In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Li Ming called him and the content was nothing more than what they discussed in the morning.

Sure enough, Lin Haoran soon heard the news he was expecting.

"Mr. Lin, I have discussed with my family members about selling TVB shares to you. After my persuasion, they have agreed in principle to transfer all TVB shares they hold to you.

As for the price, after discussion, they hope to calculate it based on the total market value of HK$2.5 million. In other words, they hope to sell this 24% stake at a price of HK$ million. Mr. Lin, what do you think of this proposal?"

Li Ming did not beat around the bush and directly stated the result of their discussion in front of his brothers and sisters-in-law.

"Mr. Li, I accept this price. If possible, I hope to sign a share transfer contract with you immediately. What do you think?" Lin Haoran couldn't help feeling a little surprised after hearing this.

So he decided to settle the matter as soon as possible.

Originally, he estimated that he would be satisfied if he could acquire TVB's shares for HK$100 to 200 million. Unexpectedly, the other party only offered HK$60 million, which was much lower than his expectations.

With such an attractive price, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

At this moment, Lin Haoran was full of hope to sign a contract with the Li family as soon as possible to finalize the matter.

After all, industry tycoon Run Run Shaw is also watching closely and may intervene at any time.

Therefore, the sooner this matter is signed, the better.

"Mr. Lin is quite straightforward. Since you are so anxious, let's do this, Mr. Lin. Come to Lee Garden Hotel now. I'll be waiting for you on the 12th floor. My brothers and sisters-in-law are here now." Li Mingze was also surprised at Lin Haoran's straightforwardness.

Since both sides are so straightforward, there is no need to delay any further.

"Okay, Mr. Li, please wait for half an hour, I'll be there soon!" Lin Haoran didn't want to waste time and responded directly.

"Well, during this time, I will ask the Li family's legal advisor to prepare the equity transfer contract, so that when Mr. Lin arrives, he can directly check the contents of the contract, and if there is no problem, he can sign it immediately." Li Mingze also acted decisively.

After hanging up the phone, a smile suddenly broke out on Lin Haoran's face.

Unexpectedly, becoming a major shareholder of TVB was so easy. It was much easier than he had imagined.

Originally, he thought there would be some twists and turns, but now it seems that he was completely overthinking.

Although he does not have 60 million Hong Kong dollars on hand at the moment, he is not in a hurry.

Tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars are not a big problem for him.

Huifeng Bank will be able to approve a loan of HK$20 billion for him by tomorrow at the latest.

Even if something goes wrong with the loan, he can always allocate 60 million Hong Kong dollars from his own company for emergency use.

This amount of money is really just a drop in the bucket for Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran was indeed surprised and delighted that he could become a major shareholder of TVB with only 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

No matter what, this is a good thing after all and it can save a lot of money.

Fortunately, he was not asked to make an offer, otherwise he could have generously offered HK$100 million to buy out the TVB shares held by the Li family.

When I got home, I had to go out again before I even had time to sit on the sofa.

But Lin Haoran didn't feel tired at the moment. He called Li Weiguo and Li Weidong, and hurriedly left the villa and went straight to Wan Chai.

It was said to be a half-hour wait, but in fact it was only about twenty minutes before Lin Haoran's Rolls-Royce arrived at the underground parking lot of Lee Garden International Hotel again.

Under the guidance of the staff, Lin Haoran quickly arrived at the 12th floor after getting on the elevator.

It is obvious that the 12th floor is no longer a hotel area, but an office area, and a high-rise office area at that.

Walking through the corridor, you can see the nameplates on the doors of various offices: Deputy General Manager's Office, Financial Director's Office, General Manager's Office, Meeting Room...

After walking about ten meters in the corridor, I finally arrived at the door of an office.

The nameplate on the door reads: Chairman's Office.

The staff knocked on the door, which was already open.

There were five people who appeared in front of Lin Haoran, all of whom he knew. They were Li Mingze, Li Lu Yanqun and others.

At this moment, several people came out to greet Lin Haoran.

"Mr. Lin, please come in and sit down." Li Ming said with a smile.

Lin Haoran nodded and walked in.

The office is not small, covering more than one hundred square meters.

So, the office doesn't seem cramped for several people.

Lin Haoran shook hands with several core members of the Li family one by one and exchanged a few words before they sat down.

"Everyone, I agree to the price you proposed. Let's not waste time and finalize the equity transfer contract. I will transfer 60 million Hong Kong dollars to your bank account within two days!" After sitting down, Lin Haoran spoke directly.

He did not intend to talk too much about other irrelevant things with the Li family. After all, the most important thing now was to sign the equity transfer contract so that TVB's equity would not be lost. "Mr. Lin, this is the draft contract that our legal advisor of the Li family just prepared. Please see if there is anything that needs to be modified. We can discuss it again." Li Ming handed over the contract they had prepared during this period of time.

The Li family's businesses are spread all over Hong Kong, and they sign countless contracts every year. Therefore, drafting a share transfer contract is a piece of cake for the Li family's legal advisor.

Lin Haoran took the contract handed over by Li Mingze, looked at it carefully, and found no problems, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's sign it according to this contract!"

Although he is young, he does know everything, especially about equity transfer contracts. He has signed several of them and is very familiar with them.

"Okay, since there is no problem, I'll have someone print it out right away." Li Mingze said with a smile.

Since the shares of the Li family are held by four people, Lin Haoran needs to sign equity transfer contracts with each of them separately.

The contract signing went smoothly. Half an hour later, Lin Haoran had received four equity transfer contracts.

"Mr. Li, this cooperation is very pleasant. I like your Li family's straightforwardness the most!" After putting the contract into his bag, Lin Haoran laughed.

This was not the first time he had worked with the Li family. Last time, Li Ming sold him shares in the China Gas Company, allowing him to successfully win the competition with Jardine Matheson.

This time, he successfully became the major shareholder of TVB.

Therefore, he still has a good impression of Li Jia.

As for how Li's ancestors made their fortune, what does it have to do with him?

Just like the Ma family started out by selling flour, this did not stop Lin Haoran from cooperating with the Ma family and purchasing the Oriental Daily from them.

"It's a pleasure working with you, Mr. Lin. We also hope that both sides can have more opportunities for cooperation. The Li family is eager to take the relationship with Mr. Lin to a higher level!" Mr. Li also laughed heartily.

Li Mingze's move is undoubtedly paving the way for the future of the Li family.

Establishing a good relationship with Lin Haoran can at least add a strong backing for the Li family's future, because Li Mingze has keenly realized that Lin Haoran's future achievements are by no means as limited as what he sees now.

Perhaps the tiny place of Hong Kong will eventually be unable to restrain the steps of a big man like Lin Haoran. Sooner or later, he will create huge waves in the world's business ocean and become a giant in the world's business community.

The passing of his third brother Li Xiaohe also made Li Mingze think deeply.

The older generation of the Li family have all entered their twilight years.

He is now 75 years old, and it is hard to predict how long he will live.

Although his fourth and fifth brothers are only in their sixties, and his seventh brother is still in his prime at only fifty, he and his third brother Li Xiaohe are the only ones of his generation who have made considerable achievements in business.

Now that his third brother has passed away, he can't help but worry about what will happen to the future of the Li family if he and his third brother are no longer around.

Although there are several young talents in the next generation of the Li family who have shown potential in business, they are still young and lack the experience to take on major responsibilities. They need more training and tempering.

Therefore, Li Mingze is now filled with deep worries and unremitting plans for the future of the Li family.

When people get old, they tend to have wild thoughts and all kinds of worries.

Especially for a patriarch of a large family like him, there are so many things to consider.

When doing various things, you need to weigh them to see if they will benefit the family.

In fact, although Li Mingze is also a well-known boss in Hong Kong, even Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and others will give him some face, but his life is actually very tiring. He has too many things to consider every day.

"How about this, Mr. Lin, you can have dinner here tonight. We will go back and get you the TVB share certificate." Li Mingqia said.

"Aren't you going to give it to me before I transfer the money to you?" Lin Haoran said with a surprised smile.

"We still trust Mr. Lin!" Li Rongsen continued the topic.

"Okay, thank you for your help. I will transfer the money to your respective accounts tomorrow at the latest!" Lin Haoran said with satisfaction.

Once you sign a contract, you can still go back on your word. The most you have to do is pay liquidated damages.

But once the share certificate is handed over to him, the Li family will have no room for regrets.

So their straightforwardness naturally brought only benefits and no harm to Lin Haoran.

Next, Lin Haoran and Li Ming started chatting in the office, while Li Rongsen, Li Lu Yanqun and others went back to get their TVB equity certificates.

Such important documents are usually kept in safes, and it is definitely impossible for others to deliver them.

That night, Lin Haoran had a sumptuous dinner at the Lee Garden International Hotel.

He also got 24% of TVB's shares.

From this moment on, without anyone else knowing, he had become the largest shareholder of TVB.

I just don’t know how Run Run Shaw would react when he learns the news?

Lin Haoran was somewhat curious about this. (End of this chapter)
