In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 14 Lin Haoran's Acquisition Target
Companionship is always short-lived.

The next morning, after having breakfast with his parents, Lin Haoran left the Lin family villa and drove to Causeway Bay alone.

In Causeway Bay, Lin Haoran picked up the two brothers Li Weiguo and Li Weidong, and then went to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in Central.

It is worth mentioning that in the 1970s, the structure of Hong Kong's securities market was quite complex and slightly chaotic. The Far East Exchange, the Gold and Silver Exchange, the Kowloon Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange formed a four-legged situation, each occupying a place.

Among these four exchanges, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, as one of the oldest exchanges in Hong Kong and also the most powerful exchange at the time, became the first choice for many British companies to go public, providing these companies with an important financing platform and market opportunities.

Lin Haoran’s target companies are all listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

At 8:30 in the morning, Lin Haoran had already arrived outside the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and met Su Zhixue who was waiting.

In fact, Su Zhixue had already arrived at eight o'clock. As soon as he got home yesterday, he could not contain his excitement and immediately told his wife the good news that the medical expenses had been found.

After hearing this, his wife was so overjoyed that she even shed tears of excitement. She urged Su Zhixue to do his best to do everything for Lin Haoran.

For their family, Lin Haoran was their savior by lending them the medical expenses.

"Mr. Lin, you're here." Seeing Lin Haoran, Su Zhixue greeted him with trepidation.

"Well, just call me Mr. Lin from now on."

"Boss Lin, what should I do?"

"Come with me first. I will arrange for the money you urgently need to be given to you after get off work this afternoon."

"Okay, Mr. Lin, thank you very much."

Lin Haoran did not rush to enter the exchange, but came to a commercial building next to the exchange.

This commercial building rents out small offices, and there are many small offices on one floor.

"How much does it cost to rent an office?" Lin Haoran came to the office responsible for leasing business in the building and asked the staff inside.

"Boss, we have offices ranging from 100 square feet to 2000 square feet. The price is per square foot..."

In the end, Lin Haoran rented a small office of 200 feet, which is less than 20 square meters in area.

He didn't plan to rent a large office. There was no need. This small office was enough.

As for the most important landline phone, there is one here, it’s just shut down. You just need to renew it and you can use it again.

The office has basic office chairs and desks, so there is no need to buy anything extra.

"Zhixue, you will work in this office from now on. Your responsibilities are very clear. As my personal stock trader, your daily work will revolve around collecting stock market information, analyzing data, and executing stock buying and selling operations. In simple terms, I will tell you what stocks to buy, when to buy, and when to sell, and you only need to execute my instructions accurately and without error." Lin Haoran sat in the office chair and said to Su Zhixue with a steady look.

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Su Zhixue felt relieved when he heard this and a look of relief appeared on his face. These jobs were not unfamiliar to him. He had rich experience and enough confidence to be able to do them.

"There is one more important thing. All the work you do here must be kept strictly confidential and must not be disclosed to anyone, including your closest people - your wife and my father. Not a single word can be disclosed." Mr. Lin's words were filled with unquestionable seriousness.

This is the most important point. He doesn't want the news to be leaked when he secretly acquires stocks.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, I will never reveal any information. This is the rule of our industry. If the information is leaked at will, it will be difficult for us to continue in this industry." Su Zhixue promised.

Of course Lin Haoran believed that he could do it. After all, his loyalty level reached 100%. If he couldn't even trust him, then Lin Haoran didn't know who to trust.

"Okay, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is almost open for business now, let's go out." After handing him the office key, Lin Haoran stood up and walked out of the office.

现在，已经是上午九点半了，而香江证券交易所的交易时间为上午9:30至12:00，以及下午13:00至16:00。离开商业大厦之后，几人直奔香江证券交易所的交易大厅而去。

The loan of 50 million Hong Kong dollars has not been approved yet, so he is not in a hurry to make large-scale transactions.

The top priority now is to understand the stock market situation in Hong Kong and his stock market goals.

Lin Haoran now has nearly 200 million Hong Kong dollars in disposable funds. In addition to the 120 million Hong Kong dollars transferred to him by the finance department of Huafeng Cement Factory, he also has hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in his own bank account.

200 million Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount. If there is a good entry opportunity, it can be used to hold on until the loan comes through.

Lin Haoran took Su Zhixue into the stock trading hall. There were not many people in the hall at this time, and the number of retail investors was not much more than the number of traders wearing uniform red vests.

The existence of Hong Kong's four major stock exchanges has undoubtedly dispersed the passenger flow here.

In addition, big investors prefer to keep a low profile and be efficient. They often do not show up in person, but instead give remote commands over the phone, calmly controlling the overall situation of the transaction.

After Lin Haoran walked around the trading hall, he lost interest.

Large transactions do not need to be conducted in the trading hall.

Subsequently, Lin Haoran quickly and carefully registered several stock accounts in his own name. The establishment of these accounts could facilitate his personal investment activities in the stock market.

After finishing the task, Lin Haoran took Su Zhixue out of the stock exchange hall and returned to the office they had just rented.

"Zhixue, please collect the stock market information of Hutchison Whampoa and Qingzhou Yingni for me first. I need it, especially the information of Qingzhou Yingni Company. I need more detailed information." After returning to the office, Lin Haoran gave the order directly.

That’s right, in addition to Hutchison Whampoa, the company he had his eyes on was Qingzhou Cement Company.

As far as he could remember, Li Ka-shing started to acquire Qingzhou Cement after he gave up Wharf Holdings, which should have been in 1978, which was this year. He is not sure whether Li Ka-shing has already started the acquisition plan for Qingzhou Cement.

If the acquisition has not yet started, then for him, this is undoubtedly an opportunity not to be missed.

Lin Haoran was very confident that Li Ka-shing should not have taken any action against Qingzhou Yingni yet, because Cheung Kong Holdings had just given up the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa and the time was still short.

For him at this stage, Qingzhou Yingni is the most suitable investment target.

He bought Wharf Holdings' shares just to make a profit from the price increase. With his current ability, he is not able to acquire a behemoth like Wharf Holdings with a market value of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

He purchased Qingzhou Yingni's shares with the intention of acquiring Qingzhou Yingni.

This company, like Huafeng Cement Plant, also focuses on the production and sales of cement.

What is different is that Qingzhou Yingni is the oldest cement factory in Hong Kong and also the largest cement factory in Hong Kong.

Since he wants to compete with his eldest brother for the inheritance of Wan'an Group, if he takes over the largest cement factory in Hong Kong and becomes the controlling shareholder of this listed company, he will see what his eldest brother Lin Hao Ning can use to compete with him.

Moreover, competition is only secondary. The land held by Qingzhou Yingni is what he values ​​most.

As far as Lin Haoran knows, Qingzhou Yingni not only has a strong business foundation, but also seems to own a large area of ​​coastal land in the urban area. It is precisely because of this that it was later targeted by Li Jiacheng.

The largest source of income for Wan'an Group is real estate, that is to say, Wan'an Group is mainly engaged in real estate industry.

If he takes control of Qingzhou Yingni, then when he becomes the heir of Wan'an Group, Wan'an Group can cooperate with Qingzhou Yingni to jointly develop real estate.
