Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 233 The Ship King’s Commission

Lin Baicheng spent more and more time at Galaxy Games Company.

After the R&D team of "Tank Battle" returned to Xiangjiang, they continued the development of the game. Now that the game's development has entered the final stage, Lin Baicheng often goes there to review and control the game.

Lin Baicheng is still very confident about the game "Tank Battle". This is a classic game that has been recognized by the market in its previous life. Although it was released six or seven years in advance, in this era when high-quality games are rare, it is more popular than its previous game.

Possibility of fire.

Of course, it is also possible that the game was not popular because the game was released ahead of schedule, but it was only six or seven years ahead of schedule, so this possibility is not high, at least that's what Lin Baicheng thinks.

A popular arcade game can bring Lin Baicheng at least one to two hundred million U.S. dollars or more in a few years, so there is no reason for Lin Baicheng not to pay attention to it.

ATV's Miss Asia is still accepting applications, Star Pictures' "Snake" is in theaters, and Jupiter Toy Company's claw machine is undergoing final inspection

Lin Baicheng has a lot of things going on in various companies under his name, but Lin Baicheng often goes to Galaxy Games to personally control the ending of "Tank War" because this game is likely to bring Lin Baicheng the most benefits.

August 5th is another Saturday.

On a rare weekend, Lin Baicheng took his bodyguards to a dock this afternoon.

"Lin Sheng, long time no see."

Someone is already waiting for Lin Baicheng's arrival.

"Wu Sheng, we haven't seen each other for a while."

Lin Baicheng shook hands with Wu Guanzheng. This man was Wu Guanzheng, the second son-in-law of the shipping king Bao Yugang.

"Lin Sheng, my father-in-law is already waiting for you on the boat. Please come this way."

Wu Guanzheng said, leading the way and walking up the gangway placed on the yacht.

Lin Baicheng followed Wu Guanzheng up, but not all his bodyguards went up. A few people stayed to watch the car, and the remaining six followed Lin Baicheng onto the yacht.

"Lin Sheng, you're finally here."

As soon as he got on the yacht, Lin Baicheng saw Bao Yugang approaching.

"Bao Sheng!"

Today, Bao Yugang asked Lin Baicheng to go fishing at sea. Lin Baicheng had no important things to be busy with, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Azheng, you can let us sail the boat."

Bao Yugang said to his son-in-law Wu Guanzheng, then glanced at Lin Baicheng's bodyguards and said: "These guys are very entertaining."

"No need, Mr. Bao, we just stay aside."

As the leader of the bodyguards, Chen Yaoxian immediately declined.

"If that's the case, then I won't force it."

Bao Yugang nodded when he heard this without forcing himself.

Lin Baicheng smiled and said, "I hope Mr. Bao doesn't mind. I will always bring some bodyguards with me wherever I go."

"What did Lin Sheng say? It is indeed necessary to pay more attention to safety."

Bao Yugang waved his hand. Although he felt that Lin Baicheng paid too much attention to his own safety, everyone had different ideas and he couldn't say much.

While the two were talking, the yacht started and headed towards the sea.

Lin Baicheng and Bao Yugang sat down at the table and chairs with parasols. Wu Guanzheng quickly came over and stood next to Bao Yugang. As for Lin Baicheng's bodyguards, they stood far away,

But his eyes never left Lin Baicheng's body.

Bao Yugang said to Lin Baicheng: "Lin Sheng, in addition to inviting you to go fishing today, there is actually something I want to ask you for help with."

"Sheng Bao, please tell me."

Lin Baicheng was not too surprised when he heard this.

Bao Yugang said: "That's right, Lin Sheng, don't you own a securities company? I want to entrust Lin Sheng, your securities company to help buy the stocks of a listed company."

"But Wharf?"

When Lin Baicheng heard this, he immediately thought of Wharf. After all, this company was Bao Yugang's escape route from abandoning ship to land. Now that Bao Yugang has not yet obtained control of the company, the first thing he thought of was naturally

company.

"It's the Wharf."

Bao Yugang nodded and confirmed Lin Baicheng's guess. He said: "Because of HSBC Shen Taipan's peacemaking, Jardine and I agreed that within one year neither party would openly or covertly increase their holdings in Wharf. After one year,

Just feel free to do it.”

"It's just that Newbie was involved in Hutchison Whampoa's short selling a while ago, which caused Jardine Matheson to suffer huge losses. Not only did it lose about 200 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, but it also lost 3% of the shares it originally held at low prices.

Remember that Whampoa shares were sold, New Bijian resigned as a result, and Jardine Matheson changed its chairman."

"Now, Jardine has suffered huge losses, which is an opportunity for me. However, due to the agreement, I cannot increase my holdings in Wharf, so I can only choose to look for foreign aid."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. He didn't ask Bao Yugang why he didn't break the agreement with Yihe. After all, it was definitely just a verbal agreement and had no legal effect. The reason for not breaking the agreement was simply to take into account the face of HSBC's chief executive, Shen Chow.

Bao Yugang is a director of HSBC, and his personal relationship with Shen Chow is probably not bad. If he doesn't give Shen Chow face, the loss will only be greater for him.

"Sheng Bao, I would like to ask, how many shares of Wharf have you acquired now?"

"I currently hold more than 22 million shares, holding nearly 25% of the shares."

Bao Yugang replied, and then said: "As for the shares held by Jardine Matheson, although I don't know the specific number, I think it won't be much more than me. The possibility of exceeding the 30% shareholding ratio is not

big."

"So, Mr. Bao, what do you want me to do?"

Lin Baicheng asked aloud, obviously agreeing to help.

"I hope you, Lin Sheng, can secretly buy Wharf stocks. If you are discovered by Jardine He, you can just boldly raise the price and buy it. It is best to buy 25% of the shares. I am going to learn from you, Lin Sheng."

, holds 49.9% of Wharf’s shares.”

"Although there is an agreement, as long as you, Lin Sheng, buy a sufficient number of stocks, I will immediately buy all the stocks from you, Lin Sheng. I believe that Mr. Shen will understand if he knows this. After all, I have not failed to abide by the agreement."

.”

"As for the funds, I can only ask you to come out first, Lin Sheng. I won't let you help Lin Sheng in vain. No matter how much you spend to acquire the shares, I will buy Lin Sheng at a 20% premium."

What do you think of all the shares in your hands?"

Bao Yugang still has a lot of friends, but there is no one who can spend hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars at one time. Everyone's funds are useful. But he knows that Lin Baicheng made a lot of money by going long Hutchison Whampoa a few months ago.

, this is why he asked Lin Baicheng for help.

"Since Mr. Bao has said so, there is no reason for me to refuse."

Lin Baicheng smiled and agreed. Although the 20% profit was not a lot, it was not small either. He had no reason to refuse and regarded it as a favor between friends.

"Thank you Lin Sheng for your help. I owe you Lin Sheng a favor."

Bao Yugang was overjoyed when he heard this. Although there would be a 20% premium for acquiring the shares from Lin Baicheng, it would be much less than what he would have spent to compete with Jardine in an upright manner, and it would save him a lot of money.

"You're sorry."

Lin Baicheng was even more happy when he heard this. A favor from Bao Yugang will always be useful.

After that, the two stopped talking about business and started chatting until they arrived at the fishing area and started fishing.

Although Lin Baicheng had never fished before, Bao Yugang was a good fisher, so Bao Yugang taught him, and he learned quickly. In fact, he didn't like fishing very much, and he sat motionless.

But since they were all here, it was hard for him to say anything.
