Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 590 There is no shortage of R&D funds (two-in-one)

On the day after Christmas, large companies like Hutchison Whampoa and Hong Kong Electric Group have not officially started working yet, but their lower-level employees have already started working on this day, but they will be charged overtime pay on this day.

Since today is still a holiday, Lin Baicheng does not need to go to various companies on this day.

When Lin Baicheng woke up in the morning, he couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw the two women beside him. Last night, he found an opportunity. In the name of Christmas, he had a few more drinks with Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko.

, and their own resistance was not very strong, so Lin Baicheng was satisfied.

Fortunately, Lin Baicheng is young and strong now, and has plenty of physical strength, so he can withstand it.

Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko couldn't stay in Xiangjiang for too long, especially Yamaguchi Momoe, so Lin Baicheng decided to stay with them all day today.

When Lin Baicheng got up, he didn't wake up the two girls. He went to take a bath, and then went outside the villa to exercise and exercise.

"Mr. Lin, I have already sent breakfast over."

When Lin Baicheng finished his run, Chen Huixiang handed Lin Baicheng a towel.

Chen Huixiang was originally Lin Baicheng's secretary at Hutchison Whampoa. Later, Qin Lan was promoted from Lin Baicheng's personal secretary to the secretary-general here in Xiangjiang, so the vacated seat was finally filled by Chen Huixiang.

Lin Baicheng's secretary stationed at Hutchison Whampoa is certainly not bad in terms of status. After all, Hutchison Whampoa is a large group with a market value of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. However, compared with Lin Baicheng's personal secretary, it is much inferior. Although there is no difference in job placement.

, but the degree of closeness to the boss is different. The status of a personal secretary is a little higher.

Lin Baicheng took the towel and wiped his sweat: "Have you prepared breakfast for Huizi and Shengzi?"

"It's all ready. It's the food the two ladies are used to eating."

Chen Huixiang responded, because Lin Baicheng and the other women were not husband and wife, so the people below would not call them "Madam", but "Ms."

"Um!"

Lin Baicheng went upstairs to the villa to wake up Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko and asked them to get up and have breakfast.

On this day, Lin Baicheng had been accompanying Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko. He only went back during dinner in the evening, and spent the night with the two girls.

The next day is already Thursday. All companies are working normally, and Lin Baicheng is about to start work. Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko are planning to go back to Tokyo this morning. Lin Baicheng does not need to see them off. Chen Huixiang will take someone to see them off.

They board the plane.

It's not that Lin Baicheng is unwilling to fly them back to Tokyo on a private plane, but that Lin Qin, Deng Lijun, and Lin Qingxia are going back to the United States. The private plane will have to fly the three of them, and there is no way to fly Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko.

Lin Baicheng did not go to HK Electric Group today, but went to Hutchison Whampoa. The shareholders' meeting of HK Electric Group will be held tomorrow Friday, so he will go there tomorrow to deal with matters at HK Electric Group.

At Hutchison Whampoa, Lin Baicheng first read some reports sent by Qin Lan.

On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day ahead, there are performance reports on the arcade machines of Galaxy Games Company, the console cassettes of Star and Moon Electronic Games Company, the Rubik's Cube and Yo-Yo toys of Jupiter Toys Company, the box office of "Home Alone", and so on.

Galaxy Game Company's arcade machines are selling well as always, and the products were sold to agents before Christmas. What we should pay attention to is the popularity of the arcade machines in game halls during the Christmas period, and whether players like to play the company's games.

game.

Galaxy Games' arcade machines have a certain return rate after agents buy them. If the game is not popular in the market, agents can return 30% of the games unconditionally, and Galaxy Games will bear the intermediate shipping costs.

Such terms are definitely unfavorable to Galaxy Games, but there is no way. Without such terms, agents would definitely not dare to purchase large quantities of goods, which is not conducive to sales. Therefore, for the sake of sales, the protection that should be given must still be given to agents.

The consoles and cassettes of Xingyue Electronic Game Company were extremely popular during the Christmas period. With the promotion of a large amount of funds, the sales volume exploded. The sales volume in these days was almost equivalent to 30% of all previous sales.

It can be seen that Xingyue Electronic Game Company's consoles and cassettes have been fully accepted by the market. More and more people are paying attention to this product. More and more children are buying this product. The future is almost visible.

.

The important thing is that the Xingyue console is priced at US$199 at Christmas, discounted from the original price of US$229, and the discounted price is US$199. As long as the product sales are not bad, after a period of time, it can be considered to continue to increase

price.

If the price of the Xingyue console can be increased to US$229, then Xingyue Electronic Game Company will not suffer much loss in the console, but the cassette will bring huge profits to the company, and the company will definitely make a lot of money.

Special profit.

In the United States, Christmas is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China, so every family will purchase supplies in large quantities. Various toys sold by Starlight Company are also very popular. Several toys sold by Jupiter Toys Company in Starlight Company are also very popular.

, bringing a lot of profits to the company.

The movie "Home Alone" was released a few days before Christmas. Morningstar Pictures still did not do as good a job in publicity and distribution as the Hollywood Eight. Fortunately, the company invested a lot of money in publicity and distribution.

As a result, I got a lot of opening screens.

Furthermore, the film is released a few days before Christmas, not far from Christmas, so the schedule is not bad.

The box office of "Home Alone" in its first week was not bad, with more than 20 million US dollars. Even if the theater chain's share is deducted, it was enough for the producer to recover the cost. However, although the film's box office performance was not bad, it was not amazing.

If nothing unexpected happens, and according to normal box office trends, the film will only have a box office revenue of around US$50 million when it is released.

However, the movie's box office performance suddenly exploded on Christmas Eve. A large number of children begged their parents to take them to see the movie. When children go to the movie, their parents usually accompany them, so one child is equivalent to two adult tickets.

and a child ticket.

On Christmas Eve alone, "Home Alone" took in more than $8 million at the box office.

The next day, Morningstar Pictures contacted the theaters to increase the number of screens, and the theaters agreed without thinking, increasing the number of screens by 20%. On Christmas Day, the film reported a revenue of nearly 13 million US dollars.

box office.

And just yesterday, theaters once again increased the number of screens for "Home Alone" and reported a box office of US$12 million.

In three days, "Home Alone" reported a box office of US$33 million. Adding in the US$20 million accumulated previously, the film now reported a box office of US$53 million.

This movie can now be said to be completely successful. All we need to do now is to strengthen publicity so that the movie can have huge box office figures after it is released.

Due to time constraints, Shirley Lansing took the initiative and asked Morningstar Pictures to spend a sum of money to strengthen publicity. The crew took the starring team to promote in the United States. This matter was also mentioned in the report, and Lin Baicheng certainly would not blame Xue

Leigh Lansing took matters into her own hands.

During these Christmas days, the results of various companies are very good, and Lin Baicheng is very satisfied with this. Although due to time constraints, the specific sales performance of these Christmas days has not yet been calculated, but there is a rough figure, which is enough.

The specific achievements will be reflected in the monthly and annual reports, and it is likely that the people below will report to him in a few days.

However, today Lin Baicheng is more concerned about the trends of the gold futures and oil futures markets. Today is the first trading day after the long holiday. The market will definitely react to the incident of Hongsu transporting officers and soldiers and weapons and equipment.

Today, the funds of the small circle organized by Lin Baicheng will also enter the market to do long gold futures today. They have arranged for people to be divided into two teams and go to London and New York respectively.

Due to the time difference, Hong Kong is about 8 hours ahead of London and about 12 hours ahead of New York. In other words, 5 pm in Hong Kong time is 9 am in London, when the capital market officially starts trading.

; On the New York side, you have to wait until 9 p.m. Hong Kong time, while the New York side is only 9 a.m. before you can trade.

The reason why the operation team is divided into two teams this time is to allow some of the funds to enter the market earlier.

Time passed slowly until five o'clock in the afternoon.

At nine o'clock in the morning London time, the capital market began trading.

The price of gold immediately rose sharply at the beginning of the market, rising by as much as 3% in just a few minutes. A large number of funds continued to enter the market for long purchases, and there were basically no selling orders.

When the price of gold rises by more than 4%, it begins to fluctuate slightly. If it rises too much, funds will be cashed out. And this does not necessarily mean that funds are leaving the market. It is very likely that large funds are opening short orders to suppress the price of gold, so that

You can buy more low-level chips by yourself.

However, the overall trend of gold prices is to rise sharply. This is everyone's unanimous judgment. Therefore, even if big funds want to suppress the gold price, they dare not go too far, lest they be attacked by a large number of long funds.

After fluctuating slightly for a while, the price of gold rose during the shock, but the trend was not as fierce as it was at the beginning.

The trend of gold prices makes Lin Baicheng very happy. With his capital of more than 10 billion US dollars after using leverage, a 4% increase is equivalent to a profit of 400 million US dollars, not to mention that this trend is definitely not just the current point.

"Let's go up. Let's keep going up. Our research and development funds for the semiconductor industry and biomedicine depend on you."

After listening to the report, Lin Baicheng hung up the phone. As long as the price of gold does not bring about the butterfly effect due to his rebirth, and can break through the price of 800 US dollars per ounce, then he does not have to worry about the semiconductor industry and the research and development of the biomedical industry that he leads.

Funded.

As long as you have money, whether it is the semiconductor industry or the biomedical industry, I believe you can use money to achieve results.

What's more, regardless of the semiconductor industry, Lin Baicheng still has a lot of confidence in the biomedical industry. It mainly depends on the smart brain he brought after his rebirth. He dare not say that he has developed drugs such as immortality, but drugs that are ahead of his time.

, he still has confidence in researching it.

Changsheng Medical and Biological Company, this is the company specially established by Lin Baicheng for his research. The company has invested 100 million US dollars and is currently recruiting people. It needs to build an advanced research laboratory, purchase advanced instruments, recruit outstanding research talents, etc.

There are quite a few things going on.

Although Lin Baicheng is confident that after studying, he will definitely be the best in the world in terms of biomedicine, but the research of drugs does not happen overnight, but is a long-term work, and requires the assistance of a large number of professional and outstanding talents. One person's research is definitely not the same

Research comes quickly when the team works together.

The ultimate goal of Changsheng Medical Biotechnology Company is to develop drugs that can make people live longer, but Lin Baicheng is not very confident. He only hopes that he can develop drugs that extend human lifespan in his own life, so that he can live a few more years.

Rather than the somewhat unrealistic fantasy of immortality.

The next morning.

Lin Baicheng learned from his personal secretary Chen Huixiang that at 11 o'clock last night in Hong Kong time, a full-scale war broke out between Hongsu and Afghanistan. Hongsu had sent a total of more than 80,000 modern troops, and Afghanistan had no resistance at all.

Because it was too late, Qin Lan did not report to Lin Baicheng specifically.

Stimulated by last night's events, oil prices and gold prices experienced greater increases. Among them, gold prices rose by as much as 7% yesterday, and as expected, they will continue to rise today, and there will be a wave of even greater increases later.

Yesterday, Lin Baicheng made a lot of money.

The investment made by Lin Baicheng and a small circle also made a small profit yesterday, with the average purchase price of 441 US dollars/ounce. Yesterday, the closing price of gold price exceeded 450 US dollars/ounce, and the small profit was a little more than 2%.

With five times leverage, a 2% increase is equivalent to a profit of about 10% of the principal. In other words, if you invest 10 million US dollars, excluding taxes, leverage interest and other expenses, you will make a profit of almost 1 million US dollars, more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars.

.

The most important thing is that there is only one day.

Today is Friday, there will still be transactions in the capital market, gold and oil prices will continue to rise as expected, and Lin Baicheng's investment will continue to make money.

However, this morning, Lin Baicheng went to Hong Kong Electric Group because the shareholders' meeting was held today.

Sydie Schweizer, Henry Kasik, Michael Kadoorie and John Malone all took time to come to HK Electric to attend today's shareholders' meeting.

Because it is a shareholders' meeting, directors who do not hold a certain proportion of shares cannot participate, and even shareholders who hold less than a certain proportion of shares cannot participate in the shareholders' meeting. Therefore, only four people, Lin Baicheng and Yingzi, attended the shareholders' meeting today.

At the beginning of the shareholders' meeting, Lin Baicheng, who led the meeting, canceled the director quotas of the original four directors and then transferred these four director quotas to Yingyao Company.

Yingyao Company's shareholding ratio exceeds 20%, so Lin Baicheng has no way to embarrass the British capital in this regard and can only hand over four directorships to the British capital. Unless one day Yingyao Company's shareholding in Hong Kong Electric Group is lower than

If it reaches 20%, then he can find an opportunity to cancel their director quota and calculate the director seats based on 5% of the director quota.

After that, what Lin Baicheng had to do was to remove Grant and Fred from the board of directors. Only by kicking these two people off the board of directors could he control the board of directors again.
