In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 85 Made History
Lin Wanan’s office in the Wanan Group’s headquarters building.

Lin Wanan was a little surprised to see Lin Haoran coming over.

This month, he rarely saw his son come here.

"What's the matter? Have you encountered any difficulties in your role as vice chairman of Qingzhou Yingni?" Lin Wanan asked with a smile.

"Dad, this time I came here, I really want to ask you something, and it is related to Qingzhou Yingni." Lin Haoran said truthfully.

Now that I am preparing to take over Qingzhou Yingni Company, it is time to reveal more about my work at Qingzhou Yingni to Lin Wanan.

"Go ahead and tell me. Dad has been in business for many years and I have quite a bit of experience in business matters. I can definitely give you some pertinent advice." Lin Wanan said seriously.

"Daddy, I want to tell you something. I plan to take over Qingzhou Yingni in the next two days, but I don't have enough experience. There are some things I can only ask you, Daddy. I also want you to help me take over Qingzhou Yingni. After all, I am alone and weak!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"You're crazy, how is this possible? Even if you are the major shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni now, your shares can't bring down Halil Centurion at all. His control over Qingzhou Yingni is not as simple as you think. I have had contact with Halil Centurion many times, and this guy is not as simple as you think!" Hearing Lin Haoran's words, Lin Wanan felt that he was thinking things too simply.

"Dad, what if the shares I control exceed one-third, or even more!"

"One third? It's still possible. I heard that Qingzhou Yingni has several Chinese shareholders. If you can get the support of these Chinese shareholders, you may have a chance to overthrow Halil Centurion and become the relative controlling shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni. But how is it possible for you to control so many shares of Qingzhou Yingni?" Lin Wanan was a little unconvinced.

A few days ago, he saw in the newspaper that his son held 13.7% of Qingzhou Yingni shares, becoming the major shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni and officially serving as vice chairman.

How many days has it been?

How can this be.

"Hao'er, are you crazy about becoming the chairman of Qingzhou Yingni?" Lin Wanan came to Lin Haoran and looked at him carefully to see if there was anything abnormal about him.

"Dad, I'm not crazy. I'll tell you the truth. I now hold 40% of Qingzhou Yingni's shares. Even if the shares of all the members of the Qingzhou Yingni board of directors are added together, they are not as much as mine. I was just acting in secret before and didn't tell anyone. I only revealed to the public that I own 13.7% of Qingzhou Yingni's shares.

Do you remember the bet I made with you? At that time, I actually controlled more than 30% of the shares of Qingzhou Yingni. This is why I was so confident in making the bet with you, Dad, because Qingzhou Yingni, this company, basically could not escape from my palm.

In the past few days, I have accelerated the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni shares again, and today it has exceeded 40%. This shareholding is enough to force me to take the stage. I didn’t bring the stock certificate this time, so I can’t prove it to you, Dad, but I am telling the truth, there is no need to lie to you. "Lin Haoran said.

Seeing that Lin Haoran's expression was serious and he didn't seem to be joking, Lin Wanan also calmed down: "Hao'er, tell me, where did you get so much money? 40% of Qingzhou Yingni's shares are worth at least more than million Hong Kong dollars, which is enough to buy a Wanan Group."

This was beyond Lin Wanan's imagination.

If it was only 13.7% of the shares, Lin Wanan could still understand it. Lin Haoran had told him before that the funds were earned from Wharf Holdings, but it was impossible to earn so much, right? More than million yuan in funds.

This is 40% of Qingzhou Yingni’s shares. It’s too outrageous. Even Lin Wanan can’t do it.

Unless he uses Wan'an Group as collateral and borrows money from the bank, he can indeed raise the funds, but he is not so stupid as to do that.

So, at this moment he was extremely curious about how Lin Haoran obtained such huge funds to control so many shares.

"Dad, I did sell more than 110 million Hong Kong dollars in Wharf Holdings. I told you before that I made several times the profit with the help of Wharf Holdings. This deal was reached between me and Mr. Bao Yugang. I brought all the previous transaction contracts with me." After Lin Haoran finished speaking, he took out the share transfer contract signed with Bao Yugang from his bag and handed it to Lin Wanan.

147.8 million shares of Wharf Holdings, HK$75.53 per share, with a total transaction amount of HK$11163 million!
At the back, there are the signatures of Lin Haoran and Bao Yugang respectively.

Seeing this, Lin Wanan believed it.

If this amount of funds is used secretly to absorb Qingzhou Yingni shares, it will indeed be enough to control more than 40% of the shares.

This is actually true. Lin Haoran acquired 2005 million shares of Qingzhou Yingni for a total of HK$10486 million.

The only thing he concealed was the source of his funds, which Lin Haoran certainly did not intend to tell Lin Wanan in detail. After all, he still owed 100 million Hong Kong dollars, so there was no need to tell his father about it.

Of course, he still has HK$6300 million in available funds, so his debt ratio is actually not high, and can even be said to be very low.

"Good, good, my son has grown up and is more successful than your father!" Lin Wanan was full of satisfaction. This was indeed beyond his imagination, but the result was happy.

This contract cannot be fake. He can still tell whether Bao Yugang's signature and seal on it are real or fake. In other words, his son really made more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars by relying on Hutchison Whampoa shares.

No matter how capable his son is, he is still his son. How can he not be happy?

"Daddy, this is why I am so confident in the bet. Don't blame me for setting a trap for you!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"Hao'er, you have created a new history. You really give face to our Lin family. How can I blame you? You know, before this, there has never been a record of Chinese capital holding British listed companies. Even Mr. Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong Group had only acquired an American listed company before. British companies are rarely acquired by Chinese, let alone a British listed company!" Lin Wanan was really happy at this moment. Seeing his son doing such a big thing, how could he not be happy.

My son is more capable than I am. In just two or three months, he has achieved what I have achieved in a lifetime of hard work in starting a business.

He did feel a little bitter, but he was more relieved and happy because this was his son, not someone else.

A listed British-owned enterprise, this is definitely a history-making enterprise in Hong Kong's business community. Although Ching Chau British Ni cannot be compared with giants such as Wharf Holdings, Hutchison Whampoa, Swire Properties, and Jardine Matheson, it is also a listed company with a market value of over HK$200 million.

But now, his son has quietly acquired 40% of Qingzhou Yingni's shares, which makes it easy for him to take over Qingzhou Yingni and become the real owner of Qingzhou Yingni.

At this moment, Lin Wanan seemed to have seen that in the near future, the Lin family, relying on Lin Haoran's business talent, would gradually climb to the ranks of Hong Kong's top wealthy families.

"But I don't know if I can live to see that day." Thinking of his physical condition, Lin Wanan couldn't help but sigh.

He knew his own situation and had been to many well-known large hospitals. The doctors all advised him to take good care of himself and that he still had a chance to recover, otherwise he would not live long if he continued like this.

This is also the reason why he wants to hand over the family business to the next generation as soon as possible.

Now, seeing that Lin Haoran has such ability, he has regarded his youngest son as his heir.

"Dad, in addition to asking you to help me take over Qingzhou Yingni, I have something else to tell you. Through my investigation, Qingzhou Yingni is much more complicated than I imagined. This is why I have not revealed that I control so many Qingzhou Yingni shares."

As Lin Haoran spoke, he told Lin Wanan in detail what he had learned about Qingzhou Yingni during this period, as well as some rumors he had heard from Liu Zhenxing last night.

After listening to this, Lin Wanan did not rush to answer, but frowned and thought.

After a long time, he said: "Khalil Centurion has been able to control Qingzhou Yingni for more than ten years, so his methods must be extraordinary. These rumors are probably true. It is not difficult to find the problem, provided that you control the financial department of Qingzhou Yingni.

But there is a solution. We can directly dismiss the chairman, Halil Centurion, and the director of finance through the board of directors. As for finance, I can let the financial director of our Wan'an Group temporarily follow him. As long as we control the information of the finance department, we can naturally find some problems quickly.

If Khalil Centurion knows what to do, he should quit Qingzhou Yingni. Otherwise, you can report it to the Securities Regulatory Commission. If the investigation results show that Khalil Centurion has violated the law, he will not only be fined, but also imprisoned. Without Khalil Centurion, you will be able to easily control the company after you take over Qingzhou Yingni. "

Lin Haoran nodded and said, "Dad, I have these considerations as well, so I came to you. I want to take control of Qingzhou Yingni as soon as possible, because I have other plans in the near future and don't have much time to waste on Qingzhou Yingni.

But as a major shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni, I can call the board of directors to hold a board meeting. Maybe they can drag it out for ten days or half a month. After all, I am not Halil Centurion. I can't gather everyone in one day to hold a board meeting. So I want to see if you have any way to hold this board meeting as soon as possible. "

In fact, Lin Haoran could have put it off until he finished his work and returned to Hong Kong, but he already knew about Khalil Centurion's infringement of the company's rights and interests, and naturally did not want to see this company, which actually belonged to him, continue in this way.

Therefore, he should convene a board meeting as soon as possible and kick the other party out of office, preferably out of Qingzhou Yingni Company.
