In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

After discussing with Su Zhixue, Lin Haoran fully respected his opinion and finally decided to place the headquarters of Universal Investment Company's US branch in the world's largest city - New York City.

The reason is simple: it houses the famous New York Stock Exchange.

As for investment, it is naturally more convenient to be close to the stock exchange.

After all, Lin Haoran's investments are mainly targeted at listed companies.

For Lin Haoran, it doesn’t matter whether it is in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. After all, it is Su Zhixue who lives in the United States, not him.

In the future, Lin Haoran will still stay more in Hong Kong, in his base camp.

After discussing with Su Zhixue, Lin Haoran asked him to prepare.

Considering that this is a cross-border office relocation and the destination is the United States, thousands of miles away, it will undoubtedly take considerable time to prepare.

What is particularly critical is the willingness of the employees, as not everyone is willing to move to the United States.

In this regard, Lin Haoran and Su Zhixue have already discussed that if the number of employees willing to go to the United States does not meet expectations, it does not matter. They plan to gain a foothold in the United States first and then recruit new employees locally.

Compared to Hong Kong, the securities investment field in New York is full of talented people, so they don't worry about not finding suitable candidates.

After leaving the 31st floor, Lin Haoran was not in a hurry to leave Wanqing Building, but went to the Wanqing Group office on the 29th floor.

In Burton's office, Lin Haoran listened carefully to Burton's work report and nodded in agreement from time to time.

Burton is undoubtedly an extremely outstanding professional manager. As for why Lin Haoran had never heard of his name in his previous life, it may be because he has never been given the opportunity to show his talents in Yingni, Qingzhou.

Now, in just less than two years, Qingzhou Yingni has become one of the three largest cement companies in Nanyang, and its sales in Nanyang far exceed those in Hong Kong.

Among them, the greatest contribution obviously goes to Burton, the president of Wanqing Group.

Kowloon Motor Bus has successfully entered the Malaysian market. Although it still has some distance to go before it can achieve profitability, its move towards internationalization is undoubtedly a positive signal.

At the same time, Wan'an Real Estate Company has also taken root in Singapore and is currently working with Kerry Group to jointly develop a real estate project.

Everything is moving steadily in a better direction.

Burton's loyalty level of 92 made Lin Haoran full of trust in him.

Apart from anything else, the financial statements that improved month by month alone made Lin Haoran very satisfied.

The most profitable subsidiary of Wanqing Group is Qingzhou Cement Co., Ltd. Last month, Qingzhou Cement brought the group a profit of up to HK$43 million.

Looking back two years ago when Lin Haoran had not yet taken over, Qingzhou Yingni’s monthly profit was only two to three million Hong Kong dollars. But now, in just two years, it has increased 20 times!
Of course, the biggest reason why the profits were so low in the past was that the former chairman was secretly corrupt.

Even if there was no corruption, Qingzhou Cement Company's monthly profit would hardly reach HK$10 million.

Therefore, the current monthly profit of more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars is truly astonishing.

If this level of profitability can be maintained, the annual profit would reach HK$400 to 500 million!
Only those subordinates who can create wealth for him are truly good subordinates.

In addition to Burton, it is obvious that the Guo family also made a great contribution.

Therefore, having received such a great favor from the Guo family, Lin Haoran is in a difficult position!

If he doesn't marry Guo Xiaohan in the future, he doesn't know how to repay the favor of the Guo family.

After having an in-depth conversation with Burton for more than an hour and enjoying lunch in the cafeteria of Wanqing Building, Lin Haoran left the building.

He glanced at the time and it was already past one in the afternoon.

Afterwards, Lin Haoran returned to the underground parking lot and got into the car again.

"Weidong, let's go to the Global Security Consulting Company training base in Saigon." Lin Haoran ordered directly.

"Okay, boss, let's go now!" Li Weidong responded, then started the car, slowly drove out of the parking lot of Wanqing Building, crossed the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, and sped towards Sai Kung.

The 20 preliminary members of the secret guard team selected by Cui Zilong from Manila, Philippines, are currently undergoing rigorous special training at the Global Security Consultants Company training base in Saigon.

In order to enhance their professional skills, the company specially hired an international security expert from the United States to teach them key skills such as identity hiding techniques, anti-tracking, and anti-eavesdropping.

As for other training programs, the elite bodyguards of these global security consulting companies have long been accustomed to them, and each of them is quite capable.

At present, the focus of training is to make up for their shortcomings and strive to enable them to reach the standards of secret guards as soon as possible, thereby providing solid protection for Lin Haoran's safety.

Although Lin Haoran is now accompanied by more than a dozen bodyguards wherever he goes and his safety is fully guaranteed, traveling like this is indeed too conspicuous.

Therefore, the secret guard became a more suitable choice.

In the past few days, whenever Lin Haoran was at home, Li Weidong would go to the supervisory training base in Saigon and report to Lin Haoran in detail after returning. Therefore, Lin Haoran knew the situation there very well.

However, these people will be responsible for protecting his safety in the future, and he has never met them yet, which is obviously inappropriate.

With the golden finger that can check loyalty, Lin Haoran naturally wants to make good use of this advantage.

He decided to go to the training base in person to see these people in person, and those with low loyalty must be eliminated decisively.

After all, the higher the loyalty of the people who protect him, the more secure he is!
The distance from Central to Clear Water Bay in Sai Kung is neither far nor near.

It took about forty minutes to reach the destination.

The last time Lin Haoran came to the training base here was several months ago. At that time, he had just returned from Guangzhou in the mainland and had not yet set up a training base in the Philippines.

After that, the factory of Qingzhou Yingmu Company's Philippine branch in Manila was threatened with extortion, which led to the training base of Global Security Consulting Company moving to the Philippines. After that, Lin Haoran never went to the Saigon training base again.

However, he also knew that although the main force had moved to the Philippines for training, Yang Mingyi had occasionally brought a number of veterans over from Guangdong Province over the past six months.

Today, the total number of members at the Saigon Training Base has reached more than 300.

Among them, about half of the members are from the mainland, and the other half are recruited locally in Hong Kong.

There is a serious problem of smuggling in Hong Kong, especially among individuals from Vietnam. They have experienced the baptism of war and have strong combat effectiveness. They are talents that Global Security Consulting Company can consider recruiting.

In addition, the company also hired some Eastern European whites and African blacks who were wandering in Hong Kong. They are tall and strong and also have war experience. Their strength should not be underestimated.

As long as they are obedient, it doesn't matter what country they are from. If Global Security Consulting Company wants to go international in the future, it will definitely not be suitable to have only Chinese bodyguards.

Therefore, the training base in Hong Kong was not abandoned, but grew stronger and stronger.

In addition, members here are regularly sent to training bases in the Philippines for special training.

After all, the Philippines has a more significant advantage than Hong Kong in this regard.

Not to mention anything else, the freedom to own guns alone is something that Hong Kong cannot compare to.

Furthermore, due to the popularity of guns, gun battles are relatively frequent. Once these members are sent there, they will have the opportunity to receive practical training at any time.

On the other hand, in Hong Kong, even those large gangs normally just use knives and sticks to hack people, and not everyone has a pistol.

In addition, the social groups in Hong Kong dare not offend a big shot like Lin Haoran.

This can be seen from the fact that 13K succumbed to Lin Haoran so easily.

Therefore, the training base in Xigong, Hong Kong is more of a procedural training, and the real combat training has to be done in the Philippines.

The training base is located in a desolate mountain area in Clear Water Bay, Sai Kung. It is backed by mountains and faces the sea. The complex environment is perfect for the training of the team members.

Before Lin Haoran left, he called here to let us know.

Therefore, as soon as his motorcade arrived at the gate, the person in charge of the training base came out to greet them.

"Hello, boss. I'm Peng Donghai, the person in charge of the Saigon Training Base of Universal Security Consulting Company. I'm responsible for assisting Mr. Cui Zilong in managing everything here." The person who helped Lin Haoran open the car door was a burly middle-aged man. Lin Haoran had never seen him before.

However, judging from his loyalty score of 88, Lin Haoran was very confident in him!
"Hello, Coach Peng! You have worked so hard!" After getting off the car, Lin Haoran smiled and shook hands with him.

"Mr. Cui said he will be here within half an hour," Peng Donghai added.

Lin Haoran nodded and looked around carefully.

This piece of land, covering more than 300,000 square meters, is quite large.

At this moment, the venue has been planned in an orderly manner and all kinds of training facilities are available.

Not only that, several new buildings have been added, and the shooting range has long bid farewell to the simple days of tin houses, and has been replaced by a majestic five-story building.

"Take me to see the twenty training members first." Lin Haoran ordered directly.

Most of these people will shoulder the responsibility of protecting him in the future. Although their status in Lin Haoran's mind may not be comparable to that of the two brothers Li Weidong and Li Weiguo, Lin Haoran also understands that his future safety cannot be separated from them, so he also attaches great importance to them.

"Boss, please follow me!" Coach Peng responded, and then led Lin Haoran, Li Weidong, Li Weiguo and others onto a transfer vehicle on the site and drove to a training ground.

A few minutes later, the car stopped steadily.

"Be loyal in your heart, be protective in your actions, and do what the boss asks of you, even at the cost of your life!" Twenty young men in uniform training uniforms shouted slogans in unison, their voices loud and full of momentum.

Lin Haoran looked at them, and the loyalty on each of their heads was clearly visible. (End of this chapter)
