Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

"Brother, Sister Jiahui, you are finally down."

At around eight o'clock in the morning, when Lin Baicheng and Guan Zhilin went downstairs, Lin Qin was watching TV.

"Chairman!"

Katherine Jackson, who was also watching TV, immediately stood up and said hello.

"Good morning, Catherine."

Lin Baicheng said hello, looked at his watch, and then looked at Lin Qin: "You haven't gone to class yet?"

It's early eight-thirty now, almost nine o'clock.

Lin Qin responded casually: "I have class at 9:30, so I can go out in time."

"It's quite late for class."

Lin Baicheng didn't know how the courses in the United States were arranged. Anyway, in terms of learning, he believed that Lin Qin had an idea.

"Xiaoqin, have you had breakfast?"

Guan Zhilin asked Lin Qin.

Lin Qin said: "I have eaten it a long time ago. Who knows when we will come down."

"Then let's go have breakfast ourselves."

Lin Baicheng said to Guan Zhilin, and the two of them walked towards the restaurant.

When Lin Baicheng and Guan Zhilin were eating breakfast, Catherine was waiting nearby. Lin Baicheng didn't ask her anything, so she didn't make a sound to disturb the two of them.

After eating breakfast, the three of them came to the living room.

Lin Baicheng said to Guan Zhilin, "Jiahui, I'm going to the company in a minute. Are you going to visit your mother and your brother, or do you have other arrangements?"

Guan Zhilin thought for a while and said, "Brother Cheng, you have to be busy, I'd better go visit my mother and brother."

"When Jiahui goes, remember to buy some more gifts and give them to me. Remember to say sorry to auntie and tell her that I have work to do and I will definitely visit her next time I have time."

Lin Baicheng warned that it would be okay if he couldn't go, but he had to give him a gift. After all, she was his future mother-in-law.

Guan Zhilin responded: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, I will tell my mother."

Lin Qin said to Guan Zhilin at this time: "Sister Jiahui, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is the weekend. Do you want my friends and I to take you to play? She is also from our place, but she is from Ao Island. Speaking of which, she is about the same age. Sister Jiahui is the same age as you, she was also born in 1962."

"Xiaoqin, are you talking about the gambling king's daughter, Miss He Chaoqiong?"

Guan Zhilin heard Lin Baicheng mention that Lin Qin had a friend who also studied abroad in the United States. She curiously asked who the other party was, and then learned from Lin Baicheng that the other party was the daughter of a gambling king.

"Yes, it's Sister Chao Qiong."

Lin Qin nodded. In a foreign country, she spent more time with He Chaoqiong. They met basically every week. The relationship between the two naturally became closer, and she and He Chaoqiong became good sisters. .

"Brother Cheng, do you have time on the weekend?"

Guan Zhilin did not answer immediately, but looked at Lin Baicheng. Obviously, if Lin Baicheng had time on the weekend, she would definitely choose to stay with Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng saw this and said, "Jiahui, you go play with Xiaoqin and the others. I'm very busy. I will probably go to New York tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Xiaoqin, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Hearing what Lin Baicheng said, Guan Zhilin had no choice but to give up.

"Sister Jiahui, why are you so polite to me?"

Lin Qin waved his hand and said, "It's getting late. I have to go to class. See you in the evening or tomorrow."

"Goodbye, Xiaoqin."

Guan Zhilin waved goodbye to Lin Qin.

"Jiahui, I'm going out too."

Lin Baicheng said to Guan Zhilin: "You bring your bodyguards, and let them carry the things you bought. If you have anything to do, ask them to contact Catherine or their leader, and I will know as soon as possible."

"Well, Brother Cheng, please walk slowly."

Guan Zhilin responded and escorted Lin Baicheng to the car when he was leaving.

The stretched Lincoln drove out of the villas of Beverly Hills and headed for New Age Software.

in the car.

Lin Baicheng said to Catherine: "Isabella and the others know that I'm going there, right?"

"Yes, Chairman."

Catherine nodded: "When you told me in advance, I contacted President Kent and informed you that you would go there this morning."

"good!"

Nodding, Lin Baicheng looked at her and said, "This time New Century Software Company is listed, you should have a subscription share, right?"

Lin Baicheng came to the United States this time just because New Century Software Company will be listed next week, and when the company first went public, of course he had to come here.

When New Century Software goes public, senior executives from the company to the president, vice president, and cleaning lady can all get options given by the company. Usually, they can buy options worth tens of thousands or dozens of dollars for just one dollar or something. Tens of thousands or even millions of dollars in stocks, depending on how many options each person can get.

In terms of bonus options, the higher the position, the greater the contribution to the company, and the more options to receive bonuses.

Because it is basically a free gift, when the company goes public and the stock is lifted, everyone can make a fortune regardless of whether the stock price rises sharply or not. The higher the stock price rises, the more money you will make from selling the stocks after the ban is lifted.

In addition to option awards, there are also subscription shares of original shares.

These original shares are different from options, and employees need to spend money to purchase them.

However, the purchase price is not the issuance price. The issuance price is the price recognized by various funds after the road show, which is the price at which securities companies buy it immediately. The price for purchasing the original shares is only half, which is half the issuance price.

In other words, if you buy the original shares, as long as the stock price does not directly cut in half after the company goes public, you will never lose money on the original shares you purchased.

Of course, there are also situations where the company's valuation is not low when it goes public, and its price-to-earnings ratio is very high. Employees are not sure whether the company's stock price will break through, and whether the company's development can get better. Due to this concern, Then even if it is the original stock, employees will not buy it.

Therefore, this situation often occurs in listed companies, that is, some people buy the original shares, some people do not, and some people even find people who don’t have enough to buy the original shares to buy them for themselves after buying their own shares.

As for whether you make a profit or lose by buying original stocks, it depends on the specific situation of each company, but the vast majority of people who buy original stocks will not lose money.

When New Century Software is listed, only employees of the company have options. But for the purchase of original shares, in addition to each employee of the company having a certain share, the secretariat here in the United States also has a certain share, and Catherine also has a share as a personal secretary. There is a certain share, and the bodyguards on the American side, as well as the butler Dorchi Hall and others, also have a certain share.

The shares of bodyguards, housekeepers and others are relatively small. Maybe they can only earn ten to twenty thousand US dollars if the company's stock price rises. But this is Lin Baicheng's reward for them. The business development of the company has nothing to do with them. Whether they buy it or not is also their own business. .

Lin Baicheng will definitely think of his own people, such as personal secretaries, when something good happens, such as the purchase of original shares. He must give them the opportunity, otherwise how can he ask them to do their best for him, and whether they buy it or not is their own business.

Catherine replied: "Chairman, I have 3,000 shares to subscribe for, and I subscribed for them all."

"3,000 shares, the issue price per share is US$6, and the original share price is half price, which is US$9,000."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly. The subscription of 3,000 shares was equivalent to giving Catherine US$9,000 for free, which was equivalent to three months of her salary. It was already very good.

Catherine's monthly salary is 3,000 US dollars. Don't think it's not much. In fact, it is already very high. After all, the current per capita monthly income in the United States is only a few hundred US dollars.

Catherine graduated from a prestigious school and worked as his personal secretary for Lin Baicheng. She had to sign a confidentiality agreement and helped Lin Baicheng handle many personal matters, so her monthly salary was higher than that of her peers. Otherwise, according to the normal market conditions, working as a secretary to the president of a large company would not be possible. There is no such high salary.

"I also want to thank the chairman for taking care of me, otherwise I wouldn't have such a high subscription share." Catherine thanked her.

Lin Baicheng just smiled when he heard this. Of course, he couldn't arrange clearly what the specific subscription share of each person was. This job was done by the US Secretariat. Lin Baicheng just looked at it and felt that there was no problem in approving it.

Specifically, Lin Baicheng only remembered the people who had more subscription shares, but he did not remember the ones with smaller subscription shares.

Extended Lincoln came to the office building of New Century Software Company.

After Lincoln arrived, Isabella and the two vice presidents immediately brought the senior executives down to greet him.

When Lin Baicheng walked into the office building, Isabella and others just came out of the elevator.

"Chairman!"

"Um!"

Lin Baicheng nodded to everyone and walked towards the elevator with Isabella and others who had just come out of the elevator.

Lin Baicheng, Isabella, Hank Randolph, Wayne Jim, Catherine and two bodyguards, a man and a woman, entered the elevator, while the others took the other two elevators or waited for the next one.

Everyone went to Lin Baicheng's chairman's office together.

"Everyone, take a seat."

Sitting on the office chair, Lin Baicheng gestured to Isabella and the others.

"Thank you, Chairman!"

Isabella and the three of them sat down.

Lin Baicheng looked at the three of them and said, "The company will go public next Wednesday. These days are very critical and there must not be any problems."

"Chairman, don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"

Isabella immediately said that the listing of the company is related to the interests of all employees of the company, no one will mess around, and everyone is united.

"It better be so."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly: "After the company is listed, you will be the president and vice president of the listed company. The company will reward you with options. After the ban is lifted, it will be enough for you to make a lot of money. However, I hope you will not slack off because of this and be as good as before. Just do your work seriously, otherwise don’t blame the board of directors for kicking you out of the company.”

Among Isabella, Hank Randolph, and Wayne Jim, only Isabella has grown with the company since its establishment. Hank Randolph and Wayne Jim are the only ones who have grown up with the company since its establishment. Those who joined the company only after the company raised funds last year can be regarded as becoming a monk halfway.

In this way, in terms of options, of course Isabella received the most. The bonus options received by Hank Randolph and Wayne Jim were not too many. At least they would not be able to sell them after the ban was lifted. Achieve financial freedom.

If they only join the company for one year, they will be able to achieve financial freedom after the company goes public, and the company's money will be too profitable.

"Chairman, don't worry, we will work seriously."

Hank Randolph responded immediately.

"Um."

Lin Baicheng: "On the day the company goes public, all senior executives, including you, will go to New York to ring the bell. How did you arrange the company during those days?"

Isabella said: "There will be a few senior executives who will stay, and the company will be on holiday on the day of listing. Anyway, all the employees in the company will not be interested in going to work that day."

"It's okay to take a day off."

Lin Baicheng didn't object when he heard this: "As long as you make arrangements for relevant matters, I just want results and no problems."

Isabella asked: "Chairman, will you ring the bell with us on the day of listing?"

"Forget ringing the bell, but I will be there, and I will also attend the celebration party."

Shaking his head, Lin Baicheng added: "I am a foreigner after all, so it is better to keep a low profile. After the company is listed, I will find an opportunity to resign as chairman and replace him with an American."

As he said that, Lin Baicheng glanced at Isabella. Currently, Isabella was his first candidate for chairman, but he was still considering whether to choose Isabella.

It's not that Lin Baicheng lost control of the company after resigning as chairman. That's not the case. As long as he still holds a large number of shares and has more voting rights than other shareholders, control of the company is still in his hands.

The reason why Lin Baicheng resigned as the chairman of New Century Software Company is because he is a foreigner. New Century Software Company is engaged in computer software. His presence as a foreign chairman is very likely to affect the company's performance. For long-term development, it is imperative to resign as chairman.

However, resigning as chairman does not mean that Lin Baicheng is giving up control of the company. He needs to find a spokesperson, and Isabella is more suitable at the moment.

Fortunately, this matter is not urgent yet. Lin Baicheng can still consider it slowly. He can slowly observe whether Isabella is suitable or see if he can find a more suitable candidate.

When I heard that Lin Baicheng was resigning as chairman, Isabella didn't think much about it. She knew that Lin Baicheng now held a large number of shares in the company. Even if he resigned as chairman, he would probably retain a large number of shares. Moreover, Lin Baicheng still had a lot of shares in his name. There are other companies with higher market value, and she is not ready to leave the big ship of Lin Baicheng.

Hank Randolph and Wayne Jim can't help but be a little careful. They are professional managers and will not be absolutely loyal to anyone. They will be loyal to whoever is the controlling shareholder of the company.

When they learned that Lin Baicheng was resigning as chairman, they couldn't help but speculate that Lin Baicheng would sell some company shares and might lose control of the company in the future. They had to be mentally prepared.

Of course, they now only have speculation that the company may change its boss in the future. Now that Lin Baicheng is still the chairman of the company, they will definitely follow Lin Baicheng's orders and arrangements.

If Lin Baicheng, the big boss, is dissatisfied and fires them directly, then the future of the company will have nothing to do with them.
