Lin Haoran was not a fool, so he naturally understood Huo Jianning’s detailed explanation.

At this moment, after hearing what Huo Jianning said, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Indeed, I had thought too much before and had fallen into a misunderstanding.

Just as Ho Kin Ning said, once the entire Hutchison Whampoa Group is successfully privatized, it means that in the future there will only be him as the boss of the Hutchison Whampoa Group and there will no other shareholders.

In other words, the money of the Jardine Matheson Group naturally becomes his money.

Now, there is a lot of cash flow in the account of the Jardine Matheson Group. Once he successfully privatizes the Jardine Matheson Group, he can naturally use the money as he pleases.

The most important thing is that once the shares held by Jardine Matheson and Hutchison Whampoa are successfully exchanged, the 30.2% shares held by Jardine Matheson will return to Hutchison Whampoa.

At that time, Lin Haoran can buy these 30.2% shares as an investor. At that time, the money he spends on these 30.2% shares will naturally be deposited into the account of the Real Estate Group.

Then after he privatizes the Jardine Matheson Group, won’t the money still be his?

What does this mean? It means he can get the 30.3% stake for free!
The remaining shares in the secondary market and the shares of the Hutchison Whampoa Group held by the British financial consortium are what he has to buy with real money.

The shares held by these British financial groups are only about 10%, and the shares of the Swire Group in the secondary market are only about 12.5%.

In other words, the shares of the Swire Group that he had to buy with money were actually only these 22.5% shares.

Even based on the current market value of the Hong Kong Land Group, he would only need to pay more than HK$22.5 billion for these % shares.

Is more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars a pressure for him?

There is no pressure at all.

Apart from anything else, he still has HK$13.85 billion on hand, and the Swire Group now has HK$7.7 million in available funds, which is more than HK$21 billion.

After everything was cleared up, Lin Haoran suddenly felt enlightened.

I had indeed fallen into a misunderstanding before.

Billions of dollars in debt inevitably put him under considerable pressure.

But after Huo Jianning’s analysis, he realized that he was worrying too much.

Lin Haoran’s mood became more relaxed as his thoughts became clearer.

He began to realize that his previous worries and anxieties were largely due to his one-sided understanding of the situation, and Huo Jianning’s meticulous analysis was like a key that unlocked the knot that had troubled him for so long.

“Jianning, thank you so much. Your analysis gave me an epiphany.” Lin Haoran said sincerely.

If his previous recognition of Huo Jianning was mainly based on his understanding and admiration of the glorious deeds of this business tycoon in his previous life, then at this moment, he truly felt Huo Jianning’s outstanding talent and profound insight.

Every word and every analysis of Huo Jianning was like a precise scalpel, going straight to the core of the problem and opening up a whole new perspective for Lin Haoran.

If such talents were recruited by Li Jiacheng, they would undoubtedly be a force that cannot be underestimated and would be a huge loss for anyone.

Fortunately, with his keen intuition and decisive actions, Lin Haoran took the lead in bringing Huo Jianning into his team.

This opportunity made him feel extremely fortunate and satisfied.

Thinking of this, Lin Haoran couldn’t help but break into a brilliant smile. It was a smile that was full of confidence in the future, and also a sincere admiration for Huo Jianning’s abilities.

Because he knew that with a think tank like Huo Jianning, his business empire would become more stable and powerful.

“Boss, these are just my personal opinions. It’s what I should do!” Huo Jianning said modestly.

“Do you want to join the Jardine Mathematics Group? If you are willing, I can arrange for you to become Mr. Ma Shiming’s assistant. Moreover, when the time is right in the future, it is not impossible for you to directly lead a subsidiary of the Jardine Mathematics Group, such as Dairy Farm International.” Lin Haoran suddenly proposed.

Being the assistant to Ma Shiming, the head of the Landmark Group, means that he is already a senior executive of the Landmark Group.

Huo Jianning’s talent has won his deep recognition, and in his heart, Huo Jianning has even become the ideal successor to Mr. Ma Shiming.

Fok Kin Ning shook his head slightly and said, “Boss, I have not been in Hong Kong Electric Group for less than a year. Changing positions so frequently, and even frequently jumping to new companies, is not very beneficial to my career development.

I have just established myself in Hong Kong Electric Group, and it is not suitable for me to adapt to a completely new environment again. Although Hong Kong Land is much stronger than Hong Kong Electric Group, Hong Kong Electric Group is also quite large at present. I plan to work hard in Hong Kong Electric Group for a while. If I am interested in joining Hong Kong Land in the future, I will discuss it with you in advance. “

Today, the market value of HK Electric Group has exceeded HK$3 billion. Although there is a big gap with Hong Kong Land Development, as one of the top ten listed companies in Hong Kong, HK Electric Group also has a diversified development path and is steadily moving towards internationalization.

Therefore, Hong Kong Electric Group is also a good choice for Fok Kin Ning. What he needs now is to accumulate experience in corporate management.

“Okay, since you think this is more suitable, I fully support you. Whenever you consider transferring to the Jardine Matheson Group, feel free to tell me. I am full of confidence in your future!” Lin Haoran responded with a smile.

“Thank you boss for your training!” Huo Jianning said gratefully.

He knew very well that the boss treated him like this because he regarded him as his confidant and the most reliable and important assistant in the future.

For a man who is less than 30 years old, how could he not be moved by such trust and respect!

“By the way, I am about to start negotiations with the British financial group. Mr. Chen mentioned to me before that you have demonstrated strong communication and coping skills during the negotiations, and have helped him successfully negotiate several projects.

I am not particularly good at this, especially this time I am facing many big bosses of British financial groups, I am really not sure, how about this, you will temporarily serve as my assistant, assist me in the negotiations, help me to gain more benefits, I will naturally not treat you unfairly! “Lin Haoran suddenly made a request to Huo Jianning.

“Okay, boss. If you need me at any time, just let me know and I will be on standby. However, before the negotiation, I need detailed information of both parties, as well as your psychological bottom line for the negotiation. Only in this way can I help you more effectively!” Huo Jianning responded seriously.

“Okay, I will immediately arrange for someone to prepare a detailed document when I return, and then I will give it to you. But you must remember that these matters must be kept strictly confidential and must not be disclosed to anyone. Only you know about them.

Regarding my intention conditions and bottom line, I will find a suitable time to discuss with you in detail. For safety reasons, we will not put these contents in writing!” Lin Haoran warned seriously.

Faced with such a major event involving hundreds of millions or even billions of interests, even Lin Haoran was extremely cautious.

“Don’t worry, boss. I understand!” Huo Jianning responded solemnly.

Looking at Huo Jianning’s loyalty level of 96, Lin Haoran was full of trust in him.

“Then you go ahead and do your work. I have to go back and prepare. Regarding the Hong Kong Electric Group, I will talk to Mr. Chen and will not put you in an awkward position. What is the current situation of your department? Are there any urgent tasks in the work you have taken over?” Lin Haoran asked with concern.

“Boss, my main job right now is to assist the financial director. Even if I’m away from work for a short period of time, there won’t be any big problems and it won’t have much impact on the department’s operations,” Huo Jianning replied.

“Well, that’s good. I’ll go back first. You should be off work at six o’clock in the afternoon, right? When the time comes, come to Kangle Building and I’ll give you the information. Remember, the content of the information cannot be known to anyone, including your family!” Lin Haoran said solemnly again.

“Okay, boss!” Huo Jianning nodded heavily in response.

Seeing that Chen Shoulin would not return to the company in the short term, Lin Haoran decided not to stay any longer and left after saying a brief goodbye to Huo Jianning.

This time when he came to the Hong Kong Electric Group, the result was satisfactory to him.

After leaving the Hong Kong Electric Group, Lin Haoran returned to the Connaught Building again.

Last night at the Governor’s Mansion, he and the British financial groups did not set the next discussion time.

Because both parties understand very well that now that the discussions have reached that stage, the next step is to consider their respective bottom lines and think about how to maximize their benefits in the negotiations.

All of these require time to prepare.

Otherwise, even if negotiations are conducted hastily, insufficient preparation may lead to unhappiness on both sides and ultimately result in no results.

After returning to the Hutchison Whampoa Group, Lin Haoran found Ma Shiming again and asked him to prepare a detailed information of the Hutchison Whampoa Group and Jardine Matheson, including the current funds in the accounts of the Hutchison Whampoa Group and Jardine Matheson, shareholder structure, stock market value, etc.

These materials were naturally prepared for Huo Jianning.

As for the bottom line of the negotiations, after agreeing on a negotiation time with the British financial group, he would ask Huo Jianning out in advance to discuss his ideas with him in detail.

After that, Lin Haoran didn’t go anywhere and just stayed in Kangle Building.

He spent the entire afternoon thinking about what his bottom line would be when negotiating with these British financial groups.

Lin Haoran sat in the office, writing and drawing seriously, recording his various ideas bit by bit.

He knew that only by being fully prepared could he gain the greatest benefit in the negotiations.

Otherwise, if he is not well prepared, he might become a “big fish” in the eyes of those British financial groups.

Time passes quietly while thoughts are flying.

Suddenly, the ringing of the office phone broke the silence.

Lin Haoran put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows gently, then picked up the phone and said calmly: “Hello, this is Lin Haoran.” (End of this chapter)
