In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Although he has sufficient funds now, the money is ultimately obtained through loans and must be repaid in the future.

If possible, it would be best if you could make some money on your own.

In the blink of an eye, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

This point in time marks the official closing of Hong Kong's stock market today.

At 4:15, Su Zhixue came to Lin Haoran's office with a report.

“Boss, we caught everyone off guard and directly raised the share price to HK$74 per share. That is, after raising the total market value of Hong Kong Land Group to HK$33.78 billion, our shareholding directly reached 34%. We are just a little bit away from holding % of the shares!
In addition, after we pushed up the stock price, we noticed that the other party did not take any further action for the time being, but we did not know whether they would continue to take action tomorrow. In addition, we suddenly looked at and absorbed shares, causing the transaction price of the Jardine Matheson Group to rise sharply.

Therefore, many stockholders also withdrew their orders, fearing that they would lose money, which resulted in a decrease in the number of shares of the Hong Kong Land Development Group on the stock market. Now, it is more difficult to acquire the shares of the Hong Kong Land Development Group. "Su Zhixue handed the report to Lin Haoran while also talking about the key points.

"33.78%?" Lin Haoran repeated with a smile on his face.

What does this mean?
It means that the shares of the Jardine Matheson Group controlled by him are close to 40%!
As long as he absorbs a little more, the shares of the Jardine Matheson Group that he controls will directly exceed 40%.

After all, Hong Kong Electric Group owns 6% of the shares, which is also controlled by him.

After taking the report, he read it and replied with a smile: "You did a great job!"

The shares of the Swire Properties Group reached 33.78%, while the shares of Jardine Matheson did not increase at all and remained at around 20%.

After all, after the news of his acquisition of Jardine Matheson spread, the price of this stock has been high.

Since it was difficult to take over Jardine Matheson, he naturally would not be the scapegoat.

Therefore, today, Universal Investment Company did not take any action against Jardine Matheson.

There is nothing to worry about regarding the Jardine Matheson Group.

With sufficient funds, even if Jardine Matheson wanted to resist, it would be useless.

As for Jardine Matheson, although he knew that the probability of a successful acquisition was very small, he had no intention of stopping this drama.

Because there is still a lot of value in using Jardine Matheson.

For example, the shares of Jardine Matheson that he holds!

For example, the shares of Aigo Corporation?

Is there any relationship between Jardine Matheson and Evergo?

The two seem to be completely unrelated and have nothing to do with each other.

But in Lin Haoran's opinion, the Jardine Matheson acquisition incident that is now causing a stir in the city can still be related to Aigo.

All the evidence provided by 13K was handed over to Su Zhixue, who was asked to arrange the follow-up work.

After reading the evidence in his hands, Su Zhixue was shocked.

Unexpectedly, it was actually Ruan Jingcheng who did it.

Today, Ruan Jingcheng did not come to work, and Su Zhixue found it strange.

Later, Ruan Jingcheng's family called and told him that Ruan Jingcheng had not returned home yesterday or today and was missing.

Su Zhixue was very confused at that time.

Now seeing the evidence in his hands, he clearly understood that it was the boss who had done the thing to him.

"Boss, don't worry. I will issue an announcement in the company to warn everyone about Ruan Jingcheng's matter. I will also contact the police station and will make Ruan Jingcheng pay the price he deserves!" Su Zhixue said solemnly.

At the same time, he admired his boss even more in his heart.

It was unexpected that he was able to accurately find the traitor among so many people in the company in such a short time.

If he were asked to do this, he knew that he would never be able to find it, and would eventually have to hand it over to the police station.

However, given the capabilities of the police department, it is probably difficult to find the real mastermind behind the incident.

Lin Haoran nodded, said something to Su Zhixue, and left the company.

He basically stayed in Wanqing Building during the day today, and now it was time for him to talk to Niu Bijian.

Get in the private car and let Li Weidong drive to Jardine House.

In less than ten minutes, Lin Haoran appeared in the underground parking lot of Jardine House.

After going up to the lobby on the first floor, Lin Haoran wanted to go directly to Niu Bijian's office, but was stopped by the building's security chief. "Mr. Lin, do you have an appointment? If not, we need to report to the boss." The security chief said directly.

In Hong Kong, there is almost no one who doesn't know Lin Haoran, including foreigners living in Hong Kong.

Although the security chief was also a foreigner, he recognized Lin Haoran's identity at a glance.

He naturally also knew about the conflict between Jardine Matheson and Lin Haoran, so he stopped Lin Haoran without hesitation.

"I am a major shareholder of Jardine Matheson, and it is only natural for me to come here. What reason do you have to stop me?" Lin Haoran crossed his arms and said to the security chief.

"I'm sorry, this is my job responsibility. Please forgive me, Mr. Lin." The security chief said helplessly.

"In that case, then you can contact Niu Bijian. I want to see if he really intends not to see me!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

There were quite a few people on the first floor of Jardine House at this moment, and there were even some reporters wandering around, waiting for useful information or interviewing some senior executives of Jardine Matheson. They did not expect to see this scene.

Suddenly, more than a dozen reporters swarmed in, and even the security guards were unable to stop them.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Niu Bijian said that it is impossible for you to successfully acquire Jardine Matheson. What do you think about this?" A reporter impatiently handed the microphone to Lin Haoran and asked.

Seeing this, Lin Haoran did not refuse the reporters' questions and accepted the interview under the gaze of many Jardine Matheson employees.

"Don't jump to conclusions. We Chinese have an idiom called 'who will win the game?' Until the last moment, who can determine whether I can successfully acquire Jardine Matheson?" Lin Haoran responded with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, we are all very interested. Where does your funding come from?" another reporter asked.

It is really unbelievable that Lin Haoran has previously acquired Ching Chau Cement Company, Hong Kong Electric Group, China Gas Company and Kowloon Motor Bus. Now he has set his sights on Jardine Matheson, which is known as the "King of Foreign Firms".

At the same time, everyone was even more curious about where Lin Haoran's funds came from. Could it be that, as everyone speculated, he had the support of Citibank?
"I'm not afraid to tell you this. In fact, I borrowed 20 billion Hong Kong dollars from Huifeng Bank two months ago!" Lin Haoran replied with a smile.

There was an uproar at the scene. No one expected that the source of Lin Haoran's funds this time was actually from Huifeng Bank, but this time it was just a loan.

This explains why he had so much money to buy Jardine Matheson shares.

"Mr. Lin, since your funds are borrowed, such a large amount of money, what if your acquisition of Jardine Matheson fails and the loan funds expire, how will you deal with this situation?" a reporter asked.

"Failure? I believe I can't fail. As for the funding issue, I do have some difficulties, otherwise I wouldn't have taken out a loan. Of course, I also have the confidence.

As you all should know, Aigo was successfully listed before, and its current market value has reached more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars. I currently hold % of Aigo's shares. In order to make the acquisition of Jardine Matheson more certain, I plan to find a suitable buyer for the Aigo I hold.

In this way, my funding problem will naturally be reduced by half, and my confidence in acquiring Jardine Matheson will be even stronger!" Lin Haoran directly leaked a bombshell news.

That's right, he took advantage of the presence of these reporters and spread the news that he wanted to sell shares of Aigo.

In this way, it naturally makes sense.

After all, compared with the shares of Amego, it is obvious that the acquisition of Jardine Matheson would be ten or a hundred times more important. In this case, if anyone is given the choice, they will choose Jardine Matheson first.

The two are totally not on the same level.

As for Liu Luanxiong, he also has a way to appease him.

Why did Lin Haoran want to list Aigo?

Isn't it just to find opportunities to cash out while Aigo is still at its peak?

Before this, he had been considering finding the right time to release the news and look for a suitable buyer.

Now, this situation is perfect.

Lin Haoran's news immediately made the reporters at the scene overjoyed. It was big news.

Unexpectedly, Lin Haoran actually planned to sell shares in Aigo Company.

After all, the listing of Aigo Company caused a lot of sensation some time ago, and its stock price eventually continued to break historical records. Today, the stock price of Aigo Company has even reached more than 22 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The reporters quickly wrote down the news. They had already thought that when tomorrow's news came out, everyone would learn that Lin Haoran had to sell his shares in Aigo in order to acquire Jardine Matheson. This would be a very eye-catching news content!
Jardine House is not just for employees of Jardine Matheson & Co. At least half of this building, which has more than 30 floors, is rented out.

Therefore, more and more people gathered on Lin Haoran's side, and even the building security could no longer maintain order at the scene.

Many people heard what he said in the interview word for word.

Therefore, there is no need to wait for the reporters to report it in the newspapers; the news will be disseminated on a large scale today.

"Mr. Lin, as we all know, the British financial group holds a lot of shares. It is too difficult for you to successfully acquire Jardine Matheson. Many experts have analyzed that the possibility of your acquisition of Jardine Matheson is not high. So besides sufficient financial resources, what other reasons make you so confident?" A reporter continued to ask. (End of this chapter)
