In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 141: Amigo Earns Nearly Million Hong Kong Dollars

Obviously, there must be something wrong with the CFO's sudden low loyalty.

As long as you investigate, the truth will be easily revealed.

Therefore, Lin Haoran had planned to find someone to investigate after the meeting was over.

The meeting didn't last long. It just covered some recent key issues, things that each department needed to pay attention to, and the directors of each department reported on their work progress.

The executive meeting ended in just about half an hour.

"Mr. Burton, come with me to my office." Lin Haoran said to Burton before leaving the meeting room.

"Okay, boss." Burton agreed.

The two left the meeting room one after another and returned to Lin Haoran's office.

"Mr. Burton, have you noticed any problems with the company's expenses recently?" Lin Haoran asked directly.

"Expenditures? Boss, I have basically approved all the expenditures, and there is no problem. If there were any problems, I would have reported them to you long ago." Burton answered with some confusion.

"Then, Mr. Maka, the financial director, have you noticed any strange behavior from him recently?" Lin Haoran continued to ask.

Judging from Burton's loyalty, there is absolutely no problem with him. His loyalty has remained stable at 89 since a few months ago.

This level of loyalty is considered relatively high among his many subordinates.

Although the loyalty golden finger brought by this time travel is not very useful in normal times, it can be very useful sometimes.

"Boss, I have reviewed the monthly financial statements of the Finance Department and did not find any problems. As for Mr. Maca, I did not notice any actions from him, but I heard rumors that he was planning to buy a house in Tsim Sha Tsui and had been visiting properties frequently recently. However, this is his private matter and I have no right to interfere." Burton answered truthfully.

Lin Haoran nodded, becoming more and more certain that there was something wrong with this financial director.

Although it is not surprising that a company executive like a financial director can buy a property in a location like Tsim Sha Tsui with his salary, this is too much of a coincidence. The loyalty here has just decreased, and the other side is planning to buy a house. There must be a problem.

At least, up to now, there has been no mistake in loyalty, and he still has great trust in this golden finger. Since the loyalty has suddenly dropped so much, there must be a problem.

Lin Haoran had not done anything to make him hate Maca. He even chatted with Mr. Maca very rarely. It was obviously impossible that his loyalty to him would decrease because he offended the other party.

There is only one possibility, that is, Maka did something disloyal to Qingzhou Yingni Company.

"Don't tell anyone what I just asked you. Just pretend it never happened, okay?" Lin Haoran said seriously.

"Don't worry, boss." Burton nodded.

"Well, there's nothing to do. You can go and do your work first. By the way, ask the financial director to move this year's account books to me so I can take a look through them." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

It is normal for the chairman to look through the financial books.

"Okay, boss. I'll go down first." Although Burton felt a little strange about the boss's question, he did not ask any more questions.

At the same time, he was thinking to himself, "Could it be that the CFO did something recently that the boss discovered?"

But after thinking about it, he couldn't find anything wrong with Mr. Maka.

Of course, Burton knew that he was not a professional in finance, and it would be difficult for him to discover small financial loopholes.

Without thinking any more, Burton quickly left Lin Haoran's office.

Ten minutes later, Financial Director Maka came to Lin Haoran's office with a thick stack of account books.

"Mr. Chairman, the account books you requested are all here." Maka put the account books on the table and said respectfully.

From his actions, he didn't seem nervous at all.

"Well, thank you for your help, Mr. Maka." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"Of course I am. It's alright, I'll leave first. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime, Mr. Lin." After saying that, Maka left the office.

Watching the financial director leave, Lin Haoran once again turned his attention to the account books in front of him.

Of course he didn't check it himself. He only had a superficial understanding of financial knowledge. He would not be able to see anything if he looked at it.

However, he could ask the financial director of Wan'an Group to bring two people over for inspection.

There is not much work in the Finance Department of Wan'an Group nowadays. Except for the beginning and end of the month, it is generally quite idle at other times.

I called them and they responded quickly, saying they would be here within an hour.

Although Wan'an Group is still a listed company, the group's executives basically obey the arrangements of the chairman. Even if they are asked to do some work unrelated to Wan'an Group, they will not disobey the chairman's wishes. After all, unless they don't want to work in the group anymore.

Moreover, small matters like checking accounts are not difficult for professionals like them.

About forty minutes later, the financial director of Wan'an Group appeared in Lin Haoran's office.

This was not their first time here. The last time they came was on the day Lin Haoran moved into Qingzhou Yingni Company.

Now, in the blink of an eye, more than eight months have passed.

"Please help me check if there are any problems with these accounts. I'm going to be out for a while and will be back in about two hours. If you have checked the accounts in advance, you can call me on my pager." Lin Haoran pointed to the account book on the table and said to the three people who came over.

"Boss, please rest assured. We will check the accounts carefully and contact you immediately if there are any questions." The financial director of Wan'an Group said with a smile.

At this moment, in the Finance Department office on another floor, Maka was still wondering why his boss suddenly wanted to check the accounts.

However, when I thought about how I had done things so secretly, even if a professional checked the accounts, they wouldn't be able to find any problems, so it was impossible to be discovered, so I felt relieved.

Lin Haoran left Qingzhou Yingni Company with his bodyguards. While the financial staff of Wan'an Group were checking the accounts, he couldn't stay here all the time. So, he simply went to Aimego Company first.

As for who will be the new financial director of Qingzhou Yingni Company, there is no rush for the time being. He already has a goal. At least what he needs to do now is to find out what the current financial director Maka has done to harm the interests of the company.

Today, the development of Aigo has already exceeded imagination.

Even Liu Luanxiong, the company's general manager, was shocked by the scale of Aigo's development.

Today, Liu Luanxiong is very glad that he decided to accept Lin Haoran's investment.

In his opinion, if Aimego Company had not accepted Lin Haoran's investment in the beginning, it might still be a small workshop now.

In fact, he was overthinking it. Even without Lin Haoran's investment, Aimego Company would have developed very rapidly.

But compared with the current Aigo company, there is definitely still a gap, after all, the starting point is different.

It only took about twenty minutes to get from Ching Chau Cement Company to Aigo Company, and then we arrived at the Kwun Tong Industrial Park.

The car stopped downstairs of the industrial building. Lin Haoran examined the six-story industrial building in front of him, on which the five large golden characters "Aimego Company" were already pasted.

These five big golden characters are also posted on the industrial building next door.

Today, in order to cope with the increasing number of orders, Aimego has doubled its factory space again and has also directly rented the industrial building next door.

The number of employees has almost doubled without anyone noticing, and it can be regarded as a giant manufacturing company in the entire Hong Kong manufacturing industry.

It can be said that 80% of the employees in the entire industrial park are now employed by Aigo, and there are almost no employees from other tenants.

In November last year, Aimego Company only rented one floor and had more than 11 employees.

In just 8 months, you can imagine how much has changed.

The boss of the industrial park has noticed these changes, but he already knew it when the business opened that one of the bosses of Aimego Company is Lin Haoran, chairman of Qingzhou Yingni Company. In the opinion of this park boss, the rapid development of Aimego Company must be due to Lin Haoran, not Liu Luanxiong.

As the chairman of two listed companies, isn't it normal for him to open a manufacturing company of such a large scale?

Walking into the first rented industrial building, Lin Haoran went straight to the office on the third floor.

Passing by the production areas on the first and second floors, it was obvious that they were both very busy.

In the general manager's office on the third floor, Liu Luanxiong was calculating with a calculator.

Seeing Lin Haoran coming over, he continued to calculate and said, "Haoran, wait a minute. I'm calculating the number of orders coming in and planning the daily production targets. It will be done soon."

Lin Haoran nodded and did not disturb him. Instead, he came to the sofa in the negotiation room, made tea for himself, and then poured himself a cup of tea.

Not long after, Liu Luanxiong also came over.

Liu Luanxiong sat opposite Lin Haoran, and Lin Haoran also poured him a cup of tea.

"Thank you for your hard work. I see you've lost a lot of weight." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"This is nothing. Seeing the money coming into the company's account every month, I'm full of motivation. By the way, let me tell you a good news. According to the current exchange rate, the funds in our company's account are about to exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Currently, the company has more than 97 million Hong Kong dollars in its account. If we receive another payment for goods, it will basically exceed this amount. Tomorrow, a distributor in Toronto will transfer the payment!" Liu Luanxiong was excited when talking about money.

One hundred million Hong Kong dollars, this may be an ordinary number, but even Liu Luanxiong, who grew up in a wealthy family, could not contain his excitement.

Who would have thought that a year and a half ago, when he had just founded the Aigo company, he had difficulty coming up with even tens of thousands of dollars, and even those tens of thousands of dollars for starting a business were borrowed from friends.

In just the past year and a half, the company he founded, Aimego, has made a profit of up to HK$100 million.

Aimego has been expanding during this period, and has not even distributed the profits it earned as dividends.

Lin Haoran naturally knew about the funds in the Aigo company account, and he would come here every once in a while.

Lin Haoran drank a cup of tea, frowned, and said, "Take out some of the funds and divide them up. It's a waste to keep them in the company's account."

Half of the funds in Aigo's account were earned from May to June, which shows how crazy the fan market is this summer.

And in the coming July, August, September and even October, if nothing unexpected happens, the order volume will be crazy.

They just want to take advantage of the summer and autumn to make a fortune.

When winter comes, orders will drop sharply again, and only after April next year will the order volume explode again.

After 1981, Lin Haoran realized that the fan market in North America had begun to become saturated. At that time, for Lin Haoran, the industry had begun to decline, and Aigo was no longer important.

"Okay, it's time to divide the money. But Haoran, I have a suggestion. Why don't we first buy a piece of industrial land in Kwun Tong and build our own industrial park? Ten million Hong Kong dollars will be enough to buy a large piece of land. Then we can build an industrial park as large as the one we are in now." Liu Luanxiong said.

At this moment, he is full of hope for the future. Today's Aigo Company has already surpassed the family business founded by his father and has much more profit.

If Aigo continues to develop, he believes that sooner or later, Aigo will become the top manufacturing company in Hong Kong.

"Okay, I agree with this. Also, Axiong, let me remind you that you suddenly have such a large amount of funds, and you probably don't know what to do with it. I have a suggestion for you. You can use it to buy houses and land while the housing prices are rising so fast. You won't lose money." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

This time, each of them can get tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. It would be a huge loss if this money was thrown directly into the bank.

Today, it is only July 1979, and the Hong Kong real estate market is still in the stage of wild growth. Even if housing prices fall sharply in two years, they will not fall back to the current price.

So, this reminder can be regarded as a thank you to Liu Luanxiong for helping him make so much money.

"Haoran, if you hadn't mentioned this matter, I really hadn't thought about how to spend this money. I was really planning to just deposit it directly into the bank. Okay, I'll listen to you and buy a house and land." Liu Luanxiong laughed.

Now, he has devoted all his body and mind to Aigo Company and has no time to care about other things.
