Chapter 39 Mobilizing All Available Funds

Under the current circumstances, if one wants to achieve a breakthrough in the stock market, especially in the fight for the controlling stake in Ching Chau Cement, accelerating the rise in Wharf Holdings' share price has become the most direct and effective strategy.

Currently, Lin Haoran still has HK$16 million on hand. This amount of money is neither huge nor insignificant in scale.

Even if all of it is used to purchase Green Island Cement's shares, the direct effect will be limited. At most, it can increase Green Island Cement's holdings by a little over 3 million shares.

Admittedly, this would enable Lin Haoran's shareholding in Green Island Mud to leap above the important threshold of 20%. However, facing a potential competitor like Cheung Kong Holdings, if it was determined to win, the more than 20% stake in Lin Haoran's hands would be insufficient and difficult to form a decisive advantage.

In a protracted war, the other side will have a clear advantage with its more abundant capital and strategic layout.

Therefore, Lin Haoran's strategy must be adjusted to a quick victory, striving to achieve a quick victory through precise operations and strategies in a short period of time, not giving Li Jiacheng enough time to make arrangements, and prompting Li Jiacheng to voluntarily give up the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni.

On the other hand, Lin Haoran is also actively seeking to enhance his financial strength.

Raising funds from the Wharf channel is undoubtedly a significant boost.

He knew that although he could make a considerable profit by selling the shares directly at the current market price, it would be far from his expected goal.

Given that Charter King and Jardine Matheson Group had quietly entered the market and had begun to absorb Wharf's low-priced shares, Lin Haoran keenly sensed an opportunity to boost the stock price.

According to past market trends, Wharf Holdings' share price is expected to grow significantly in the next six months, especially in March next year when it is expected to break through the HK$3 per share mark, and by 60 it may even reach a high of over HK$1980.

However, Lin Haoran did not intend to passively wait for this natural process to occur.

He planned to take the initiative, take advantage of the secret layout of Charter King and Jardine Matheson, and cleverly push them to the forefront, turning this acquisition battle from an undercurrent into an open contest.

Tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars are just a drop in the bucket for the huge Wharf Group, but its influence cannot be underestimated. It is enough to serve as a lever to drive up the share price of the entire Wharf Group.

This will not only accelerate the rise in stock prices, but also allow Lin Haoran to take the initiative at the negotiating table, realize capital recovery under more favorable conditions, and thus quickly enhance his financial strength.

At the same time, Lin Haoran was also very aware of the deep friendship between Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng, which made him see the possibility of indirectly influencing Li Jiacheng's decision-making through Bao Yugang.

He thought that perhaps he could make clever use of this relationship and let Bao Yugang help persuade Li Jiacheng to give up Qingzhou Yingni.

After all, although Green Island Cement has a place in the Hong Kong business community, it is not one of the top British companies. For various reasons, Li Jiacheng may be willing to give Bao Yugang face again and give up his obsession with Green Island Cement.

However, in order to make Bao Yugang willingly do this for Lin Haoran, Bao Yugang must feel that he owes Lin Haoran a favor.

After all, in the business world, personal relationships can often influence many seemingly impossible decisions.

Therefore, Lin Haoran needs to plan carefully and create opportunities for help that Bao Yugang will find difficult to refuse, so that Bao Yugang will be willing to help out for this favor in the future and promote Li Jiacheng's willingness to give up Qingzhou Yingni.

After careful consideration, Lin Haoran's mood gradually calmed down. Even facing a strong opponent like Li Jiacheng, he no longer felt overly nervous and uneasy. Instead, he began to feel excited.

Lin Haoran put the stock certificate of Qingzhou Yingni into his handbag and walked out of the office. He planned to go to Hang Seng Bank again. At this time, Su Zhixue and Dai Shi were immersed in their respective work. The huge space - this office of more than 100 square meters, now occupied by only the two of them, seemed particularly spacious and a little quiet.

Brothers Li Weiguo and Li Weidong sat side by side on chairs near the office entrance, each holding a bodyguard manual tightly in their hands, reading it intently, as if they were immersed in every detail and essentials of the bodyguard job.

They looked focused and exchanged opinions in low voices from time to time. It was obvious that they took the issue of protecting their boss very seriously.

However, this tranquility is about to be broken, because starting from next Monday, three new traders will arrive here to inject new vitality into the team.

In addition, Lin Haoran also plans to hire a front desk clerk to be responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the office environment and daily reception, such as cleaning, serving tea and water and other trivial matters. Although such a position is basic, it is also indispensable to the company's daily operations, and it is relatively easy to find a suitable candidate.

Although the stock market has entered a closed period, Su Zhixue and Dai Shi's work has not stopped.

In the securities industry, trading skills alone are far from enough; one also needs deep analytical capabilities and keen market insight.

Therefore, even on quiet days in the stock market, they need to collect market information and analyze stock trends intensively to make full preparations for the upcoming trading season.

Otherwise, Lin Haoran wouldn't have to let them stay until six o'clock before leaving get off work.

Before leaving the office, Lin Haoran turned to Su Zhixue and Dai Shi and said, "Zhixue, Shi, I'm going out to do something. I might not be sure when I'll be back. If I'm not back by six o'clock, you don't have to wait for me. Just go home."

"Okay, boss." Su Zhixue and Dai Shi responded almost at the same time.

Letting the chartering king come forward to persuade Li Jiacheng to abandon the plan to acquire Qingzhou Yingni was just one of Lin Haoran's many preparations, and he was not completely sure whether this strategy would succeed or not.

Therefore, Lin Haoran decided to take a two-pronged approach and mobilize all available financial resources at the same time to increase his chances of winning the competition.

He understood that facing a strong opponent like Li Jiacheng, every advantage was crucial.

Just like the last successful operation, he plans to replicate this strategy again. Although he currently has a limited number of Qingzhou Yingni shares in his hands, he has made up his mind to borrow more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars to increase his bargaining chips.

In Lin Haoran's view, in the face of fierce business competition, more funds means more chances of winning.

He firmly believed that through these two preparations, he would be able to gain an advantageous position in the acquisition battle of Qingzhou Yingni and ultimately achieve his goal.

After watching Lin Haoran walk out of the office, the brothers Li Weiguo and Li Weidong quickly and tacitly put away the bodyguard manuals in their hands, and then followed closely behind their boss.

Both Hang Fung Building and Hang Seng Bank Headquarters are located in Central, and the distance between them is not far.

Ten minutes later, Lin Haoran appeared again in the chairman's office at the Hang Seng Bank headquarters.
