In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

As the saying goes, if you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you.

Lin Haoran didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about poaching Li Jiacheng's most important future generals one after another.

Anyway, his relationship with Li Jiacheng was just average.

Isn’t that what the business world is like?
It is very common to instigate murder for one's own benefit, not to mention that he was just poaching people in advance.

It is estimated that even if Li Jiacheng met Huo Jianning and Ma Shiming in person today, he would not have thought that these two people would have had a great relationship with him. But in this world, Li Jiacheng has completely no fate with them.

The world has completely changed because of his appearance.

This may be the so-called butterfly effect!
That afternoon, Lin Haoran and Ma Shiming continued to chat.

Now that Ma Shiming has agreed to join the Jardine Matheson Group, Lin Haoran can feel free to express some of his inner thoughts.

He can choose not to interfere in the management of the Jardine Matheson Group, but in the next two years, the Jardine Matheson Group's development in the real estate sector must slow down!
What Lin Haoran didn't expect was that when Ma Shiming heard Lin Haoran say that there was a high possibility of a real estate crisis in Hong Kong within the next two years, he actually agreed!
Ma Shiming already had many ideas when he was a senior executive at Jardine Matheson.

However, he is not the boss after all, not the one with decision-making power, so some of his ideas are not recognized at all, such as the real estate crisis in Hong Kong.

His boss's distrust was also one of the important reasons why Ma Shiming resigned from Jardine Matheson.

When Lin Haoran learned that Ma Shiming had already predicted the real estate crisis in Hong Kong, he was completely impressed by Ma Shiming.

At the same time, he also gave a thumbs up to his decision to travel thousands of miles to find Ma Shiming to join the Swire Properties Group.

Although he knew that there would be a real estate crisis in Hong Kong in two years, that was because he was a time traveler.

And what about Ma Shiming? He was not a time traveler. He relied entirely on his own talents to foresee that a real estate crisis would occur in Hong Kong.

It can be seen now that in the whole of Hong Kong, there are probably not many people, even top bosses such as Shen Bi and Niu Bijian, who would not believe that any real estate crisis will break out in Hong Kong in the near future.

After persuading Ma Shimin, Lin Haoran decided not to stay in Singapore any longer. After resting for a night in Singapore, he boarded a flight to Hong Kong the next morning.

Ma Shiming did not follow Lin Haoran back to Hong Kong directly.

He has been in Hong Kong for some time. Before starting his own business, he even bought himself a house in Singapore and moved his family here.

Now that he has decided to return to Hong Kong again, he also needs to take care of his family affairs.

However, Ma Shiming also promised Lin Haoran that he would depart from Singapore and return to Hong Kong within three days.

By then, he will be able to take over the power of the Jardine Matheson Group.

Lin Haoran will be able to completely rest assured about the Jardine Matheson Group by then.

Moreover, with the joining of Ma Shiming, the time to drive Niu Bijian away will be accelerated, because Ma Shiming himself is the executive director of Jardine Matheson, and his understanding of Jardine Matheson is not much worse than that of Niu Bijian.

Of course, he would not force Niu Bijian to step down immediately. Now only Jardine Matheson can control those senior executives. If it were Ma Shiming, it might not be the case.

Although Ma Shiming had served as executive director in the past, his prestige in Jardine Matheson was far inferior to that of Niu Bijian, and he could hardly control these foreign senior executives.

However, it would not be possible to replace all these foreign senior officials with his trusted associates in a short period of time.

Therefore, even if Ma Shiming joined the Swire Group and even indirectly controlled Jardine Matheson, he would not be able to immediately oust Niu Bijian.

Lin Haoran had discussed all this with Ma Shiming yesterday afternoon.

Ma Shiming is a very far-sighted and sensible person. He deeply agrees with Lin Haoran's words and even agrees with them very much.

At 11:2 noon on November , an airplane landed smoothly at Kai Tak International Airport.

Lin Haoran stepped off the plane and walked on the land of Hong Kong, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

Although he did not go anywhere during this trip to Singapore, and did not even inspect his own branch in Singapore, he had achieved his goal by successfully and easily conquering Ma Shiming.

Now that he has just taken control of Jardine Matheson and the Hong Kong Land Group, he doesn't want to stay outside for too long.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

At 11:4 p.m. on November , Lin Haoran appeared at Kai Tak International Airport again.

However, this time he was not going to take a plane, but to come to pick someone up.

Ma Shiming returned to Hong Kong with his family.

Seeing that the big boss Lin Haoran came to pick him up in person, Ma Shiming was obviously moved.

In the past, he was just a senior executive of Jardine Matheson & Co. How could he have been valued so much?

"Mr. Ma, welcome back to Hong Kong, here!" Lin Haoran and Ma Shiming hugged each other gently. "Thank you!" Ma Shiming wanted to say a lot in his heart, and finally summed it up in two words.

"I know that when Mr. Ma went to Singapore, he sold his house in Hong Kong in order to strengthen his determination to start his own business. Now that he is back in Hong Kong, he may not have a place to settle down for the time being. But please rest assured, I have prepared a place for Mr. Ma to live. Mr. Ma, please follow me!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

Ma Shiming didn't expect that Lin Haoran thought so much about him, and he suddenly felt that his decision to return to Hong Kong was wise.

There were five people with him when he came back this time, including his wife and three children.

For this purpose, Lin Haoran specially sent two cars over this time.

Half an hour later, Lin Haoran appeared in front of a villa in the middle of the mountain area.

"Mr. Ma, you will live here from now on. It's less than two kilometers away from Kangle Building, which is convenient for your commute to get off work. At the same time, I have also arranged a private car for you." Lin Haoran pointed to the villa and said to Ma Shiming with a smile.

This villa is a property he owns. Since the beginning of this year, Lin Haoran has bought several villas in mid-mountain areas and mountaintops. These villas are rare properties, and even if the housing prices fall sharply in two years, he will not lose money at the price he paid when he bought them.

The total price of this villa in front of you is about two million Hong Kong dollars. As for the car inside, it is just a Mercedes-Benz with a total price of less than one hundred thousand dollars.

The villa is his own property and is now temporarily given to Ma Shiming for residence.

But if Ma Shiming's contribution is sufficient in the future, it is not impossible for him to transfer the property rights directly to Ma Shiming in order to bribe this talented general.

In Lin Haoran's opinion, Ma Shiming's talent is a priceless treasure!
The wealth that he will bring to him in the future will definitely be much more than he can imagine!

Although Lin Haoran knew which companies were high-quality, after he rose to prominence in the business world, he began to buy them non-stop.

But he also knew very well that he did not have outstanding management talents, so capable professional managers became particularly important.

Otherwise, no matter how good a company is, if it is not well managed, this high-quality company will gradually decline due to poor management.

Although Ma Shiming has been persuaded to join, he will only return the favor double if he is treated sincerely.

Therefore, it is necessary to win people's hearts.

"Daddy, are we really going to live here in the future?" Ma Shiming's youngest son looked at the villa in front of him with surprise, and it was obvious that he loved the living environment here very much.

The other two children also looked at the three-story villa in front of them with surprise and anticipation.

Although here, although there is neither the quietness of the mountaintop nor the view of the mountaintop villa, it is obvious that this place also has its advantages, such as being closer to Central and having more of a sense of worldly life.

Although Ma Shiming once served as the executive director of Jardine Matheson, he resigned after a short term. During his more than ten years of career, he also went to universities in the UK and the US for further studies. Therefore, his income over the years was not as high as the outside world imagined.

When in Hong Kong, Ma Shiming's family only lived in a high-rise apartment. When will his children have the opportunity to experience such a luxurious villa life?
"Mr. Lin, I have not yet officially joined the Jardine Matheson Group, nor have I made any substantial contribution to you or the company. I feel really unworthy of your generous gift!" Ma Shiming said with a wry smile.

This debt of favor is really hard to repay!

Lin Haoran smiled and said, "If I don't let you owe me a favor, how can I make you do things for me willingly?"
"Mr. Ma, your talent deserves my courtesy. Please don't be polite. I have already arranged daily necessities and electrical appliances in the villa for you. You can just move your luggage in and move in!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

Ma Shiming couldn't help but feel a strange sense of gratitude when listening to Lin Haoran's words. He was very clear about the weight of this courtesy.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said to Lin Haoran solemnly: "Mr. Lin, I am deeply moved by your trust and support.

Please believe that I will use all my talents and efforts to repay you and the Group. In the days to come, no matter the challenges or opportunities at work, I will go all out and never let you down. "

Lin Haoran nodded with satisfaction. Wasn't everything he did just to make Ma Shimin truly return to his heart?

Now, it is clear that his many goodwill gestures have achieved their purpose.

He patted Ma Shiming on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, I believe in your ability and determination. Now let's go in and take a look at your new home!"

As he spoke, Lin Haoran walked into the villa first, followed closely by Ma Shiming's family.

The interior of the villa is decorated in a luxurious yet cozy way, with all kinds of daily necessities and electrical appliances available, and it is obviously carefully arranged.

Ma Shiming's wife and children excitedly moved around the rooms, with happy smiles on their faces.

Ma Shiming looked at this scene, his heart filled with gratitude.

He knew that all of this was specially prepared for him by Lin Haoran so that he could work with peace of mind.

How could he not keep this kindness in mind?
A day later, Lin Haoran and Ma Shiming appeared at the headquarters office of the Hong Kong Land Group in Kangle Building at the same time.

At the same time, the Swire Group officially announced a major news!
From now on, Ma Shiming will serve as the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Manager of the Hong Kong Land Group, and will be in charge of the management of the Hong Kong Land Group.

Originally, Lin Haoran planned to completely retreat behind the scenes and even hand over the position of the head boss to Ma Shiming.

However, under Ma Shiming's persuasion, he finally retained this identity. (End of this chapter)
