to pay a 50% premium to my purchase price at that time."

"Lin Sang, what do you think?"

Miki Yota wondered in his mind what Lin Baicheng was thinking, whether he wanted to sell the shares so that he could raise the price, or whether he had other purposes.

"Of course I refused."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile: "President Miki, you know it. I want to increase my stake in TV Asahi and enhance my influence on the TV station, so as to facilitate the comic adaptation of my comic company. And President Miki, you promise to help me Buy more shares, I have already promised to support President Miki, so there is no reason to go back on it."

"Thank you Lin Sang for your support!"

Miki Yota raised his glass and said that no matter what, if Lin Baicheng really supported him, he should express his gratitude.

"President Miki, you're welcome."

Lin Baicheng raised his glasses and asked curiously: "President Miki, why does Mr. Murakami suddenly want to acquire my shares? But what are the big benefits of the TV station? Mr. Murakami wants to acquire the shares in advance to make a profit?"

"well!"

Miki Yota's thoughts were racing in his mind, and he sighed: "To be honest with Lin Sang, in fact, the reason why Murakami-san wanted to acquire Lin Sang's shares was because he wanted to compete with me for control of the TV station. In addition to Lin Sang, In addition, he has acquired a lot of shares from other small shareholders, and the difference between his shareholding ratio and mine is not too big."

"However, with Lin Sang's support, the shareholding ratio between Murakami-san and I will continue to increase. Murakami-san will never surpass me. The control of the TV station will not change, and Lin Sang's influence will also be gained. Assure."

"Then I'll thank President Miki here first."

Lin Baicheng knew that the old fox Miki Yaota must have a trump card, and the trump card was very big. Even if Lin Baicheng chose to support Murakami Motoo, he would probably not be able to defeat Miki Yaota, otherwise Miki Yaota would not be so calm and composed.

Lin Baicheng said that Miki Yaotai was calm and relaxed, not because of Miki Yaotai's current performance, but because Miki Yaotai stayed in Xiangjiang for several days.

Knowing that Murakami Motoo was acquiring shares in the TV station, Miki Yota did not find a way to stop Murakami Motoo in Tokyo, but came to Xiangjiang. This shows that he is confident and confident that he can defeat Murakami Motoo.

Of course, Lin Baicheng's support is certainly not useless, otherwise Miki Yaota would not have given Lin Baicheng some benefits. With Lin Baicheng's support, Miki Yaota would not have to pay a greater price.

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Baicheng called Gao Mujianshe over and praised Gaomujianshe's abilities.

Of course Miki Yota had seen Takagamasha, but he didn't have a deep impression. When he saw this, he didn't know that Takagamasha was Lin Baicheng's representative at TV Asahi. He immediately expressed his affirmation of Takagamasha's ability, implying that Takagamasha ability should bear a heavier burden.

Takagi Masa was not stupid, and suppressed his excitement to express his gratitude. He knew that the person he really wanted to thank was Lin Baicheng, who was his backer at TV Asahi, and the person he wanted to be loyal to was Lin Baicheng.

No matter what happens in the future, before he finds a better backer and before he rises to a higher position, Gao Mujianshe knows that he is Lin Baicheng's person, Lin Baicheng is his backer, and he is working for Lin Baicheng inside the TV station.

This is a matter of mutual benefit, and Gao Mujianshe does not reject it. Furthermore, he knows very well that he is not qualified to reject it now.

"What a shame."

After the chat ended and Miki Yaota and the others walked away, Lin Baicheng couldn't help but sigh with regret.

A company that he was optimistic about and needed had a fight for control of the company while he was still a minority shareholder. However, he was unable to participate in such a good thing. It was equivalent to having money but no way to make it. This made him regretful.

If this situation occurs not in Japan, but in Hong Kong, such as Wheelock, a company where Lin Baicheng is only a small shareholder, then Lin Baicheng will definitely get involved, and he will definitely buy it from the small shareholders first. Some shares, and then find a way to take all the shares from the second largest shareholder or the first largest shareholder to control the company.

Of course, this kind of acquisition will definitely not be easy, and it may even fail. After all, the first and second shareholders want control of the company, and it is not easy to sell the shares to them and give up control of the company in vain.

But it’s not easy to return, but at least there is hope.

Unlike this time, TV Asahi is a Japanese company. The TV station’s media propaganda attributes make it difficult for it to be controlled by foreign capital. Even if it is replaced by American capital, it is not easy, let alone Lin Baicheng, a Chinese capital. This kind of thing is not a good thing. Know it's impossible.

So there was no hope at all. Lin Baicheng didn't even try to fight for it, because he knew that doing so would only waste energy and might offend both the Miki family and the Murakami family.

No matter who controls TV Asahi, Lin Baicheng cannot offend the first and second shareholders at the same time, otherwise the shares he holds will be meaningless.

If you only offend one family, even if the other party is the largest shareholder and has the support of the second largest shareholder, Lin Baicheng will still have some influence by holding shares, but the influence will not be too great, but it is better than nothing. .

"Jun Lin, what were you talking about with President Miki? He looked very happy just now."

At this time, Iwasaki Mineryu came over.

"Iwasaki-kun."

Lin Baicheng raised his glass and touched it lightly with Iwasaki Mineryu who came over: "I just told President Miki that I will support him as before at TV Asahi."

"Why, what happened to TV Asahi?"

When Iwasaki Mineryu heard this, he immediately thought that TV Asahi had always been controlled by the Miki family, but now it wanted Lin Baicheng's support. What had obviously happened.

"The Murakami family, the second largest shareholder of the TV station, wants to compete for control of the TV station and has already acquired some shares. The Murakami family's shareholding ratio is not much different from the Miki family, only about 8%."

Lin Baicheng simply said that if he was not prepared to get involved in this kind of thing, there was nothing to hide.

"8%, a gap that can be said to be too much or too little."

After hearing this, Iwasaki Mineryu said: "But if you add the shares you hold, Mr. Lin, the difference will be much worse."

After a pause, Iwasaki Mineryu continued: "Similarly, if the Murakami family can get your support, Mr. Lin, and acquire some shares from other small shareholders, then it is really possible to gain control of TV Asahi."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "The Murakami family also contacted me and wanted to purchase my shares at a premium or get my support, but I rejected them."

"Lin Jun, you decided to support President Miki so quickly?"

Iwasaki Mineryu was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he reminded him: "Lin Jun, this is an opportunity for you. The two companies are competing for control of the TV station. The shares in your hand are very important. As long as you wait for the price, Gu, I believe Mr. Lin that you will be able to gain a lot of benefits."

"Iwasaki-kun, thank you for the reminder."

Lin Baicheng raised his glass and clinked it with him. After taking a sip of wine, he said: "I understand what you mean. If it weren't for me, a foreigner, who couldn't control TV Asahi, I would have taken advantage of the situation. However, as far as I can tell, Miki The president may have other trump cards. I am not very familiar with him. While the Murakami family is fighting for control, he has time to stay in Xiangjiang for so long. I don’t think he is putting all his hopes on me. On the body."

"Jun Lin, are you thinking too much?"

Iwasaki Mineryu thought for a while and said: "Could it be that President Miki has no other choice but to rely on you, Mr. Lin, so he puts all his hopes on you, Mr. Lin?"

"This possibility is certainly possible, but I personally think it is unlikely."

Lin Baicheng shook his head slightly: "Besides, I have no way to gain control, and Chairman Miki has promised to help me acquire more shares in the TV station. With such benefits, it is enough for me."

"Lin Jun, you don't want much, but you really don't need to do too much. Just support the largest shareholder directly."

Regarding Lin Baicheng's choice, Iwasaki Mineryu doesn't think it is wrong. However, if he is the one who holds the shares this time, even if he will not seek control of the TV station, he will definitely choose to play both sides to maximize his own interests. .

"But Mr. Lin, you have achieved your wish. After increasing your shareholding, you will probably become the third largest shareholder of TV Asahi, right?"

"I really don't know that."

Lin Baicheng said uncertainly: "I don't know how many shares President Miki will buy for me. I hope he won't break his promise this time, or just give me some shares to send me away."

"It shouldn't be the case. With the Murakami family coveting control, Chairman Miki will definitely need your support, Mr. Lin. Even if he has other trump cards, your support will definitely be more secure with Mr. Lin. On the contrary, if Mr. Lin is offended, he will be pushed to the Murakami On the family side, President Miki will definitely be in a lot of trouble."

Iwasaki Mineryu felt that senior shopping mall veterans like Miki Yota would not lose big because of small things.

"I hope so."

Lin Baicheng nodded and ended the topic.

After separating from Iwasaki Mineryu, Lin Baicheng walked around the banquet.

"Um?"

A lonely figure caught Lin Baicheng's attention, and he walked over immediately.

"Why are you alone and not talking to everyone?"

"Huh? Mr. Lin Lin!"

Lan Jieying looked at Lin Baicheng walking beside her in surprise, not expecting that he would come to talk to her.

"No need to call me Mr. Lin, just call me Lin Baicheng."

Lin Baicheng smiled. Lan Jieying looked very beautiful in her daytime match outfit.

"May I?"

Lan Jieying's eyes widened. She had not yet fully entered the society, so she was not like the people in society.

"Of course, names are meant to be called."

Lin Baicheng said and gestured around: "Why don't you go talk to other people and just stay alone?"

"I'm not familiar with them, and I don't know what to talk to them about."

Lan Jieying shook her head. In fact, there was one thing she didn't say, which was that her relationship with the other contestants was not good because they were in a competitive relationship, and some people's words during the contest were not pleasant to hear.

During the competition, Lan Jieying's performance has always been excellent. Coupled with her appearance, she was naturally regarded as a strong rival by other contestants.

In fact, Guan Zhilin is also regarded as a strong rival, even the biggest competitor. However, the people in charge of the TV station are very respectful to Guan Zhilin, but no one with eyes dares to say what Guan Zhilin is like.

In this way, if one of the two powerful enemies cannot be offended, the other will naturally suffer and become the target.

Fortunately, there were people from Asia Television, the organizer, watching, and Lan Jieying was not without someone to take photos, so the others could only say some slanderous words, and no one did anything too extreme.

And Lan Jieying is not stupid. She can see that other people have a bad attitude towards her. Of course, she will not try to please them, but will only treat them as strangers.

As for the other celebrities, she had only seen them on TV and in newspapers, and didn't recognize any of them. She was too embarrassed to take the initiative to say hello to them.

Lin Baicheng nodded and said: "After the competition, you will sign a contract with Asia Television and film and become stars in the future. How does it feel? Do you like it?"

"It's just like working part-time."

Lan Jieying thought for a moment and said that she was not envious of becoming a star, at least for now.

"You are in a good mood."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but smile. If it were him before his rebirth, he would be happy to death if he had the chance to become a star.

"We have become acquainted today. We will chat more slowly when we have time. Anyway, you will be filming for Asia Television in the future, so there will be many opportunities to meet."

After all, this was a celebration banquet. Guan Zhilin, Zhong Chuhong and the others were all here, so it was not easy for Lin Baicheng to talk to Lan Jieying.

"goodbye."

Lan Jieying waved her hand.

"Bye-Bye."

Lin Baicheng raised his glass and left.

With Lin Baicheng's current status, he is the protagonist wherever he goes. Therefore, many people noticed his exchange with Lan Jieying. After he left, some people walked over to Lan Jieying and wanted to get to know Lan Jieying. .

Although Lan Jieying doesn't take the initiative to chat with anyone, if someone asks her to chat, she will certainly not refuse at first, unless the conversation with this person is not unpleasant enough.

Before the celebration banquet was over, Lin Baicheng and Guan Zhilin left first. As for Zhong Chuhong, she knew that today was an important day for Guan Zhilin, and Guan Zhilin wanted Lin Baicheng to celebrate with her, so she wisely did not disturb it.

Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong have a tacit understanding. On each other's important days, they will take the initiative to leave Lin Baicheng to each other and not disturb them.
