Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Hutchison Whampoa.

Chen Songqing and his secretary were sitting in the reception area, drinking coffee and waiting.

After a while, Chen Songqing looked at his watch and said to his secretary: "Xiao Zhang, go and ask what's going on. It's been half an hour."

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

Secretary Xiao Zhang responded and walked towards the secretariat outside the president's office.

After a while, secretary Xiao Zhang came back.

"Mr. Chen, they still said that Weili's senior class was busy, and they told them in advance not to disturb, so they didn't dare to disturb them and asked you to wait."

"okay, I get it."

Chen Songqing nodded expressionlessly. He knew that Wei Li must be knocking him, otherwise he wouldn't have delayed seeing him for half an hour for no reason. He also thought of the reason why Wei Li wanted to beat him and was mentally prepared.

Before doing that, Chen Songqing had already prepared for the worst. Fortunately, he had already anticipated the worst outcome and was fully prepared, so he was not too worried.

Although he was fully prepared, Chen Songqing still had some expectations in his heart, so he did not leave immediately, but continued to wait expressionlessly.

Time passed slowly, and this time Chen Songqing no longer asked the secretary to ask questions, but kept waiting expressionlessly.

Another half hour later, Weili's secretary finally came to them and said that Weili had finished his work.

Chen Songqing followed the secretary to Wei Li's CEO office.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Chen. I was so busy with work just now that I forgot that you were waiting for me."

After seeing Chen Songqing, Wei Li apologized aloud, but it could be seen from the fact that he did not get up from his office chair that his apology was not sincere at all and was obviously just a show.

“The work of a large class is important.”

Chen Songqing said dryly and did not try to expose Wei Li.

"Sheng Chen, please sit down."

Wei Li motioned Chen Songqing to sit down opposite him and said, "Sheng Chen, yesterday I asked Hutchison Whampoa's director stationed in Carining, and he told me that Hutchison, as the major shareholder of Carining Company, has no involvement in Carining's finances. , is this the case?"

"We have professionals managing Jianning's finances. Hutchison Whampoa can check it if it wants, but it is not appropriate to interfere in specific financial matters."

Chen Songqing immediately said that he knew best what was going on with Jianing's finances. After doing his accounting, he is confident that no one will find out the problem. He can let companies such as Hutchison Whampoa and HSBC check the financial information, but it will not work if they are allowed to intervene in the financial department.

If Hutchison Whampoa intervened in the financial department and placed their people, it would be easy to find out that there was a financial problem with Jianning. In the final analysis, no matter how accounting is done for financial convenience, it must be done by people. Once the financial department has its own people who do not belong to Jianing, it is easy to expose some problems and arouse suspicion.

Wei Li looked at Chen Songqing and said, "Chen Sheng, Hutchison is the major shareholder of Jia Ning."

"Taipan, I am the president and chairman of Jianing."

Chen Songqing looked determined, and he would never give in on this aspect.

Looking at Chen Songqing, Wei Li was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Chen Sheng, I heard that you have been very close to Councilor Li and Hu Sheng recently?"

"I met them through the introduction of my friends."

Chen Songqing nodded, secretly thinking that it was true.

"Chen Sheng, I think we are more than just acquaintances, right?"

Wei Li looked at him and said, "I have heard that on some occasions you agreed with Senator Lee's remarks of 'Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong'?"

"This is my personal freedom. Do Taipan or Lin Sheng want to interfere?"

Now that it's come to this point, Chen Songqing doesn't hide anything or give in.

"Of course not. As you said, Chen Sheng, that is your freedom, Chen Sheng."

Wei Li narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Chen Sheng, since you have done this, you must be prepared for the consequences. Since we are not the same people, there is no need for Hutchison to cooperate with Jia Ning, and keep Jianing’s shares.”

Chen Songqing's expression remained unchanged: "Hutchison Whampoa wants to sell its shares in Carin?"

"That's right, since Jianing and Hutchison Whampoa are not from the same family, there is no need for us to hold Jianing shares."

Wei Li nodded. Lin Baicheng has already explained this matter. If Chen Songqing wants to go all the way, he will sell his shares in Jianing Group and not keep a single share.

"I will find someone to take over Hutchison's shares."

Chen Songqing stood up with a somewhat unpleasant look on his face. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, so he was not afraid of Hehuang's attack.

Wei Li immediately said: "We and Huang can give Jia Ning up to half a month, and we will trade again after the lunar new year."

"Half a month is enough, so let's trade after the year."

Chen Songqing said and left directly without saying hello to Wei Li. He was a little surprised, because Hutchison Whampoa actually gave him half a month and was willing to let him find someone to take over the shares. He originally thought that Lin Baicheng would let Hutchison Whampoa sell his shares directly through the stock market. , although this will make less money, it can suppress the stock price of Jianing Group, and Lin Baicheng can at least breathe a sigh of relief.

"How rude."

When Wei Li saw this, he just curled his lips, picked up the phone, and dialed the number.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Mr. Lin, I'm Wei Li."

"Wei Li, Chen Songqing has left?"

"Yes, he just left my office."

"Then what did he say?"

"He said he would find someone to take over the company's shares within half a month."

"Okay, in that case, when he finds someone, he will sell the shares. As for the price, your management will discuss it and see what price is more appropriate, as long as the shares are not sold cheaply."

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

"Okay, that's it for now."

The call ended, and Lin Baicheng, who hung up the phone at this moment, asked his secretary to call Qin Lan over the internal phone.

After a while, Qin Lan knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Lin."

"Sit down."

Instructing Qin Lan to sit down, Lin Baicheng said: "Over at Jianing Group, Chen Songqing has made a decision to find someone to take over Hutchison's shares. Obviously he has made up his mind to join the British capital. In this case, he is mine. There is no need to be polite to the enemy."

Qin Lan immediately said: "Mr. Lin, we have formulated a plan to deal with Chen Songqing in the past few days. We will start taking action only after Hutchison Whampoa's shares are completed."

"You don't need to make plans to deal with the Jianing Group."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this and said: "As for how to deal with the Jiani Group, I will tell you after the sale of Jiani shares in Hutchison Whampoa is completed."

Forget about other companies, Lin Baicheng knows the problems of Jianing Group very well. This company seems to have been making money, and it is very profitable, so the stock price keeps rising, but the fact is that the company's financial affairs are fraudulent, and the so-called profits are just created by Chen Songqing through financial means.

For example, Hutchison Whampoa sold the Golden Gate Building to the Carnegie Group. When Chen Songqing himself needed it, he could sell the Golden Gate Building to a company at a high price, allowing the Carnegie Group to make hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. This looks good, but the fact is that the company that bought the Golden Gate Tower is actually the Carining Group's own company. The so-called profit is just a book profit, and the left hand is the right hand.

Although doing so will cause the Jianing Group to pay some transaction taxes and other expenses due to the transaction, the apparent profits of the Jianing Group will be supported by shareholders and the company's stock price will rise sharply.

When the share price of Jiani Group rises, Chen Songqing himself or someone he arranges can secretly sell Jiani Group's shares and cash out a large amount of money. Alternatively, if Jianing Group issues bonds, there will definitely be institutions and shareholders willing to buy them, allowing the company to obtain a large amount of funds.

The reason why Jianing Group can develop and grow rapidly is indispensable to Chen Songqing's financial fraud.

Knowing this, Lin Baicheng now needs to investigate the financial problems of the Jianing Group and then expose this problem.

Of course, before doing this, we must ask Hutchison Whampoa to sell its shares in the Carining Group and leave the market first, so as not to deceive ourselves.

Jianing Group's financial fraud, as long as this leak is revealed, Jianing Group will definitely fall. No one can save it, and it is impossible to save it. In this way, Lin Baicheng's purpose of killing chickens and scaring monkeys will be achieved. Looking forward to the future Who else dares to offend him easily.

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Although he was wondering how the big boss Lin Baicheng would deal with Jianing Group, Qin Lan didn't ask any more questions. When there are things that she should know, she will naturally know them. If she shouldn't know, asking more will only bring trouble to herself.

"Let's put the matter of Jianing Group aside for now."

Lin Baicheng changed the topic and said, "Have all the New Year's goods distributed to employees of various companies been distributed this year? Are there any problems?"

"Distribution has already started. Some companies have finished distribution, and some companies have not yet finished distribution. There is no problem so far. Employees are very satisfied with the New Year's goods distributed by the company."

Qin Lan replied that the Secretariat has been following up on this matter and is also responsible for supervision. She still knows the progress.

"It's good that the workers are satisfied."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly and said: "The New Year's goods distributed to the workers, whether they are products produced by our own company or purchased from outside, must be of good quality. Your Secretariat must pay close attention to all aspects such as procurement and transportation. , I don’t want to see someone passing off quality products and embezzling the company’s property.”

Qin Lan immediately said after hearing this: "Mr. Lin, don't worry, our Secretariat has been keeping an eye on it, and I believe that this kind of thing will not happen. Even if it does, we will find it as soon as possible and deal with it as soon as possible." No one There is no guarantee that this kind of thing will happen. It is good that the Secretariat can find it quickly. No matter how much, she cannot guarantee it.

"Inside the Secretariat, you, the director, should also pay attention."

Lin Baicheng nodded to Qin Lan. Since the Secretariat has the responsibilities and rights of supervision, interested people will naturally think of working with the supervisors sent by the Secretariat to make profits together. This kind of thing cannot be avoided at all times and in all countries.

Although such a thing has not happened yet, the reminders and warnings are very necessary.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will definitely do a good job in the relevant work."

Qin Lan solemnly responded that if there was a problem with the internal staff of the Secretariat, she, the director, would be responsible for the leadership.

"As for the 1980 annual reports of various companies, I will look at them after the year. Before then, I must help each company prepare their annual reports."

Lin Baicheng changed the topic. The year 1980 in the new calendar has passed. He has not read the annual report for that year, but he has a general idea. After all, he has read all three quarterly reports, and he also asks about the situation of various companies from time to time on weekdays. Related The data is also clear to everyone.

Lin Baicheng still knows what the company's performance is like.

"Mr. Lin, the annual reports of various companies are almost ready. If you want to read them now, you can do so," Qin Lan said.

Lin Baicheng waved his hand: "Let's wait until after the new year to watch it together."

"OK."

Qin Lan did not insist.

The closer the new year approaches, the busier Lin Baicheng becomes.

Because during this period, he not only has to visit some people, but also some people have to visit him. This kind of interpersonal movement is inevitable.

Perhaps due to the influence of the approaching New Year's Eve, there is much less coverage of "one country, two systems" and "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" in newspapers, and there is no need for everyone to attack each other in the newspapers.

However, people with insight know very well that "one country, two systems" and "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong" are related to the ownership of Hong Kong. After the Chinese New Year, old issues will inevitably be brought up again, and there will inevitably be a game.

Moreover, it doesn't actually mean anything whether "one country, two systems" or "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" has more support. Whether Hong Kong can return is the key point. Whether Hong Kong maintains its current status quo or returns to the motherland is the most important thing. .

Regardless of the possibility, it will have a major impact on Hong Kong's economy. All walks of life will be affected, and the impact on specific related companies will be even greater.

Some people may bet correctly, and the company will skyrocket in the next period, and their net worth will skyrocket; some may bet wrong, and the business will be affected, and the company will no longer be able to operate, so they may be forced to leave Hong Kong.

Many people have seen the dangers and opportunities contained in it, and have actively or been forced to participate in it, and there are very few who are neutral.

Many times, you can't be neutral if you want to be neutral.

Take businessmen as an example. Whenever you open a company, you must deal with other companies. In this way, we will either do business with British capital and the Bay Islands, or we will do business with Chinese businessmen and the mainland.

In this case, it is too difficult to avoid being affected. In the end, we can only choose sides based on the operating conditions of our own companies.

Of course, if you have the capital and connections like Bao Yugang and a few others, you can enjoy both sides.

Bao Yugang now supports the mainland, but he is not as direct as Huo Yingdong and Lin Baicheng, but his attitude is clear. However, in this case, he is still a director of HSBC. In this way, even if the winner is Ying Lun, what will happen to Bao Yugang? Yugang's influence won't be too great, at least he has a way out.

There are still people like Bao Yugang in Xiangjiang, but the number is too small. Not everyone has the ability and qualifications to bet on both sides.
