Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 291 Party

Because of the contact one day in advance, among the guests Lin Baicheng invited, except for two congressmen who went to Washington and could not come to the party, the other guests all said they would come to his party that night.

Isabella and Bill Harveys were doing the work of welcoming the guests. Lin Baicheng only needed to chat with the guests who had already arrived.

"BOSS!"

Among the guests, Shirley Lansing, Eric Davis, Adern Sherland and others who were Lin Baicheng's subordinates arrived first.

"Alan!"

While Lin Baicheng was chatting with Eric and the others, Phil Smith came over.

"Smith!"

Lin Baicheng walked over and hugged Phil Smith.

Phil Smith said: "I said, your trip back to Xiangjiang lasts about three months, which is too long."

"Xiangjiang is my base camp, so of course I have to run it well."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile, this is really his true thought. Even if the United States can make more money, after all, he is Chinese, so the United States must not be operated as a base camp, Xiangjiang is the most important.

heavy.

Phil Smith nodded in agreement and reminded: "That's true, but the economy here in the United States is more developed and the market is bigger, so you still have to pay more attention here."

"I know it well."

Lin Baicheng nodded after hearing this.

Upon seeing this, Phil Smith stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he changed the topic and said with envy: "Alan, your "Tank War" is a big seller again. Last year's two games were big sellers. This year,

There are two more styles, you can make a lot of money."

"I make a lot of money, but you also make a lot of money, right?"

It is true that Lin Baicheng earns more, but Phil Smith, the agent, also earns a lot. Lin Baicheng does not know the specific profit, but Lin Baicheng is certain that the profit of Phil Smith's unit will not be less than 300 US dollars.

Take the game "Donkey Kong" as an example. Phil Smith's company purchased 20,000 arcade machines in two batches. Even if they haven't sold all of them yet, half of them should still be sold. Based on the sales of this game,

Due to the popularity in the United States, all 20,000 units will definitely be sold, and more will be purchased in the future.

The profit of 20,000 arcade machines is at least 6 million US dollars, or even more. More importantly, this is just the game "Donkey Kong", "Xiangjiang Cube", "Pac-Man" and "Tank Battle".

I am also an agent, and together they have made at least tens of millions of dollars in profit this year.

"I was just drinking soup after you, Allen. How can I compare with you eating a big piece of meat?"

Phil Smith waved his hand, but the smile on his face showed that he was satisfied with the company's profits. The profit of Lin Baicheng's $300 machine was far lower than the actual profit made by Phil Smith, but the specific profit

It must be a secret, just like Phil Smith doesn't know exactly how much money Lin Baicheng can make from an arcade machine, and can only estimate it based on guesswork.

"Alan, do you know Taito Co., Ltd., the agent for your game in Japan? The "Space Invaders" developed by this company has recently become very popular in the American market. It is conceivable that this company can earn a lot of money.

The profit will definitely not be low.”

"This game is really good."

Lin Baicheng nodded.

"Alan, I found that making games is really profitable."

Phil Smith said with emotion: "Not only does it make arcade games, but Atari's video games are now selling more and more, and its revenue and profits have increased significantly. It's a pity that this company is not listed, otherwise, its stock price will inevitably fall.

Ushering in a surge.”

"Smith, you only see people making money, but you don't see investment and losses."

Lin Baicheng shook his head noncommittally and said: "Take the Atari you mentioned as an example. Now that the sales of video games are not bad, Atari will naturally make money, even a lot. However, the equipment developed by Atari

After investing 100 million US dollars, if it is not welcomed by the market, you can imagine how much loss Atari will suffer."

"That's true."

It’s not that Phil Smith doesn’t understand this, but he sees the success of games developed by Lin Baicheng Company, so he subconsciously thinks that almost all games developed by Lin Baicheng will be accepted by the market.

"Alan! Smith!"

While Lin Baicheng and Phil Smith were chatting, Wade Thomas from Goldman Sachs walked over.

"Thomas, welcome to the party I'm throwing."

Lin Baicheng shook hands with Wade Thomas who came over.

Wade Thomas smiled and said: "Ellen, there's no reason why I shouldn't come to the party you're throwing."

Lin Baicheng said: "Thomas, please make an appointment tomorrow. I have an acquisition to entrust to Goldman Sachs. We will talk about it then."

"No problem!"

Wade Thomas immediately agreed and said happily: "I didn't expect you to give me a big gift when I first came to Allen."

Phil Smith next to him said with a smile: "Then you have to thank Allen properly later and have a few more drinks with Allen."

"This is as it should be!"

Wade Thomas nodded.

The three of them chatted, and soon Steve Jobs from Apple arrived.

As Apple's computer sales are increasing, revenue and profits are increasing, and the company's valuation continues to rise, it can be said that Jobs is now in high spirits.

Regarding Apple, because Lin Baicheng helped guarantee Apple's unsecured loan from Goldman Sachs last time, Wade Thomas also paid attention to Apple later and knew that the company is now developing better and better, and with its current situation

Judging from the growth rate, the future is quite promising.

Therefore, under the operation of Wade Thomas, Goldman Sachs bought a total of 5% of the shares from several shareholders of Apple at a very high premium and became a small shareholder.

Lin Baicheng also knew about this. Because of the changes in important shareholders, as a major shareholder, he would of course know about it. However, this matter had nothing to do with him. After he knew about it, he ignored it.

As the party time approached, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Republican congressmen came one by one, and the party officially started.

This party is not a carnival party, but a gathering among Lin Baicheng's friends. Everyone mainly chats.

As the organizer of the party and the richest one, Lin Baicheng was naturally the protagonist of the party, and everyone chatted around him.

As we chatted, we inevitably talked about Lin Baicheng's investment in long gold futures. Fortunately, Wade Thomas didn't mention the specific funds Lin Baicheng invested, and he used the word "big profit" to make it happen.

Phil Smith also invested in long gold futures, and he also made a lot of money. He also asked Lin Baicheng if he was going to settle the profits. Lin Baicheng replied ambiguously and said that he would wait and see the market changes. Before selling the long order,

Lin Baicheng will definitely not express his intention to sell long orders.
