In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 148 Return to Huafeng Cement Factory

After becoming a member of the board of directors of Hong Kong Electric Group, the matter soon calmed down and did not cause much impact.

In fact, without careful investigation, no one would know that Lin Haoran, chairman of Qingzhou Yingni Company, has become a shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group.

In the blink of an eye, it was September.

In September in Hong Kong, the climate is still hot, the sun is strong, the daytime temperature is basically over 9 degrees Celsius, and even the sea breeze is hot.

In the morning, Lin Haoran didn't get up until after nine o'clock.

Walking out of the room, unlike other places in Hong Kong, Lin Haoran’s residence was not that hot.

This is not the Deep Water Bay villa area, but the Severn Road villa area.

In mid-August, the private villa he bought for HK$8 million was renovated.

The decoration I did myself is all made of real materials and contains no formaldehyde.

However, Lin Haoran did not move in until the end of August.

After the renovation, the entire exterior style of the Shi Xundao Lin family villa has changed, becoming more in line with the futuristic style.

The interior is not very luxurious, but mainly simple in style. For Lin Haoran, he thinks it is enough as long as it looks good.

After moving in, Lin Haoran also hired two young Filipino Chinese maids to do daily cleaning work such as cleaning the room, cleaning the bathroom, wiping the windows, cleaning the floor, etc. to keep the villa tidy and clean.

In addition, we also hired a couple with excellent cooking skills, whose daily job is to buy groceries and cook.

When recruiting these people, Lin Haoran also has very high requirements. If the loyalty level does not meet the requirements, he will replace them directly.

Therefore, in such a big villa, with Lin Haoran, Li Weidong and Li Weiguo, there are actually 7 people in total, and it does not seem unpopular.

Lin Haoran has lived here for more than ten days, and his feeling is that the temperature here seems to be several degrees lower than that at the foot of the mountain. Even in hot weather, it is not that hot here.

In the Deep Water Bay villa area, when you wake up every morning, all you see is the sea view.

At Shixun Road Villa, there are not only sea views, but also city views, night views, and mountain views.

In addition, police cars would pass by on Shixun Road outside from time to time. In order not to disturb the residents along the way, these police cars would not sound the sirens. It can be said that the sense of security was maximized.

It's really worth spending HK$4 million to live here.

After getting up, Lin Haoran read the newspaper while eating the fried dough sticks beside him.

Reading newspaper in the morning was a habit he had long developed.

The first thing to pay attention to is the price of gold.

Today, the price of gold has risen from $320 per ounce two months ago to $390 per ounce today, which means it is about to break through the $400 per ounce mark.

The growth rate in these two months may not seem fast, but in fact Lin Haoran knows that after November, the speed will be even faster.

Especially after events such as the Iranian hostage crisis in November and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December, the rise in gold prices was further exacerbated.

Coupled with the harm caused by inflation around the world, the rise in gold prices is inevitable.

So, he doesn't need to worry too much about the price of gold now.

Moreover, even if he sold his gold futures now, he would have already made a lot of money.

The purchase price at that time was only US$253 per ounce. In just three months, the price has risen by more than US$ per ounce.

But he naturally won't be satisfied. Why should he make small money when there is more money to be made?

Once you miss this opportunity, it will be gone.

After moving here, Lin Haoran discovered that living here also has an advantage. Whether going to the Wan'an Group Building or to the Hong Kong Electric Group Headquarters, the journey only takes more than ten minutes, which is much more convenient than the Deep Water Bay Villa, which takes more than half an hour.

After breakfast and reading the newspaper, Lin Haoran took the two brothers Li Weidong and Li Weiguo out.

He did not go to the Wan'an Group Building, but went to the headquarters of Yumin Financial Company.

The term of the first loan of 50 million Hong Kong dollars from Yu Min Financial Company last year has expired.

This time, he not only had to repay the loan and redeem the property rights of Huafeng Cement Plant, but also had to negotiate with Yumin Financial Company to extend the HK$2.4 million loan they had lent him.

This loan of HK$2.4 million was taken out for the purchase of oil and was signed in early November last year, so the loan is about to expire.

Lin Haoran plans to postpone the repayment date for three months, which means he will repay the money in early February next year.

By January, the funds from gold futures should be able to be recovered. By then, he will no longer be short of money and can repay the loan easily.

As for the loan due in November, he could actually raise the money to pay it back, but there was no need to do so. That amount of interest might be very high for others, but it was not high for Lin Haoran.

The villa on Shi Xun Road is not far from Central, but the mountain road is a bit winding and requires a long detour. After nearly twenty minutes, Lin Haoran appeared in the office of Yumin Financial Company.

"Uncle Yang, you look so radiant. It seems you have been having a good time recently?" Lin Haoran said with a smile as he walked into the office.

At this moment, Yang Changdao's face was indeed flushed. Not only that, his belly was getting bigger and bigger. It was obvious that he had made a lot of money in the past year.

At the same time, Lin Haoran also knew that he should have cooperated with another major client, Jianing Group, many times, and must have gained a lot of benefits from it.

If nothing unexpected happens, Yumin Financial Company will probably be affected by the Jianing Group in 1983, at which time it will collapse, but now it is still 1979.

“No, no, compared with Nephew Lin, what I have is nothing. You are not only the chairman of Wan'an Group, but also the chairman of Qingzhou Yingni Company. You are much more powerful than me, the general manager of Yumin Financial Company.” Yang Changdao laughed.

"Uncle Yang, you should know the purpose of my visit this time. I have already transferred the funds and interest of the first loan to the public account of your Yumin Finance Company. This is the transfer voucher. In addition, it is also to redeem my Huafeng Cement Factory property rights. Is there any problem with this?" Lin Haoran said directly. "Of course, no problem, I will handle the repayment procedures for you right away!" Yang Changdao said with a smile.

In Yang Changdao's opinion, doing business with Lin Haoran is the safest. After all, Lin Haoran is now the boss of two companies and has the ability to privatize the two companies. This kind of customer is the most popular among financial companies. By turning two listed companies into private companies, doing loan business with him is absolutely safe and secure.

After completing the formalities, Lin Haoran successfully obtained the property rights, land deeds, etc. of Huafeng Cement Factory that were originally mortgaged to Yumin Financial Company.

After a year of property value growth, the land of Huafeng Cement Factory has already become valuable, with a market value of at least 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Nephew Lin, I don't know if you are still short of money. You can come to me for a loan at any time. Although you still have a loan of 2.4 million Hong Kong dollars to repay, if you still want to borrow more, I can definitely approve you million or million Hong Kong dollars without any problem!" After completing the repayment procedure, Yang Changdao's smile became even brighter.

Obviously, he still wants to continue doing business with Lin Haoran.

"Uncle Yang, you don't need a loan, but I do have something to tell you. My current funds are all used for investment needs, and my HK$2.4 million loan will expire in November, so I would like to discuss with you about postponing the repayment. It doesn't need to be postponed for too long, three months will be enough, and then I can get my funds back. Of course, I will also pay the interest generated during the postponement period. Is this request difficult to meet?" Lin Haoran then talked about his other need.

"Postpone the repayment for three months? Of course no problem. It's not a difficult task. Wait a minute, I'll ask the finance department to draft the contract, and I'll take care of it at the headquarters. Nephew Lin, you can rest assured!" What Lin Haoran didn't expect was that Yang Changdao agreed to this matter without any hesitation.

After all, with the ability to privatize two listed companies, there is no need to worry that Lin Haoran will run away.

Moreover, Lin Haoran also mortgaged part of the property rights of Qingzhou Yingni Company to them.

Half an hour later, Lin Haoran had signed a new loan extension contract with Yumin Financial Company.

As for what happens next, he naturally doesn't need to deal with it. Yang Changdao will take care of it for him.

A year later, looking at the information about Huafeng Cement Plant again, Lin Haoran felt a little emotional.

A year ago, he was almost penniless except for owning the Huafeng Cement Factory.

But a year later, he had become the boss of two large companies, with billions of funds in hand, and had become the largest shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group.

It is time to merge Huafeng Cement Factory with Qingzhou Cement Company.

He already had this idea when he acquired Qingzhou Yingni Company.

At that time, Qingzhou Yingni Company had not yet been privatized, so the idea at that time was to use Qingzhou Yingni Company to acquire Huafeng Cement Plant, and then he could withdraw cash through Qingzhou Yingni Company.

However, there is no need to do so now, because Qingzhou Yingni Company has been privatized by him and all of it is his personal asset.

At this time, letting Qingzhou Yingni Company acquire Huafeng Cement Plant would be just an unnecessary move.

After leaving Yumin Financial Company, Lin Haoran asked Li Weiguo to drive him to Qingzhou Yingni Company first.

General Manager’s Office, Ching Chau Cement Company, Hung Hom.

"Boss, why are you here?" Burton asked in surprise.

In the past, Lin Haoran would directly call him to the chairman's office, but today Lin Haoran came to Burton's office. How could he not be surprised?

"I'm going to do something with you, so I'll show you these things." Lin Haoran smiled and handed over the property rights, title deeds and other information of Huafeng Cement Plant.

"Huafeng Cement Factory? Boss, what do you mean?" Burton didn't understand what Lin Haoran meant.

"I plan to merge Huafeng Cement Factory and Qingzhou Cement Company. This way, we can increase Hong Kong's cement production. I'll leave this matter to you. While we are free today, let's go to Huafeng Cement Factory. By the way, call Huo Jianning and ask him to come with us." Lin Haoran said directly.

The reason why Huo Jianning was called upon was naturally to let him learn more and grow faster.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will take over Hong Kong Electric Group next year.

Although Qingzhou Yingni Company is not a small company, for Huo Jianning, this platform is too small.

Only by going to a larger platform can you learn faster.

Therefore, Lin Haoran had already decided that after taking over the Hong Kong Electric Group, he would transfer Ho Kin Ning to the Hong Kong Electric Group.

Of course, he was transferred to the Hong Kong Electric Group not to let him directly serve as the head of the Hong Kong Electric Group, as Huo Jianning does not have such ability now.

At that time, Lin Haoran will let Huo Jianning start as a small senior executive there.

The Hong Kong Electric Group is a diversified enterprise with many businesses, so there is much to learn.

In this way, Huo Jianning's growth rate will be faster.

When he grows up, he can become the head of the Hong Kong Electric Group or be transferred to other platforms.

I have the impression that in another world, Kenneth Fok served as the chairman of Hong Kong Electric Group for 11 years.

Therefore, if the Hong Kong Electric Group is managed by him in the future, it can be regarded as a return to normal.

It’s just that the boss has changed. Originally, Li Jiacheng was the boss, but now Lin Haoran is the boss.

In addition, the timeline has also been advanced.

However, these are not a problem. As long as Huo Jianning has the ability, there will be no problem for him to become the head of a group at any time.

Not long after, Huo Jianning was called over by Burton.

"Let's go, let's go together." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

The distance from Hung Hom to Yuen Long is not far, but the road is not easy to travel.

Nearly two hours later, Lin Haoran and others finally arrived at the Huafeng Cement Factory in Yuen Long.
