In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 58 Li Chaoren’s worries
Bao Yugang left in a hurry. After all, it would take him twenty or thirty minutes to get back from Central.

After Bao Yugang left, Lin Haoran took a shower first, then half-lying on the sofa reading a book, waiting for feedback from Bao Yugang.

Before Bao Yugang left, he had told him that no matter whether it succeeded or not tonight, he would call him to inform him of the result.

This news may not be available for two or three hours, so we can only wait quietly.

Although he believed in Bao Yugang's ability, until he succeeded, all this was just speculation.

Only after receiving Li Jiacheng's reply did he feel truly relieved.

In any case, he was still unwilling to compete with Li Jiacheng in Yingni, Qingzhou like Bao Yugang and Jardine Matheson did.

Now, he has little foundation and cannot withstand such hardship.

At the same time, Bao Yugang had driven back to his home in Deep Water Bay. Without taking a short rest, he walked directly to the Li family villa.

The two villas are not far apart, so close that the outline of Li Jiacheng's residence can be clearly seen from the balcony of Bao Yugang's house. Such a geographical location seems to have added a bit of convenience and tacit understanding to the frequent exchanges between the two.

"Brother Bao, I am flattered by your late night visit. I'm sure you have something urgent to discuss with me?" Li Jiacheng had been waiting for a long time outside the threshold of the villa. Seeing Bao Yugang walking slowly, he hurried forward with a sincere smile on his face.

In this turbulent era, Bao Yugang is undoubtedly a leading figure in Hong Kong's Chinese business community, and his prestige and achievements are admirable.

In addition to his business respect for him, Li Jiacheng also had a deep personal friendship with him.

"Brother Li, it is very intrusive of you to visit me so late at night, but I do have something important to discuss with you." Bao Yugang nodded slightly, with a bit of apology and sincerity in his tone, "I know you are very busy, and I have no choice but to disturb you this time."

After saying this, Bao Yugang couldn't help but think to himself that his intention of coming here was indeed a bit unreasonable.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he had to be thick-skinned and come forward.

After all, in the ups and downs of business, sometimes persistence and courage can often bring unexpected turning points.

"Let's go into the study and talk in detail." Li Jiacheng said with a smile.

Because the two of them often visited each other, they were quite familiar with each other's home environment and therefore did not pay much attention to details.

In a blink of an eye, they had stepped into Li Jiacheng's study room filled with the scent of books.

Just as Li Jiacheng was about to take out the tea set to make tea, Bao Yugang gently waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't bother making tea tonight, otherwise I will toss and turn in the dead of night and have difficulty falling asleep."

Hearing this, Li Jiacheng stopped what he was doing, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a gentle voice: "Brother Bao, what is the important matter that makes you so anxious to discuss it overnight?"

"Brother Li, have you been secretly planning to acquire Qingzhou Yingni Company recently?" Bao Yugang asked first in a confirming tone with a hint of caution in his voice.

After all, Li Jiacheng has always been careful in his actions, and the leak of this news made him suspicious, especially how Lin Haoran knew about it, and whether there was any misunderstanding or misinformation.

Bao Yugang's question made Li Jiacheng look up suddenly, his eyes full of surprise and confusion. He looked directly at Bao Yugang and said, "Brother Bao, how did you know about this? We are indeed preparing this plan in secret, but the company has been keeping it strictly confidential and has never disclosed it to the outside world. Although the current progress is not as smooth as expected, it is undoubtedly an important part of our Cheung Kong Group's strategic blueprint."

Li Jiacheng's words revealed a bit of confusion and worry. All his plans have always been very cautious, and those involved are all the most reliable members of the group.

He began to think carefully in his mind, trying to find possible information leaks, but after some thought, he still could not identify any individuals suspected of leaking information.

"Are you trying to quietly buy up Qingzhou Yingni's shares on the stock market, but with little success?" Bao Yugang did not directly respond to Li Jiacheng's question, but further elaborated on his purpose.

"That's true," Li Jiacheng nodded, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "There are few orders on the market, but there are endless buy orders, which makes it difficult for us to effectively increase our holdings. I have been observing recently and plan to change my strategy in a while and start with the shareholders of Qingzhou Yingni."

"Brother Li, I came here this time to ask you to give me some face and consider giving up the acquisition plan of Qingzhou Yingni. I know this is difficult to ask, but if Brother Li agrees, I can compensate Brother Li from other places.

And I also know that although Brother Li has strong financial strength, it is basically impossible for him to acquire Qingzhou Yingni, because someone has already started planning for Qingzhou Yingni long before you.

The shares they currently hold are already considerable, and they have already secretly become the largest shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni. This is also the reason why you cannot absorb too many stocks from the stock market. More importantly, the financial strength of this behind-the-scenes player should not be underestimated.

He seems to know everything about your actions. If you insist on intervening, it will probably only lead to a fierce battle for equity, and the most likely outcome is that both sides will suffer losses. "Bao Yugang said seriously.

Hearing this, Li Jiacheng's eyes suddenly became solemn, and a trace of shock that was difficult to conceal flashed across his eyes.

He whispered to himself, his tone revealing disbelief: "It turns out that someone has already taken the lead and has firmly gained the upper hand."

At this moment, Li Jiacheng suddenly realized that the root cause of the many obstacles they encountered in the stock market was far from simple market fluctuations, but there was a more complex and powerful manipulation force hidden behind it.

"How did he know about our strategic deployment?" This question weighed on his heart like a huge rock, and became the mystery he most wanted to solve.

Li Jiacheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. What he was most worried about was the emergence of a traitor within the team.

This is not only a collapse of trust, but also a huge threat to future plans.

He knew that if any of his secret plans were leaked, they would come to nothing and he would become a laughing stock in the eyes of his opponents.

Therefore, Li Jiacheng made up his mind that he must get to the bottom of the matter and find out why his action plan was leaked.

The uncertainty and potential sense of betrayal made it impossible for him to sit idly by.

"I really know nothing about this." Bao Yugang responded with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "But if Brother Li really wants an answer, I can try to arrange a meeting for you. Then you can ask him directly. Coincidentally, the other party is actually our neighbor." As he said this, Bao Yugang raised the corner of his mouth into a wry smile.

Both of them hold a high status in Hong Kong's business community, and they can handle themselves with ease even when facing those huge British companies.

However, this young man named Lin Haoran continuously shocked them in a way beyond their expectations.
