Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

On Christmas Day, Lin Baicheng returned to Los Angeles from New York.

Lin Baicheng spent this Christmas with Lin Qin, Guan Zhilin and He Chaoqiong. During the Christmas holiday, He Chaoqiong, who was at school, was called over by Lin Qin to celebrate the holiday with him.

He Chaoqiong is alone in the United States. Of course she would be happy to have friends spend the holidays with her.

As for Isabella and other girls, they have their own families, and Christmas is a very important holiday for them. On this day, they will go back to celebrate the holiday with their families.

The United States is a foreign land for Lin Baicheng and others, so they spend Christmas behind closed doors.

"Brother, after dinner, let's go watch a movie together and contribute to the box office of your movie."

Lin Qin made a suggestion and said enthusiastically: "'Home Alone' is really beautiful and interesting. It makes people want to watch it again."

"Xiaoqin, what do you mean by your words? Have you already watched this movie?"

Lin Baicheng glanced at her. The second part of "Home Alone" had been released a week ago, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it at that time, and all his energy was focused on crude oil futures.

"Yeah, sister Jiahui and I went to see it together."

Lin Qin nodded, looked at He Chaoqiong and said, "Sister Chaoqiong, have you seen this movie?"

"I went to see it on the day it was released. I will definitely support the movie produced by Brother Lin's company as soon as possible."

He Chaoqiong nodded. "Home Alone" is a popular movie, and she might watch it. What's more, it is a movie produced by Lin Baicheng's company, so she has no reason not to support it.

Lin Baicheng asked aloud: "How is the box office of this movie?"

Lin Qin looked at him in surprise: "Brother, this is a movie shot by your company. How come you don't know the box office number?"

"Didn't I go to New York recently? I have something to deal with there, so I don't have time to pay attention to this." Lin Baicheng explained a little, but there was no need to let them know what he was going to do. There was no need to explain it so clearly.

"Brother Cheng, it's a box office hit."

Seeing Lin Baicheng want to know, Guan Zhilin immediately said: "The box office in the first weekend exceeded 70 million US dollars, and the box office has exceeded 100 million US dollars in six days of release. Today is Christmas, and the box office will definitely be higher."

Lin Qin also said: "I read in the newspaper that the North American box office of this movie is expected to exceed 300 million US dollars, and the global box office is expected to exceed 700 million US dollars. Brother, you are going to make a fortune this time."

"Let's not talk about whether the box office can be that high. Even if it is, it will only earn about 300 million U.S. dollars, not to mention making a big profit."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand casually. Compared with the tens of billions of dollars that can be made from crude oil futures, the few hundred million dollars here are nothing at all.

However, the opportunity to make big profits in crude oil futures only comes once every few years. If you want to make big profits next time, you have to wait until the Plaza Accord in 1985. At that time, the yen appreciated sharply, and Lin Baicheng would definitely ambush in advance.

"Brother, this is 300 million U.S. dollars, isn't it a huge profit?"

Lin Qin exclaimed, although she knew that her brother was worth tens of billions of dollars, but his profit of 300 million U.S. dollars was a lot, so why did she feel like she was not looking down upon him. You know, this is 300 million U.S. dollars. Several of her friends in school may not have as much wealth as 300 million U.S. dollars in their families.

"Brother Cheng is the most powerful!"

Guan Zhilin looked at Lin Baicheng with admiration.

"Brother Lin is so awesome!"

He Chaoqiong sighed in his heart and looked at Lin Baicheng with some admiration. Her family is considered rich and ranks among the top Chinese families in the Xiangjiang area of ​​Australia Island, but US$300 million is definitely not a small sum for her family.

One thing He Chaoqiong is sure of is that her family will never make as much as 300 million US dollars a year. After all, not all casinos belong to her family, there are other shareholders.

"Whether it's a big profit or not, you'll know later."

Lin Baicheng smiled and did not explain. Lin Qin studied economics and business management. She would definitely help him manage his career in the future. Slowly and naturally, she would know the scale of Lin Baicheng's career. By then, she would know that three hundred million US dollars was a huge amount for Lin Baicheng. Not a big profit.

"All right."

Lin Qin did not go into details, but said: "Sister Chao Qiong has also watched the movie, so are we still going?"

"If you want to watch a movie, I'll forget it. Today is Christmas and it must be very lively outside. Let's go shopping outside."

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said, of course, he would never take them to some black areas and other places where security is not good, even if they have bodyguards with him, no one can guarantee whether something will happen.

After all, in a free America, guns are fought every day.

Bullets don't have eyes.

"Yeah, yeah!"

Guan Zhilin immediately cheered and agreed.

"Let's just go shopping." He Chaoqiong had no objection.

Lin Qin is not opposed to going shopping, not to mention that the two little sisters have already agreed.

…

The day after Christmas, Isabella left her hometown, but she did not return to Los Angeles immediately, but went to New York first.

Isabella had already contacted Vivien Kelly in advance, and Vivien Kelly also returned to New York that day. The two made an appointment to meet at Vivien Kelly's villa.

"Vivien, what have you been doing during this time?"

After meeting, Isabella asked immediately. She only knew that Vivien Kelly could not contact the outside world due to work needs. She did not know what exactly Vivien Kelly was going to do and where she was staying. Vivien Kelly did not tell her.

"Bella, I signed a confidentiality agreement, so I can't tell you anything."

Vivien Kelly shook her head. Even if the two were good friends and sisters, she could not violate the agreement. Otherwise, once the big boss knew about it, she would not only face huge compensation, but also lose her current job.

"Since we signed the confidentiality agreement, forget it."

Isabella didn't force herself when she heard this. She knew that there were some things that even family members couldn't say, let alone good best friends.

"Vivien, you know? Alan and I are together."

"Chairman?"

Vivien Kelly's eyes widened when she heard this, and she looked at Isabella in surprise.

"right."

Isabella nodded. The reason why she told Vivien Kelly about this was because the two were good friends. At the same time, Vivien Kelly was her helper in her career. She needed Vivien Kelly's help. support.

"Great! This is really good news!"

Vivien Kelly was overjoyed, and then she lightly touched Isabella with her shoulder and winked: "I'm secretly asking you, how is the chairman's skills in this area? Will it last?"

"What did you say?"

Isabella slapped Vivien Kelly angrily. She would definitely not tell such private things, even if she was a good best friend.

"I'm just curious. I want to see if a man as powerful as the chairman is different from other men in that respect."

Vivien Kelly smiled, but when Isabella didn't answer, she didn't ask further questions. She was just a little curious, not necessarily knowing the answer.

"If you want to know, just ask him yourself."

After saying that, Isabella said with a smile: "Or, how about I ask for you and just tell Vivian that you are very curious?"

"Don't hurt me."

How dare Vivien Kelly ask Isabella to ask this? Isn't that just asking for death?

"It's okay to be afraid."

Isabella was just joking. She changed the subject and said, "Vivien, I heard you said you are on a long vacation this time. When will you start working?"

"I can take half a month off this time." Vivien Kelly replied.

"Is it so long?"

Isabella was a little surprised. She guessed that it might be related to what Vivien Kelly was doing before. However, she couldn't ask more questions because of the confidentiality agreement. If she wanted to know, she would have to ask Lin Baicheng, but she was not prepared to ask. Some Since Lin Baicheng wouldn't tell her, it would be better for her not to ask any more questions.

"You don't know how hard we worked some time ago."

Although Vivien Kelly and the others were not very busy and did not have to do strenuous work, they were unable to leave Base 3 and were very mentally exhausted.

Nodding, Isabella said: "Vivien, Allen told me to let me continue to work hard, and he will slowly let me manage more businesses in the future. You must help me in the future."

"I will definitely help you."

Vivien Kelly heard this and immediately said: "In addition to me, there is Ms. Lansing. Others can also slowly win over."

"We have to control the situation carefully and not win over everyone."

Isabella reminded that Vivien Kelly's help is needed to win over people, or even mainly Vivien Kelly. When her identity is completed, sometimes it is inconvenient for her to come forward directly.

"I understand what you mean, don't worry."

Vivien Kelly nodded and followed: "Besides, that woman Mouri Haruko is not a good person. Even if we want to win over everyone, we can't."

"you're right."

Isabella nodded slightly, thinking about Maori Haruko who had stopped her before, feeling unhappy in her heart. If she was still Lin Baicheng's assistant, she still had some friendship with Mao Li Haruko. After Mao Li Haruko succeeded in taking up the position and worked in the Golden Fleece Company, the friendship between the two had long since disappeared and turned into competition relationship.

Now that both of them are Lin Baicheng's women, the competitive relationship has become even more obvious, and there is basically no possibility of compromise.

Vivien Kelly suddenly said to Isabella solemnly: "Bella, there is something I want to remind you."

"What's going on?"

Isabella looked confused.

Vivien Kelly solemnly said: "Isn't the chairman's sister, Miss Lin Qin, studying in college in Los Angeles now? Forget it before, now that you have established a relationship with the chairman, you should walk around more with Miss Lin Qin. , it will definitely not hurt you to have a good relationship with Miss Lin Qin."

"I understand what you mean. I also want to have more contact with Allen's family, but they are all over there in Xiangjiang. Although Lin Qin is here in Los Angeles, although I have met her before, I haven't had a few conversations with her. Not familiar."

Isabella is not stupid, of course she knows that it is very important to have a good relationship with Lin Baicheng's family. The point is that the two parties are not in the same place, have different races and skin colors, and speak different words. It is not easy to communicate, let alone build a good relationship.

"I think I need to learn Cantonese more proficiently, not only to speak but also to write."

"If possible, it's best to learn some of the history and culture of Xiangjiang, etc."

Vivien Kelly reminded her that only by knowing something about Xiangjiang can she have a basis for communication with Lin Baicheng’s family.

"I can only learn slowly."

Isabella smiled bitterly. She was already very busy at work, and now she had to learn another language and culture. This was not an easy task.

Vivien Kelly gave Isabella a comforting pat on the shoulder.

In fact, some of the executives, including Vivien Kelly, are secretly learning Cantonese. They only need to learn Cantonese to the point where they can speak it, in order to facilitate communication with colleagues and big bosses in Hong Kong, so that the big bosses can Take a high look.

If they want to go further in Lin Baicheng's interest group, the executives will naturally want to do what Lin Baicheng does.

Vivien Kelly suddenly asked: "By the way, Bella, do many people know about the matter between you and the chairman? Does the chairman have any thoughts on making it public?" If Lin Baicheng doesn't want to make it public, that's not a good thing. .

"As long as anyone is serious, I think everyone should know."

Isabella heard this and said: "Alan did not hide his relationship with me. Catherine and the bodyguards were the first to know. After that, the secretariat only needed to inquire a little bit to find out about us. As for the executives of other companies , as long as they have a heart, they can know this."

The senior executives, including Isabella, are all in contact with the Secretariat. The assistants at the Secretariat will not tell them everything about the big boss, but they will still tell them some unimportant things. Theirs, and they will also cooperate with the work of the Secretariat, so that everyone can share what they have and get what they need.

"Then they should all know."

Vivien Kelly nodded. All the company executives they cared about were all smart people, and there were no fools. So all the smart people must know about this.

"It will be easier if they know. If the chairman doesn't want to disclose your affairs, it will be really troublesome."

"Alan is not that kind of person."

Although the time they spent intimately together was still short, Isabella could feel that although Lin Baicheng was not the kind of extremely good man, he was not bad at all. At least he was very kind to her, and she was quite satisfied.

Vivien Kelly smiled and joked: "Speak good words for the chairman now."

"Nothing."

"Bella, I almost forgot to ask, how did you do this?"

"I won't tell you, just guess it yourself."

Although they are good best friends, Isabella is not willing to tell the story of how she actively seduced Lin Baicheng. Although she knew that her best friend would definitely guess something, guessing was just guessing, and it was fine as long as she didn't know the specific process.

Vivien Kelly smiled and asked jokingly, but Isabella didn't say anything, and she didn't force her. It was just a small joke, but chasing her would be too much.
