Chapter 66 Does he have strong financial strength? (Subscribe)
Not long after Lin Haoran was leisurely sipping his tea, a crisp knock on the door broke the silence in the room.

Immediately afterwards, the smiling young lady in front of the cashier counter led Li Jiacheng into the store.

The moment Li Jiacheng stepped into the box, his eyes met Lin Haoran's. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, muttering to himself, could it be that the cashier made the wrong room?
He subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave so as not to disturb the young man who seemed to be enjoying his tea time.

However, just as Li Jiacheng was about to take action, Lin Haoran's gentle and magnetic voice rang out: "Mr. Li, please come in and sit down."

As he spoke, a sincere smile spread across his face and he extended his hand to Li Jiacheng.

At this moment, Li Jiacheng suddenly realized that the person he had an appointment to meet today was the young man with extraordinary manners in front of him.

Li Jiacheng is exactly fifty years old this year. He looks particularly steady. He wears a pair of black-framed glasses, which adds a bit of bookish air to him. He is dressed in a well-tailored suit. His every move reveals a gentle and elegant temperament, which makes people feel that he is gentle and refined at first glance.

After the receptionist politely left the box and gently closed the door, Li Jiacheng could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked, "Sir, you look quite familiar. What's your name? Could you be the major shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni that Mr. Bao Yugang mentioned?"

He thought carefully and was sure that he should have met Lin Haoran. In addition, Mr. Bao Yugang had mentioned before that the other party was their neighbor, which made Li Jiacheng more convinced that his memory was correct.

However, because Lin Haoran was too young and the two sides had no intersection, it was normal that I didn’t know him.

Although there are not many residents in Deep Water Bay, most of those whom Li Jiacheng knows well are the heads of prominent families.

As for the younger generation like Lin Haoran, they were naturally classified as "juniors" in his mind. He had never had a deep friendship with them, so it was reasonable that they did not know each other.

"That's right. I am Lin Haoran, the current major shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni. My father is Lin Wanan, and I believe Mr. Li must have heard of him. It is a great honor to have this meeting with Mr. Li." Lin Haoran introduced himself with a smile, his tone revealing humility.

"Lin Wanan? Are you Lin Wanan's son?" Li Jiacheng couldn't help but feel unbelievable when he heard this.

Compared with Bao Yugang, he has a deeper understanding of Lin Wanan.

After all, although there is a big gap in scale between Wan'an Group and Cheung Kong Holdings, both are deeply involved in the real estate industry and are members of the Hong Kong Real Estate Association. They have many intersections in the industry and naturally have opportunities to understand each other.

Real estate in Hong Kong is booming. Although we are all in the real estate industry, we cannot be considered competitors.

As a neighbor in the Deep Water Bay villa area, Li Jiacheng even advised Lin Wanan that in the fast-changing real estate industry, if one wants to achieve accelerated career development, moderate use of financial leverage, that is, assuming a certain amount of debt, is an inevitable and sometimes even necessary strategy.

However, it is obvious that Lin Wanan holds a different view on this point of view and he did not adopt Li Jiacheng's suggestion.

"Lin Wanan's son... He has strong financial strength?" Li Jiacheng muttered to himself, looking confused.

It was obvious that Li Jiacheng didn't quite believe it.

He found it difficult to connect Lin Haoran, a seemingly young junior, with the identity of being able to control a large amount of capital and become a major shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni.

"Could it be that Brother Bao has been blinded by this young man?" This thought flashed through Li Jiacheng's mind, but he quickly denied it.

"No, with Brother Bao's shrewdness and caution, he would never be deceived by a young man so easily."

At this moment, Li Jiacheng's heart seemed to be shrouded in fog, and his thoughts were in a mess.

He tried to sort out the clues, but found that the more he tried to understand, the more confused he became. The huge contrast between Lin Haoran's identity and strength made him feel unprecedentedly confused and puzzled.

Observing the changes in Li Jiacheng's expression, Lin Haoran began to understand something in his mind.

He understood that the doubt and distrust in Li Jiacheng's heart at this moment were exactly the same as Bao Yugang's reaction when he first met him. Both of them found it unbelievable that they could possess such a huge wealth at such a young age.

This reaction is actually not difficult to understand.

In the eyes of most people, Lin Haoran, as the son of Lin Wanan, even if he inherited part of the family wealth, would find it difficult to support such a huge capital operation on his own.

Especially for someone like Li Jiacheng who is familiar with the strength comparison between Wan'an Group and Qingzhou Yingni, it is even more difficult to compare the two.

Although Wan'an Group has a certain position in the industry, its overall strength is still inferior to that of Qingzhou Yingni.

It is not impossible to make a small investment to achieve a big goal, but during this period, Li Jiacheng did not hear about any large-scale fund-raising activities of Wan'an Group, nor did he hear that Lin Wan'an could ask a heavyweight like Bao Yugang for help.

All this made Li Jiacheng extremely confused.

He couldn't understand how a seemingly ordinary young man could accumulate such a huge fortune in a short period of time and successfully become a major shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni.

What made Li Jiacheng even more incredible was that Lin Haoran not only possessed such a huge fortune on his own, but also successfully invited a business tycoon like Bao Yugang to be a lobbyist, and in exchange for a favor, he made him give up his acquisition plan for Qingzhou Yingni.

Bao Yugang's debt of favor is very valuable.

All of this made him feel like a phantom in the fog, both real and unreal, and elusive.

Li Jiacheng understood that Bao Yugang held an important position in the business world. Every decision he made was carefully considered and he would never be easily influenced by others.

But now, Lin Haoran is able to influence and change Bao Yugang's decision by himself. The power and wisdom hidden behind this force Li Jiacheng to re-examine this young man.

"Mr. Lin, I'm very curious, how did you convince Brother Bao to be your lobbyist?" Li Jiacheng asked the question he really wanted to know.

"It's very simple. I have something he really needs, and I made a deal with him, on the condition that Uncle Bao would lobby Mr. Li on my behalf." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

These are not secrets. If Li Jiacheng wants to know, he will find out soon.

"Brother Bao needs something very urgently, Wharf shares?" Li Jiacheng thought of this all of a sudden.

After all, he had just traded a huge amount of shares with Li Ka-shing, which was Wharf Holdings shares. Now everyone in Hong Kong knows that what Bao Yugang needs most is Wharf Holdings shares.

“Yes, Mr. Li’s wisdom is admirable. I have previously completed an important transaction with Uncle Bao, selling all my Wharf shares to him, and Uncle Bao needed to persuade Mr. Li to abandon his acquisition plan for Qingzhou Cement.

Although I am confident that I can almost guarantee a controlling stake in Qingzhou Yingni, I still believe that avoiding unnecessary intervention by Mr. Li is the best way to protect the interests of both parties and prevent mutual losses.

Considering Mr. Bao’s status and influence in the industry, he is undoubtedly the best person to effectively dissuade Mr. Li from changing his mind. "Lin Haoran explained.
