Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 717 Negotiation (two in one)

Today is Sunday, a day off.

Lin Baicheng didn't go to various companies. After sending Mao Liqingzi away from Xiangjiang, he went to find Zhong Chuhong. Guan Zhilin and Guan Meiren were now in Los Angeles, and the only one he could find besides Zhong Chuhong was Zhao Yazhi.

The relationship between Zhao Yazhi and Lin Baicheng was not very deep, and he could not even guarantee whether Zhao Yazhi had feelings for him.

Therefore, if he chooses between two women, Lin Baicheng will definitely spend more time with Zhong Chuhong.

Zhong Chuhong stopped filming after she decided to develop into management. Lin Baicheng arranged for her to enter Xiangjiang University, and she began to study like a freshman. At the same time, in order to let Zhong Chuhong keep up with the progress, he also arranged for Zhong Chuhong to have a tutor.

Special counseling.

He has classes on weekdays and tutoring on weekends. Speaking of which, Zhong Chuhong studies very hard. No matter how well he studies, this hard-working spirit is worthy of recognition.

When tutoring was provided, Zhong Chuhong took classes in the villa given to her by Lin Baicheng. Her home was too small and it was inconvenient for the tutor to attend classes at home.

When Lin Baicheng went over to the villa, Zhong Chuhong was in class. He didn't tell Zhong Chuhong in advance before coming over, so Zhong Chuhong was a little surprised.

"Cheng, why didn't you tell me when you came here?"

Zhong Chuhong, who was studying, couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Lin Baicheng arriving.

"Isn't this a surprise for you?"

Lin Baicheng hugged Zhong Chuhong as he came with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lin!"

The tutor greeted Lin Baicheng respectfully.

Lin Baicheng said to the female teacher: "There will be no class today. Teacher Chen should go back first."

"Teacher Chen, your trip today was in vain."

It's rare that Lin Baicheng has time to spend with himself, and Zhong Chuhong certainly won't give up this great opportunity just because he wants to study.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Zhong, I'll take my leave now."

Teacher Chen responded. Of course she knew about the relationship between Lin Baicheng and Zhong Chuhong, but her high income made her sign a confidentiality agreement. If the relationship between Lin Baicheng and Zhong Chuhong was leaked from her, the compensation would be something she would never be able to afford in her lifetime. Therefore,

She didn't even dare to reveal this to her family.

Teacher Chen left, but Lin Baicheng and Zhong Chuhong did not send her out specifically.

Zhong Chuhong held Lin Baicheng's arm and said to him: "You came back yesterday. Have you finished handling your business?"

"How is that possible?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this: "Basically, I haven't started dealing with official matters yet. These two days are weekends, and I will start dealing with various companies' matters tomorrow and Monday."

Zhong Chuhong said with concern: "A lot of things happened during the time you left Xiangjiang. Will there be any problems?"

"fine."

Lin Baicheng smiled with relief: "If something is really going on, there is already news flying all over the sky outside. The ban on sales in the Bay Island has a little impact on my business, but the impact is not big, as long as it is in London

If Downing Street or the Hong Kong government did not suppress me, there would be no problems with my business."

In fact, even if the British fully suppress Lin Baicheng, Lin Baicheng will not be unable to do any business. Business in the United States and Japan can still be done as usual. Businesses in other countries can still hope to open up markets as long as they are willing to spend money and energy to develop markets.

.

However, if there is a situation of comprehensive British suppression, then Lin Baicheng's losses will be too heavy. Not only the current financial losses, but also related to the future.

Taking the most direct example of the semiconductor industry, if the British did not suppress it, Lin Baicheng could develop the semiconductor industry in Xiangjiang. However, if the British suppressed it, it would be basically impossible for Lin Baicheng to develop the semiconductor industry.

Even if it can develop, the semiconductor industry is in other countries. When the semiconductor industry becomes more and more important, even if Lin Baicheng, the company controller, wants to transfer the semiconductor company's technology to China, it will not be an easy task.

And if you cannot obtain relevant technologies in the semiconductor industry, even if you can develop related companies and make some money through it, it will not make much sense. Technology patents are the most important.

"When you say that, I feel relieved."

Zhong Chuhong knew that there was nothing she could do now. The only thing she could do was to pray for Lin Baicheng.

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

Lin Baicheng changed the subject and said, "Are you keeping up with your recent studies?"

"Somewhat reluctantly."

Zhong Chuhong shook her head. This was the result of hiring a tutor for private tutoring. Without tutoring, it would only be more difficult for her to learn alone.

"Take your time, don't rush."

Lin Baicheng expressed relief and said: "The most important thing is perseverance. As long as you persist this afternoon, I believe you will succeed in your studies sooner or later."

"Well, don't worry, Cheng, I will persist!"

Zhong Chuhong nodded heavily. Since she had decided to develop into management, she would study hard. This hardship was nothing compared to her previous job, and many people even envied her.

"Come on! I believe in you!"

A motivated woman is definitely more attractive. Lin Baicheng certainly hopes that Zhong Chuhong will be motivated and not give up halfway.

Of course, Lin Baicheng also likes people like Guan Zhilin who only cares about playing all day long and only cares about her beauty. Who makes Guan Meiren so beautiful? She is so beautiful that people can't extricate themselves.

During the day, Lin Baicheng stayed with Zhong Chuhong.

…

night.

Hutchison Hotel, where Lin Baicheng held a dinner to entertain dignitaries of the Hong Kong government.

Governor Malihose was also included in the reception, and he was even the focus of the reception. After all, he had the highest status in the Hong Kong government, and many important officials in the Hong Kong government were appointed by him.

This is Xiangjiang, which is a colony for the British. Unlike the Prime Minister who is constrained by Parliament in London, the Governor has great power in Xiangjiang and has few constraints.

Lin Baicheng had a special chat with Mai Lihao.

"Lin Sheng, you are not going to London?"

Maliho frowned slightly, but Lin Baicheng had just told Maliho that he would not go to London to sign the contract due to the successful transaction between Hutchison Whampoa and Rolls-Royce.

Lin Baicheng nodded: "I will ask my sister to go there on my behalf, and I will also send the director of the secretariat to assist me in my work, together with Wei Li, Hutchison's top class, they will be responsible for signing the contract."

Maliho couldn't help but said: "Lin Sheng, that's different. You are the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa. Without you, the importance of this signing ceremony would have been lower."

"Although that's true, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. Anyway, Hutchison Whampoa's investment will not be less."

Lin Baicheng paused as he spoke and continued: "Sir, Hutchison Whampoa's investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in England will not be treated differently, right? I am the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, and I am responsible for Hutchison Whampoa's shareholders.

If Hutchison Whampoa's investment in England goes wrong at the official level, then I would be very sorry for the other shareholders."

Maliho solemnly assured: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, there is absolutely no problem with Hutchison's investment in England. As long as Hutchison abides by the law, there is absolutely no need to worry about pressure from the official level."

"Don't worry? It's hard for me to feel relieved."

Lin Baicheng said with emotion: "What happened a few days ago made me very worried."

"Lin Sheng, you should know that there are people behind what happened a few days ago. This is normal business competition and cannot be avoided." Mailihao knew what Lin Baicheng meant.

"Who can say for sure?"

Lin Baicheng shook his head: "Now that Hutchison Whampoa has invested in England, it is too late to regret it. I just hope that my worries will not come true."

"No."

Mailihao said thoughtfully: "Lin Sheng, you suddenly decided not to go to London, but because of this concern?"

"Sir, we are friends, so I will tell you the truth."

Lin Baicheng expressed his sincerity: "I am very worried that I will not be able to come back after going to London. Although this possibility may not be high, what happened in Xiangjiang a few days ago makes me very worried. For safety reasons, London

I'd better not go."

Hearing this, Mailihao shook his head helplessly and said solemnly: "Lin Sheng, your worries are completely unnecessary. What you are worried about will never happen. Please believe me on this."

Lin Baicheng just smiled and said: "Sir, I have decided that I will not go to the British side until the return of Xiangjiang is confirmed. I will look for opportunities to go there after the results of the negotiations between China and Britain on the ownership of Xiangjiang come out.

It won’t be too late for England. No matter what the outcome of the negotiation is, it won’t have any impact on me, don’t you think?”

Mailihao sighed: "Lin Sheng, you are really too careful."

"Sir, be careful and you won't make a mistake."

Lin Baicheng, however, didn't take it seriously. He said: "Sir, as a friend, I think you don't want anything to happen to me, right. As long as I'm fine, with our 'friendship', we can help each other and get what we need."

"That's what Lin Sheng said."

Mailihao nodded slightly, it would be more beneficial for him if nothing happened to Lin Baicheng.

Not to mention that he has a sum of funds for Lin Baicheng to help manage. Lin Baicheng can help him earn clean Hong Kong dollars, which is a benefit; Lin Baicheng's career is so big and his influence in England is greatly enhanced. When he returns to England

If he takes up the position, Lin Baicheng will be able to help him reach a higher level.

Lin Baicheng said meaningfully: "Sir, I was targeted by some people a few days ago. If I don't fight back, I will only be considered easy to bully, so."

"Lin Sheng, what do you want to do?"

Mailihao was not surprised when he heard this. If Lin Baicheng did not retaliate and had no reaction at all, then he would be surprised.

"Let them leave Xiangjiang, Sir, what do you think?"

Lin Baicheng has never thought about sending those people to prison or humanely annihilating them. It is unlikely that MacLehose will agree to this, and if he does that, it will only make other people share the same hatred. After all, most of the important officials in the Hong Kong government are

white people.

"Lin Sheng, there is no need to go to this step, right?"

MacLehose couldn't help but frown slightly. Even if the senior officials of the Hong Kong government were not his cronies, they still listened to him. Now, at best, they would be transferred back to London, at worst, they would be driven away from Hong Kong.

It will somewhat affect his prestige.

"Sir, it's just you and me here. I'll tell you what's on my mind."

Lin Baicheng said sincerely: "You will be transferred back to London in a few years. No matter where Xiangjiang belongs to in the future, there will definitely be no change before 1997, so I also hope that I have some connections in London.

I hope that when you return to London you will be able to move into a high position, which will also be good for me."

"If I can be better and stronger, I can invest more in London and have more energy. Then I can be of help to the Jazz when you need it."

"So Sir, helping me is not a bad thing for you, but a good thing, don't you think?"

"Lin Sheng, what you are saying is that you are stronger, which is good for you and me."

Mailihao couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard this. He made friends with Lin Baicheng not only because Lin Baicheng could bring him huge benefits, but also because of this consideration.

Over in London, it was certainly not that MacLehose had no connections at all, but those were political connections and did not have enough capital support. Lin Baicheng had strong financial resources, so this aspect was particularly important to him.

Lin Baicheng said: "Sir, I know you don't want to offend those British capital for no reason. This will not do you any good, and I will not make it difficult for you. I can handle the counterattack myself. I just need you not to be biased when the time comes."

Help, just transfer people back to London as the situation arises."

Mailihao immediately said: "Look at what you said, Lin Sheng, how could I be biased? Our relationship is much better than theirs. If I want to be biased, I am also biasing Lin Sheng."

"That's natural. I believe in Sir."

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded, seeing through but not telling the truth.

"I will still need Lin Sheng's support when the time comes."

Mailihao said with a smile, but he acquiesced to Lin Baicheng's previous request. When the time comes, he will not favor the person Lin Baicheng wants to deal with.

Lin Baicheng said very happily: "No, we should help each other. There are times when I need Jazz's support."

"Yes, help each other!"

MacLehose was very satisfied after hearing this. Although in the system of Western countries, politicians usually listen to capital, some politicians will not completely obey capital although they can use capital, and those politicians who have reached high positions will not

Listening to the call of capital means that at best they are using each other, and there is no question of who is bossing whom.

"Come on Sir, let's go talk to the others."

Seeing that he and Mai Lihao had reached an agreement, Lin Baicheng immediately asked Mai Lihao to go and chat with other people. It was not good to just keep chatting with the two of them.

Of course, MacLehose would not refuse. The people invited to the party tonight are all important officials of the Hong Kong government. MacLehose has the highest status among them all, and he also knows all the guests.

At tonight's party, Lin Baicheng mainly wants to reach an agreement with Mai Lihao. Without Mai Lihao's support or acquiescence, Lin Baicheng cannot drive people away. Even if he causes trouble behind his back, he will only offend Mai Lihao and others for no reason.

There is no need for important officials of the Hong Kong government.

Now that he has reached an agreement with Mailihao, although Lin Baicheng still has to deal with those people on his own, as long as he can do it, there will be no future troubles, and that is enough.

After the party, Lin Baicheng did not go home, but went to the villa where Zhong Chuhong lived. Zhong Chuhong was also here tonight. She was waiting for Lin Baicheng to come over. This was what the two had agreed to during the day.
