In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 54 What a coincidence, we meet again

Prince's Building, the headquarters of Global Shipping Group, Bao Yugang's office.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Bao Yugang frowned, but soon smiled again.

Last weekend, he used his deep network of contacts to skillfully maneuver among many prestigious stock market makers, not only winning their respect but also successfully acquiring a large number of Wharf Holdings shares.

Many dealers chose to let go due to his prestige and the fact that the price he offered was slightly higher than the market price, which made Bao Yugang's acquisition plan a success at the first attempt.

After dealing with these well-known stock market makers, the charter king once again turned his attention to those unknown market makers.

Bao Yugang knew that these bookmakers were as elusive as ghosts, and even the group's powerful intelligence system could hardly reveal their true faces.

Therefore, we can only contact these people through the head trader of the stock exchange.

But Bao Yugang also clearly realized that this road is not easy.

Although securities traders have access to a large amount of information, they may not be willing to disclose it easily due to professional ethics or profit considerations.

To this end, he specially entrusted Mr. Shen Bi of Huifeng Bank to take action personally in order to maximize the possibility of success.

As the top boss in Hong Kong's financial industry, Shen Bi has a lot of face. Even the four major stock exchanges have to give him face.

After private negotiations, in principle, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange can help them contact those mysterious Wharf bigwigs, but will not disclose any information about the other party to Shen Bi and Bao Yugang.

Because everyone knows that this is illegal.

Therefore, their Hong Kong Stock Exchange will only serve as a bridge of communication to pass on information to them, and will not leak any information to the Bao family.

If the other party is willing, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will give Mr. Shen Bi a favor and allow them to contact each other. As for how to talk, it is none of their stock exchange's business.

Moreover, this matter cannot be known to Jardine Matheson, otherwise they will offend Jardine Matheson, so everything must be done in secret.

If Shen Bi had not stepped forward, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange would never have taken such a risk just for Bao Yugang's face.

In the past two days, he secretly bribed the head of the traders to contact some powerful and mysterious bookmakers, seeking to reach cooperation with these mysterious bookmakers.

Although the head trader was unable to reveal the intelligence information to Bao Yugang, he used the information he had to figure out who the big investors were.

So, they contacted Huanyu Investment Company.

The key investor who is suspected to control the stock market of Hutchison Whampoa finally gave in and agreed to have formal negotiations with the Bao family, but the condition was that Bao Yugang himself must come to negotiate in person.

This news was undoubtedly great news for Bao Yugang.

"Reply immediately and tell them that I will go there in person and ask them to confirm the specific time and place." Bao Yugang gave orders to his subordinates without hesitation.

Although he didn't know how many Wharf shares the other party held, judging from the attitude of the head trader at the stock exchange, it must be a lot.

If they can take over the Wharf Holdings shares held by the other party, they will be able to go further on the road to leading Jardine Matheson Land.

Therefore, it is very important to meet with the other party and convince them to sell the stocks to their Bao family.

As for stock market acquisitions, he will continue to compete with Jardine Matheson.

With double insurance, their chances of winning are even greater.

With the funds raised from the new share issuance of Longfeng International, and the support from Huifeng Bank, Bao Yugang basically does not have to worry about funds.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!" Upon hearing this, the subordinate acted quickly and left Bao Yugang's office to pass the message to the other party.

This morning, Bao Yugang's son-in-law Wu Guangzheng officially took office as the chairman of Longfeng International and is busy adapting to his new role and handling various affairs. Therefore, Bao Yugang will temporarily supervise the affairs of Wharf to ensure that every step goes smoothly as planned.

At the Huanyu Investment Company in Hengfeng Building, Su Zhixue once again stepped into Lin Haoran's office and brought a positive response from the Bao family.

"Mr. Lin, I have already replied to the Bao family. Mr. Bao Yugang clearly expressed his willingness to come in person to negotiate and asked about our meeting arrangements." Su Zhixue reported.

After listening to this, Lin Haoran thought for a while and made a decisive decision: "Very good, then let's set the meeting place at our company and arrange the time at 8 o'clock tonight."

"Understood, General Lin." Su Zhixue took the order and left.

Everything is going very smoothly. It just depends on whether Bao Yugang can compromise tonight.

After Su Zhixue and his colleagues got off work at six o'clock as usual, Lin Haoran took the two brothers Li Weiguo and Li Weidong out for a big meal. They did not return from outside until after seven o'clock in the evening.

Nearing eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Haoran prepared the tea-making utensils in the office.

He was curious about how Bao Yugang would react when he saw him.

At the same time, Bao Yugang also came to Hengfeng Building with a bodyguard.

Hengfeng Building and Prince's Building are actually only a few hundred meters apart, so it doesn't even take too long to walk there.

So, Bao Yugang also arrived as promised.

The elevator reached the 19th floor. After walking out, Bao Yugang quickly found his target for the day - Huanyu Investment Company.

This company was very unfamiliar to Bao Yugang, he had never heard of it before.

He even did some special investigation and found out that the company had just been registered.

Therefore, he mistakenly believed that Universal Investment Company entered the market after the Wharf Holdings stock price exploded.

When Bao Yu just arrived at the door of Huanyu Investment Company, Lin Haoran had already come out of his office to greet him.

He smiled and greeted Bao Yugang: "Uncle Bao, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"Haoran? Why are you here?" Bao Yugang looked surprised, obviously not expecting to meet him here.

The brief exchange with Lin Haoran last time left a deep impression on him, and he even warmly invited Lin Haoran to his home, but they never met again afterwards.

At this moment, Bao Yugang's thoughts seemed to be drawn by something, and suddenly he remembered Lin Haoran's identity - the young master of Lin Wan'an of Wan'an Group.

Although in his opinion, Lin Wanan was just an ordinary billionaire and there was still a big gap between his status and his own, but considering that the two lived in Deep Water Bay, they could be considered as acquaintances between neighbors.

As Bao Yugang's eyes swept over the Huanyu Investment Company in front of him, his heart couldn't help but ripple.

Lin Haoran's appearance made him wonder about the background of this company.

Could it be that Lin Wanan is really standing behind Huanyu Investment Company?
Once this idea came into my mind, it grew like weeds, and I felt that this possibility was extremely high.

However, he soon fell into doubt again.

He knew very well that Wan'an Group was not very strong. How could it have such abundant funds to get involved in the battle for Wharf Holdings' stocks?

This question lingered in his mind, making him even more curious about Huanyu Investment Company.
