Reborn as a Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 212 All Things
10 billion Hong Kong dollars, nearly 2.4 million US dollars.

Originally, Lin Baicheng planned to use this money to invest in a home appliance company, but the plan was to give up and go to Hollywood instead. However, Morningstar Pictures only spent 5000 million US dollars. Of course, Lin Baicheng could not put the rest of the money in the bank for interest.

The first profit of "Donkey Kong" was tens of millions of dollars. Lin Baicheng raised a total of 2 million dollars, and then used the money to finance through Goldman Sachs, using times leverage to do long gold futures.

A while ago, the price of gold started to rebound after falling below $160 per ounce, and now it has stabilized above $160 per ounce. Lin Baicheng guessed that the possibility of further decline this year is very small.

This money does not need to be used as a security deposit, and it is impossible to put it in the bank to earn interest, so it must be used for investment.As for investment, 80 years ago, investing in gold futures was the most cost-effective and the most profitable investment.

For this ten-fold leveraged investment, the financing used by Lin Baicheng can be canceled at any time, so the financing interest will be higher.The reason for doing this is that Lin Baicheng was not sure when he would use a large amount of funds, so he did not raise funds for a long time, lest he had to think of other ways to use the money temporarily.

This money, in fact, is the same as in the bank, and can be withdrawn at any time.It's just that compared to putting it in a bank, long gold futures investment uses leverage, and the profit will be higher.

Originally, there was a great risk, but Lin Baicheng can almost confirm that the risk does not exist, so the risk can be ignored.

After the establishment of Morningstar Films, Shirley Lansing began to integrate. The leading actor of "Home Alone" is not so easy to find, so you need to wait.

However, Lin Baicheng developed office software during the day, but at night he took time out to write the script outline of the "Home Alone" trilogy.He was very impressed with the first two films in this series, so he could write the script based on the films, and he could only provide the outline for the third film.

Even so, the first two scripts have to be revised by professional screenwriters. After all, they are American family comedies with different cultures. The Hollywood screenwriters must be more familiar with how to be funny.

Lin Baicheng will not be sloppy about "Home Alone", a series of films that make a lot of money with a small blog. The better the pre-work is done, the higher the degree of restoration and the greater the possibility of success.

Time passed unknowingly, and it was July in a blink of an eye.

In about half a month, Shirley Lansing has completed the integration of Morning Star Films, and then began to produce two low-cost films.Although Lin Baicheng said that Shirley Lansing can make her own decisions about the low-budget film, Shirley Lansing still reports to Lin Baicheng about the film she will shoot and asks Lin Baicheng for her opinion.

Lin Baicheng is not familiar with these two films, no matter the title or the plot, but this is normal. Unless this kind of low-budget film can make a lot of money, Lin Baicheng cannot have an impression of it.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng did not make any comments, but just told Shirley Lansing to let her decide for herself.

Shirley Lansing was quite satisfied with this. It seemed that her boss really kept her promise, and let her decide after saying that she would make a decision on a low-budget film, without interfering with regret.In this way, she can develop the company freely.

Now, New Century Software's office software has entered the final stage of research and development and is about to be completed, so Lin Baicheng is now focusing more on this.Unless he finds an actor who is suitable for the protagonist of "Home Alone", Lin Baicheng will not intervene in the shooting of low-budget films even without a prior promise.

Lin Baicheng spends more time on New Century Software Company, so that office software can be developed more quickly.

The office software has not been developed yet, and Lin Baicheng learned something from Qin Lan, which happened in Xiangjiang.

Jiayi TV, one of the three major TV stations in Hong Kong, was not popular because of educational programs. The ratings were so low that the TV station could not make money through advertising for half a year. Therefore, the top management of the TV station launched the 'July Offensive'.Before the launch, Jiashi artists came out in empty groups, parading in floats in hot weather, visiting 7 districts in Hong Kong to promote Jiashi programs, and newspapers were full of advertisements.

It can be said that the Jiayi TV station at this time was a sensation in Xiangjiang, and it was difficult for the citizens of Xiangjiang not to know about it, and the ratings increased sharply for a while.

Huang Xizhao reported this matter to Lin Baicheng, not because he was worried about the ratings of Asia TV, but because he learned that Jiayi TV was in financial difficulties. If this "July offensive" didn't work, JiaTV An already difficult financial situation will only get worse.

As far as Huang Xizhao learned, Jiashi only received a capital injection from the board of directors last year. Now that the TV station has encountered financial problems, it is unlikely that the board of directors will inject capital again. Jiashi may go bankrupt if it fails.Jiashi has a fixed time limit to broadcast educational programs, so Huang Xizhao thinks that the possibility of someone acquiring it is very low.

Huang Xizhao, who believed that Jiashi might go bankrupt, reported to Lin Baicheng while welcoming the "July Offensive", hoping to get Lin Baicheng's approval. Once Jiashi was in crisis, he would first wirelessly poach Jiashi's talents to Asia TV station.

After learning about Huang Xizhao's thoughts, Lin Baicheng naturally would not object, saying that he would let Huang Xizhao figure it out on his own, as long as it is a talent that is conducive to the development of the TV station, no matter whether it is in front of the stage or behind the scenes, he can be recruited.

"Did Jiashi go bankrupt in August or September?"

Lin Baicheng thought about it, but still couldn't remember the specific time.But for him, it doesn't matter whether Jiashi closed down in August or September.

However, after Jiashi went bankrupt, TVB's only rival was left.Unlike Jiashi, TVB has no restrictions on educational programs, and TVB's shareholders are not short of money, so if they want to beat TVB, they can only rely on high-quality TV dramas and other programs, and there is no other possibility of tricks.

For Lin Baicheng, it's okay if he can't beat TVB, as long as he can suppress TVB and make Asia TV the largest TV station in Hong Kong and occupy more ratings.The money that can be earned from TV stations is not much, what he values ​​is the importance of TV stations to publicity.

Ignoring Xiangjiang's affairs, Lin Baicheng led Aiden Sherland, Peter Roslin and other employees of New Century Software Company to make the final sprint for office software.

In today's New Century Software Company, all the R&D personnel admire their boss's computer technology. At the same time, they also wonder why there is such a computer-skilled person as the boss in the computer desert of Asia.

For similar doubts, whenever someone asked about it, Lin Baicheng always smiled and did not explain.He is the boss, even if he doesn't explain, no one dares to force him.
