Chapter 867 Inquiry, Consultation (Two in One)

On the weekend, Iwasaki Mineryu invited Lin Baicheng to play golf, and Lin Baicheng accepted the invitation.

Iwasaki Mineryu only invited Lin Baicheng and no one else this time, so the two of them were only accompanied by their respective secretaries.

The two chatted while playing golf.

The two of them are businessmen, and they mainly talk about business topics. They will inevitably talk about the companies they cooperate with.

"Lin Jun, you are so kind to Miss Yamaguchi and Miss Matsuda, you actually gave them so many shares."

The financing of Baihuifeng Co., Ltd. has been completed a long time ago. As the company's major shareholder, Iwasaki Mineryu is certainly aware of the changes in the company's shares.

After the financing, the shareholding ratios of several shareholders were reduced, but there was an additional shareholder, Matsuda Seiko, and her shareholding happened to be 15% of the shares financed by Lin Baicheng. You don't need to think about it to know that it was Lin Baicheng who gave it to Matsuda Seiko. .

Not only Matsuda Seiko, but also Yamaguchi Momoe held 20% of the shares when the company was established. Iwasaki Mineryu believed that the money invested by Yamaguchi Momoe must have been given by Lin Baicheng.

Yamaguchi Momoe was introduced to Lin Baicheng by Iwasaki Mineryu. Iwasaki Mineryu was very clear about her situation at that time. Because of her biological father, she basically had no money left. At that time, Yamaguchi Momoe invested 1 billion yen to establish the company. There is no 200 million yen to subscribe for 20% of the shares.

Iwasaki Mineryu admitted that Yamaguchi Momoe and Matsuda Seiko were both rare and beautiful women, but giving them so much money for free, Iwasaki Mineryu still thought it was too much. Lin Baicheng had no need to give them so much, and would give them a few Millions of yen can be easily spent.

Lin Baicheng smiled: "Since they followed me and devoted their youth, I naturally have no reason to treat them poorly."

"Jun Lin is still very grand."

Iwasaki Mineryu praised and gave a thumbs up.

Lin Baicheng smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Iwasaki for your help, allowing me to successfully complete the financing."

In fact, with the shareholding ratio of Lin Baicheng and Yamaguchi Momoe, it is difficult for Iwasaki Mineryu to stop the company from financing. At most, he can make some fuss about the financing price, but the two are 'friends', so of course there is no need for this. .

Iwasaki Mineryu was willing to be accommodating, so Lin Baicheng should still thank him.

"Mr. Lin, you're welcome."

Hearing this, Mineryu Iwasaki said: "You invited me to co-found this company, Mr. Lin. Compared with the investment at that time, the company's current valuation has increased five times. I have made a lot of money. Really? Speaking of which, I should be the one thanking Mr. Lin for making me rich. "

“There is endless money to be made, let’s make a fortune together.”

Iwasaki Mineryu is a local snake, and Lin Baicheng's connections in Japan are average, especially in the entertainment industry. Without the help of Iwasaki Mineryu, the establishment of Bai Huifeng Co., Ltd. would not have developed to its current level. Therefore, this company cannot say that Lin Baicheng led Iwasaki Mineryu to make a fortune. Iwasaki Mineryu has a share of the credit for the company's success.

Not to mention anything else, the reason why Yamaguchi Momoe was able to successfully transfer to Baihuine Co., Ltd., Sony Music did not try its best to stop it, nor did it suppress Yamaguchi Momoe or Baihuine Co., Ltd. afterwards, was entirely because of Iwasaki Mineryu. people.

Without Iwasaki Mineryu, it would not be that easy to transfer Yamaguchi Momoe, a cash cow, to Momoe Co., Ltd. smoothly.

"Speaking of which."

Iwasaki Mineryu said: "Lin Jun, what did Mr. Claure come to Xiangjiang a while ago? He left Xiangjiang in a hurry. Lin Jun, do you have any other projects to cooperate on?"

"Um?"

Lin Baicheng glanced at Iwasaki Mineryu after hearing this, and thought to himself, no wonder, no wonder he was specially invited to play golf today. He originally thought it was just for playing golf, but now it seems that is not the case. Iwasaki Mineryu had another purpose. Find out if Claure Rockefeller came to Xiangjiang to have any cooperation with him, maybe he wants to get a piece of the pie.

"Jun Lin, if you have any cooperation, please take me with you and let me make a little fortune with you."

Iwasaki Mineryu revealed his fox tail, and he didn't think about hiding it. He invited Lin Baicheng to play alone in order to chat with Lin Baicheng alone and see if there were any opportunities for cooperation.

"If there is a suitable cooperation project, I will definitely not forget you, Iwasaki-kun. We are friends."

Lin Baicheng promised that Iwasaki Mineryu was Lin Baicheng's network guarantee in Japan. With Iwasaki Mineryu here, it would be much easier for Lin Baicheng to do business in Japan.

No matter what, Japan's economy has always been very good. Even after the real estate crash, its economy was hit hard, but compared with most countries in the world, its economy is still at the forefront, so doing business in Japan is still very promising.

In this way, Lin Baicheng naturally does not want to lose Iwasaki Mineryu as an important partner. If there is a suitable opportunity to make a fortune, he will bring Iwasaki Mineryu along to maintain the friendly relationship between the two.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for taking care of me."

Iwasaki Mineryu immediately thanked him.

"Iwasaki-kun, you're welcome."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand and said: "Klauer came to Xiangjiang a while ago, not to discuss any cooperation with me, but because there is something going on at Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Company, and he, as a shareholder, needs to come over."

"So this is ah."

Iwasaki Mineryu didn't think Lin Baicheng would lie to him, and even if Lin Baicheng lied to him, there was nothing he could do.

"I remember this company. Mr. Lin, you invested a very large amount of money. It seems that you invested US$500 million, right?"

When Lin Baicheng first established this company, he also asked Iwasaki Mineryu if he wanted to invest. After Iwasaki Mineryu learned what Changsheng Medical and Biotechnology Company did, he backed down and did not want to spend money in vain.

The main reason is that the investment is too big, otherwise even if it is a very unreliable project, in order to continue to make money with Lin Baicheng, Iwasaki Mineryu doesn't mind spending a small amount of money to waste it. He can still afford to lose a few million dollars.

But the problem is that Lin Baicheng's plan for Changsheng Medical and Biological Company is to invest 500 million US dollars. Even if he invests 5 million US dollars, it will only be 1% of the shares. The proportion is too small and has no meaning. It is useless to say that 5 million US dollars is wasted. Not even heartbroken to death.

Lin Baicheng said: "The total investment in this company is US$500 million. Claure invested US$10 million and I personally invested US$490 million."

"$490 million and $500 million are about the same."

Iwasaki Mineryu shook his head and said: "Mr. Claure holds 2% of the shares, which is not a large proportion."

"Clauer has invested a lot."

Lin Baicheng had a different view: "In fact, I did not expect that the investment in Changsheng Pharmaceutical Biological Company would bring me financial returns. I was already prepared for all losses. Before the investment, I also talked with Claure Having said that, under such circumstances, Claure is still willing to invest US$10 million, which is quite courageous.”

Ten million US dollars in this era is not a small amount. If you use it to buy real estate or property in Xiangjiang and leave it untouched, after the 21st century, it should be worth a hundred times.

"That's true."

Iwasaki Mineryu nodded in agreement, but he was thinking in his heart that Claure Rockefeller and Lin Baicheng had just met at that time. If you want to get Lin Baicheng's approval, you can't do it without a certain amount of effort. Investing in the longevity pharmaceutical and biological company is Claure... Rockefeller's contribution.

It can only be said that in order to truly get to know Lin Baicheng and become a business partner with Lin Baicheng, Claure Rockefeller was willing to pay 10 million US dollars in advance, which was considered an investment, which shows his courage and foresight.

One thing Iwasaki Mineryu is sure of is that after Claure Rockefeller and Lin Baicheng became partners, all business cooperation with Lin Baicheng has been generally profitable so far. It is just a matter of making more or less. Even in The US$10 million investment in Changsheng Medical and Biological Company was in vain, but Claure Rockefeller still made no loss.

"Jun Lin, what happened to Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company? Otherwise, why would you ask Mr. Claure, a small shareholder, to come here in person? If there is anything I can do to help, please tell me and I will do my best."

"Thank you, Iwasaki-kun, but I don't need any help at the moment."

Lin Baicheng thanked him and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the company has made some small progress in research and development. The follow-up research and development needs Claure's cooperation, so I asked him to come over and take a look at the research and development results so that he can have an idea."

"So this is ah!"

Iwasaki Mineryu suddenly understood, and then asked curiously: "Lin Jun, what you call progress, could it be that there is progress in extending human lifespan and enhancing human body quality, right?"

He thought it was unlikely. How could such obviously fantasy research and development make progress so quickly? A little progress in one or two decades would already be extraordinary.

Of course, if there is really progress in the research and development of these, it would be terrible. Changsheng Medical and Biological Company will inevitably take off, and before taking off, Iwasaki Mineryu is very happy to take a ride.

"Of course it's impossible, Iwasaki-kun, don't think too much. Extending human life span is a long-term goal. How can there be progress now?"

Lin Baicheng was quite speechless: "It's just a small progress in research and development. It's hard to say whether there will be follow-up. I called Claure to Xiangjiang in advance. It's just that the follow-up research and development requires his cooperation, that's all."

"I believe you will definitely succeed, Mr. Lin." Iwasaki Mineryu said.

"I'll lend you some good words."

Lin Baicheng smiled and continued playing.

Iwasaki Mineryu didn't say anything when he saw this, and played golf with Lin Baicheng.

After the meeting, Iwasaki Mineryu looked for words and said: "Lin Jun, I want to ask you something."

"you say."

Lin Baicheng nodded.

Mineryu Iwasaki said: "I would like to ask, does Apple still have investment value now?"

"Iwasaki-kun, why did you suddenly think of investing in this company?"

Lin Baicheng was a little confused. Apple is a company in the United States, and the current Apple is not as famous as it would be a few decades ago. Iwasaki Mineryu was not a shareholder of the company before, so he should not know much about this company. , why do you suddenly want to invest in this company?

"I saw from Hutchison Whampoa's financial report that Hutchison Whampoa holds 3% of Apple's shares. This company just went public not long ago. I know that Hutchison Whampoa's holding of shares in this company must be what you mean, Mr. Lin. , Mr. Lin, you should also hold shares in this company. Since it is a company that you are optimistic about, Mr. Lin, there is no reason why I should not invest, so I investigated it specifically." Iwasaki Mineryu explained.

"I see."

Lin Baicheng nodded, looked at Iwasaki Mineryu and said: "Since Iwasaki-kun, you have specifically investigated Apple, you should know that this company's main personal computer business is currently facing the impact of the giant IBM. It is precisely because of this , although the company is listed, its market value is not very high. As long as the capital market has this concern, it is worried that the fledgling Apple cannot compete with IBM.”

Apple was listed at the end of last year. Because its main business faces competition from the giant IBM, the price-to-earnings ratio is not high. It was listed with a market value of US$600 million. The increase after the listing was not large. Fortunately, it did not fall. It is a blessing among misfortunes. . The main reason is that the company's current performance is very good. In the competition with IBM, it may be defeated, but it is not certain that it will be defeated. Therefore, the stock price will not fall significantly before the performance deteriorates.

It's just that Apple's lifting of the ban will expire in a while. It's hard to say whether major shareholders will reduce their holdings and sell shares in large quantities, causing the stock price to plummet.

"Jun Lin, are you still optimistic about this company?"

Iwasaki Mineryu asked. He didn't care whether others thought well of him or not. The point was whether Lin Baicheng thought well of him or not.

"I can only say give it a try."

Lin Baicheng said: "I invested in Apple from the beginning. After two rounds of financing and listing, although my shares were diluted a lot, the value increased significantly. No matter what, I will not lose money on my investment. Hutchison The shares held by Huangpu have been raised for the second time, and their value has doubled, so they can take another one. This investment will not be a loss until Apple’s stock price is cut in half.”

"Therefore, whether it is my personal investment or Hutchison Whampoa's shareholding, I will continue to hold it for the time being, because the cost of holding shares on both sides is low. Even if Apple's stock price will fall in the future, the investment on both sides can afford to fall, and it is not easy to lose money. "

"However, Iwasaki-kun, if you want to invest in Apple now, you should think about it carefully. There is a possibility that Apple cannot compete with IBM. This possibility is not even small. Once this happens, the company's performance will definitely be It will be squeezed and the stock price will plummet."

"Of course, if Apple maintains its market share in the competition with IBM and stabilizes its revenue or its revenue increases significantly, then it is inevitable that the company's stock price will rise sharply."

"So, if you invest in Apple now, you may make a lot of money or lose a lot of money. You need to think carefully about it, Iwasaki-kun. I can't give you specific advice."

Lin Baicheng was really not sure whether Apple could develop as well as it did before his rebirth, so although he did not reduce his shares in Apple, he did not secretly increase his holdings, choosing to take a gamble with his existing shares. If you are wrong, it is just that the money you make is not pocketed, but losing money should not be a problem.

To put it mildly, if Apple is really defeated, it will not be a bad thing for Lin Baicheng. He can definitely find a way to acquire the fallen Apple and pocket Apple's technology.
