Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

A few days after Christmas, it will be 1981 in the new calendar.

Most companies are on holiday before New Year's Day, except for a few special industries.

It just so happened that there were no important matters for Lin Baicheng to deal with in the United States at this time, so Lin Baicheng simply returned to Xiangjiang temporarily and took Guan Zhilin back with him.

On the last day of 1980, Lin Baicheng, Guan Zhilin and others landed at the airport in Xiangjiang on a private plane.

Guan Zhilin wanted to go back to the villa in Repulse Bay with Lin Baicheng, saying that he wanted to say hello to Lin's father and Lin's mother. Naturally, Lin Baicheng would not object to her going, so he took her home with him.

Because she knew in advance that Lin Baicheng was coming back, Lin Shufang, who had already returned to Xiangjiang, came to Repulse Bay to wait for him.

After arriving at home, they greeted their family members, and then Lin Baicheng and Lin Shufang went to the study room upstairs.

"Sister, is everything going well for you this time?"

Although he hadn't heard Lin Shufang and Mao Li Qingzi say anything in previous contacts, Lin Baicheng wasn't sure whether they were reporting good news or not bad news, or whether there was something minor they didn't say.

"Well, everything went well."

Lin Shufang nodded slightly: "Baicheng, you have made arrangements in advance. No one knows that the person you arranged is operating so much money to do long crude oil futures. No one is keeping an eye on it, so naturally it will be fine."

"Baicheng, your courage is getting bigger and bigger now, and your skills are getting better and better. You actually made such a big bet, and you won the bet."

Lin Shufang was quite emotional. She was one of the few people who knew how much money Lin Baicheng had operated this time. This is a principal of two billion US dollars. It is unimaginable to lose all of it.

Similarly, this time Lin Baicheng made the right bet and made a huge profit, earning tens of billions of dollars. This was also an unimaginable amount of money. Lin Shufang was shocked and could not speak.

"Sister, this is not a bet, but an investment with greater certainty. The two have different meanings."

Lin Baicheng explained, and then said: "Sister, please remember to keep it secret about this investment. Not only your parents, but also your brother-in-law can't tell."

"Don't worry, how dare I tell others this kind of thing."

Lin Shufang nodded to express her understanding. She did not blame Lin Baicheng for not trusting her husband. She was not sure whether Cheng Yufeng would spread the news about such a major matter after Cheng Yufeng knew about it. Compared to her husband, she is definitely closer to Lin Baicheng, her biological brother.

"Baicheng, it's Maori Haruko, are you sure you can trust her?"

"Sister, Haruko can be trusted."

Lin Baicheng nodded, and then said helplessly: "And you know, in our family, except for you, no one else can help me in business. Compared with others, Qingzi is definitely more trustworthy. This kind of Big things cannot be accomplished by me alone, and I have no other choice but to believe in Haruko."

Operating so much money, some people must know about it. Unless Lin Baicheng doesn't make this money, there must be some capable subordinates who know the general situation.

In order to keep it secret and not make this big money, it is putting the cart before the horse. After all, if you don't make money, there will be no need to keep it secret. Only when you make a lot of money, you need to keep it secret.

Furthermore, compared to Haruko Maori, Lin Baicheng should be more worried about whether Yuan Tianfan, Vivien Kelly and others are trustworthy. Although they don't know that both sides are operating, they know that one side is already a lot. After all, it is five or six billion US dollars. Huge profits.

This time, the principal amount of operations in London and New York was the same, and the amount of financing was also the same. They both raised US$4 billion and operated US$5 billion.

Although the profit amount for the team operated by Yuan Tianfan in London was not as high as that in New York, the difference was only US$78 million, which was not too much and was within Lin Baicheng's acceptance range.

Lin Shufang heard this and said: "After Xiaoqin graduates, you can ask Xiaoqin to help you."

Lin Qin is Lin Baicheng's biological sister. No matter what, she is definitely more trustworthy than outsiders.

"Well, with Xiaoqin's help, I can really feel relieved."

Lin Baicheng also believed in Lin Qin. Although he was reborn decades later, he inherited everything from his predecessor and was not much different from his predecessor, at least for the Lin family.

Lin Qin, to Lin Baicheng, was his biological sister.

Lin Shufang asked aloud: "Baicheng, your profit this time exceeds 10 billion US dollars. How are you going to spend so much money?"

Lin Baicheng thought for a while and said: "The money will not be used for the time being. It will be used after half a year. It will probably be invested by then. It is impossible to just leave it in the bank without moving."

"You have invested billions of dollars before. If you invest tens of billions of dollars, how can there be so many places to invest?"

Lin Shufang couldn't help but shake her head: "Besides, it's too difficult to avoid attracting attention with such a large investment."

"Sister, what you are saying is that I also have such troubles."

Lin Baicheng sighed. Having too much money is also a worry. The currency depreciation is not as severe as it was a few decades ago. Some large companies have a market value of tens of trillions, and a large transaction is worth billions of dollars. Ten billion US dollars will still be a big number decades later, but it will definitely not have a sensational effect.

Now, if Lin Baicheng's tens of billions of dollars were exposed, it would definitely shock the world and arouse the covetousness of officials from various countries.

Yes, national forces will also covet this money. In this era, no country can ignore tens of billions of dollars.

Especially countries that are having a hard time now, and the British who colonized Hong Kong are one of them.

Lin Shufang said: "You should think carefully about how to use this money. I can't give you any advice."

"I know, sister."

Lin Baicheng actually had some general ideas in mind.

All the money will not be left in the bank, but will be invested in various industries. The semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries are the top priorities. If given the opportunity, Lin Baicheng would like to try to see if he can acquire aerospace technology or companies.

Lin Baicheng also has an aviation dream. Although he thinks it is unlikely, he also wants to give it a try. If he had invested heavily in aviation in the 1980s, would it be possible to land on Mars or colonize the moon a few decades later?

Landing on the moon is not difficult, but living on the moon for a long time will not be realized by any country for decades, and there is no guarantee when this technology will be realized.

As for landing on Mars, humans will not achieve it for decades.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng wanted to try to see if it could be realized. Even if it couldn't be achieved, the investment money would make some progress in technology, which would be something to be happy about.

As for the problem of losing money, that's not a problem. Sometimes it's acceptable to spend money to suffocate for a dream.

In addition, Lin Baicheng will also spend some money to buy gold.

The purchase of gold this time is not to speculate in gold futures, but to buy physical gold and store the gold in Galaxy Bank. This is not only an investment, but also a necessary gold reserve for banks. With a large amount of gold reserves, banks will not be prone to trouble.

Of course, buying gold does not mean buying it now. Although the current price of gold has dropped a lot, it is still not cheap. It will not be too late to start buying when the price of gold adjusts to around US$300 per ounce.

The second day after returning to Xiangjiang is the first day of 1981 in the New Calendar.

Lin Baicheng and Wang Yiping from Xinhua News Agency met at the Hutchison Hotel. Long before Lin Baicheng came back, Wang Yiping had contacted Lin Baicheng through his secretariat in Xiangjiang, saying that he could meet him when he returned to Xiangjiang.

"Mr. Lin, regarding the matter you mentioned last time, I reported it to the superiors, and the superiors also gave instructions."

After meeting, the two of them were polite for a while, and then Wang Yiping got straight to the point.

"Then I don't know what it means?"

Lin Baicheng looked questioning. He felt that the possibility of rejection by the higher-ups was unlikely, and even if they did, they would not reject them all.

Wang Yiping said: "Mr. Lin, you mentioned that I will give you a detailed list of export products. There is no problem with this. Even for some products that have not been exported, I can give you a list of Mr. Lin, as long as you like it." We can sell them to you. For those products that are not exported, Mr. Lin will not suffer in terms of price. You can let the specialized personnel discuss the details with you, Mr. Lin."

"I wonder if President Wang knows what products you have not mentioned for export?"

Lin Baicheng asked curiously.

Wang Yiping heard the words and said: "I only know a few things. Mr. Lin, don't you like drinking tea? There is a tribute Dahongpao in there. Although the amount is not much, it is also a little bit of the meaning above, which can be regarded as a thank you to Mr. Lin. In terms of price Don’t worry, Mr. Lin, it won’t be too high.”

"Dahongpao? That's really great. The price is not an issue!"

Lin Baicheng's eyes couldn't help but light up. From Dahongpao, he could tell that the other products were not bad either, so he would be able to choose carefully when the time came.

"As long as Mr. Lin likes it."

Wang Yiping said with a smile: "Some of those products are not suitable for export, and some cannot be sold to foreigners, but Mr. Lin, you are one of our own, so there is no problem in selling them to you." There are also some products that are specially sold to Lin Baicheng. Yes, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Thank you, President Wang, and please thank President Wang for me. I will always be a Chinese!"

Lin Baicheng looked solemn. Regardless of whether others needed him to express his stance or not, he himself would not mind expressing his stance more often if given the opportunity.

"We should be the ones thanking Mr. Lin."

Wang Yiping waved his hand and continued: "As for the purchase of antiques you proposed, Mr. Lin, after discussion, the superiors agreed in principle, but there are some conditions."

"President Wang, please speak."

Lin Baicheng said that as long as the superiors agree, there will be no loss in buying antiques now and huge profits in a few decades.

Wang Yiping said: "First of all, I want to sell you the antiques to Mr. Lin. Some antiques with national treasure level and high historical status cannot be sold to you, Mr. Lin. I hope you can understand, Mr. Lin."

"I understand that."

Lin Baicheng nodded, not disappointed at all.

Wang Yiping added: "Furthermore, if you sell your antiques to Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, even if you want to resell them later, you can't sell them to other countries, you can only sell them to your own people. I know this is a bit embarrassing, but I hope Mr. Lin understands that those antiques are the cultural and historical heritage of our country, and it would be a pity if they were resold to foreign countries."

"President Wang, please rest assured. I understand what you mean. As long as I am alive, all the antiques I buy will never be sold to foreigners. Even if they are sold, they will only be sold to locals. However, as long as I am not bankrupt, Basically, the antiques I buy will not be sold again.”

Lin Baicheng really never thought about selling the antiques he bought. Thirty-four years later, when the value of the antiques increased, he would be in his fifties or sixties. At that age, there is no shortage of money, and it is basically impossible to sell the antiques he has collected.

As for how the next generation will deal with it, there is no point in thinking so much now.

"It's good that Mr. Lin can accept this."

Hearing what Lin Baicheng said, Wang Yiping felt a little relieved. Now the country is very short of foreign exchange, so Lin Baicheng's way of exchanging U.S. dollars cannot be cut off. The country wants to help solve Lin Baicheng's difficulties, so it can only agree to sell antiques and let Lin Baicheng spend the RMB.

As for whether Lin Baicheng will regret what he promised now, we can only trust Lin Baicheng. If Lin Baicheng really regrets it in the future, there is no good way. After all, this kind of thing can only be verbally agreed and cannot be implemented into documents.

However, as far as Lin Baicheng's current position is concerned, the higher-ups still believe in Lin Baicheng and believe that Lin Baicheng will always recognize his identity as a Chinese.

Wang Yiping: "Mr. Lin, regarding the price of antiques, discuss the specific antiques in detail. After all, the price of each antique is different. If you can agree on the price, then the deal will be done. If you can't agree on the price, that's okay. Exchange Just other antiques, what do you think?"

"Okay, this is no problem."

Lin Baicheng naturally had no objection to this.

Wang Yiping said: "About these matters, someone will talk to you, Mr. Lin, and I will help introduce you. I will not get involved in the specifics."

"good."

Lin Baicheng nodded and then said: "President Wang, I may leave Xiangjiang for a trip to the United States in a few days, so if the time is not coincidental, you will have to wait until I come back to meet you again."

"It's okay, time is not a problem."

Wang Yiping waved his hand, it was just a delay. Anyway, these transactions were not urgent.

"Mr. Lin, it's about the dollar exchange. I hope you can help me a lot."

"President Wang, please rest assured that since I made my promise, I will not go back on it."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile: "Today happens to be 1981 in the New Calendar. This year I can exchange 500 million U.S. dollars. I hope that my small contribution can help the country develop and grow and catch up with Western countries as soon as possible."

"Mr. Lin, this is more than just a small effort. It has been a great help."

Wang Yiping was overjoyed when he heard this and shook hands with Lin Baicheng excitedly.

Upon seeing this, Lin Baicheng promised that when he returns from the United States next time, he will arrange for someone to start the dollar exchange.

After a long time, the two people who had a good conversation left the Hutchison Hotel and went back their separate ways.
