In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 92 I Want to Be the God of Bargain Hunting

"Husband, what is going on?" Cao Shaoling's voice was trembling a little.

Because she paid attention to the news in advance, she had a more comprehensive understanding of the news and felt mixed emotions.

"I'm fucking confused too!" Lin Hao Ning's answer was filled with anger and helplessness. His expression was as miserable as clothes soaked by a sudden storm.

He could never have imagined that his own brother would become the chairman of Qingzhou Yingni Company. This was a heavy blow to his carefully planned competition plan.

"Haoran has become the helmsman of Qingzhou Yingni? How can this competition... continue?" Lin Hao Ning's heart was filled with bitterness and unwillingness.

Originally, he thought that with the help of the Cao family, he was not far from the throne of heir, but now this sudden change made all his efforts seem to have come to nothing.

Thinking back to his previous plans, Lin Hao Ning felt mixed emotions.

He originally thought that Wanfeng Fan Factory's soaring performance due to Middle East orders would be a major bargaining chip for him in this family rivalry.

But now, compared with the market value of Qingzhou Yingni, the success of Wanfeng Fan Factory seems so insignificant.

Lin Haoran's net worth has even surpassed that of his father Lin Wanan. How can he compete with him?

Seeing this, Cao Shaoling tried hard to calm herself down. She knew that panicking at the moment would be useless.

"Haoning, we need to analyze calmly. How could Lin Haoran raise such a huge amount of money to acquire Qingzhou Yingni? Even if your father and my Cao family join forces, it would be difficult to achieve. You should call Dad right away. Maybe he can give us some clues."

Ten minutes later, Lin Hao Ning got the answer from his father. It turned out that all this was achieved by Lin Haoran alone. Even Lin Wanan only learned the truth in recent days.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Hao Ning fell into deep thought. His father's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart again and again.

When faced with such a monstrous brother, he suddenly felt that all his efforts seemed so insignificant and powerless.

"Maybe I should really let go." Lin Hao Ning felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.

He knew that even with the full support of the Cao family, he would not be able to compete with his younger brother Lin Haoran.

In this family power game, he seems to have been eliminated early.

……

After the press conference, Lin Haoran and Khalil Centurion conducted a work handover, which can be said to be a good start and a good end.

After Halil Centurion dealt with the Qingzhou Yingni matter, he couldn't wait to leave the company. He no longer wanted to stay in this place.

The next thing he had to do was to dispose of all his businesses in Hong Kong as quickly as possible.

Halil no longer has any attachment to this once prosperous city. Every brick and tile seems to have lost its former appeal.

Ziegler and the other four naturally followed him from Hong Kong back to England. They were all brought here by him.

Qingzhou Yingni implements two shifts in daily production, with 7 o'clock in the morning and 7 o'clock in the evening as the shift change times.

However, at seven o'clock tonight, the company's grassroots and middle-level management did not hand over their shifts.

At this moment, they all gathered in a large conference room in Qingzhou Building.

All the management of Qingzhou Yingni Company, from the general manager to the team leader and captain of a group, are sitting in the conference room at this moment.

Lin Haoran sat in the main seat in the conference room, looking at the managers on both sides, feeling filled with emotion.

"Mr. Chairman, there are 12 senior managers, 48 ​​middle managers, and 186 grassroots managers. All of them are here, without a single one absent." Burton respectfully handed a list to Lin Haoran's desk.

Lin Haoran nodded, flipped through the list casually, and put it down.

Among the 12 senior managers, 11 are foreigners and only 1 is Chinese, and this Chinese was promoted by Lin Haoran just today.

This Chinese executive was Liu Zhenxing, who had previously provided Lin Haoran with a lot of useful information.

Liu Zhenxing was originally a supervisor in the quality department. After Lin Haoran took office, he directly promoted him to director of the quality department.

As for the original director of the quality department, he was demoted to deputy director.

There are 48 middle-level managers, 41 of whom are foreigners and only 7 are local Chinese in Hong Kong.

From this we can see that it is extremely difficult for Chinese in Hong Kong to succeed in British-owned enterprises, as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Lin Haoran specially visited a number of middle and low-level employees, and they all had good opinions about these seven Hong Kong Chinese middle-level managers.

These people, who can work their way up to middle-level leadership in Qingzhou Yingni Company, are definitely capable of becoming senior management.

As for grassroots cadres, foreigners also account for half of them.

The main purpose of Lin Haoran convening this meeting was to let these people know that from now on, he has the final say and he is the boss of Qingzhou Yingni.

In addition, he also took this opportunity to get to know the management of Qingzhou Yingni. After the meeting, Lin Haoran kept Burton.

"Mr. Burton, you have worked so hard today." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"No, no, this is my duty. I am deeply honored and full of energy to be promoted by you as the general manager of Qingzhou Yingni." Burton responded sincerely.

"Through tonight's management meeting, I have a clearer understanding of the management structure of Qingzhou Yingni. I have discovered a problem that cannot be ignored. After all, Hong Kong is a city dominated by Chinese, and many of our customer groups are Chinese real estate developers. However, the management is almost entirely British. Mr. Burton, do you understand what I mean?" Lin Haoran looked at Burton and asked.

Burton understood and replied with a smile: "Boss, I understand what you mean. Indeed, there are many outstanding management talents among the local Chinese. I will actively discover and promote them to balance the composition of the management team."

“Very good, Mr. Burton. What we need is a diversified and efficient management team. Those capable senior executives should naturally stay in their positions, but for those who are incompetent but occupy key positions, we need to make adjustments.

My expectation is that Chinese and foreign middle and senior leaders can each account for half of the country. Hong Kong's business environment is prosperous and there are many talents. If we cannot meet the demand internally, we might as well introduce it from outside. Do you understand what I mean?" Lin Haoran further elaborated.

"I totally understand, boss." Burton nodded in agreement.

"I see you didn't sleep well last night, and you've been busy all day today. Go back and rest early. Starting tomorrow, the company will have many things that require your efforts and dedication." Lin Haoran patted Burton's shoulder with concern, signaling that he could leave.

Watching Burton leave, Lin Haoran sat alone in the main seat and began to think.

The matter of Qingzhou Yingni Company was successfully resolved.

He was no longer in a hurry to plan the layout of Qingzhou Yingni Company, because the company was already under his complete management and he was no longer afraid that others would snatch Qingzhou Yingni Company away from him.

Therefore, the next thing he has to do is to make money!

He still had 6300 million Hong Kong dollars available, but this amount of money was too little for him.

A Qingzhou Cement Company alone was far from enough to satisfy him.

He has no intention of developing the business slowly.

The simplest and quickest way is to acquire more high-quality companies.

In his previous life, why was Li Jiacheng able to become the richest Chinese for so many years?

It was because he kept buying up high-quality companies at bargain prices during his development projects, which allowed his career to double.

Looking back at the legendary journey of Li Jiacheng in his previous life, he was simply a god of bottom picking.

From purchasing land at low prices in 1967, to bottom-fishing in real estate in 1972, to bottom-fishing in Wing Gao Company in 1977, to bottom-fishing in Hutchison Whampoa in 1978 and selling it to Pao Yue-kong, to the acquisition of Ching Chau Cement, to the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa in 1979, staging the myth of an ant swallowing an elephant, to the acquisition of telecommunications company Orange for HK$1993 billion in 84, to the sale of Orange for HK$1999 billion in , to the later investment in technology stocks such as Facebook, making profits hundreds of times, and so on.

All these stories tell Lin Haoran that it is impossible to surpass others, accumulate wealth at a faster rate, and stand at the top of the business world by running a business honestly.

If Li Jiacheng had just run his plastic rubber factory honestly, he would at most have become a wealthy man with some assets.

If Li Ka-shing had just run the Cheung Kong Group, which is mainly engaged in real estate, he would eventually become just one of the richest people in Hong Kong.

To become a top billionaire, one must have a keen sense of the market, a spirit of daring to take risks, and accurate investment vision, and constantly look for and seize "bottom-fishing" opportunities in the market.

Therefore, what Lin Haoran has to do is to become a bottom-picking god like Li Jiacheng!
Of course, the acquired companies must also be managed well, otherwise the assets will eventually be squandered.

In the eyes of others, it is too difficult to buy at the bottom. This requires a foresight. Otherwise, let alone buying at the bottom, it would be good enough if you don’t lose your own capital.

But Lin Haoran is different. He possesses prophetic memory that is decades ahead.

Even if what he wrote down among these memories was just a rough outline, it was enough.

For example, in the current Wharf Holdings acquisition campaign, if he was not aware of the Wharf Holdings acquisition campaign and saw in the newspaper that Bao Yugang said that he had no intention of continuing to acquire more Wharf shares, he would definitely believe it.

After all, any normal person would think that since Bao Yugang spent so much money to acquire Li Jiacheng’s Wharf Holdings shares, he must be running out of funds, and it is normal for him to stop acquiring Wharf Holdings shares.

But it was precisely because Lin Haoran traveled through time from the future that he knew that Bao Yugang not only had sufficient funds, but had also already decided to abandon the boat and land, so he acted decisively.

Although it was unable to participate in the acquisition battle of Hutchison Whampoa due to its low strength, it had no problem getting a piece of the pie by taking advantage of the gap between Bao Yugang and the Jardine Matheson Group.

Just from this one piece of pie, he earned 70 million Hong Kong dollars.

Therefore, we must continue to buy at the bottom.

Maybe one day he will become the richest man in the world by copying.

Of course, he is currently far from being the richest man in the world.

The journey is long and it will take a long time to reach the destination.

But he is not short of time, he is only 24 years old, there is still plenty of time...
