In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Coming out of the Governor's Mansion, Lin Haoran was in a very happy mood.

The thing he was most worried about was finally solved, and he no longer had any worries.

Next, it’s time to take the most important step.

It was already October 1980, and the investments made by either Jardine Matheson or Swire Properties were not excessive.

But after 1981, the two companies, especially the Hong Kong Land Group, began to expand blindly, resulting in serious losses in many investment projects.

This is exactly the situation that Lin Haoran doesn't want to see.

Therefore, it is time to take over Jardine Matheson and the Hong Kong Land Development as soon as possible!
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Lin Haoran went directly to Wanqing Building.

As soon as I went up to the first floor lobby from the underground garage, I saw a lot of reporters gathered outside, hoping to meet Lin Haoran here.

What happened yesterday has already caused a sensation in the city, and their newspaper sales have also increased significantly as a result.

At this moment, they naturally hope to get more useful news from Lin Haoran.

"Mr. Lin, please wait, I want to ask..."

"Boss Lin, sorry to bother you for a few minutes."

"Boss Lin, what are your plans for Jardine Matheson?"

……

Seeing Lin Haoran appear in the lobby on the first floor, more than 20 reporters rushed up to interview Lin Haoran.

However, they were all stopped by the security guards as quickly as possible.

Despite this, these people stretched out their microphones in an attempt to get Lin Haoran to stop and accept their interviews.

To their delight, Lin Haoran turned around and faced them.

At this moment, all the reporters thought that Lin Haoran was ready to be interviewed by them.

"Everyone, you can go to Kangle Building first. I will be there soon. I have something important to announce!" Lin Haoran said to the group of reporters from a few meters away.

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the reporters, turned around and entered the elevator, ready to go up to the headquarters office of Wanqing Group, leaving behind a group of confused reporters.

"Connaught Building? Isn't this the headquarters of the Hong Kong Land Group?"

"Could it be that Mr. Lin has plans to target the Hong Kong Land Group?"

Many people have already thought of the key points.

So, these reporters couldn't help but get excited. Perhaps, there would be another good show to watch today.

Not long after, all the reporters in Wanqing Building left, and they moved in a group to their next destination, Kangle Building, a few hundred meters away.

No one would think that Lin Haoran would lie. Facing so many reporters, if he tricked them into going to Kangle Building and nothing happened in the end, it would be equivalent to offending all the media.

So, since Lin Haoran asked them to go to Kangle Building and wait, it must be that something really important is happening.

Lin Haoran quickly arrived at Burton's office.

At this moment, Burton had just hung up the phone. When he saw Lin Haoran, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Boss, you are finally here. Some of those reporters have been waiting for more than an hour."

"I have sent them all away!" Lin Haoran waved his hand and said.

"These people are really hard to get rid of, they are such a hassle!" Burton sighed.

"Without further ado, I plan to ask you to assist me in announcing the acquisition of the Land Group. You should get ready quickly and bring the necessary personnel with you. We have to rush to Kangle Building!" Lin Haoran ordered directly.

"Boss, you are finally going to announce this news, congratulations! Okay, I will go and prepare it now, bringing everyone from the legal department and the finance department, which will be enough for you to take over the initial management of the Jardine Matheson Group.

Of course, if you want to completely control the Landmark Group, you have to slowly replace the top management with your trusted people, which is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time." Burton said with a hint of surprise.

Although he had no obligation to assist Lin Haoran in taking over the Real Estate Group, considering that Wanqing Group was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lin Haoran, he was ultimately just an employee under Lin Haoran, so he naturally had to give his boss this face.

The boss has spoken, so we have to help!
"Well, get ready as soon as possible, I'll wait for you!" Lin Haoran nodded.

Although this matter seems to be in a hurry, Lin Haoran has actually been waiting for a long time. Now, he has finally put his last worry to rest, and he is no longer willing to delay any longer.

"Okay, boss. I'll prepare it right away. You don't have to wait long." After saying this, Burton went out to do his thing.

At the same time, the Kangle Building, which was several hundred meters away, was extremely lively at this moment.

Many reporters gathered in the first floor lobby or outside the building.

Moreover, there was a steady stream of reporters heading to the Kangle Building.

Hong Kong is only this small, and these media are the most informed.

Therefore, when Lin Haoran asked these reporters to come to Kangle Building, it didn't take long for the news to spread to many media reporters. On the 51st floor, in the office of the general manager of the Landmark Group, Bao Fuda was handling official business.

As the Hong Kong business giant is a giant in Hong Kong, Bao Fuda naturally has a lot of work to deal with every day.

Just as he was immersed in his own busy work, the phone next to him rang.

"Hey."

"Mr. Bao Fuda, there are a large number of reporters gathered downstairs." His subordinates reported to him.

"A large number of reporters? What do they want to interview?" Bao Fuda said with a puzzled look on his face.

"I have asked them, and they said they didn't know what was going on. They only knew that it was Mr. Lin Haoran who called them over and said that Mr. Lin Haoran would come here later and there would be important news to announce!" the subordinate continued to report.

"Okay, I understand. Let the security guard maintain order!" Bao Fuda instructed.

After hanging up the phone, Bao Fuda couldn't help but frown.

Why did Lin Haoran call these reporters here?
This matter is too important for him to ignore.

Moreover, since Lin Haoran was involved, the matter was not something he could decide alone. After all, Lin Haoran and Jardine Matheson had just had a conflict the day before.

Thinking of this, he made two consecutive calls, one to Niu Bijian, the boss of Jardine Matheson, and the other to Henry Keswick, the representative of the British consortium of Jardine Matheson.

After telling them exactly what happened downstairs, they both said they would come over here immediately.

On the other side, Henry Keswick was sitting in the hotel. He originally planned to take the evening flight directly back to London, England.

In his opinion, his goal would have been achieved by driving Lin Haoran out of the core management of Jardine Matheson.

Next, things here will be handled by his representative in Hong Kong, and he can control it remotely.

However, at this time, Lin Haoran said that he had something to discuss in the Kangle Building, which made him feel nervous and a bad thought arose in his mind.

"Cancel your flight tonight. Also, go to the Kangle Building now!" After walking out of the hotel, Henry Keswick went straight to his secretary and said to her.

Although he had a bad thought in his heart, he didn't know what had happened, so he was completely unable to prepare.

Now, we can only go to Kangle Building to see what Lin Haoran is up to.

Wanqing Building!

"Boss, I have gathered dozens of people. These people are enough to help you take over the Jardine Matheson Group. We can set off at any time!" Lin Haoran was looking at a September financial report of the Wanqing Group. At this time, Burton walked in from outside and reported to him.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go!" Lin Haoran said directly.

I looked at the time and it was only around eleven o'clock in the morning.

So, Lin Haoran took a group of people and headed to Kangle Building in a mighty manner.

The Rolls-Royce led the way, followed by several private cars and a bus. Twenty minutes later, they appeared in the outdoor parking space of Kangle Building.

Looking up, Lin Haoran looked at the 52-story skyscraper and felt a sense of pride.

This building will be his from now on!
Standing 52 stories high in Central Hong Kong, the Connaught Building was built and owned by the well-known major landlord, Hong Kong Land Development, in 1973.

The exterior wall of the Kangle Building combines concrete and paper stone materials, with an additional layer of metal wrapping. This design not only gives the building a stronger sense of modernity, but also effectively avoids the potential safety hazards caused by the falling of paper stone.

As the first skyscraper in Hong Kong, the Connaught Building is famous for its iconic round window design and has become an indispensable landmark building in Hong Kong. Even after decades of ups and downs, its landmark status remains as solid as ever.

The round "moon-shaped" windows on the building cleverly integrate the long-standing architectural aesthetics of China. Standing in front of the window, you can see the sparkling Victoria Harbour and the magnificent view of Victoria Peak, which is breathtakingly beautiful.

It not only ushered in a new era of skyscrapers in Hong Kong, but also became the tallest building in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia in the 70s.

Just a few months ago, the top spot of Connaught Building was taken away by Hopewell Centre in Wan Chai.

Despite this, Connaught Building is now the second tallest building in Hong Kong.

Moreover, because it is located in the most core commercial area of ​​Central, the value of Connaught Building, the second tallest building in Hong Kong, is still much higher than the new tallest building, Hopewell Centre!

Location is very important!

Wan Chai is obviously difficult to compare with Central, and its real value is even lower than that of Central!
Lin Haoran, along with dozens of people, appeared in the lobby on the first floor of Kangle Building in a mighty manner.

The security guards at Kangle Building wanted to stop them, but when the person in charge saw that the leader was the big boss Lin Haoran, he immediately stopped the security guards' behavior and allowed Lin Haoran to appear in the lobby on the first floor with a group of people.

Even ordinary people can come in the lobby. He can't stop Lin Haoran, the business tycoon!
His appearance quickly attracted the attention of reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

Immediately, reporters gathered around.

"Everyone, don't worry. I will announce it later. Wait for me to go upstairs and talk to Mr. Bao Fuda first!" Seeing the reporters' enthusiasm, Lin Haoran stopped them. (End of this chapter)
