In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

"In that case, I won't take up any more of your time. I came to see you mainly because I want you to prepare to move the company's office to Kangle Building in the next two days. Please contact Mr. Ma Shimin for the specific matters. I have already discussed it with him. By then, the company will have two floors of office space in Kangle Building!" Lin Haoran explained his purpose succinctly.

"Two floors? That's great!" A hint of surprise flashed in Dai Shi's eyes.

Working in Kang Le Building, you will obviously come into contact with more clients.

For Huanyu Investment Company, the advantages do outweigh the disadvantages, and it can even be said that there are no disadvantages at all.

"Well, go ahead and get busy. The team still needs you to take charge of the overall situation. You can't miss such a good opportunity to increase your stock holdings." Lin Haoran continued with a smile.

"Okay, boss. I'll be out first!" Dai Shi said, and respectfully left the office.

Looking at Dai Shi's departing back, Lin Haoran slowly stood up, walked to his private reception room, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

This place was specially renovated by his subordinates after he acquired the Federal Building. The time can be traced back to February last year.

Now, less than a year later, he is preparing to move away again.

The speed of this change just reflects the rapid development of his career.

Every change of office location is a witness to his development process, recording every bit and constant change along the way.

However, Lin Haoran firmly believed that the private reception room in Kang Le Building would not be the final destination.

Some time ago, he unexpectedly successfully bid for five core prime plots of land from the government at a price of 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. One of the plots was adjacent to the Kangle Building, where he planned to build a new tallest building in Hong Kong.

When this high-rise building is completed, he will naturally move his private reception room here to continue witnessing the glory and changes of his career.

Lin Haoran stood in front of the window of the private reception room, his eyes passing through the bustling city scene, as if he had already seen the tallest building in the future standing on the banks of the Hong Kong River.

His heart was filled with infinite longing for the future.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, Lin Haoran gazed at the prosperous scene outside the window, feeling filled with emotion.

However, he did not stay here for too long and turned and left the office.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed and it was the night of January 1th.

Lin Haoran had just finished dinner at home, and Guo Xiaohan came again tonight.

But he didn't mind, it was just a matter of an extra pair of chopsticks.

"Brother Haoran, I will be going on a business trip to Southeast Asia with my uncle next Monday. This time I will mainly go back to deal with some family business matters. I may need to stay for more than half a month or even a month." Guo Xiaohan sat on the sofa outside the hall, turned his head to look at Lin Haoran, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Lin Haoran suddenly realized that Guo Xiaohan came to see him a few days ago because she was about to return to Nanyang.

He naturally knew that the Guo family originated in Malaysia in Southeast Asia and that the family's roots were deeply rooted there.

Although Guo Henian now pays more attention to the Hong Kong market, it is undeniable that the Guo family's main business is still concentrated in Southeast Asia.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Guo Xiaohan to follow Guo Henian back to handle business matters.

"Well, learn from your uncle. He is indeed an entrepreneur with great wisdom. Learning some of his skills will be of great help to your future growth." Lin Haoran encouraged with a smile.

"I think so too," Guo Xiaohan said with a determined look in her eyes, "I will learn from his business experience. When I marry you, I will be able to help you share the burden better!"

Lin Haoran couldn't help but feel a little amused when he heard this.

They had clearly agreed to discuss these topics again two years later, but Guo Xiaohan kept bringing them up from time to time, as if reminding him all the time.

Lin Haoran did not continue with this topic, but continued to talk about other things.

As we chatted, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"It's getting late. You should go back first and get some rest." Lin Haoran glanced at his watch and turned to Guo Xiaohan.

If Guan Jiahui were here at this moment, he might have already had sex with her.

But Guo Xiaohan's identity is special, so he chose to remain restrained for the time being.

"Okay, I'll go first." Although Guo Xiaohan was a little reluctant, she still nodded. Before leaving, she took the initiative to approach Lin Haoran again and gave him a passionate kiss.

Lin Haoran has gotten used to this.

In order to ensure Guo Xiaohan's safety, when Guo Xiaohan drove away, Lin Haoran once again arranged for Li Weidong to drive behind her and escort her home.

After that, he went straight back to the third floor.

I had just gone up to the third floor, took out a set of pajamas from the closet, and was about to take a shower when the phone in the study suddenly rang.

Putting down the pajamas in his hand, Lin Haoran walked into the study and answered the phone.

"Boss, I'm Ma Shimin, and I have important news to tell you!" Ma Shimin's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh? Tell me in detail!" Lin Haoran answered directly.

"It's about Jardine Matheson Securities. Three days ago, at your instruction, I quietly spread the news that Jardine Matheson planned to sell Jardine Matheson Securities. This caused an uproar in Hong Kong. You, the boss, are well aware of this.

Over the past three days, the share price of Jardine Matheson Securities has been falling continuously. At first, Jardine Matheson tried to deny and conceal the matter, but some reporters took the lead in interviewing several industry leaders, who confirmed that Mr. Simon Keswick did personally promote Jardine Matheson Securities to them, which made it impossible for Jardine Matheson to conceal the matter any longer.

Because of this, the internal employees of Jardine Securities were in a state of uncertainty and worried about the future. Deputy General Manager Mr. Allen seized this opportunity and after successfully convincing his team, he gradually won the support of many colleagues.

Under the temptation of high salaries, these people have secretly signed contracts with us. All liability for breach of contract will be borne by us. Just tonight, the last batch of more than one hundred employees also signed the contract.

So far, more than 700 core employees of Jardine Securities have signed contracts with us, which means that nearly four-fifths of the elite employees of Jardine Securities will be lost! "Ma Shimin reported excitedly.

More than seven hundred people?

Even Lin Haoran was surprised and very happy at the same time.

More than 700 people jumping ship in a group, this has never happened before in Hong Kong's history!
Jardine Securities has thousands of employees, but excluding some non-core and miscellaneous employees, there are only about a thousand people who can actually be classified as elite employees.

These employees are mainly responsible for work in areas including securities brokerage, financial consulting, privatization, securities underwriting, proprietary trading, asset management, insurance and diversified investment businesses.

It can be said that by poaching these teams, Huanyu Investment Company has directly acquired the complete business capabilities of these teams.

In this way, Huanyu Investment Company's business is no longer just the monotonous operation of listed companies, but has become diversified, covering almost all financial businesses except the banking industry!
"Well done!" Lin Haoran praised.

"In fact, Mr. Allen's ambitions are even greater. He originally planned to poach the entire Jardine Securities team, but the scale of this operation is too large. A few days ago, Mr. Allen only took action against some trustworthy people. Today, he officially took action on a large scale. In this way, it is inevitable that some people are unwilling to change jobs. They revealed the matter to the general manager of Jardine Securities.

So now the matter has been exposed, the top management of Jardine Securities and Jardine Matheson are in chaos, and Mr. Allen can no longer return to Jardine House." Ma Shimin continued to report.

“Well, convincing more than 700 people is already an unexpected gain. This is enough to show how capable and influential Mr. Allen is. In the future, we can let him manage the company. However, the penalty for breach of contract signed with him must be high enough. Otherwise, a similar thing will happen next time, and he may poach our team again. That would be a big loss.” Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"Boss, don't worry. I have considered all these aspects carefully. The penalty for breach of contract for all employees who have signed the contract and switched jobs here is ten times higher than that at Jardine Securities. So it is almost impossible for them to change jobs collectively again!" Ma Shimin said with a smile and full of confidence.

Ever since Lin Haoran proposed to hand over Huanyu Investment Company to the management of the Jardine Matheson Group, Ma Shimin has been full of energy.

"Okay, what are your plans next?" Lin Haoran asked.

"Tomorrow happens to be the weekend, so Huanyu Investment Company can move to the Jardine Matheson Group. I have already discussed this with Mr. Allen and Mr. Dai," Ma Shimin continued.

After Lin Haoran talked to Dai Shi about the relocation a few days ago, Dai Shi also actively implemented the matter and carried out a series of handovers with Ma Shimin.

However, it is not convenient to move during working hours, so the best time to move is the weekend!

"Well, just take care of this matter!" Lin Haoran nodded.

"In addition, the news about our large-scale poaching of employees from Jardine Securities had spread in the afternoon. I also received phone interview requests from several media outlets, but considering that this matter was not so glorious, I declined their interviews," Ma Shimin continued.

As a former senior executive of Jardine Matheson, he was well aware that he would inevitably be talked about behind his back as he was presiding over such a matter that was extremely unfair to his former employer.

However, he did not care much about it, otherwise he would not have followed Lin Haoran's arrangement and taken charge of this task personally.

Despite this, Ma Shimin also knew that it would be a bit too much if he still accepted the interview.

"I understand your difficulties. It doesn't matter whether you accept the interview or not. But you can't blame us for this. They were unkind first, and we were unjust later. So Mr. Ma, you can relax!" Lin Haoran laughed. (End of this chapter)
