Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Galaxy Financial Building.

Galaxy Bank.

In the chairman's office.

Lin Baicheng was making tea, and Xiang Ping and Yuan Tianfan were sitting opposite him.

"Compared to British black tea, our ancestral green tea is better, more flavorful, and more beneficial to the body, don't you think?"

"What Mr. Lin said is that the history of our green tea is simply not comparable to that of British black tea."

Xiang Ping nodded in agreement. The boss likes to drink green tea, so there is no need to say more about his attitude.

Yuan Tianfan followed: "The black tea is too sweet, I can't drink it at all."

"As long as you like green tea."

Lin Baicheng looked at the two of them and nodded. After making the tea, he handed the poured tea to the two of them. Regardless of whether the two people meant what they said, he was still satisfied with the attitude they showed.

Many times, attitude is key.

Apart from anything else, if Xiang Ping and Yuan Tianfan openly opposed him, although Lin Baicheng would affirm their self-esteem in his heart, he would also wonder if they did not take him seriously.

Facing the tea that was handed to them, Xiang Ping and Yuan Tianfan quickly stood up and took it. They didn't dare to sit carelessly and let the big boss hand them tea.

"Good tea!" "Mr. Lin brews something different!"

After drinking tea, the two praised him repeatedly.

"If you like it, you can take some back later."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin." "Mr. Lin, you're welcome."

"Why are you being polite to me?"

Waving his hand, Lin Baicheng said: "Let's get down to business. The team led by Manager Yuan did a good job this time. There were no problems in the process. The long orders were bought and sold as planned. They have made great achievements."

Apart from Yuan Tianfan, the direct person in charge of the team, Xiang Ping also knows that there are multiple crude oil futures orders in London for operations in Xiangjiang. No one else knows all the details except them.

Xiang Ping is both the vice president of Galaxy Financial Group and the chief executive of Galaxy Bank. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from him.

"I did everything according to Mr. Lin's instructions. It's not a great achievement. It's Mr. Lin who has the foresight to see that the price of crude oil will rise sharply."

When Yuan Tianfan heard this, he said modestly that he still knew what was going on. He knew that the biggest contributor to the big profit from going long on crude oil futures this time was the big boss, not himself.

Yuan Tianfan did not pay attention to the fluctuations in crude oil prices. It was not him who suggested going long, and he was operating such a large amount of funds. If it were not for the strict orders of the big boss, he would have already started to close his long orders when the crude oil price was close to 20 US dollars per barrel.

Don't look at the fact that US$20 has only increased by one-third compared to US$15. If the operable funds reach US$5 billion, the one-third increase will be US$1.5 billion, an astronomical figure.

Yuan Tianfan can guarantee that if he had his own funds or a team he had built, he would never have waited until above $30 before selling. The main reason was that his mentality was not that good and he could not remain calm in the face of huge fluctuations.

"Mr. Lin, you are really amazing. You have great vision and you dare to make big bets. Not everyone can do this, but I can't do it anyway."

Xiang Ping echoed, he was not completely flattering, it was his true emotion.

"You guys should stop putting your hat on me."

Lin Baicheng chuckled and said to the two of them: "You all have contributed. I will use some of this profit as bonuses for you and the entire operation team. These are not only bonuses for you, but also the confidentiality you signed. The hush money of the agreement.”

"Thank you Mr. Lin!"

Xiang Ping and Yuan Tianfan thanked each other in unison, but they did not refuse the bonus. After all, no one would dislike the money.

Moreover, Lin Baicheng, the big boss, also said that it was both a bonus and hush money. If he refused, he would be making himself uncomfortable. Anyone would doubt whether he wanted to spread this matter, otherwise why not accept the money.

That's really a penalty for not eating the toast.

Lin Baicheng looked at the two of them: "I'm still relieved about you, but you should keep an eye on those people below, let them know the consequences of violating the confidentiality agreement, and tell them not to drink horse urine and drink everything outside." Unfortunately, the consequences are not something they can bear."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will warn them and keep an eye on them."

Yuan Tianfan immediately assured him that he knew very well that if anything happened to his subordinates, he would definitely be jointly and severally responsible. At the same time, these words are not a warning to them.

"Mr. Lin, I will also help watch."

Xiang Ping also said aloud, he knew that if something happened, he wouldn't be able to tell.

"I believe you, I'll leave this matter to you."

Lin Baicheng didn't completely believe them. In the short term, they arranged for someone else to watch every move of the operation team, and it was the same on both sides. In this way, if you find something is wrong, you can stop it as soon as possible.

Staring for a long time is impractical, but if it is exposed in the future, there is nothing you can do about it, but the longer the better, the lower the impact will be.

"Tell me something else."

Lin Baicheng changed the subject and said: "I will inject part of the profit from this time into the bank. The bank's overseas expansion work will continue to advance. I hope that in a few years Galaxy Bank will become a multinational bank in major cities around the world." bank."

"Mr. Lin, it's not that easy to recruit bank talents, and we can't poach them all from various banks, so it takes time for banks to expand overseas. This is not something that can be done with money."

Xiang Ping explained the difficulties and agreed without opening his mouth. It's easy to agree, just open your mouth, but if you can't do it, he will be the unlucky one in a few years.

"I understand your difficulties, but I still hope to see results as soon as possible."

Lin Baicheng did not force the order, and he also knew the difficulties involved. However, with his global industrial layout, he increasingly needed the cooperation of a multinational bank of his own. Only in this way could he ensure the inflow and outflow of his funds more covertly.

Through other people's banks, the confidentiality is a little worse. Sometimes it may have no impact, and other times it may have a huge impact.

For example, in 1985, because of the Plaza Accord, Lin Baicheng wanted to go long on yen. At that time, he had a bank of his own to cooperate, and confidentiality was greatly improved.

Otherwise, even if it is through Bank of Mitsubishi's channels, even if only a part of the funds pass through Bank of Mitsubishi, when the profits are huge, the senior management of the Mitsubishi Consortium will definitely know about it, and it will be easy to spread the word about something bad.

"Mr. Lin, we will try our best!"

Xiang Ping responded, and Lin Baicheng pressed the task on him. He could only press down and put the heavy burden on Huo Yaohua, the specific person in charge of the bank's overseas expansion.

"Um."

Nodding, Lin Baicheng said to Yuan Tianfan: "You work hard. In a few years, you, the manager, will definitely be promoted."

"Thank you Mr. Lin, I will definitely perform well."

Everyone wants a promotion and a salary increase. Yuan Tianfan is not a saint, so he was naturally very happy when he heard this.

Lin Baicheng said to the two of them: "Although I will not give up the shares of Galaxy Bank, there will still be dividends corresponding to the equity, and there are other companies under my name. As long as you work hard and develop Galaxy Financial Group, I will I will definitely not be stingy, and it is not impossible for you to become a billionaire."

"We will definitely develop the group!"

Although they knew that the boss was trying to make a pie, Xiang Ping and Yuan Tianfan ate the pie because they knew that Lin Baicheng, the big boss, would not make a pie in vain and would honor it. The latter was very important.

"I look forward to your performance."

All that needed to be said had been said, and Lin Baicheng said no more.

…

Lin Baicheng didn't plan to stay long when he returned to Xiangjiang this time. If there were no major matters to deal with, he planned to stay for two or three days before going to the United States again.

The night before Lin Baicheng was going to the United States, Mineryu Iwasaki came over from Japan and met with him.

The place where the two met was at Iwasaki Mineryu's house, a villa not far from Lin Baicheng's house.

"Lin Jun, you said you wanted to short crude oil futures. What are your specific plans?"

Iwasaki Mineryu already knew that Lin Baicheng wanted to short crude oil futures. In the previous phone call, the two of them talked about the details after meeting.

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng told Iwasaki Mineryu what he had told Huo Yingdong and others.

“Isn’t the price of crude oil exceeding US$40/barrel?”

After hearing this, Iwasaki Mineryu thought about it and realized that it had more than doubled, and the subsequent increase was indeed limited.

"It's a pity that I didn't consider that the price of crude oil would rise so much. Otherwise, if I were to go long and use a few times leverage, I would make crazy profits."

More than double the increase, even if only double the leverage is used, it is two or three times the profit.

"Who would have thought of such a thing?"

Lin Baicheng also showed regret on his face, giving a proper actor-level performance.

"Lin Sheng, I believe you, count me as the one who invests this time."

After regretting and sighing, Iwasaki Mineryu immediately expressed his stance. In fact, he had already made this decision before he came over.

Again, Lin Baicheng led him to make big profits several times. Before Lin Baicheng failed, no matter how outrageous the investment Lin Baicheng decided to make or how high the risk, Iwasaki Mineryu would participate in the investment.

It's nothing more than that if a certain investor Iwasaki Mineryu feels that the risk is too great, he will pay less, that's all.

When one day Lin Baicheng's investment fails and his unbeaten golden body is broken, then the investment led by Lin Baicheng will have to carefully consider the risks instead of inevitably investing.

"Okay, then Iwasaki-kun will be your one."

Lin Baicheng nodded and said: "But the prerequisite for short selling is that the price of crude oil exceeds 38 US dollars per barrel. If the price of crude oil falls before it reaches this price, then this investment will be abandoned and it will be treated as if there is no such thing."

“Jun Lin, why don’t you go short until the price reaches this level?”

Iwasaki Mineryu is a little confused. If the price of crude oil rises to 37.5 US dollars, does he think that if the price is only 0.5 US dollars, he will not go short.

"Because if you go short below this price, the risk will only be greater. I want to help everyone make money, not gamble."

Lin Baicheng shook his head. He couldn't say that because the price was too different from the price before his rebirth in his memory, he was worried that the variables were too big and he would not be able to grasp the trend.

"All right."

Iwasaki Mineryu did not dissuade Lin Baicheng after hearing this. After all, it was Lin Baicheng who led the investment. He had better not interfere with Lin Baicheng's plan to avoid problems. He invests to make money, not to lose money.

"Lin Jun, you said that I and others can contribute a total of 50 million US dollars. Have the others decided how much to contribute now?"

Lin Baicheng shook his head: "I haven't decided yet, mainly because it's not urgent right now. I'll give them a week to make a decision."

Iwasaki Mineryu immediately said: "Then I want to invest 30 million US dollars, do you think it is okay?"

"Iwasaki-kun, the risk of short selling this time is not small, and the rate of return, even with leverage, may be less than 50%. I have only invested US$50 million. Is it too much for you to invest US$30 million?"

Lin Baicheng looked at Iwasaki Mineryu with some surprise and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Lin Jun, I know there are risks, but I still want to invest 30 million US dollars."

Iwasaki Mineryu made hundreds of millions of dollars following Lin Baicheng. Although the investment of 30 million US dollars was a lot, he didn't think it was too much. He could accept a total loss.

"Iwasaki-kun, you just have to decide."

Lin Baicheng didn't give much advice, but said: "As for Iwasaki-kun, whether you can invest so much depends on how much Huo Sheng, Bao Sheng and others decide to invest in the end. If they don't invest more than 20 million US dollars, then Iwasaki can You can make up for it. If it exceeds US$20 million, it depends on how much Smith and others in the United States are willing to invest."

"Based on Mr. Smith's trust in you, Mr. Lin, I believe his investment will not be small."

Iwasaki Mineryu knew that Phil Smith was like him and had made a lot of money with Lin Baicheng before. Everyone should have the same idea. Before Lin Baicheng failed, they would believe in him and spend a lot of money to participate in every investment of Lin Baicheng. middle.

"I can't confirm this until I go to the United States." Lin Baicheng shook his head.

"Jun Lin."

Iwasaki Mineryu immediately said: "Even if they invest more by then, you still have to accept my US$30 million. If the share is too small, there will be no profit."

"Let's talk about this later."

"Lin Jun, why do you set the investment principal at US$150 million? You can definitely raise US$200 million or more."

"Iwasaki-kun, let's talk about it when the time comes."

Faced with Iwasaki Mineryu's persuasion, Lin Baicheng waved his hand and did not change his mind.

The more funds you operate, the greater the risk. Not only is it easy to be targeted by others, but also because the amount of funds is too large and difficult to operate, and it takes longer to enter and exit.

"Okay, but Mr. Lin, you should reconsider my proposal and give me a larger share. After all, this kind of opportunity to make money is rare."

Iwasaki Mineryu couldn't persuade him anymore, lest Lin Baicheng would get bored.

"I'll think about it carefully."

Lin Baicheng responded and left from Iwasaki Mineryu's house after a while.

The next day, Lin Baicheng left Hong Kong and took a private plane to Los Angeles again. However, Guan Zhilin was not allowed to follow him this time. It was mainly because Lin Baicheng told Guan Zhilin that he would not stay in the United States for too long this time, so Guan Zhilin did not insist on following him.

After all, the relationship with Isabella had just been established not long ago. Lin Baicheng will spend more time in Xiangjiang in the future, so if he goes to the United States this time, he will spend more time with Isabella.

Since there is no time to accompany Guan Zhilin, there is no need to take Guan Zhilin with him.
