In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Luo Yingshi's idea is very simple. The current chairman of Kowloon Motor Bus, Deng Zhaojian, does not hold many shares. He is only able to serve as the chairman of Kowloon Motor Bus for a long time because of his status as the founder and the fact that the Lei family has little interest in managing Kowloon Motor Bus. He does not pose much of a threat.

The biggest threat is naturally the largest shareholder in the open, Lei Juekun!

If they take over the Lei family's shares in Kowloon Bus, it will be easy for them to control this listed company.

"You can try, but Dad, it will definitely not be easy to take over the shares of Kowloon Motor Bus held by Lei Juekun. Even if they are willing to sell, they will definitely take the opportunity to drive up the price." Luo Xurui said cautiously.

"Give it a try. How will you know if you don't try?" Luo Yingshi said with a smile.

"Then, Dad, shall we make an appointment with Mr. Lei Juekun to discuss this matter now?" Luo Xurui asked.

"Well, let me call him. If I call, he will always give me some face." Luo Yingshi said directly.

So, Luo Yingshi called Lei Juekun in the office of the Eagle Group headquarters to contact this wealthy Hong Kong businessman.

However, what Luo Yingshi didn't know was that even if he successfully bought the shares from Lei Juekun, he was destined to not be able to control Kowloon Motor Bus. His operation was destined to be in vain.

Huanyu Investment Company, Investment Department.

After a short lunch break, the trading teams started working again.

In the afternoon, Kowloon Motor Bus's shares were still actively traded.

The team of Huanyu Investment Company continued to buy stocks at suitable prices according to the progress made in the morning.

Time passed by unknowingly and it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, with less than twenty minutes left until closing.

Lin Haoran did not stay in Wanqing Building in the afternoon, but went to Hong Kong Electric Group.

After learning that there was security guarantee in the Philippines, Chen Shoulin set his sights on the Philippine market.

The Philippines is a populous country. Its population has now exceeded 50 million, and the population is constantly increasing.

If it can gain a certain market share in the Philippines, it will naturally be good news for the Hong Kong Electric Group.

As a country mainly composed of archipelagos, the Philippines' geographical conditions are very suitable for hydropower generation. The entire country is made up of thousands of islands and has more than 400 rivers and abundant hydropower resources.

Because of this, Chen Shoulin sent a team of experts to the Philippines to investigate for a few days, and the investigation team returned.

Through investigation, the team also concluded that the Philippines is now extremely short of electricity, especially in the metropolis of Manila. Due to the growing population and increasing electricity consumption, even if the current electricity investment is constantly increasing, it cannot meet all the needs. Therefore, the government welcomes investment in electricity.

Chen Shoulin also reported this matter to Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran naturally supported it.

Because he knew that the future population of the Philippines would indeed continue to grow rapidly.

Although the country has a population of only 16 million, Philippine society encourages early marriage and early childbearing. People can get married at the age of . Divorce is prohibited by law, contraception is restricted, people who have abortions face imprisonment, and the country even condones polygamy. These policies have led to high fertility rates.

As far as Lin Haoran knew about the Philippines in his previous life, it was a country with a population of over 100 million.

It is conceivable that the current population of the Philippines is only 50 million, so there is indeed a lot of room for growth.

Lin Haoran directly supported Chen Shoulin's plan. Anyway, there was military protection in the Philippines, so the safety of the company was at least guaranteed. Anyone who wanted to deal with him had to be prepared for retaliation, just like the ending of the Brotherhood.

The news of the Brotherhood's demise must have spread throughout the city of Manila, after all, it was such a large underworld.

Although the Global Security Consulting Company did not openly announce that this was related to the Brotherhood, those forces that wanted to know would know about it. These things were known to everyone, and therefore they were wary of the Global Security Consulting Company and even Lin Haoran behind it.

This is the deterrent power. If you want to provoke the other party, you must be prepared.

Even if you have the strength, there is no need to provoke them. After all, no one would take the initiative to provoke fatal disaster.

What's more, the government will certainly support the development of water conservancy projects, which are national public utilities, and it is impossible for them to be easily threatened by the underworld.

In the future, as Lin Haoran’s status in the international business community becomes higher and higher, it will be even less likely that the Philippine Ministry of Commerce will dare to offend Lin Haoran.

In addition, Chen Shoulin also planned to allow China Gas Company to enter the Philippine market, starting with the Manila market.

After chatting with Chen Shoulin, Lin Haoran rushed back to Wanqing Group.

Back at Huanyu Investment Company, there were only a few minutes left before the stock market closed.

Lin Haoran did not disturb the work of Su Zhixue and others, but returned to his office, drinking tea and enjoying the scenery outside the window.

The weather in Hong Kong is very good today, with clear blue skies and very high transparency. You can even clearly see the bustling traffic on the Kowloon Peninsula.

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Lin Haoran said to the person outside the door.

After a while, Su Zhixue opened the office door and walked in.

"Boss, today's task has been completed, and it was completed smoothly!" Su Zhixue walked in with a report.

"Well, show me."

Lin Haoran was not surprised. Whatever he asked Su Zhixue to do was usually successful, not to mention that today's task was not difficult.

Su Zhixue handed the bodyguard in his hand to Lin Haoran and just stood aside.

"Sit down, don't just stand there." Lin Haoran took the report and said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss." Su Zhixue then sat down.

The report detailed the latest situation of their mission, Hong Kong Land Group, Jardine Matheson, and Kowloon Motor Bus, in three tables. However, Lin Haoran's first focus was naturally on Kowloon Motor Bus, which he was most concerned about.

After all, taking over Kowloon Motor Bus is just around the corner.

“Holds 36.83% of Kowloon Motor Bus shares!”

"So many?" Lin Haoran was a little surprised.

His goal was just to exceed 36%, but he didn't expect Su Zhixue to exceed the task by almost one point.

He looked at the purchase price and it was indeed much higher than yesterday, but it was still within his acceptable range.

What's more, it's just a few points of shares.

What they absorbed in the early stage were all at relatively low prices.

Even if the price is high now, the average unit price will be pulled down by the low price in the early stage.

"Boss, after Sun Hung Kai Properties stopped competing with us, our operations became much easier and it became simpler to absorb stocks. Plus, no one thought that we would sweep through some orders that were much higher than today's opening price, so we were able to exceed our target." Su Zhixue replied.

The closing price was about 6% higher than the opening price, which is a rare surge in the stock market. No wonder the Kowloon Motor Bus project team of Universal Investment Company was able to absorb so many shares in one day.

After this wave, everyone must be certain that a consortium is making a targeted acquisition of Kowloon Motor Bus. Tomorrow, if nothing unexpected happens, the stock price of Kowloon Motor Bus will continue to rise sharply.

However, when they find that no one is buying anymore, the stock price will cool down again as expected. At that time, the stock price will naturally fall until the price stabilizes.

At least, Universal Investment Company does not need to continue to acquire shares of Kowloon Motor Bus for the time being.

"With this shareholding ratio, no one can pose a threat to us, right?" Lin Haoran asked with a smile.

"Boss, that's definitely impossible. We have already conducted a thorough investigation and the total number of shares held by the publicly disclosed shareholders is not as large as ours, unless a certain consortium itself holds a certain number of shares and has also acquired the shares of Lei Juekun, Deng Zhaojian and others.

However, this situation is obviously impossible, at least not now, otherwise it would have been announced long ago, and if the shares of these people were taken, Mr. Deng Zhaojian would not have been able to stay in Kowloon Motor Bus as chairman. "Su Zhixue shook his head and said.

In fact, Lin Haoran also knew that the shares were basically stable, but he was still a little worried.

However, if a 36.83% shareholding ratio is still not enough to seize the decision-making power of Kowloon Motor Bus, the probability is too small.

"In that case, let's send a notification letter to Kowloon Motor Bus to officially announce the shares we hold!" Lin Haoran said directly.

"Okay, I will immediately write a notice letter in the name of Universal Investment Company and send it to Kowloon Motor Bus, asking them to hold a board meeting!" Su Zhixue immediately understood what his boss meant. After saying this, he stood up and left Lin Haoran's office.

He had to rush back to his office, write a notice letter as soon as possible, and then send someone to deliver it to the chairman of Kowloon Motor Bus, Deng Zhaojian.

Soon, a notice letter was written. After confirming that it was correct, Su Zhixue stamped it with the seal of the general manager's office of Huanyu Investment Company, folded it, and put it in an envelope.

Originally, he planned to send someone there.

But after thinking about it, he decided it would be better to deliver it himself. This matter was very important and he would not feel at ease until it was handed over to Deng Zhaojian.

Kowloon Motor Bus's headquarters is located in Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon, which also has the largest bus depot in Hong Kong and can accommodate many buses.

When Su Zhixue arrived, it was already past five in the afternoon.

However, when I arrived at Kowloon Bus, Deng Zhaojian had not yet finished get off work.

Although Su Zhixue is not a big shot, Lin Haoran is a well-known entrepreneur. When he learned that Su Zhixue came on behalf of the business tycoon Lin Haoran, he did not encounter any trouble and met Deng Zhaojian smoothly.

"You are looking for me on behalf of Mr. Lin Haoran. What's the matter?" Deng Zhaojian, who had already reported the news to the security chief via the intercom, asked curiously after seeing Su Zhixue.

"Mr. Deng, I'm here on behalf of Huanyu Investment Company, which is the company under Mr. Lin Haoran, to meet you and hand you a notice letter!" After Su Zhixue finished speaking, he handed the envelope over with both hands.

"Notice letter?" Deng Zhaojian took the envelope with a puzzled look on his face.

It is no wonder that he was confused. After all, Kowloon Motor Bus had no business cooperation with any of Lin Haoran's companies.

As one of the founders of Kowloon Motor Bus, Deng Zhaojian is naturally not young. He is now 79 years old and is about to enter his eighties.

Although he has been managing Kowloon Motor Bus as the chairman of the board of directors, judging from the way his hands were shaking while holding the envelope, the old man's health was in a bad state.

Wearing reading glasses, Deng Zhaojian read it word by word.

He read very slowly, but even if he was slow, it wouldn't take him too long to read a notice.

After reading the notice, Deng Zhaojian put it on his desk. At this moment, his expression was no longer as calm as before.

With a shareholding rate of 36.83%, Deng Zhaojian naturally understood what this meant.

This incident happened too suddenly and there was no news about it before.

Although Kowloon Motor Bus has seen a surge in trading volume in recent months, as a listed company, they have no right to interfere in any transactions in the market. This is just normal market behavior and they will not be able to find anything even if they are investigated.

What's more, he has no intention of increasing his shareholding as he is not a major shareholder. Besides, he is old and ignores the changes in the stock market.

In fact, he had already guessed that a consortium had set its sights on Kowloon Motor Bus.

I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

The target of the acquisition turned out to be the new Chinese businessman who was keen on acquiring British companies.

"Since Mr. Lin already holds so many shares, what does he plan to do?" Deng Zhaojian gradually retracted his surprised expression and then asked seriously.

"Mr. Deng, our boss wants to take over Kowloon Motor Bus and become the boss of Kowloon Motor Bus!" Su Zhixue answered directly. (End of this chapter)
