Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 350 Two women return to the United States

In the afternoon, Lin Baicheng held a board meeting at Hutchison Whampoa to report to the board of directors on the specific transactions of stock buybacks and discuss the direction of use of profit-making funds.

Of course, it is said to be a discussion, but Lin Baicheng has clearly stated that the funds must be invested before the end of December to avoid paying a large amount of tax. At the same time, the investment direction has also been decided on the two businesses of real estate and retail.

Although the investment direction has been determined, there are still many things to discuss. For example, if you invest in real estate, whether to build it yourself or buy a property, what to build yourself, etc.; if you want to invest in retail, which country should be prioritized for expansion, who should be sent to expand, etc.

These will all be decided after discussion with the board of directors.

Lin Baicheng grasps the general direction, and Wei Li and others arrange specific matters, and he will finally make the final decision. This is how Lin Baicheng has managed Hutchison Whampoa for the past year. So far, there are no major problems in the company's operation.

"Lin Sheng!"

After the board meeting, Guo Henian found Lin Baicheng.

"Guo Sheng!"

The two shook hands and walked outside the conference room together.

Guo Henian said: "Lin Sheng, this time the company bought a piece of land in Mong Kok from the Hong Kong government. The price is much cheaper. Is it related to the stock buyback transaction?"

Although the specific transaction of repurchasing shares was reported to the board of directors, the price difference compensation for the purchase of the land was not stated at the board of directors. After all, this was a private transaction that harmed the interests of the Hong Kong government. The content of the board of directors' meeting was that

Recorded, how could he say such a thing so stupidly and directly.

If word gets out accidentally, there will definitely be a commotion, which will be detrimental to Hutchison Whampoa.

"Guo Sheng saw it."

Lin Baicheng smiled softly and did not deny it. He knew that smart people could see it.

"That's fine."

Guo Henian said solemnly: "The combined efforts of many British-owned families will definitely affect the Hong Kong government's decision when it is needed. Now that they can admit defeat, it is also a good thing for Hutchison Whampoa."

"I thought so too."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly. After all, Xiangjiang is now a British colony. If it is confirmed that 97 will return in a few years, it will be different. Although the Hong Kong government still controls Hong Kong, if it wants to ignore the law and do anything, it can't

So easy.

Therefore, it is very important for businessmen to have a strong motherland as a backing, otherwise their assets abroad will be threatened at all times.

Nodding, Guo Henian changed the subject and said: "Lin Sheng, thanks to you this time, Brother Huo, Bao Sheng, Zheng Sheng and I all made a lot of money, so we thought of holding a banquet to express our gratitude.

Please tell me when will you have time?"

"I'm going to the United States before Christmas, before the 20th. Guo Sheng, you can decide the specific time."

Lin Baicheng didn't refuse. Our relationship requires more contact to get better. If we don't move around more, how can the relationship get better?

"There is still more than a week left, no problem. We will contact Lin Sheng in advance after the time is confirmed."

Guo Henian nodded in agreement and did not ask Lin Baicheng what he was going to do in the United States before Christmas.

After the two chatted for a few words, Guo Henian said goodbye and left.

Lin Baicheng did not stay at Hutchison Whampoa until get off work, but left the company at four o'clock and went to Yum Securities.

At Yum Securities, there were already people waiting for him here.

"Haruko! Vivien!"

Lin Baicheng met Haruko Mouri and Vivien Kelly in his office at Yum Securities.

"Chairman!" "BOSS!"

Lin Baicheng invited the two of them to sit down on the sofa.

Lin Baicheng said to the two of them: "After you two return to the United States, you will develop the Golden Fleece Company. I hope you can achieve results as soon as possible."

Vivien Kelly immediately said: "BOSS, don't worry, we will not let you down."

Haruko Mouri also echoed, and she is now also a member of the Golden Fleece Company.

Nodding, Lin Baicheng asked: "Are the negotiations with Henry Caesar and the others still continuing today?"

"The negotiations will end before three o'clock."

Vivien Kelly replied: "Their bid is still below 55 Hong Kong dollars, while our asking price is more than 60 Hong Kong dollars. The price difference between the two parties is at least 10%, so the negotiation is still not concluded."

"There's no rush for now."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "It's best if we can negotiate. If we can't negotiate, there will be no loss. Just sell slowly. Having said that, I asked you to start selling when the stock price exceeds 60 Hong Kong dollars. In the morning, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price exceeded 60.

Hong Kong dollar, how many shares did you sell today?"

"Not long ago, Bill's assistant called and reported this matter."

This time it was Haruko Mouri who spoke out. She said: "According to your request, we will slowly sell the stocks without suppressing the stock price. Therefore, the number of stocks we sold is not large, only 2 million shares.

The average selling price was HK$60.7, and about HK$120 million was collected.”

"Take your time, don't rush."

Lin Baicheng smiled. Today's closing price of Hutchison Whampoa is HK$61.15. If he had not asked the offshore company to sell the shares, the stock price would definitely rise higher. However, the shares of the offshore company must be sold.

Otherwise, Lin Baicheng's US$100 million in funds would remain with the securities firm as a deposit, and the interest on the financing would have to be paid every day.

The reason why the capital was only US$100 million was because the US$100 million later transferred as margin was transferred away after Hutchison Whampoa's stock price exceeded 30 Hong Kong dollars, because at this time no more margin was needed.

Vivien Kelly asked aloud: "BOSS, the company has made a huge profit this time. Do you have any arrangements for the profit funds?"

Lin Baicheng glanced at Vivien Kelly: "You want me to invest funds in the company and leave more funds to you for operation, right?"

"I know I can't hide it from you, BOSS."

Vivien Kelly nodded and admitted that she did think so.

"There's no rush now. Let's wait until the funds raised from selling the stocks have repaid the financing provided by the brokerage firm."

Lin Baicheng shook his head. He had not yet decided what to do with the funds. After all, the stocks had just started to be sold and he had not seen the money yet, so it was meaningless to think about it so much.

Seeing what Lin Baicheng said, Vivien Kelly certainly couldn't ask any more questions.

After Lin Baicheng chatted with Haruko Maori and Vivien Kelly for a while, he sent them to the airport.

Today, Haruko Maori and Vivien Kelly will return to the United States with some of their staff. After all, the Golden Fleece Company has just been established, and the two veterans cannot leave for too long, leaving the company under the management of a newcomer, Sun Yiyang, for a long time.

Anyway, Bill Harveys and Doug Gordon stayed in Hong Kong with some of their remaining manpower, and they were operating Hutchison Whampoa's stocks.
