In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

After hearing Bao Yugang's words, Lin Haoran suddenly became curious. What could be the matter that required him to convey it so secretly?

This is really not in line with the style of a big boss.

"Uncle Bao, please go ahead!" Lin Haoran responded solemnly.

“Haoran, it’s fine for you to make some serious investments in the mainland, but remember to avoid sensitive or special industries, especially items that the UK explicitly prohibits from being imported into the mainland.

At the same time, when dealing with relevant departments, you need to maintain an appropriate distance and not get too involved. Hong Kong is currently in a turbulent period and your main industrial roots are there.

If the Governor's Office accuses you of something, your economic activities in Hong Kong will be difficult and blocked everywhere. I am doing this for your own good!" Bao Yugang lowered his voice and said earnestly.

If it were someone else, they might be confused by Bao Yugang's words, but Lin Haoran understood what he meant as soon as he heard it.

The British Hong Kong government was trying hard to maintain its rule over Hong Kong, and therefore was averse to Hong Kong businessmen having too much contact with the mainland.

Bao Yugang was subtly reminding him that he needed to be careful when doing things in the mainland!
"Uncle Bao, I understand. Thank you very much for your reminder!" Lin Haoran nodded in thanks.

"Well, since you understand, then take a rest early. I'll go back first!" Seeing that Lin Haoran understood quickly, Bao Yugang did not stay any longer.

After Bao Yugang left the room, Lin Haoran sat back in his chair and fell into deep thought about Bao Yugang's words.

Nowadays, why are most Hong Kong businessmen reluctant to invest in the mainland?
The first reason is that they do not have enough confidence in the future development trend of the mainland, and the second reason is that they are worried that the British Hong Kong government will put an unfavorable label on them.

When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. It's really a helpless act.

However, through his understanding of his previous life, Lin Haoran had already known in advance that since the two countries signed the "Joint Declaration" in 1984, the restrictions imposed by the British Hong Kong government had been greatly relaxed.

Because the Governor's Office has realized that it is hopeless to continue seeking to rule Hong Kong.

It was from this year that more and more Hong Kong businessmen began to turn their attention to the huge market in the Mainland.

However, at this time, no one knows what the future will be like.

Everyone knows that in front of the country, even wealthy businessmen like them are just more conspicuous ants.

Because of this, Bao Yugang was worried that Lin Haoran, a young businessman he was very optimistic about, would be too hasty in his investments in the mainland. This shows that he had good intentions towards Lin Haoran.

For Lin Haoran, his investments in the mainland in recent years are mainly focused on planning for the future, and he is not in a hurry to invest heavily.

For example, in places like Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Shanghai, which are extremely strategic for future development, we first stockpile a large amount of land, such as Nanshan, Luohu, and Futian in Shenzhen, Tianhe, Yuexiu, and Haizhu in Guangzhou, and Pudong, Huangpu, and Minhang in Shanghai. Then, we simply develop some electronic manufacturing industries and build commercial buildings in these places.

In twenty or thirty years, the value of the land alone will rise to a terrifying number, regardless of other things.

Forty years ago today, Pengcheng’s GDP was less than 200 million RMB, but forty years later, Pengcheng’s GDP was more than 2 trillion RMB, an increase of more than 10,000 times!
It is conceivable how terrifyingly fast Pengcheng's economy has developed in the past few decades.

One night passed quickly.

The developed area of ​​Pengcheng at that time was not large, so there were actually not many places that these people could inspect in Pengcheng, mainly concentrated in Shekou and Luohu areas.

At noon, after having a meal in Pengcheng, everyone took a special car directly to the provincial capital of Yangcheng.

There was no expressway, so we had to take the national highway. It took us more than three hours to travel more than a hundred kilometers before we finally reached our destination, Yangcheng.

Although Guangzhou was not as prosperous as Hong Kong at that time, as a big city, its scale and facilities were still far superior to those of Shenzhen.

The high standard of the reception made Lin Haoran deeply feel the importance and courtesy he received as a Hong Kong businessman.

In the afternoon, Lin Haoran had a separate and in-depth meeting with relevant leaders. This meeting was not held with Bao Yugang, Guo Henian and others.

When the other party learned that Lin Haoran intended to make large-scale investments in Guangdong Province, their attitude towards him became more cordial and enthusiastic.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the warming relationship between the two sides, Lin Haoran put forward his own demand: he hopes to recruit a group of veterans who participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam to protect the company.

These veterans who have experienced the baptism of war are definitely far more capable and qualified than those soldiers who have not been tested in actual combat.

Originally, Lin Haoran thought that although the other party would agree to this request, they would not provide any assistance.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only agreed, but also promised to help him find 200 people according to his requirements.

For the local government, allowing some people to work in Hong Kong in exchange for large investments is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal.

After all, their current top priority is to fully promote economic development!
"Mr. Lin, please rest assured," the other party promised solemnly, "At the end of last year, we had a group of veterans who retired. They were all participants in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. They are currently working in various units in Guangzhou. It is very convenient to contact them. If they are willing to go to Hong Kong with you, they will be completely yours and will no longer have any connection or contact with us."

Two hundred people, this number is neither too many nor too few. Lin Haoran is satisfied with this and does not ask for more.

Once he successfully recruited these two hundred battle-hardened fighters, the security company he planned would have a solid foundation.

In the future, he may also consider further expanding enrollment in the mainland.

After investing in the Mainland, he will continue to recruit personnel in the Mainland and try to send them to Hong Kong, which will be legitimate.

These two hundred people are just laying a foundation.

As for whether these two hundred people would become spies planted by the government, Lin Haoran didn't care. What he really needed were capable thugs who could obey his orders unconditionally and do whatever he was told to do. That was enough.

The main purpose of a security company is to protect its growing number of companies.

In addition, he also has the golden finger of loyalty, so he will be able to tell who has problems at a glance in the future.

The most important thing is that the government here can help, and it is obvious that the two hundred people we contacted should not be too weak.

The only thing that worried him was that if the news got out, such an action might arouse the vigilance and precaution of the Governor's Office.

However, Lin Haoran has also considered it.

After gathering this group of people, he will ask the mainland to send a ship to send them to the Saigon area. The patrol intensity in Saigon is not as high as that in Pengcheng Bay, so there is no problem in sending them to Saigon.

At that time, we will gradually transfer these people to the urban area and let them apply for identity cards in Hong Kong.

Today, Hong Kong still implements a resistance policy towards illegal immigrants, which is relatively relaxed.

If illegal immigrants from the Mainland sneak into Hong Kong and successfully arrive in the urban area, they can become legal residents of Hong Kong and reside in Hong Kong; if illegal immigrants are intercepted by law enforcement officers in the border restricted area, they will be deported to the Mainland.

This policy will not be officially stopped until October this year.

With Lin Haoran's assistance, these people will naturally reach the city smoothly.

At that time, we will gradually absorb them into the security company.

"Thank you so much!" Lin Haoran said solemnly, "After I go back, I will immediately send someone to discuss the investment plan with us in detail. If nothing unexpected happens, our investment will reach 100 million Hong Kong dollars within three years, or even more. In the future, I will continue to increase investment!"

Lin Haoran was deeply satisfied with the sincerity shown by the other party, and he naturally did not want to disappoint the other party.

After all, he had planned to make large-scale investments, starting with manufacturing and setting up production bases in the mainland.

This is not a difficult task for Lin Haoran.

When the other party heard Lin Haoran mention the investment amount of over 100 million, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. This was obviously not a small amount!

Therefore, while Lin Haoran continued his market research in Guangzhou, those veterans who were interested in working in Hong Kong were gradually summoned to a place in the provincial capital.

In this day and age, there is naturally no shortage of people who want to go to Hong Kong, especially in Guangdong Province which is close to Hong Kong.

In Guangdong Province, everyone knows how prosperous and wealthy Hong Kong is, otherwise so many people would not risk their lives to sneak across the border.

Now, there is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of us. Being able to go to Hong Kong and ensure a stable job is something that many people have dreamed of, so they naturally have to seize it.

Therefore, it is not difficult to recruit these veterans.

On the third day in Yangcheng, Lin Haoran received good news that the required personnel had been found.

Lin Haoran did not inform Bao Yugang and Guo Henian about this matter, and the local government also kept a low profile and did not publicize it.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on March 10, three hundred energetic young men gathered in a gymnasium in Guangzhou.

That’s right, three hundred people.

The reason why they found three hundred people was because the government knew that Lin Haoran would definitely select people, so they directly found three hundred people and selected two hundred for Lin Haoran.

From this we can see that the other party is very thoughtful and treats potential foreign entrepreneurs like Lin Haoran very well.

Although these people are not particularly strong due to their diet, their fighting power is not measured solely by their body size.

Standing in front of the two hundred young men, Lin Haoran said with a smile: "I think everyone is clear about the reason why I found you through the government this time. Let me introduce myself first. I am an entrepreneur in Hong Kong and currently owns several large companies in Hong Kong.

My request to you is very direct. I need you to protect the safety of these companies. In short, if you can pass my test, you will become a member of my security company, which is what we usually call a thug. As for the benefits, it will definitely be better than you expected. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Two hundred people answered in unison, their voices strong and powerful.

Obviously, although these people have retired, their years of training have not been immediately abandoned.

"Weidong, Weiguo, I'll leave the next test to you." Lin Haoran turned and said to the two of them, "I need a group of capable subordinates. I don't require their strength to be comparable to yours, but they must at least reach Lin Yi's level. For those who are not capable enough, they will all be eliminated. Pick out the best 200 people for me. As for how to judge them, you are fully responsible!"

Lin Yi's level may be considered good among ordinary people, as he can fight one against five, but he seems average when facing strong masters like Li Weidong and Li Weiguo.

Therefore, Lin Haoran's requirements are neither overly harsh nor easy.

This time he came to the mainland, he was looking for elites, not ordinary people.

If they were not elites, he could have recruited a large number of people in Hong Kong. Why would he go through all the trouble of coming to the mainland to find people?

"Boss, please rest assured!" The two nodded, and then turned to look at the two hundred people. (End of this chapter)
