In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

The biggest problem he faces now is lack of funds.

Although the Hong Kong headquarters of the Swire Properties Group has a lot of available funds and it is not a problem to come up with several billion Hong Kong dollars, it also needs to develop. In addition, it now needs to fully acquire fast-moving consumer goods brand companies, and there are several loans that need to be repaid in the future.

Therefore, unless he had no other choice, Lin Haoran was unwilling to embezzle funds from Hong Kong.

On the Japanese side, the main focus is on the starting capital of 40 billion Hong Kong dollars. How far you can develop depends on your own ability.

Even if it was 130 billion yen, he couldn't possibly come up with it now.

Another loan?
Goodbye. I just signed a new contract with Citibank today and owe them billions of Hong Kong dollars.

However, as long as the plan for Toyota Motor’s stock goes smoothly, a lot of money can be made.

Now it seems that we can only act according to circumstances, and make plans after the auction is concluded.

Thinking of this, Lin Haoran asked, "Do you know the payment rules for the auction?"

"I know a thing or two," Huo Jianning replied. "The Tokyo Court has handled similar auctions of bankrupt companies in the past. Usually, the successful bidder needs to pay a deposit of about 10% of the transaction first, and the remaining balance has one year to settle.

If payment is not made within this period, not only will the auctioned assets be forcibly reclaimed, but the 10% deposit will also be confiscated.

For cases like Cheung Kong Real Estate where the bidding amount is huge, the court will often grant at least one year to raise funds. If you want to extend the settlement time, you can also negotiate with the creditors.

Some creditors may agree to extend the payment period in order to obtain interest, but it should be noted that the assets won at the auction will be regulated and no transactions can be carried out until the remaining balance is paid off. "

Is there a one-year fundraising period?

In this way, he no longer has to worry about insufficient funds.

It was easy for him to raise the funds in one year.

Thinking of this, Lin Haoran nodded and said, "Okay, then you go and participate in the auction and try your best to win it."

The Swire Properties Group is, after all, a large group mainly engaged in real estate. However, its real estate properties in Japan today only include this one Swire Building and four plots of land that were won through auction.

This doesn't seem like a large real estate company at all.

But if the Changhe Real Estate Company is taken over, the Swire Group will have a solid foundation in the real estate industry in Japan.

By developing on this basis, Lin Haoran believed that he would be able to develop the Japanese branch of the Swire Properties Group to a level that satisfied him before the Japanese economic bubble came.

"Okay, boss. I will try my best to win the bid for it!" After getting the boss's consent, Huo Jianning became excited.

He understood how important this auction was to the development of the Hong Kong Land Group in Japan.

Next, Huo Jianning reported to Lin Haoran in detail about the fast-moving consumer goods brands that he was interested in.

Yakult, Shu Uemura, Kao, Kose.

Lin Haoran was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the brands that Huo Jianning was interested in were all well-known fast-moving consumer goods brands in later generations.

There is no need to say much about Yakult. He often drank this brand of lactic acid bacteria beverage in his previous life, which enjoys a high reputation among mainland consumers.

Shu Uemura has gained a foothold in the mainland market with cosmetics such as facial oils and eyebrow pencils.

Kao, whose daily chemical products such as shampoo and conditioner occupy an important position in the mainland market.

Kose, whose Sekkisei series of products enjoy a high reputation among mainland consumers.

According to Huo Jianning, among these brands, only Shu Uemura has the best chance of being acquired. As for the other three brands, they have a long history and are controlled by actual controlling families, so if they want to be acquired, they can basically only have a chance of being acquired by paying a price higher than the market price.

Moreover, these brands are also common fast-moving consumer goods in major retailers in Japan.

"If we can acquire, we will acquire. If we can't, we will raise funds. Now, I control the 711 convenience stores, which is also a bargaining chip. If they want their products to be treated well in 711 convenience stores, reducing the amount of financing is a must!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

711 convenience store is indeed one of his trump cards.

Today, there are more than 711 711-Eleven convenience stores in Japan, and he is confident that the number of -Eleven convenience stores in Japan will reach more than within this year.

By then, 711 convenience stores will definitely be a brand worth wooing among fast-moving consumer goods brands.

It can be acquisition, controlling stake, or even becoming a major shareholder.

As long as he has a certain say in the company, he can allow the company to invest in the mainland.

In this way, Guangdong Province will be able to accelerate its development and meet the needs of the mainland.

Of course, it would be better to acquire the company directly and become the controlling shareholder or even the sole shareholder, so that he can have full control.

He wants to build Dairy Farm International into a fast-moving consumer goods giant with a large number of brands, like Procter & Gamble and Unilever. Of course, his goal is to build a fast-moving consumer goods giant that is even larger than Procter & Gamble and Unilever, and it would be best if it could become the number one in the global fast-moving consumer goods industry.

Combined with the supermarkets, convenience stores and other retail channels that are currently being laid out, we will be invincible in this industry.

After chatting with Huo Jianning, Lin Haoran was about to go to the Southern Company office on the 22nd floor, but he unexpectedly noticed Akina Nakamori.

She was currently sitting at a staff post, concentrating on reading a book.

Today, she is dressed more like a girl, with a fresh and refined outfit, exuding a unique and charming beauty.

Lin Haoran walked closer curiously and found that Akina Nakamori was holding a book for learning English.

The pages of the book are densely marked with various marks. Her handwriting is beautiful and neat, showing her seriousness and dedication in learning.

Akina Nakamori is a very unique employee at the Japanese branch of the Hong Kong Land Development.

Since her studies will not be completed until three months later, she does not need to go to work from nine to six like other employees.

She had previously stated that she could simply drop out of school.

However, Lin Haoran still let her finish the last three months of her studies since she was about to graduate anyway.

Although Akina Nakamori is now a print advertising model for the Hong Kong Land Group and has shot some print advertisements for several supermarkets under the group, Lin Haoran actually still plans to let her continue to pursue a singer's career.

Recently, when Lin Haoran had nothing to do, he was planning to acquire an entertainment company, and then, just like in his previous life, train Akina Nakamori to be a superstar in Japan, and let her become what she should be: a queen-level singer who shines on the stage and is loved by fans all over the world.

Since he is developing in Japan, he will definitely need to find spokespersons to endorse his products in the future, so as to increase the brand's popularity in Japan.

Akina Nakamori already has the talent to be a superstar, and now it is just a matter of letting her return to the status she deserves.

For Lin Haoran, acquiring an entertainment company is just a hobby, but since he has decided to do it, he must do his best.

Anyway, it doesn’t cost much to acquire an entertainment company.

He doesn't ask how much money this company can make for him, the most important thing is to have fun.

At this time, Akina Nakamori obviously realized that someone was coming to her, so she looked up suddenly and found that it was the boss.

Suddenly, Akina Nakamori hurriedly stood up and said hello to Lin Haoran.

"Huh, your English has improved so much?" Lin Haoran asked in surprise.

Although Akina Nakamori only said two greetings in English just now, Lin Haoran could hear that her English level had improved significantly.

Akina Nakamori actually understood half of what Lin Haoran said, but she hesitated when answering, and it was obvious that she only heard a few words clearly.

However, the fact that she has made such great progress is enough to show that Akina Nakamori has indeed spent a lot of time learning English during this period.

A female employee sitting next to Akina Nakamori took the initiative to translate for Akina Nakamori.

Through the chat, Lin Haoran learned that Akina Nakamori had recently attended an English training class in the hope of learning English well.

As for Cantonese, it is still too niche in Japan. It is obviously difficult for her to gain any results from learning Cantonese in a short period of time, so learning English is the fastest way.

Because, with the economic development of Japan, the English environment in Japan is actually very good now. The popularization of high education has enabled many young people to speak English. In addition, Japan has a large number of foreigners, which has created a very good language environment.

If she is willing to put the effort into studying, she can indeed make significant progress in a short period of time.

Lin Haoran carefully looked at the girl in front of him. She was beautiful, but unfortunately she was a little young, only 16 years old.

At this age, he still can't do it!
He patted Akina Nakamori on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Come on, study hard, I'm waiting for the day when you can talk to me alone."

"I will definitely not let you down!" Akina Nakamori said solemnly.

"In the company, except for the security guards and cleaners, everyone else can speak English. You can also ask these brothers and sisters for advice. Be bold and don't be afraid to speak!" Lin Haoran encouraged the other party and left the office on the 23rd floor.

Ever since he met Akina Nakamori, he has indeed developed a strong interest in her, an international diva who is destined to shine in the future.

For men, they either want money or women. This is a very normal mentality.

Akina Nakamori is not only extremely famous, but also has a beautiful face. It is normal for Lin Haoran to fall in love with her.

If you're not attracted to her, then there's something wrong.

But now, Akina Nakamori is not yet an adult, so Lin Haoran has not thought of attacking Akina Nakamori who is not yet an adult. (End of this chapter)
