Reborn as a Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 587 Lin Baicheng's Ambition (Two in One)

"Mom, Dad and I are back!"

Lin Qin, who had just returned home after not coming back for several months, was very happy in her heart, feeling a long-lost warmth.

"The girl is back, let mom see if she's lost weight."

Zhao Huilan, who knew her daughter would be back around this time, had been waiting at home.If her daughter hadn't said no, she would have wanted to pick him up at the airport.

Seeing this, Lin Haishan said, "How can she be thin? It's not like you don't know, she doesn't have to worry about food and drink."

Zhao Huilan said angrily: "Who said you won't lose weight after eating and drinking enough? What if my daughter thinks I want to lose weight?"

"How long have we been apart?"

Lin Haishan muttered silently, he didn't bother to refute if a good man doesn't fight with a woman.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

Lin Qin hugged Zhao Huilan tightly with an exaggerated expression.

"You damn girl."

Zhao Huilan tapped her daughter's forehead with her index finger, and then asked, "How many days are you planning to stay this time?"

"Go back to Los Angeles after Christmas."

Lin Qin replied, and then turned around to look for it: "Mom, brother and sister know that I'm coming back, why didn't they welcome me at home?"

"You're not a big shot, what's there to welcome you?"

That being said, Zhao Huilan then explained: "Today is Saturday, your sister and her boyfriend Yufeng went out to play, and your brother is at home, but he is talking business with others in the garden, so don't bother him .”

"It's the most boring thing for him to talk about business with others, so I won't bother him."

Lin Qin curled her lips. She had a boring experience once, so she didn't want to experience it again.

"By the way, where are the two cousins?"

Zhao Huilan said: "They are in class upstairs. They still have a lot to learn. You can meet at dinner tonight."

Zhao Huilan met relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Lin Qin was in Los Angeles at that time, and she never came back, so she and her two cousins ​​have never met.

However, when Lin Qin was in Los Angeles, she would also call back, or Zhao Huilan would sometimes call, so Lin Qin and her two cousins ​​greeted each other by phone and chatted for a while.

In the garden of the villa.

Lin Baicheng, Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, Guo Henian, Zheng Yutong, Hu Yinxiang, Li Zhaoji and Iwasaki Peak Ryuha were drinking afternoon tea.

When they had just had afternoon tea, the eight of them didn't talk about business, but chatted about other things.For example, the competition for the control of Hong Kong Electric Group has attracted more attention recently; and the land price has risen sharply since this month. Today, the transaction price of an official residence in Tsim Sha Tsui East is 1.6 Hong Kong dollars per square foot.

If the price of a thousand-foot mansion is 1.6 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, the price of a thousand square feet is 1600 million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention that a thousand-foot mansion is usually more than just a good one-thousand-foot area.

Of course, this is the price of an official residence, and the price of a private apartment must not be so outrageous, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to afford it for a lifetime.Let alone residential apartments, even the prices of villas are not so outrageous.

Compared with ordinary apartments, villas are mansions; compared with villas, mansions are mansions among mansions.

If you buy an ordinary residential apartment in Xiangjiang Island before December, the price per 40 square feet is about 45 to 45 Hong Kong dollars, and the current price is about 50 to Hong Kong dollars.

Although it seems that the increase is not much, the fact is that the increase has exceeded 10%, which is already a very high proportion. You must know that the time is just over half a month.

For ordinary families, it is absolutely impossible to earn Hong Kong dollars in a little over half a month, but the house price has risen so much.

What's more, the real estate market tends to be better than the residential real estate market. If house prices have risen by as much as 10%, the rate of increase in real estate is even greater.

To give the most obvious example, on August 8, Hutchison Whampoa sold the Golden Gate Building to Carrian Group for HK$10 billion. The group offered to acquire the Golden Gate Building, but was rejected by Carrian Group. Chen Qingsong said that the value of the Golden Gate Building should be higher.

Because of this incident, Carrian Group's share price soared, and its market value charged towards 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Lin Baicheng was not sure if there was really a company asking Carrian Group for the acquisition of the Golden Gate Building, because he was not sure if it was the good news that Chen Songqing deliberately released to the outside world, so as to use it to drive up the stock price.

If it was to raise the stock price, then Chen Songqing did it.

Lin Baicheng doesn't care whether Chen Songqing is really hyping or not. Anyway, the stock price rise is beneficial to the major shareholder Hutchison Whampoa. He just needs to let Hutchison Whampoa run away before the bubble bursts, and the rest will be with himself and Hutchison Whampoa. Nothing to do.

In order to avoid trouble, Lin Baicheng has always avoided communicating with Chen Songqing if he could not communicate with him, so as to avoid affecting him in future accidents.

After everyone chatted for a while, Lin Baicheng brought up the business.

"Everyone, the reason why I called you over for afternoon tea today is mainly because I found an opportunity to make money. I am going to try it out with some money. Based on the principle that everyone with money can make money together, I found you."

"Before talking about the opportunity, there are some things to say. If you feel that the risk is too high, or that you don't make money, or you don't like the type of investment, then you should not invest or only invest a little. You can't force things, or you will lose your own money when the time comes."

"The last sentence is that investment is risky. No matter what you do, you may lose money. So don't blame me if you lose money, because I also lost money. Before you decide to cooperate, you should first consider the risks you can bear. , so as not to complain afterwards.”

Two newcomers came today, namely Hu Yinxiang and Li Zhaoji. Of course, Lin Baicheng wanted to say the ugly things first.

"Lin Sheng, don't worry, everyone knows these things well."

Bao Yugang was the first to speak out. When he said this, he looked at Hu Yinxiang and Li Zhaoji, and he knew that Lin Baicheng was speaking to these two people.

Hu Yinxiang immediately said: "Like what you said, Lin Sheng, any investment has risks. I will judge for myself whether to cooperate together. If I lose money in the end, it is because of my own vision."

Li Zhaoji also said: "It's the same for me. You, Lin Sheng, gave you this opportunity to participate in the cooperation. No matter what, you can't blame Lin Sheng for being ungrateful."

Seeing this, other people also said a few words in agreement.

"Okay, as long as everyone knows what's in their hearts."

After seeing everyone express their views, Lin Baicheng nodded, and then said: "The opportunity I found is like this. I don't know if you have paid attention to the recent trend of international gold prices. In the three days yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday, the price of gold rose like a rainbow. As high as 10%."

"I know about this, and I have been paying attention to it. The reason for the surge is that there is friction on the border between Hongsu and Afghanistan. The capital market is worried that there will be a larger-scale war. Therefore, risk aversion is heating up. Gold and oil prices are falling Follow it up."

Iwasaki Mineryu, who was prepared, immediately told everything he knew.

"I have also read the news. The rise in oil prices has made the prospects of the shipping industry even more bleak. Now I can only comfort myself by going ashore in time. In the next few years, my global shipping will suffer."

Bao Yugang shook his head and sighed softly.Although he has already landed, most of his assets are still supported by the global shipping group, so he can only hope that the prospects of the shipping industry will get better and better, and he will not hope that the prospects of the shipping industry will get worse.

Bao Yugang's judgment is right, which means that he has a good vision, but the cost is that his assets have shrunk severely; and if he is wrong, it means that his vision is still not good enough, but the advantage is that not only will his assets not shrink, but will rise slightly. You will earn less because you go ashore.

In both cases, I believe that most people will choose the second one.A momentary wrong judgment is nothing, the serious shrinkage of assets is the most serious thing.

Huo Yingdong also said afterwards: "I also read the news, but I am not familiar with financial investment, so I didn't pay attention to the rise of gold and oil prices."

Others also made their own speeches. Everyone has read this major international news, and even analyzed the consequences of possible subsequent changes and whether they will affect their respective companies.

"To be honest, when I saw the news and learned that the price of gold had soared, I was very regretful, because my long investment was sold early, and I made a lot less money."

After everyone had spoken, Lin Baicheng expressed emotion, and then said: "But the past cannot be changed, so I don't think about it, but analyze it, to see if I can pass this news and the sharp rise in gold prices Come to make money, after all, people have to look forward."

Lin Baicheng definitely couldn't tell them the truth, so he could only brag about it, describing himself as wise and mighty.

It's all basics.

"It's still Lin Sheng who sees far, no wonder he makes so much money."

Whether it was sincere or out of courtesy, everyone praised Lin Baicheng a few words.

Everyone carries the flowery sedan chair, which is almost what it means.

"As for the follow-up trend of gold price, I am personally optimistic. I think that since there is friction between Hongsu and Afghanistan on the border, the possibility of war is extremely high, and there will be a wave of gold price increases in the future. What we have to do is Take the opportunity to enter the market and go long on gold futures."

Lin Baicheng stated his judgment. After a pause, he continued: "Besides you, I have two friends in the United States. I will find them to cooperate with and invest in long gold futures together."

"Lin Jun, how much are you going to invest this time?"

Iwasaki Mineryu did not ask Lin Baicheng for a more specific judgment, but directly asked about the investment amount.He was about to enter the arena, but after Lin Baicheng also entered the arena, based on Lin Baicheng's previous record, he certainly believed in Lin Baicheng's judgment even more.

This is the advantage of the winners. As long as the winners have never failed, people's trust in the winners is considerable or even infinite.

"I think so."

Lin Baicheng glanced at the others, and said: "There are ten people involved in this cooperation including myself. Among them, I contributed 3000 million US dollars, and each of you contributed 1000 million US dollars. The total is 1.2 million US dollars. At that time, we will use five times leverage, that is, operate 6 million US dollars of funds to do long gold futures."

"Here I want to say that the maximum amount of investment you can make is 1000 million U.S. dollars, but if anyone thinks the risk is too high, then it is completely okay not to want to invest, or even just invest 200 million U.S. dollars to make sense. We will not force it. Next time we will There are better opportunities and more cooperation.”

"The maximum investment amount is 1000 million U.S. dollars, which is 4200 million Hong Kong dollars. Using five times the leverage, that is to say, if you lose 20% at that time, all your principal will be liquidated. Even if you don't lose as much as 20%, if you lose 10% , that is also a loss of 2100 million Hong Kong dollars."

"So, when you calculate how much you will lose at most in this investment, and how much you can bear, remember to include the leverage ratio, so as not to feel distressed when you lose too much."

Lin Baicheng maintains an indifferent attitude towards how much other people want to invest, because he will not charge everyone a commission. He is leading them to make a fortune together. How much each person can earn depends on their own judgment.

The reason why he made them rich, of course, Lin Baicheng had a purpose, one of which was to maintain personal connections.

But the deeper reason is that Lin Baicheng is preparing to set up social organizations like the "Jiangnan Society" and "Masonic Society" when the time is ripe. Those who can enter this organization must be the elite of the elite, and the core members must be powerful capitalists. Or powerful politicians.

Of course, this is a loose organization, and Lin Baicheng intends to become the president of the organization, to communicate with each other internally, to borrow other people's resources for a fee to develop themselves, and to benefit each other.

Currently, those people who are led by Lin Baicheng to make a fortune are Lin Baicheng's candidates.

If you want to set up this kind of community organization, you must have great influence and reputation in Lin Baicheng himself. From time to time, you can lead them to make a fortune together, and express some forward-looking opinions, which can reflect Lin Baicheng's ability.

This process is called raising hope.

After a few years, Lin Baicheng proposed to set up a community organization again, and it would be a matter of course.In the meantime, Lin Baicheng can also investigate other people to see who has the potential to become his 'friend'.

"Lin Jun, can you only invest 1000 million US dollars at most? It's a bit too little."

While others were still considering whether to invest or whether to invest as much as 1000 million U.S. dollars, Iwasaki Mineryu immediately disliked that the investment amount was too small. With an investment amount of 1000 million US dollars, even if the final profit is doubled, he will not be too excited.

Lin Baicheng said: "If there are other people who don't invest as much as US$1000 million, then those who want to invest more can invest up to US$2000 million, which is slightly less than me."

"2000 million US dollars? It still feels less."

Iwasaki Mineryu couldn't help shaking his head, feeling a little regretful.

Seeing this, Lin Baicheng smiled and said: "This is our internal investment. If Iwasaki-kun wants to invest more, you can do it yourself. Anyway, I can't see it, I can't manage it, and I am not qualified to manage everyone investment."

It is enough for him to lead people to earn a little money. Lin Baicheng will not care about what other people do in private. It is best to do less or even not to do things that are not beneficial.
