In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 145 Hong Kong Electric Group Gossip

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Haoran met Huo Jianning in the chairman's office of Qingzhou Yingni Company.

At this moment, Huo Jianning was dressed very formally in a suit and tie.

In the office, in addition to Lin Haoran and Huo Jianning, General Manager Burton also came.

"Mr. Huo, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Burton, the general manager of our Qingzhou Yingni Company. He is a very outstanding business manager and you can learn some management experience from him." Mr. Lin Haoran introduced Burton to Huo Jianning.

As for Burton, after Lin Haoran received Huo Jianning's call, he had already told him about Huo Jianning's situation, so there is naturally no need to introduce more now.

After Burton and Huo Jianning greeted each other, Burton also told Huo Jianning about the current situation of Qingzhou Yingni Company.

Huo Jianning was very surprised to learn that Qingzhou Cement Company has now begun to go international and has achieved good results, successively taking over parts of the market in the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries.

He has known the brand of Qingzhou Cement Company since he was a child, but he also knew that Qingzhou Cement Company actually only dominated the markets in Hong Kong and Macau. Places like the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and other places all have their own cement brands, and he has never heard of any news that Qingzhou Cement Company has entered the Nanyang market.

Unexpectedly, Qingzhou Yingni has developed so well nowadays.

At this moment, he realized that Qingzhou Yingni was not as simple as it seemed.

The annual profit is tens of millions, but the total stock market value was only more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars before?

This is totally underestimated!
Look at those listed companies that can make tens of millions of profits a year. Which one of them does not have a market value of more than 400 to 500 million? Some are even more outrageous.

Seeing Huo Jianning's surprised expression when he learned about the company's profit situation, Burton smiled and explained, "In previous years, the annual profit of Qingzhou Yingni Company was only a few million Hong Kong dollars. It was only after the chairman was replaced by our boss that the profit became so high."

He naturally would not explain that the previous chairmen had used the company's profits for "investment", which led to low profits.

Because there is no need to explain.

Afterwards, Huo Jianning also talked with Burton about his own views, and quickly won Burton's satisfaction.

The young man in front of me is indeed the real deal.

Huo Jianning certainly knew that although he was personally invited by the chairman of Qingzhou Yingni Company to serve as the financial director, if he wanted to have a good career here, he would not be able to stay sooner or later without the necessary abilities.

Therefore, it is necessary to show off your skills and gain the other party's recognition.

Seeing that Huo Jianning did not disappoint him and got Burton's recognition so quickly, Lin Haoran was also very satisfied.

While Burton and Huo Jianning were chatting about company matters, Lin Haoran also called the Human Resources Department and asked them to prepare two copies of the employment contract.

As for salary, just follow the instructions of the former financial director.

As for the issue that Huo Jianning currently does not have the ability to take charge of the entire company's finance department, Lin Haoran also talked about it with Huo Jianning.

Next, Huo Jianning will have a month to adapt to his position. During this period, he will follow the current Deputy Director of Finance to learn and gradually integrate into the Finance Department.

It will take a month before you can take full control of the Finance Department.

After Huo Jianning signed the labor contract with Qingzhou Yingni Company, Lin Haoran was surprised to find that his loyalty level had directly reached 85.

Although this is not the highest among his many employees, it is definitely a high level of loyalty.

Moreover, the two parties have actually only met twice. The fact that they have such a high level of loyalty is enough to prove that Huo Jianning is serious about his profession.

After Huo Jianning successfully joined Qingzhou Yingni Company, Lin Haoran also handed the matter over to Burton, asking him to do his best to train this young man.

Because Lin Haoran knew that although Huo Jianning would definitely be a great talent in the future, he was only 27 years old now and still needed some growth process.

For the time being, Qingzhou Yingni Company is just a small platform in his growth process.

With another future general in his hands, Lin Haoran felt better.

However, he also knew that it would take at least two or three years for Huo Jianning to grow up. Although he had talent now, he was still too young and did not have enough business management experience.

In the blink of an eye, another week passed and it was July 7th.

During this period, the development in Hong Kong was going normally and there was nothing for him to worry about.

As for the price of gold, just as he expected, it continued to rise every day.

A month has passed since I returned from the United States.

In the whole month, there were only three days of decline, and the decline was very small. The next day, the stock market rose sharply again.

In just one month, the price of gold has risen from $250 per ounce to $320 per ounce.

However, Lin Haoran knew that this increase was still relatively slow. By the end of the year, everyone would realize how crazy the gold price had risen.

Citibank in the United States would contact him regularly and give him advice. His broker even suggested that he lock in his profits since he had already made a lot of money.

However, Lin Haoran naturally ignored his suggestion. After all, he knew how much the price of gold would rise in the future.

In fact, by January next year, he is very confident that the price of gold will rise and he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Since the Shi Xun Road villa is still under renovation, Lin Haoran can only temporarily live in the Deep Water Bay villa. As for the house in Hengfeng Building, he only lives there when he and Guan Jiahui do some adult things occasionally. He rarely lives there at other times.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, after coming out of the Deep Water Bay Villa, Lin Haoran asked Li Weiguo to drive directly to the Wan'an Group Building.

Now, he doesn't have to worry too much about either Wan'an Group or Qingzhou Yingni Company.

Unlike his father Lin Wanan's way of business management, Lin Wanan would handle all the affairs of the group personally, while Lin Haoran would leave more things to General Manager Yang Mingyi.

At Qingzhou Yingni Company, with Burton, a capable and competent assistant, he doesn't have to worry too much.

As for Aimego Company, he only needs to wait for dividends. He still has great confidence in Liu Luanxiong's management ability.

The future business tycoon's rise to prominence in his previous life was like a miracle, with everything going smoothly for him.

Since Lin Haoran was riding on his rising ship and using him to make money for himself, there was no need for him to worry about anything.

After arriving at the Wan'an Group Building, he went directly to the office of Huanyu Investment Company, because at around nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Haoran received a call from Su Zhixue, telling him that there was something that might be useful to him.

"Boss." As he walked into the office, everyone greeted him.

Lin Haoran nodded, called Su Zhixue, and came to Su Zhixue's general manager's office.

"What's the situation with the Hong Kong Electric Group?" Lin Haoran asked.

It has been a month since he asked Universal Investment Company to secretly acquire shares of Hong Kong Electric Group.

Every once in a while, Lin Haoran would come over to find out about the progress.

“The stock market performance of Hong Kong Electric Group has always been good, and the trading volume is also very good, but it is slightly inferior to those real estate companies’ stocks.

After this period of acquisitions, as of yesterday we held a total of 4790 million shares of Hong Kong Electric Group, with total expenditures reaching HK$11553 million and an average price per share of around HK$2.412.

The total issued shares of HK Electric Group reach 6.3 million shares, so its price per share is not high. The current market share price remains at HK$2.4 to HK$2.5 per share, which is slightly higher than when we first started to acquire shares of HK Electric Group.

In order to avoid causing too much disturbance in the market, we have not been making large purchases, but have been using cautious means to purchase. Although the speed is a bit slow, so far no one has noticed our actions, so the share price of Hong Kong Electric Group has not risen too much! "Su Zhixue reported the current situation in detail.

As for the acquisition of Wan'an Group, there is no need to report it because the shares they hold have exceeded 90% in one fell swoop, and they have already applied to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for delisting. Huanyu Investment Company has stopped the acquisition of Wan'an Group shares, and the finishing work has been handed over to Huoduoli Company under Huifeng Bank.

Lin Haoran nodded. In just one month, he absorbed nearly 50 million shares, and he did so with cautious trading. This result was already very good.

Based on the total shares of 6.3 million shares, he has secretly controlled 7.6% of the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group.

According to the shareholder information currently released by the Hong Kong Electric Group, he has surpassed the original second largest shareholder and secretly become the second largest shareholder of the Hong Kong Electric Group.

As for the largest shareholder, he is about to surpass it, because the largest shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group only holds 8.4% of the shares. Lin Haoran had already known this before.

In other words, if given a few more days, Universal Investment Company will surpass the now-obvious major shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group and become the largest shareholder in the true sense.

The fact that Universal Investments was able to acquire 7.6% of Hong Kong Electric Group shares in just one month is also largely related to the current bull stock market.

Precisely because of the surge in trading volume, they were able to absorb the stocks very calmly. Under the cover of many investors, their performance every trading day was brilliant.

"By the way, you called me and told me there was a piece of news that I might be interested in. What was it?" Lin Haoran asked.

"Boss, it's like this. We have collected a piece of gossip that Mr. Percy, the second largest shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group, is planning to sell his shares while the Hong Kong stock market is booming. This news has already spread to a small circle.

I also learned about this matter through a foreign trader I often contact at the stock exchange. However, I heard that this shareholder wanted to sell it at 10% higher than the market price, so there is currently no British interest in his shares. After all, in everyone's opinion, it is better to buy them on the stock market.

Since the British usually prefer to sell their shares to other British financial groups and rarely to Chinese, I cannot guarantee the authenticity of this news. Boss, you need to verify it through higher-level connections." Su Zhixue reported quickly.

Collecting target information is also one of their daily goals. Otherwise, blindly operating is a taboo for investment companies.

When Lin Haoran heard this, he thought it was good news.

Although he does not have the power to control the Hong Kong Electric Group now, he can take this opportunity to increase his shares in the Hong Kong Electric Group, which will be beneficial for subsequent operations.

When he has sufficient funds, he will be able to acquire more shares of Hong Kong Electric Group in one fell swoop, thereby taking control of the Hong Kong Electric Group.

"Okay, you have paid close attention to this matter. As for whether it is true or not, I will investigate it. Thank you for your hard work. Go out and continue to be busy." Lin Haoran said to Su Zhixue with a smile.

Fortunately, Su Zhixue paid attention to these rumors, otherwise it would have been a great pity if he had missed this opportunity.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, he will investigate it. If it is true, he will try his best to get these shares.

Foreigners have never liked doing equity transactions with the Chinese. These British people feel that they are superior all day long and disdain to cooperate with Chinese financial groups.

But now, times have changed. The decline of British financial groups and the rise of Chinese financial groups are facts that cannot be changed.

There should be no major forces paying attention to the Hong Kong Electric Group at the moment.

Jardine Matheson Land set its sights on Hong Kong Electric Group only after its failure in Wharf Holdings.

But now, Jardine Matheson Land is still fighting with Pao Yu-kong. Even if it is interested in Hong Kong Electric Group, it does not have the energy to fight on two fronts.
