Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 715 Everything (Two in One)

First of all, there are several companies in Japan.

Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. has several good news in a row. The ratings of a TV series invested by the company have exploded. It is currently the annual ratings champion, and it is quite possible to become the annual ratings champion.

Such a popular TV series naturally made the investors make money. Although the company's investment only accounted for 20% of the share, it could also make Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. a lot of money.

What's more, Matsuda Seiko's second album is selling well and has a tendency to sell well. She is likely to become the company's cash cow.

The last piece of good news is that under Momoe Yamaguchi's matchmaking, a well-known female singer chose to join the company and became a signed artist of the company.

The joining of well-known artists can not only improve the reputation of the company, but also very likely to bring huge profits to the company.Although it is still uncertain whether the company can make money, the company's reputation has expanded as a result, which will allow the company to attract more outstanding talents in the future.

There is a lot of good news, but it is a pity that the scale of Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. is not very large, and Lin Baicheng does not attach much importance to this company, so these few good news are nothing more than that to him.

Zhiyin Comic Publishing Company did not have any major incidents and developed steadily.

Bailong Commercial Club, Lin Baicheng's investment in this company is not small, and he has high expectations for this company. Now this company also has a very important thing happening.

The president of the company, Hiroto Sasaki, reported that Bank of Mitsubishi wanted to have a deeper cooperation with the company, wanted to become a shareholder of the company, and Bank of Mitsubishi said that after becoming a shareholder of the company, Bank of Mitsubishi would open up loans for the company in the future The door of convenience.

Real estate companies are absolutely inseparable from bank support. It is impossible to use the company's cash for all the funds needed from land acquisition to real estate construction. From the perspective of capital utilization, bank loans must be obtained, otherwise the company's profits will only be lost. greatly compressed.

What's more, if you are looking for a bank loan, you can ask the bank for help when you have difficulties in the whole process, instead of dealing with any difficulties yourself.

Mitsubishi Bank wanted to become a shareholder of Bailong Commercial Club. Lin Baicheng naturally thought of Iwasaki Mineryu at the first time. After all, the control of Mitsubishi Bank is in the hands of the Iwasaki family. After Mitsubishi Bank becomes a shareholder, the control of the company will be transferred from Lin Baicheng. up.

Lin Baicheng remembered that Iwasaki Mineryu told him last year that with the development and growth of Bailong Commercial Club, it must accept financing from Japanese local capital, otherwise it would be difficult for the company to continue to grow. Lin Baicheng is also psychologically prepared for this.

"Has Mineryu Iwasaki mentioned this to you?"

"Mr. Iwasaki did not contact me."

"Secretary Chen, please contact Iwasaki for me later, and ask him to meet at night or at noon tomorrow. If he is not in Xiangjiang, we can meet again next week."

Lin Baicheng decided to meet with Iwasaki Mineryu and talk to Iwasaki Mineryu in person. Some things still need to be clarified in person.

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

Chen Huixiang responded when she heard the words.

Finally, it's the US side.

First of all, there is good news from Citigroup. The acquisition of related technologies from Bell Labs has come to an end, and it is basically unlikely that there will be another accident this time.

After the acquisition is successful, Sun Electronics Communications will spin off the communication technology and establish a communication company with Citigroup and Di Luo Jason, the vice president of the Telephone and Telegraph Group. How to do it will not be negotiated until the acquisition is completed. .

There is also good news from the Statue of Liberty Broadcasting Company (SLBC). With the help of the Rockefeller family and the Johnson family, Barry Diller has contacted the target TV station to be acquired. The progress has been quite good and is currently under negotiation.If all goes well, the acquisition of the TV station will be completed next month.

There is also good news from Blockbuster. Blockbuster, which has expanded to the whole of California, has entered the attention of several institutions. Even Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway also wants to invest in Blockbuster.

Because Lin Baicheng had invested in Buffett, when he learned that Berkshire Hathaway also wanted to invest in Blockbuster, the secretariat in the United States specifically reported the matter.

"Buffett has a good vision!"

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng felt a little emotional, he is indeed a stock god, and he took a fancy to Blockbuster with extraordinary potential at a glance.

Qin Lan asked aloud, "Boss Lin, do you want Blockbuster to raise funds now?"

"After Blockbuster completes its layout in California, the company can start financing."

Lin Baicheng never thought about not allowing Blockbuster to raise funds. After all, if Blockbuster develops well, it will have a market value of more than [-] billion U.S. dollars in the future. If such a piece of cake is not shared, it will definitely be blocked by all parties. Will be surpassed by later peers.

Therefore, financing and listing must be carried out, and the cake must be shared with others, but he does not want to share it too early, and this will not cause trouble.

Another piece of good news is related to Xinghe Game Company. The topic of "poisoning children caused by arcade games" in the United States has disappeared without a trace. affected.

Galaxy Game Company's arcade machines, the United States and Japan have the most sales, and the US market accounts for about [-]% of the company's revenue and profits. Therefore, if the company's arcade machines are banned here, the impact will be too great. Properly super negative.

Fortunately, the company expanded the topic and spread it to the entire game industry, combined with other game company public relations, and borrowed the power of Wall Street, the congressman who triggered the topic couldn't make waves at all.

Where there is good news, there is naturally bad news.

First up is Apple, whose PC sales have been lower this month as IBM's PCs are about to go on sale.This is the case when IBM's personal computer is not yet on the market. If it is on the market, it can be foreseen that the impact of the time is likely to be even greater.

Affected by this, Apple, which is preparing to go public, has made its listing plan more difficult. Wall Street chooses to wait and see, wanting to see how the sales of Apple's personal computers will be when IBM's personal computers go on sale in May. According to the performance Then judge whether to push Apple to go public.

Whether Apple can go public is related to Lin Baicheng's interests, and it is not a small interest.

Lin Baicheng personally holds 24.3% of Apple's shares, Hutchison Whampoa holds 3% of Apple's shares, and his wholly-owned company Pioneer Technology Venture Capital holds 1% of Apple's shares.

The three together account for nearly 30% of the shares. If Apple depreciates, Lin Baicheng's interests will definitely be greatly damaged.

"Apple doesn't care about it. It would be best for Jobs to lead Apple through the difficulties. If Apple is defeated by IBM in the end, we can find a way to acquire Apple's technology. That would not be a loss."

Lin Baicheng said that although the success of Apple's listing can make him a lot of money, if he can acquire Apple's technology and patents, even if he doesn't earn more than one billion US dollars, he still has to spend money to acquire it. In the long run, it will be worthwhile. of.

However, although he is full of coveting for Apple's technology and patents, as a major shareholder of Apple, Lin Baicheng cannot intentionally damage Apple's interests.That will not only ruin the reputation, but even if Apple is brought down, there is no way to buy shares from Jobs and others, and get Apple's technology and patents.

There is another not-so-good news that is not related to any company, but to Lin Baicheng himself.

In the United States, April is the tax filing season. Lin Baicheng’s personal and corporate taxes have always been reported in early April. However, this year the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has taken a different look at Lin Baicheng and the enterprises under Lin Baicheng’s name, and conducted a very serious and detailed review.

With such a large population in the United States, it is of course impossible for the IRS to conduct a detailed inspection of everyone's taxes. Ordinary people conduct random inspections. If they are lucky, they have not even been inspected for more than ten years.

For the middle class, the IRS is the most stringent, because it is difficult for the rich to receive taxes, and the bottom has almost no money. The middle class has a high income but is not as powerful as the rich, so the middle class is the focus of the IRS tax collection.

Last year and the year before last, the IRS also checked Lin Baicheng's tax returns, but this year they were particularly careful.

Fortunately, there is no problem with Lin Baicheng's tax bill, but if this is the case, the accountant needs to be more cautious when filing taxes for Lin Baicheng, and no one can guarantee whether the tax return that is a bit edge-to-edge will pass.

Being targeted by the IRS is definitely not a good thing.

"Who tells me that I am not an American. If I were a capitalist and super rich in the United States, even the IRS would not dare to mess around."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help curling his lips after hearing this. It is true that the IRS is a very powerful department in the United States, but the United States is a capitalist country where the rich dominate everything. Even if it is as strong as the IRS, it would not dare to offend some super-rich people, at least the relevant leaders of the department would not dare to Offend the rich.

After all, politicians cannot serve in the IRS for a lifetime, at most one or two terms. Now that they have offended the rich, they must be careful of being retaliated when they leave the IRS.

There are no fools in politicians, and politicians who are not smart cannot reach high positions, so politicians will not easily offend capital.

"Mr. Lin, that's all for the big and small things that happened during the time you left Xiangjiang."

Qin Lan said that the small things she mentioned are actually relatively speaking, there are more trivial small things in each company, and there is no need to report these small things to Lin Baicheng.

"okay, I get it."

Lin Baicheng nodded when he heard the words, and he didn't speak for a while, but he was digesting what Qin Lan said just now.

Seeing this, Chen Huixiang and Qin Lan naturally wouldn't bother.

After a while, Lin Baicheng said to Qin Lan and Chen Huixiang: "Now that Xiangjiang Airlines has been established, the company will develop. Please help me arrange the itinerary and ask Baosheng to meet with the three of them. The time will be set next Let’s see the specific time, let’s see the arrangement.”

Chen Huixiang responded: "Yes, Mr. Lin."

Qin Lan also said: "Secretary Chen and I will contact Bao Sheng and the others first, and arrange a time to meet Mr. Lin and them when they are free."

Nodding, Lin Baicheng said: "If there is nothing else, let's do this first. Secretary Chen, you can contact Iwasaki. It's best if you can get in touch. If you can't, go back first."

"Yes!"

Chen Huixiang and Qin Lan answered in unison.

Qin Lan said goodbye and left first, while Chen Huixiang went to make a phone call, giving priority to Iwasaki Mineryu's villa on the Repulse Bay side, which is Iwasaki Mineryu's home in Xiangjiang.

The phone was connected, and it was the servant who answered the phone. The servant told Iwasaki Mineryu that he had just left the house and that Iwasaki Mineryu, who learned that Lin Baicheng had returned, had visited Lin's house.

Knowing that Iwasaki Mineryu was coming, Lin Baicheng left the study and went downstairs, and asked Chen Huixiang to go outside to pick up Iwasaki Mineryu.

"Lin-kun!" "Iwasaki-kun!"

After a while, Iwasaki Minelong was brought in by Chen Huixiang.

Lin Baicheng didn't immediately tell Iwasaki Mineryu that Mitsubishi Bank was going to take a stake in Bailong Commercial Club, but after chatting with Iwasaki Mineryu for a while, he asked Iwasaki Mineryu to go to the Huangda Hotel for dinner at night.

Faced with Lin Baicheng's request, Iwasaki Mineryu did not refuse, and at the same time decided to wait until dinner to say something.

After Iwasaki Mineryu sat for a while, he said goodbye and left, and Lin Baicheng sent him out.

After Iwasaki Minelong left, Lin Baicheng asked Chen Huixiang to go back first, so she didn't have to come back today, and gave her half a day off.

In the evening, Lin Baicheng went to the villa given to Haruko Mouri.

Haruko Mori was at home, and when Lin Baicheng went, she was putting on makeup.

"Cheng-kun, it would be nice to have dinner just the two of us tonight, why did you invite Iwasaki-kun to join you?"

If possible, Haruko Mori would prefer to dine alone with Lin Baicheng, what's the matter with a light bulb like Mineryu Iwasaki.

Lin Baicheng heard the words: "I have something to tell Iwasaki-kun tonight, and you are going back to the United States tomorrow, so of course I will arrange a meal together."

"Is it important?"

Haruko Mori couldn't help asking.

"It's more important. It's related to Bailong Commercial Association. Mitsubishi Bank wants to take a stake in the company."

Since Lin Baicheng took Mouri Haruko to dinner together, he didn't plan to hide the matter from Moori Haruko. After all, he and Iwasaki Mineryu talked about it during the meal, and Mori Haruko could hear it when the time came.

"Mitsubishi Bank shares? How can that be done!"

Haruko Mori immediately objected subconsciously when she heard the words. She used to be Lin Baicheng's assistant and assisted Lin Baicheng in managing the company in Japan, so she knew very well that Lin Baicheng's shareholding ratio in Bailong Commercial Club was 51%, and the remaining 49% In the hands of Iwasaki Minelong.

Iwasaki Mineryu and Mitsubishi Bank must be wearing a pair of pants. Once Mitsubishi Bank takes a stake, the shareholding ratio of Iwasaki Mineryu and Mitsubishi Bank will exceed Lin Baicheng's shareholding ratio, and the control of the company will be forced to transfer, which is very important up.

Once the control of the company is transferred, if one is not good, Lin Baicheng's interests in Bailong Commercial Club cannot be guaranteed. After all, the opponent is the Mitsubishi consortium, and the company is located in Japan. Lin Baicheng will definitely not be able to compete with the Mitsubishi consortium.

Therefore, in Mori Haruko's view, anyone can buy shares in Bailong Commercial Club, but capital related to Mineryu Iwasaki can't.
