Lin Haoran's stock investment strategy has always been very cautious. He has purchased Qingzhou Yingni's shares through multiple accounts to ensure that his shareholding situation cannot be easily investigated by the outside world.

If he does not disclose it to the outside world, it will be almost impossible for others to accurately judge the actual number of Qingzhou Yingni shares he holds.

Facing Halil Centurion's probing question, Lin Haoran did not need to think too much, but answered directly: "Mr. Halil, I currently hold 13.7% of Qingzhou Yingni's shares. With my funds, I can hold 15% of Qingzhou Yingni's shares.

As for my purpose, I am still young and have no intention of competing with you for the position of chairman of the company. However, I hope to become the vice chairman of the board of directors of Qingzhou Yingni, so that I can learn more business experience. As the largest shareholder, there should be no problem in taking this position, right? "

After saying this, in order to enhance his persuasiveness, he handed a copy of the 13.7% stock certificate to Khalil Centurion.

At Hang Seng Bank, he mortgaged a total of 17% of Qingzhou Yingni’s shares in two loans, so this 13.7% stake is indeed all the shares he can currently take out.

Of course, if he needs it, he can temporarily borrow stock certificates from Hang Seng Bank, but there is no need.

Because, at this moment, he has no plan to directly control Qingzhou Yingni, but to enter the board of directors of Qingzhou Yingni first.

Halil Centurion has been deeply rooted in Yingni, Qingzhou for more than a decade.

If Lin Haoran takes over Qingzhou Yingni, what he has to do is to completely eradicate Halil Centurion's power and the influence he has on Qingzhou Yingni, rather than allowing him to continue to be the second largest shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni.

It is better to drive away this unknown old fox. Keeping him will only bring more uncertain hidden dangers to the future of Qingzhou Yingni.

"13.7%? As far as I know, the stock trading of Qingzhou Yingni has been extremely active during this period. The trading volume in the past month has far exceeded 30%." Halil Centurion continued to ask in a tentative tone.

His words revealed a keen insight into market dynamics. Obviously, he was well aware of the dramatic fluctuations in Qingzhou Yingni's stock price during this period.

"Mr. Halil, more than ten days ago, another group of people suddenly appeared in the competition for the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni's shares, causing the stock price to continue to rise. From the original less than five Hong Kong dollars per share to the current price, it has also increased a lot. I thought you were increasing your holdings at the time. What? Isn't this person you?" Lin Haoran said in surprise.

More than ten days ago, Li Jiacheng's team began to buy Qingzhou Yingni shares. Since then, the trading volume of Qingzhou Yingni's shares has indeed increased significantly.

Khalil Centurion was naturally very clear about this.

"Is there anyone else eyeing Qingzhou Yingni?" Halil Centurion was stunned.

In order to dispel Halil Centurion's suspicion, Lin Haoran continued, "Mr. Halil, I guess you don't know my identity yet? I am the youngest son of Lin Wanan of Wanan Group."

After hearing Lin Haoran's words, Halil Centurion indeed dispelled his doubts about Lin Haoran, but then another doubt arose.

Because he was clear about Wan'an Group. Although this company was mainly engaged in real estate industry, its market value after listing was even lower than that of Qingzhou Yingni.

Before Lin Wanan founded Huafeng Cement Plant, Wanan Group was actually one of Qingzhou Yingni's customers.

After all, as the largest cement producer in Hong Kong, it naturally becomes one of the suppliers of many real estate developers.

The two were once partners, so Halil Centurion naturally had a certain understanding of the Wanan Group.

Precisely because of this understanding, he now thought of another question: Lin Haoran must have been instructed by Lin Wanan to purchase Qingzhou Yingni’s shares.

Otherwise, at such a young age, how could Lin Haoran come up with such a large amount of money to buy Qingzhou Yingni’s shares.

It is a fact that 13.7% of the stock certificates are already in front of him. According to Lin Haoran, he can absorb 15% of the shares, which is worth HK$5 million even at HK$3750 per share.

If Lin Wanan wants to raise this money, he should be able to do so.

In other words, the real person behind the shares held by Lin Haoran is very likely Lin Wanan.

At this moment, the other opponent that Lin Haoran mentioned who was absorbing shares was not the focus of Khalil Centurion.

Compared to Lin Wanan, he would rather the person who actually holds the shares is a young person like Lin Haoran.

If Lin Wanan had any intentions towards Qingzhou Yingni Company, it would be very dangerous.

"Mr. Lin, why didn't your father come here in person, but let you come by yourself?" Halil Centurion asked.

"My father? These are the shares I secretly absorbed myself, and they are my own personal property. Why do I want my father to come here?" Lin Haoran understood Halil Centurion's concerns and said with a smile.

"Your own personal property? Impossible! With the strength of Wan'an Group, raising tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is no problem. But you, how could it be possible?" Halil Centurion simply didn't believe it.

"Mr. Halil, if you carefully investigate the recent situation of Wan'an Group, you will know that Wan'an Group is currently raising funds to build a real estate project in North Point, and has no spare energy to do other things. My father has never liked to ask banks for loans, which should be known to many people. Mr. Halil may not know that I just graduated from the London Business School more than three months ago, and in June, Argentina held the World Cup. In this World Cup, I accidentally predicted the results several times, which made me a fortune of millions of pounds.

After returning to Hong Kong, I did not intend to tell my father about this matter. Instead, I started to study Hong Kong's enterprises. I found that Qingzhou Yingni had great potential, so I planned to invest in Qingzhou Yingni and become a shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni.

This is all my own money. Although Lin Wanan is my father, the money between father and son is also separate. Moreover, this is tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which is not a small amount. "

How to dispel Khalil Centurion's concerns is not a problem for Lin Haoran.

In this era, gambling in the UK is more mature than in the United States. It is normal to unexpectedly win millions of pounds in the World Cup. And millions of pounds converted into Hong Kong dollars are indeed tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

In addition, it is also a fact that Wan'an Group is currently making every effort to raise funds for the construction of the North Point project. This can be quickly found out with a little effort.

At this point, Halil Centurion began to believe what Lin Haoran said.

He will investigate this matter later. If it is true, he can rest assured about Lin Haoran.

Although Lin Haoran unexpectedly won several million pounds, given his current age, it is absolutely impossible for him to have the financial strength to continue to increase his holdings in Qingzhou Yingni's shares.

After all, making money is not that easy.

Even if he really absorbed 15% of the shares, Khalil Centurion didn't care at all. Of course, he would still be worried if these shares were eventually controlled by Lin Wanan.

At this moment, his attention shifted to another, another potential threat.

There are also forces like Lin Haoran that are buying a large number of Qingzhou Yingni's shares in the stock market. This discovery makes him deeply worried and he has to be more vigilant to prevent any accidents.

"Why has no one paid attention to Qingzhou Yingni's stocks for a long time? Now, are there two forces involved?" Halil Centurion muttered to himself, but he did not say it out loud.

"Mr. Lin, in principle I agree that you become the vice chairman of Qingzhou Yingni, but this requires a vote of the board of directors. After all, this will require the company's original vice chairman to give up his position. But Mr. Lin, please rest assured that I will vote for you. I like dealing with young talents the most!" Halil Centurion said solemnly.

At this moment, he temporarily put aside his worries about Lin Haoran, but he was somewhat worried about another potential threat.

So, he decided to win over Lin Haoran.

Once he brings the young man Lin Haoran into his team, and with the support of other shareholders of the company, he will naturally no longer worry about this unknown force.

"In that case, I feel more relieved. With the strong support of Mr. Halil, I believe I can successfully become the vice chairman of Qingzhou Yingni." Lin Haoran's face was filled with an excited smile.

Halil Centurion looked at Lin Haoran's young and energetic face, and thought to himself: "He is still young, and the position of vice chairman is enough to make him so satisfied."

Lin Haoran's reaction made Halil Centurion very satisfied, and he couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.

If Lin Haoran continues like this, it will naturally not pose much of a threat to his position.

Even if his shares are slightly higher than his, so what? With the support of other British shareholders, Lin Haoran's slight advantage does not pose any threat to his position at all.

Even if Lin Wanan is in control personally, he is more worried, but he is not without the power to resist. On the contrary, this is because this is his home court and the advantage is on his side!

After all, he felt that his roots in Qingzhou Yingni were deep and could not be easily shaken.

Looking at Halil Centurion's expression, Lin Haoran knew that his initial plan to infiltrate the Qingzhou Yingni board of directors was basically successful.

Lin Haoran's current age is his best disguise, which makes it easy for people to let down their guard and win their trust.

First, he would join the board of directors of Qingzhou Yingni, slowly get to know the company, secretly investigate the profits of Qingzhou Yingni over the years, and at the same time, secretly continue to absorb the shares of Qingzhou Yingni. When his shares reach 40%, Halil Centurion would no longer be a threat to him, and it would be natural for him to take over Qingzhou Yingni.

"Mr. Halil, when will the board meeting be held?" Lin Haoran showed his impatience.

Seeing Lin Haoran's performance, Khalil Centurion felt more relieved.

"The board meeting needs to be arranged at least one day in advance so that board members have enough time to prepare for the meeting. Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, I will call all board members one by one later. We can hold a board meeting as early as tomorrow!" Halil Centurion said with a smile.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Mr. Halil." Lin Haoran nodded.

"Well, I will call Mr. Lin after the time is confirmed!" Khalil Centurion continued.
