In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

The day after meeting Buffett, Lin Haoran went to Wanqing Building.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Lin Haoran came to the company six days after the time bomb incident.

Before this, he either stayed in his villa on Severn Road or lived in his residence in Deep Water Bay. The only time he went out was to the Joy Lai Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui. The rest of the time he never left these safe places.

All these cautious arrangements were made to ensure his safety.

Before the secret guard team was officially in place, he was still very cautious about his own safety.

The reason why he came to Wanqing Building today was that after meeting Buffett, he also had certain plans for his next development.

As the three cars slowly drove into the underground parking lot of Wanqing Building, more than a dozen bodyguards followed them down. Two of them stayed in the parking lot to prevent the vehicles from encountering any accidents like last time.

With the close protection of more than a dozen bodyguards, Lin Haoran's safety factor has been significantly improved.

Lin Haoran walked into his office with familiarity and quickly called Su Zhixue.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Su Zhixue stood in front of Lin Haoran and asked respectfully after gently closing the office door.

"Well, there is something I need to discuss with you. By the way, how much liquid funds are there in the company's account now?" Lin Haoran asked.

Most of his funds are deposited in Huanyu Investment Company. After all, it is his personal investment company, and it is more convenient to handle funds there. For example, when a transfer is required, he only needs to instruct the financial department to do it.

He could see the loyalty of employees from top to bottom in the company, so naturally he didn't worry about anything happening to his money.

"Boss, there are currently about 13.85 billion Hong Kong dollars on the account." Su Zhixue reported truthfully.

Lin Haoran nodded after hearing this. HK$13.85 billion was indeed not a small amount, and it was not surprising that there was still such a large sum of money left.

A few months ago, Lin Haoran successfully obtained a loan of HK$20 billion from HSBC.

Then, through a series of shrewd buying and selling transactions in the UK, he not only made huge profits, but also obtained an additional 5.6 shares of Berkshire Hathaway, which was undoubtedly an unexpected gain.

After returning to Hong Kong, Lin Haoran actively participated in and promoted the listing process of Aigo.

With the successful listing of Aigo, he sold his shares in a timely manner and at the same time obtained a profit of HK$11 billion from the Carrian Group.

Therefore, although Lin Haoran recently invested a lot of money in the acquisition of shares of Hong Kong Land Group and Jardine Matheson, he still has HK$13.85 billion left in his account. Such financial situation is reasonable in the current business environment.

It has been more than two weeks since the completion of the acquisition of shares in Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Land Development.

During this period, Universal Investment Company remained silent for a while, and its work focus shifted more to providing support to Wanqing Group and Hong Kong Electric Group in the securities sector.

As for Jardine Matheson, it naturally does not need additional support from Universal Investment Company.

After all, Jardine Matheson owns Jardine Securities, a famous securities company in Hong Kong.

After all, compared with the strength of Jardine Securities, Huanyu Investment Company is still far behind.

There is no way around it. After all, Huanyu Investment Company was only established for two years, and compared to the long-established Jardine Securities Company, its foundation is still far behind.

However, as Huanyu Investment Company has more and more acquisition cases, they have accumulated more and more experience, so now the strength of Huanyu Investment Company is already very good among the many investment companies in Hong Kong.

"Zhixue, I have an important task to give you." Lin Haoran said in a serious tone.

"Boss, you say." Su Zhixue sat upright opposite Lin Haoran, his expression becoming serious.

Looking back, he was just an ordinary trader, and his life was so difficult that he didn't even have money to treat his son's illness.

It was the appearance of the boss Lin Haoran who not only lent him money to help him overcome the difficulties, but also improved his salary and carefully cultivated him to grow into an investment company manager.

All these changes are thanks to the boss.

Therefore, Su Zhixue felt deeply grateful to Lin Haoran.

In his opinion, only by working wholeheartedly for his boss can he repay this kindness a little, although he knows that this kindness may be difficult to fully repay in his lifetime!
"You should be aware of my current situation in Hong Kong. Currently, I have taken control of a number of listed companies, including Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Land Group. In Hong Kong, I have achieved almost all of my goals.

Therefore, I plan to expand my vision to the international stage, and the United States, the world's most developed economy, will be my next conquest. I plan to build Universal Investment Company into an international investment company like Berkshire Hathaway.

Next month, I will go to the United States in person. Before that, I hope you can lead the team to make preliminary preparations. In the future, you will be stationed in the United States for a long time, so please be mentally prepared and even consider bringing your family with you. As for Hong Kong, only one branch will be retained. Do you have any opinions on these? If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you. I will re-select candidates and you can still stay in Hong Kong. "Lin Haoran elaborated on his strategic conception in detail.

In Hong Kong, after successfully controlling Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Land Development, to be honest, he didn't really think much of other companies except HSBC and Swire.

The difficulty of acquiring the company by Bank of England and Jardine Matheson was almost impossible.

There is no need to say much about Huifeng Bank.

Jardine Matheson is controlled by the British Swire family, which has controlled Jardine Matheson for more than 100 years.

The long-term control and management of the Swire family has given Jardine Matheson a strong degree of stability and continuity in its business and finances, making it difficult for other Chinese companies to easily acquire it.

The difficulty of acquiring Swire Group is much greater than that of acquiring Hutchison Whampoa and Jardine Matheson.

This is also the reason why Swire Group was not coveted by any Chinese financial group in Lin Haoran’s previous life.

On the contrary, the Hong Kong Land Group and Jardine Matheson were constantly coveted by Chinese financial groups, but they ultimately failed.

Although Huanyu Investment Company can continue to gain a foothold in Hong Kong and remotely control investments in the United States, Europe, Japan and other places, there are still many inconveniences in actual operations.

In order to carry out global layout more effectively, the best strategy is to develop in the United States, because his next major investments will still be mainly in companies there.

Of course, as the birthplace of Universal Investment Company, Hong Kong is of self-evident importance and must not be given up easily.

In the future, Lin Haoran will continue to acquire companies in Hong Kong, but compared to the past, he will no longer need to spend so much time and energy.

Today, Lin Haoran has become the richest man in Hong Kong. Except for the financial strength of his bank which cannot be matched by his, the financial strength of the consortium he controls is already the largest in Hong Kong.

Therefore, even if he wants to acquire a Hong Kong company in the future, he can do it easily.

For example, if he wants, he can easily acquire Wheelock & Co., one of the four major trading companies in the future. After all, the Hong Kong Land Group holds 3300 million shares of Wheelock & Co., making it a very important shareholder of Wheelock & Co.

"Going to the United States?" Su Zhixue repeated in surprise. Obviously this plan was beyond his expectations.

The arrangement proposed by Lin Haoran in Hong Kong did make it difficult for Su Zhixue to adapt for a while.

After all, he had already gotten used to the lifestyle here in Hong Kong, and was a little nervous about suddenly moving to the United States. He thought he had heard it wrong and wanted to confirm it again.

"That's right, I plan to send you to lead the investment team to the United States!" Lin Haoran responded affirmatively again.

"Boss, no problem, I will do my best to complete your instructions!" After confirming the news, Su Zhixue answered without hesitation.

Lin Haoran had done him so much good that it was nothing compared to living in the United States.

What's more, I'm only going there temporarily, and there will be opportunities to come back to Hong Kong in the future.

"Well, in that case, you should make preparations to go to the United States. As for Hong Kong, I will arrange for the deputy general manager of Huanyu Investment Company to take over the work.

As for the employees, those who are willing to go to the United States with you can be brought with you, and a small number can be left behind to maintain daily operations. We will not force those who are unwilling to go. They can choose to join the securities department of Hong Kong Electric Group or the securities department of Wan Qing Group.

Huanyu Investment Company does not need too many employees in Hong Kong, and the excess can be transferred to other groups under its umbrella." Lin Haoran continued.

"Boss, are you planning to list Huanyu Investment Company in the United States in the future?" Su Zhixue asked curiously.

After all, Lin Haoran had mentioned before that he wanted to build Huanyu Investment Company into an investment company similar to Berkshire Hathaway, and Berkshire Hathaway is a well-known investment company listed in the United States whose main business is investment.

"No, Huanyu Investment Company will always exist as my wholly-owned investment enterprise. It will not be listed, either now or in the future." Lin Haoran gave a clear answer.

With his keen insight into future economic trends, taking Huanyu Investment Company public would be tantamount to handing over his wealth to others.

Lin Haoran obviously wouldn't make such a stupid decision.

He knows very well which companies will become industry leaders in the future and which companies' market capitalizations will soar to trillions of dollars.

With such information advantage, it is 100% impossible for the company he invests in to suffer losses.

Therefore, with such a sure win, how could he allow Huanyu Investment Company to go public and share the profits that he could have enjoyed alone? (End of this chapter)
