In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

"Nephew Lin, to be honest, this so-called No. 1 Chinese gang is not a good group. Their actions are almost the same as those of the Brotherhood, including kidnapping, extortion, fraud, forcing decent women into prostitution, human trafficking, drug trafficking, and other evil deeds.

However, they are a little different from the Brotherhood in that they mainly target people of other races and rarely target Chinese people. They even help many Chinese people who are struggling to make a living. This is why, despite everything they do being utterly unscrupulous, they have a relatively good reputation among the Chinese people.

Of course, as long as they don't provoke us, there is no need for us to interfere too much. After all, we are not law enforcers and have no obligation to eradicate evil or punish villains.

This gang is called the May Fourth Gang, which means brothers from all over the world. It has more than 3,000 official members and is much stronger than the Brotherhood.

As far as I know, the leaders of the May Fourth Gang have been considering annexing the Brotherhood. Over the years, they have had conflicts with the Brotherhood from time to time over territory. Although they have gained a certain advantage, they have never been able to completely defeat the other side.

Therefore, if you plan to rely on the May Fourth Gang to deal with the Brotherhood, I think this is probably not very realistic. With the current strength of the May Fourth Gang, it has not yet reached the level that can suppress the Brotherhood.

However, if you just want the Brotherhood to not cause you trouble, then it's much easier. I can introduce you to the leader of the May Fourth Gang. If you pay some protection money to the May Fourth Gang, the Brotherhood will basically not dare to provoke you again." Guo Henian said with a smile.

"Protection money?" Lin Haoran frowned.

He thought to himself that instead of doing this, it would be more reliable to form an armed force as soon as possible.

According to what Bao Yugang just said, they will be visiting the mainland in the near future, and Lin Haoran is planning to take this opportunity to recruit a group of highly combat-capable veterans to Hong Kong.

This shouldn't take too long.

During this period, the Philippine branch of Qingzhou Cement Company has no plans to enter the Visayas market, so the gang members of the brotherhood will not take the initiative to cause trouble.

The reason why these brotherhood members threatened Qingzhou Cement Company is that they must have been bribed by the cement company that monopolizes the market in the Visayas Islands. This kind of thing is very common in business competition. For the sake of profit, any means can be used.

Therefore, if the threat of the Brotherhood can be resolved in the future and he can enter the Visayas market, Lin Haoran will definitely let Qingzhou Yingni enter this market, and it would be best if he could defeat that cement company.

However, Lin Haoran got an inspiration from Guo Henian's words.

Since the May Fourth Gang has always intended to annex the Brotherhood, perhaps he could take this opportunity to cooperate with the May Fourth Gang and jointly fight against the Brotherhood.

In this way, the May Fourth Gang will owe him a favor, and his future industries in the Philippines will also be taken care of by them.

At the same time, through cooperation with the May Fourth Gang, Lin Haoran can also demonstrate his armed strength, making the May Fourth Gang dare not offend him easily.

In this way, he has established a certain deterrent power in the Philippines!
Relying on paying protection fees to ensure one's own safety is undoubtedly a stopgap measure, not a long-term solution.

Therefore, Lin Haoran did not plan to take this path.

This market has to pay protection fees, that market has to pay protection fees, all the money he earned is used to pay protection fees, what's the point of doing this?

"Thank you Uncle Guo for your reminder. If necessary, I will definitely ask you for an introduction." After Lin Haoran figured it out, he responded with a smile.

"I have extensive connections in Malaysia and Singapore, and no one dares to provoke me there easily. So, if your company encounters any problems in Singapore and Malaysia, just tell me and I can help you solve them!" Guo Henian further said.

The Guo family has been deeply rooted in Malaysia for many years and has long established a deep foundation. They even have a complicated relationship with the Malaysian government. Naturally, no one dares to provoke them easily.

It can be said that in Malaysia, the Guo family is a veritable “local tyrant”!
Guo Henian is obviously trying to deepen his relationship with Lin Haoran.

After all, Lin Haoran has achieved such extraordinary achievements at only twenty-something years old, and his future potential is limitless.

Such a business genius is naturally worthy of Guo Henian's efforts to win over.

Doing so will also be of great benefit to the future development of the Guo family.

After all, in the business world, it is often difficult to develop long-term by going it alone. It is best to unite, form alliances, and jointly face challenges or cooperate.

The stronger the connection, the better for business development between both of them.

"Thank you, Uncle Guo. I will definitely ask you for help if I need anything!" Lin Haoran answered bluntly after hearing what Guo Henian said.

Most of his companies have plans to enter the Southeast Asian market, and Malaysia and Singapore are undoubtedly extremely critical markets among them.

Companies like Qingzhou Yingni have already entered the markets of Malaysia and Singapore, but their share is still small. With the help of Guo Henian, Qingzhou Yingni may be able to quickly expand its market share.

Although the two listed utility companies, Hong Kong Electric Company Limited and China Gas Company, have no industries in Nanyang, it is only a matter of time before they move out of Hong Kong and develop in Nanyang as they have reached a bottleneck in their development.

Even the real estate company Wan'an Group can also enter Singapore. After all, Singapore's future prospects are no less promising than Hong Kong. Entering the Singapore market is undoubtedly a wise move. Otherwise, it would be a waste of this land with unlimited potential.

With Guo Henian's support, their development path will undoubtedly be smoother.

The three of them had a great conversation in the reception room. After chatting for more than an hour, Guo Henian and Guo Xiaohan reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Haoran.

"Nephew Lin, and Xiaohan, you are both young people. The future world belongs to you. You should communicate more and make progress together!" Before leaving, Guo Henian said to the two of them earnestly.

Guo Henian's words made Guo Xiaohan blush. Her rosy cheeks made her look particularly pretty and charming.

Obviously, Guo Henian has keenly noticed that his niece Guo Xiaohan has a secret crush on Lin Haoran.

In the world of these wealthy families, their children's marriages are often beyond their control and are mostly arranged based on interests.

However, the Lin family is now a match for the Guo family.

Since Guo Xiaohan is interested in Lin Haoran, this is undoubtedly a gratifying thing for Guo Henian.

After all, being able to marry the person you love is much happier than being forced by your family to marry into another wealthy family.

Lin Haoran is not a fool, so he can naturally understand the profound meaning of Guo Henian's words.

He looked at Guo Xiaohan carefully and saw that she was outstanding in appearance and knowledgeable. Now she was learning business from Guo Henian. It was obvious that she would not be just a vase with beautiful appearance in the future. Such a woman was indeed a good choice for a wife.

However, he currently does not have much thought about getting married and starting a family. After all, he has no shortage of female companions around him. As for his relationship with Guo Xiaohan, he decided to let nature take its course.

Moreover, with Lin Haoran's current status and position, he does not need to rely on political marriage to consolidate his position.

If he likes her, he will marry her; if he doesn't like her, he naturally won't consider it.

Lin Haoran did have a certain degree of affection for Miss Guo, but this was merely admiration for beautiful women and had not yet reached the level of liking her.

love at first sight?
Lin Haoran had never had this feeling before.

Therefore, for Lin Haoran, everything should be left to nature.

After all, he is only in his twenties and it is too early to talk about marriage!
"Uncle Guo, Miss Guo, you can come to my home on Shi Xun Road when you have time. My residence is not far from Uncle Guo's home, and you are always welcome to visit!" Lin Haoran said with a smile as he sent them to the car.

"Okay, we will definitely visit you when we are free. See you tomorrow." Guo Henian responded with a smile.

"Goodbye, Mr. Lin!" Guo Xiaohan said goodbye to Lin Haoran in a ladylike manner. Her beautiful eyes stayed on Lin Haoran for a long time until the car slowly drove away from the Lin family's gate. She reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

"Xiaohan, have you fallen in love with this young man Lin Haoran?" Guo Henian asked jokingly on the way back.

"Uncle, how can you say that? I didn't." Guo Henian's words made Guo Xiaohan's face, which had originally returned to normal, turn red again.

"Haha, look at you, you're still saying no, but your expression has already betrayed you. If you really like it, your uncle supports you. During the Chinese New Year, I have discussed this matter with your father, and he said that if you can marry Lin Haoran, he will not stop you.

Hong Kong is a city with great prospects. The focus of our Guo family's future development will gradually shift from Nanyang to Hong Kong.

But I want to remind you that you have to be mentally prepared. For an outstanding man like Lin Haoran, there will definitely not be only one woman in the future.

It is normal for him to have an affair outside and find a lover. As long as he doesn't bring her home openly, your uncle suggests that you should turn a blind eye to it. Things in rich families are doomed. There are too few loyal rich men!
If you want to marry an ordinary person for this reason, your family and your father will definitely stop you, so you should also consider this carefully. "Guo Henian planned to give Guo Xiaohan a shot of prevention first.

"Uncle, it hasn't come to that yet. What are you talking about?" Guo Xiaohan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, she also began to think about this issue seriously.

Apart from anything else, the uncle in front of me has more than one wife.

Her father also had a woman outside.

Unless she never marries in her life, she will eventually be unable to avoid a political marriage. This is the case for almost all wealthy Chinese families in Malaysia.

She has seen too many of these things since she was a child.

As for Guo Henian, if the Guo family could marry into the Lin family, it would undoubtedly bring huge benefits to the Guo family.

The strength of the multiple companies controlled by Lin Haoran alone is not inferior to that of the Guo family, not to mention its future development potential.

If the two companies can join forces, the effect will definitely be a multiplier effect where 1 plus 1 is greater than 2!

……

In the blink of an eye, the night passed.

In the morning, Lin Haoran had breakfast, then walked out slowly and headed for the Hong Kong Electric Group.

Last night, he had discussed with Guo Henian and agreed to sign a cooperation agreement with Guo Henian in the Hong Kong Electric Group.

This agreement is currently only a preliminary letter of intent for a joint bid reached by both parties. The real in-depth cooperation can only be further developed after the successful bid for the land in Sheung Wan.

After all, if the land is not acquired, no matter how detailed the contract terms are, they are just paper talk and meaningless.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Haoran met Guo Henian and Guo Xiaohan who arrived as scheduled.

Guo Henian obviously came prepared, and the cooperation agreement had already been prepared.

Lin Haoran took the cooperation agreement, reviewed it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he solemnly signed the agreement with Guo Henian.

The agreement is detailed, with clear terms for each matter, and even the maximum upper limit price for the auction is clearly visible - HK$4.7 million.

This means that based on the starting price, they can add up to HK$2 million. Once the bidding price exceeds this limit, they will give up the bidding and the cooperation agreement between the two parties will become invalid.

In addition, the agreement also clearly states that before a successful auction, both parties do not need to invest funds in advance, but only need to pay a small auction deposit.

Guo Henian had already paid this small deposit when he registered, so he naturally didn't need to worry too much about this small amount of money for the time being.

After successfully bidding for the land, the government will give a certain grace period for preparing the funds, and there is no need to pay the full amount to the government immediately.

"Nephew Lin, it's a pleasure to work with you!"

"Uncle Guo, happy cooperation!"

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

This cooperation will undoubtedly bring a win-win situation to both parties, and both are delighted. (End of this chapter)
