In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 203 The sincerity of apology

At noon, after having lunch with Chen Shoulin and others, he went to Huifeng Bank to remit the money for purchasing stocks to Li Mingze and others.

The funds from the Hong Kong Electric Group will be remitted by the Hong Kong Electric Group’s Finance Department, so Lin Haoran is only responsible for a part of it.

After the funds were transferred, Chen Shoulin returned to the company and called Li Mingze and others to inform them of the remittance.

Lin Haoran's acquisition of China Gas Company is bound to make Hong Kong citizens excited for several days.

Especially now that we are in the Spring Festival, everyone has the habit of visiting each other's homes to pay New Year's greetings, and naturally they will chat while doing so.

It was impossible to chat about trivial household matters for too long, so the series of events that had occurred in the China Gas Company in the past few days became the topic that everyone talked about the most.

First, Jardine Matheson announced that it would purchase shares of China Gas Company at a high price. Then, after the stock market closed, it held a press conference and announced with great fanfare that it had become the actual controlling shareholder of China Gas Company and would soon take over China Gas Company.

The funniest scene was that Niu Bijian, the boss of Jardine Matheson, announced himself as the new chairman in front of the former chairman of China Gas Company without confirming anything.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by Lin Haoran.

No one expected that the person who would eventually reap the fruits of victory would be the young man Lin Haoran.

At this moment, everyone knows that China Gas Company will still be a Chinese-owned enterprise, and the boss holds up to 49.9% of the shares. It is impossible for anyone to take this high-quality enterprise from him.

Therefore, when talking about this matter, these citizens had more smiles on their faces.

In Hong Kong, the older generation of citizens are basically immigrants from the mainland. Although these people immigrated to Hong Kong, they still have very complicated patriotic feelings towards the mainland.

Therefore, everyone welcomes the rise of Chinese-funded enterprises.

As for the stock market of China Gas Company, after there was no massive absorption of capital by Jardine Matheson, Hong Kong Land and Lam Ho Yin, everyone knew that the competition for China Gas Company had ended and calm was gradually restored.

In addition, the stock price itself was forced up, and it is more than 35% higher than the closing price of the last transaction before the New Year.

Therefore, even though there are not many shares left in the hands of investors, the share price of China Gas Company is still falling today.

Many investors who failed to sell their stocks yesterday can only keep lowering the order price if they want to sell them today.

By the afternoon closing, the stock price had fallen back to a total market value of HK$6.5 million.

Although the current market value is still higher than the total market value of HK$5.9 million during the last transaction before the New Year, it is almost the same.

Moreover, since there are not many shares of China Gas Company in the hands of shareholders now, it is actually very easy to raise the price. If it can fall back to this price, it is already very good. It is basically impossible for the stock price to fall back to the previous level.

Moreover, the Hong Kong stock market is currently in a bull market, with few stocks falling in a day, unless there is a company that has bad news, causing its stock price to fall.

Lin Haoran did not pay much attention to the situation in the stock market. After all, he now held 49.9% of the shares of China Gas Company. Unless he really wanted to privatize the company, the rise and fall of the stock price would basically have little to do with him.

Lin Haoran stayed at the China Gas Company until the afternoon before leaving.

With senior executives such as Chen Shoulin and He Zhenxing in the company, he doesn't have to worry too much.

After leaving Hong Kong, Lin Haoran went to the Hong Kong Electric Group.

Having just taken over the control of the China Gas Company, Chen Shoulin will definitely need to focus a lot of energy on that side in the next few days in order to quickly adapt to and take control of the area.

Hong Kong Electric Company Limited and China Gas Company are both public utilities. In terms of management, they actually have many similarities, which makes them easy for Chen Shoulin.

As for the Hong Kong Electric Group, there will basically be no problems and any problems can be dealt with and resolved in a timely manner.

Back at the Hong Kong Electric Group, everything in the company is in order and nothing will happen just because Chen Shoulin is not here for the time being.

Lin Haoran walked around the company and activated the golden finger, which showed at a glance the loyalty of every employee and management.

If there is a case of low loyalty, he will inform Chen Shoulin and ask him to conduct a secret investigation.

Today was pretty good and I didn't find anyone having any problems with loyalty.

Back in the office, Lin Haoran was flipping through last year's financial statements, which were for 1979, that he had requested from the Finance Department, intending to take a closer look.

As a result, the pager started vibrating.

Lin Haoran had no choice but to put the financial report on his desk, then he took out his pager and dialed the number back.

"Hello, I'm Lin Haoran, who are you?" Lin Haoran asked directly.

"Mr. Lin, my name is Ge Zhixiong. I'm very sorry to bother you during the New Year period. First of all, I wish you a happy New Year. I wonder if Mr. Lin is free now?" Ge Zhixiong said respectfully on the other end of the phone, fearing that he would accidentally offend Lin Haoran even more.

Before this, Lin Haoran asked Ge Zhixiong to give him an explanation.

Originally, Ge Zhixiong had planned to visit in person, but it happened to be the Spring Festival, and everyone was busy at this time, and the other party might not be available even if he visited him, so Ge ​​Zhixiong had postponed it until today, not daring to disturb Lin Haoran during the busiest time of the Spring Festival.

Ge Zhixiong has been worried these days. Although it is New Year's Day, he is not in any mood.

What happened at the China Gas Company today made Ge Zhixiong decide to settle the matter as soon as possible.

After all, Mr. Lin Haoran doesn't even take Jardine Matheson seriously, so what is their 13K?
Therefore, he was afraid that after a long time, Lin Haoran would suddenly remember the previous incident in Mong Kok, and then 13K would be in trouble.

"When you're free, Mr. Ge, please let me know if you have anything to say." Lin Haoran didn't put on airs.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder if I can visit you. I'm going here for the last incident, and I will definitely give Mr. Lin a satisfactory answer!" Ge Zhixiong asked respectfully.

"Okay, then come on, I'm at the headquarters of Hong Kong Electric Group, you should know where it is!" After hearing Ge Zhixiong's words, Lin Haoran did not refuse.

This matter is neither big nor small. He had already taught that gang a lesson, and in fact, he no longer cared much about these gangsters. It all depended on how 13K would give a satisfactory answer.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, please wait half an hour!" Ge Zhixiong continued.

After Lin Haoran hung up the phone, he continued to look at the financial statements of Hong Kong Electric Group.

From last year's financial statements, Lin Haoran could see that the Hong Kong Electric Group was indeed one of the rare high-quality enterprises in Hong Kong. Although the Hong Kong Electric Group was now pursuing a diversified development path, none of its businesses suffered losses last year.

Power sales, real estate development, property management, technical services, retail, advertising, finance, etc. all made money last year!
Among these, the one with the greatest risk may be the financial and loan industry. After all, the Hong Kong Electric Group has suffered losses in this area in the past because the listed companies that received the loans collapsed due to broken capital chains, resulting in the Hong Kong Electric Group not being able to fully recover even the principal, let alone the interest.

It is also because of this that the senior management of Hong Kong Electric Group has become more cautious about investment.

As for real estate development, the development model of HK Electric Group is different from that of other real estate companies.

The Hong Kong Electric Group is mainly focused on developing its own land and will not face any risk of loss even if it encounters a real estate crisis in the future.

This is also the reason why HK Electric Group did not suffer any losses last year.

In this situation, Lin Haoran was naturally very satisfied, and the acquisition of Hong Kong Electric Group was still very worthwhile.

Half an hour later, a car was parked in the parking space outside the headquarters building of Hong Kong Electric Group.

Then, two middle-aged men got out of the car.

The two people are 13K's leader Ge Zhixiong and 13K Yau Tsim Mong boss Hu Xiuyong.

At this moment, they no longer had the unruly and arrogant aura of the gangster bosses, but instead had faces full of uneasiness.

In Hong Kong's underworld, they were once like underground emperors.

However, facing a business tycoon like Lin Haoran, they did not dare to do anything to offend him.

Although the 13K is extremely powerful and is said to have more than 13 gang members, if a business tycoon like Lin Haoran goes to the government, the K will definitely have a hard time in the future.

Just look at the endings of跛豪 and the Ma brothers and you will understand.

Bo Hao was directly sentenced to thirty years in prison. Originally, their gang was one of the four major gangs in Hong Kong, but due to the arrest of many backbone members, it was severely damaged and gradually declined.

The same thing happened to the Ma family. The Ma brothers were forced to flee to Taiwan. The Ma family, once one of the four major gang families, quickly disappeared.

After experiencing these things, all gang members realized that no matter how powerful they looked, they could not defeat the government.

The arrogance of the past is long gone.

After Ge Zhixiong and Hu Xuyong got out of the car, they took a big gift bag from the trunk and then walked into the headquarters building of Hong Kong Electric Group.

Lin Haoran has already reminded the head of the group's security department through the intercom that a gang boss will be coming.

Regardless of whether it is Ge Zhixiong or Hu Xuyong, they are both very famous in the Hong Kong underworld, and the head of the security department naturally knows them.

Therefore, as soon as Ge Zhixiong and Hu Xuyong entered the building, they were stopped by security guards. They were first scanned with a security detector to make sure that they did not carry any metal weapons, and then they were taken to Lin Haoran's office.

After all, although Ge Zhixiong came to apologize this time, he is still the gang leader after all. For the safety of his boss, the security chief naturally dare not take it lightly.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in." Lin Haoran immediately said to the outside.

The door of the office slowly opened, and the head of the security department said respectfully, "Boss, Mr. Ge and Mr. Pan have been brought here."

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm Ge Zhixiong, and this is Pan Zhiyong from 13K. This is a small gift from us. I hope you don't mind, Mr. Lin." After saying this, Ge Zhixiong carefully placed the gift bag next to the desk.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Lin. I am Pan Zhiyong."

These two gangster bosses appeared extremely low-key and respectful in front of Lin Haoran at this moment.

If no one knew their identities, it would be hard for anyone to imagine that they were such well-known figures in the Hong Kong underworld.

"Sit down!" Lin Haoran put down the account book in his hand, raised his hand slightly, and pointed to the chair next to him. The two of them sat down slowly.

"I wonder what your plans are for your visit?" Lin Haoran asked softly with a smile on his face.

At this time, Hu Xuyong stood up.

"Mr. Lin, we have thoroughly investigated what happened that night. Those six people were my subordinates. They were blind and did not recognize the real man. They offended Mr. Lin. It was my fault for not teaching them well.

Although this matter was not ordered by me, since they are my subordinates, I have a great responsibility. To show my sincerity, I have had all six of them tied up and detained. Whether to kill or chop them up is entirely up to Mr. Lin.

As long as you give the order, I will handle it for you without your people taking any action. In addition, if Mr. Lin needs our 13K for anything in the future, just let me know.

Although we can't do big things, we can do some things that Mr. Lin is not convenient to do." Hu Xuyong said cautiously.

The relationship between Hong Kong's social groups and wealthy families has always been complicated and intricate.

To put it bluntly, Hong Kong's social groups often play the role of tools in the hands of wealthy families and are assigned to carry out tasks that may damage their reputation, such as murder and arson.

In other words, these associations are, to some extent, taking the blame for the crimes of the wealthy and playing the role of "scapegoat"!
