In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

In the villa on Shixun Road, Lin Haoran personally sent Guo Henian and Guo Xiaohan to the car, then turned around and returned to the mansion.

He felt that he had given a clear response to Guo Xiaohan.

As for his future fate with Guo Xiaohan, Lin Haoran has already made up his mind. He decided to leave it to time to decide and let everything take its course.

One night passes in a flash.

Lin Haoran encountered a carefully planned assassination attempt. He did not want to make it known to the whole nation, so the news was little known among ordinary people, but it had spread widely in Hong Kong's upper class society.

This incident has attracted widespread attention from the upper class, and many wealthy people have become more vigilant and strengthened their personal safety protection measures.

After all, although Lin Haoran managed to escape the murder, if it were them, they would probably not be able to escape.

Today, not only is his intelligence organization trying its best to track down the person who planned the assassination, but even the 13K gang, which claims to have a hundred thousand members, has quietly launched an investigation.

Although the mastermind behind the incident might be hard to catch, once any clues are found about the person directly responsible for installing the bomb, they will never be let go. Lin Haoran will never allow himself to be seen as a soft persimmon!

Ma Shiming's takeover of the Hutchison Whampoa Group was extremely smooth. In just two or three days, he did not encounter any difficult problems. Instead, he quickly won the broad support of the original middle and senior management of the Hutchison Whampoa Group.

Originally, senior executives of the British financial consortium were more concentrated in Jardine Matheson, while the Hong Kong Land Group was more led by professional managers.

In addition, Ma Shiming was still the executive director of Jardine Matheson two or three months ago, and enjoyed a certain reputation within the Jardine Matheson Group.

In addition, Ma Shiming's identity as a foreigner and his work experience in Jardine Matheson for more than ten years made him more adept at taking over the Swire Group, and the entire takeover process went extremely smoothly.

Lin Haoran didn't step out of the house for the whole day.

Before the secret guard team was officially formed, Lin Haoran decided to keep a low profile and minimize going out.

After all, although the murder attempt has failed, it is still unknown whether the other party will give up or is planning the next action.

In the evening, after dinner, Lin Haoran returned to the third floor and turned on the TV.

At this time, TVB's Jade Channel was broadcasting a popular program - the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.

This beauty pageant has been going on for nearly four months, with the audition phase lasting three months.

It was not until the 26th of last month that the Miss Hong Kong competition officially entered the live television broadcast stage.

However, at that time, Lin Haoran was busy competing for key projects from Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Holdings. Naturally, he was too busy to pay attention to activities like Miss Hong Kong.

The finals will be held in the middle of the month.

And tonight, the fierce competition in the semi-finals is taking place.

As a time traveler, Lin Haoran didn't know much about this year's Miss Hong Kong.

However, from the performance of the contestants, he could vaguely feel that there seemed to be no particularly outstanding beauties among this year's Miss Hong Kong, because as far as he knew, no contestant of this year had made a name for himself.

TVB has implemented a series of drastic reforms since Run Run Shaw took over.

Every time there was a reform, Run Run Shaw would personally call Lin Haoran to seek the opinion of Lin Haoran, the largest shareholder, and Lin Haoran always gave his full support.

He is very clear that under Run Run Shaw's leadership, TVB's ratings will surely increase steadily, and in the future it will occupy the top spot in Hong Kong for a long time, and even go international.

Of course, all of this will take time to develop, and TVB’s changes may not be significant in the short term.

But it is undeniable that as TVB's signature program, Miss Hong Kong's influence cannot be underestimated.

Since the Miss Hong Kong pageant was launched in 1980, every time the show was broadcast, the ratings have always easily surpassed those of ATV, becoming the focus of heated discussion among the audience.

On the TV screen, the beauties in bikinis presented a visual feast to the audience with their proud figures.

Coupled with the interesting question-and-answer sessions and colorful talent shows, the program undoubtedly adds a lot of appeal. It is not difficult to understand why the ratings are so high and it is deeply loved by the public.

However, for Lin Haoran, who is already the richest man in Hong Kong, and in his previous life, through the live broadcast rooms of major video platforms, he has already seen all the beauties in the world and witnessed the charm of countless top beauties.

Therefore, these beauties who are so beautiful in the eyes of ordinary people seem a little ordinary to Lin Haoran.

So, Lin Haoran just watched the show casually and did not show much interest in these beauties.

As a major shareholder of TVB, if he just showed the slightest hint of interest, these beauties would probably all be vying to get close to him.

But Lin Haoran is extremely picky now, and not every woman can catch his eye.

If she doesn't have a stunning appearance and can't arouse his interest at all, he will definitely not even take a second look at her.

On the afternoon of November 11, Lin Haoran was sitting upright in a chair reading a book when the phone in the study suddenly rang.

"Mr. Lin, we in 13K have caught the man who placed the time bomb based on limited clues." The voice of 13K member Hu Xuyong came from the other end of the phone.

"Did you find out who ordered this?" Lin Haoran asked in surprise.

As expected, 13K is very powerful, worthy of being a society with members. "No, the interrogation results show that the other party does not seem to know the mastermind behind it, and is just doing it for the money." Hu Xuyong reported in detail.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will contact Mr. Cui Zilong of Oriental Press and ask him to discuss this matter with you further." Lin Haoran said after a little thought.

Asking Cui Zilong to bring people over was also to confirm whether the other party was really the murderer who planted the time bomb.

After all, he didn't know whether Hu Xiuyong would just pick someone at random to be the murderer.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, you can ask Mr. Cui to contact me." Hu Xuyong responded readily.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Haoran immediately dialed Cui Zilong's number.

Cui Zilong just went to Manila, Philippines two days ago and carefully selected twenty elites.

In addition, he also hired a security expert from the United States at a high price to provide training for these elites.

These twenty people are not the final lineup. Five people will be eliminated after screening, and finally fifteen people will be selected to form a secret guard team, which will be responsible for the safety protection of Lin Haoran.

After completing this series of arrangements, Cui Zilong returned to Hong Kong this morning.

After telling Cui Zilong the whole story, Lin Haoran said no more and continued to immerse himself in the unfinished book.

As night fell, Cui Zilong finally called.

"Boss, we have sent people to confirm that the man is undoubtedly the murderer. At the same time, the car that appeared in the underground parking lot of Wanqing Building has also been found. After several interrogations this afternoon, we finally confirmed that he really didn't know who instructed him to do it. He only knew that he took on this task through the black market for a commission of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars." Cui Zilong reported in detail.

Lin Haoran was not surprised after hearing this. Since the mastermind dared to do this, he must have made full preparations and would not let others find out the truth easily.

If he wanted to assassinate someone, he would also plan carefully to ensure that no one could trace his instructions.

Although he felt a little regretful, Lin Haoran was mentally prepared, so he did not have too many emotional fluctuations.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Haoran nodded slightly in response.

"Boss, what should we do with this murderer? Should we hand him over directly to the police, or do we have other arrangements?" Cui Zilong asked cautiously.

“Whether to hand him over to the police is up to you based on the circumstances, but my only request is that I don’t want him to survive this month, and the handling process must be clean and efficient, without leaving any hidden dangers for us.

In addition, the final fate of the murderer can be announced at an appropriate time, so as to serve as a warning to those who are ready to harm me. "Lin Haoran's words were filled with unquestionable chill.

If you dare to attack him, he will never show mercy.

His life is not something that others can easily touch.

In this era, the so-called law is often just a paper tiger in the upper-class circles.

"I understand, boss. I will handle it properly and give you a satisfactory explanation!" Cui Zilong replied firmly.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Haoran felt unusually calm.

He never makes enemies on his own initiative, but once someone offends him, he will never let it go easily.

Now, with his status in society, he is no longer the ordinary person he used to be, and his mentality is completely different from the past.

The assassination incident has come to an end for the time being.

The reason why he couldn't find the mastermind behind the scenes wasn't because his men were incompetent, but because these types of cases often didn't leave any clues, and even with extremely capable people, it would be difficult to catch them.

In comparison, it can be seen from this incident that his power is much stronger than that of the police.

I wanted to rely on the police station, but there was no progress for several days.

But after he gave the instructions, the results came out within two or three days.

From this we can see that the Hong Kong police are unreliable.

His current priority is to strengthen his own security protection.

Being in his position, as his business empire continues to expand, he will offend more and more people, and there will definitely be more and more people who attempt to take his life in the future.

After feeling quite bored at the Shi Xundao Villa, three days after the assassination, Lin Haoran decided to return to his parents' home at Deep Water Bay Villa.

Life is not so boring when you have parents around to chat with.

Lin Wanan was surprised to see that his son brought more than a dozen bodyguards with him this time.

Nowadays, Lin Wanan is less involved in business affairs. He has retired and is mostly enjoying his retirement. Recently, he has taken Lin Haoran's mother to Southeast Asia for vacation from time to time. Therefore, he was not aware of the assassination attempt on his son before.

However, Lin Haoran did not explain too much, so as not to make his parents worry too much. (End of this chapter)
