“Boss, based on my previous experience of following Mr. Chen in the negotiations, these people should eventually agree. I can feel that they are determined to acquire Jardine Matheson.” Standing in the elevator, Huo Jianning said to Lin Haoran with a smile.

“I don’t really care whether they agree or not. If they agree, I will consider giving up Jardine Matheson and start privatizing the Hong Kong Land Group; if they don’t agree, I will continue to manage Jardine Matheson. No matter what the outcome is, it won’t be much of a loss for me.” Lin Haoran responded with a smile.

“That’s true. Given your current situation, boss, they are the ones who should be worried!” Huo Jianning nodded in agreement.

“Since today’s negotiations cannot be advanced for the time being, I will take you to the Kangle Building to see the Jardine Maison. If you are interested in going there in the future, I can transfer you at any time. As for the Hong Kong Electric Group, I have already communicated with Mr. Chen, and he will temporarily arrange for you to take paid leave, so you don’t need to worry about your work there.” Lin Haoran continued.

Lin Haoran was very satisfied with Huo Jianning’s performance at the negotiation table today.

Huo Jianning, who is only 29 years old, has demonstrated such extraordinary courage and insight, far beyond his expectations.

After all, the reason why Lin Haoran was so calm was because he had the confidence.

And Huo Jianning, after all, is just a working professional. It is not something that ordinary people can do to be able to show such demeanor in front of so many industry leaders.

Given time, and after another two or three years of training, he will definitely become a rare and important assistant.

Such talents are naturally valued by Lin Haoran.

“I’m so flattered to receive such kindness from the boss!” Huo Jianning said with emotion.

There is no doubt how much the boss values ​​him!
This gave Huo Jianning a strong sense of belonging, as if he had found a boss who was worthy of his full efforts.

The two men, accompanied by a group of bodyguards, left the Jardine House and headed directly to the Connaught Building.

A few minutes later, the convoy had entered the underground parking garage of Kangle Building.

Taking the elevator, we soon arrived at Ma Shiming’s office.

At this moment, Ma Shiming was on the phone. When he saw Lin Haoran and Huo Jianning come in, he pointed at the receiver and said he would talk later.

A few minutes later, Ma Shiming finally hung up the phone.

“Boss, I heard that you had negotiations with the British consortium of Jardine Matheson today. What was the result?” Ma Shiming looked at Lin Haoran and asked curiously.

“This kind of thing can’t be negotiated so easily. We are still in a stalemate. It depends on how they discuss it in the end.” Lin Haoran replied with a smile.

“Indeed, after all, it is about the controlling rights of Jardine Matheson. How can such a major matter be easily negotiated!” Ma Shiming nodded in agreement.

“By the way, this is Mr. Ho Kin Ning, my temporary negotiation assistant. He is currently the deputy director of the finance department of Hong Kong Electric Group and a young man with great management potential. You can get to know each other and communicate with each other. Maybe I will transfer him to the Hong Kong Land Development in the future and he will become an important senior executive of the Hong Kong Land Development.” Lin Haoran pointed at Ho Kin Ning and introduced him to Ma Shiming.

Although Ma Shiming didn’t take it seriously, he felt that Huo Jianning was too young and wouldn’t be that great.

After all, when he was 29 years old, Ma Shiming was just a low-level manager at Jardine Matheson.

But after all, he was someone the boss had high hopes for, so he also shook hands with Huo Jianning solemnly.

“Mr. Ma, I have admired you for a long time and have always wanted to learn from you.” Huo Jianning was quite excited to see Ma Shiming.

“You can communicate more, Mr. Ma. After all, you used to be a senior executive of Jardine Matheson and are very familiar with the company. Mr. Huo Jianning is now my temporary negotiation assistant, so please tell him more details about Jardine Matheson. I will go to the next office to make a call.” Lin Haoran said to them.

After saying that, he left Ma Shiming’s office and came to an empty office.

Lin Haoran has directly given Bao Fuda’s office to Ma Shiming.

After all, he seldom comes here, and it would be a waste for him to occupy such a large office. It would be better to let Ma Shiming have a good office environment to manage the group for him.

I looked at the time. It’s only about eleven o’clock in the morning. It’s still early!

After sitting down, Lin Haoran made a direct call to Su Zhixue.

Prior to this, Lin Haoran instructed Su Zhixue to make preparations and take the team to New York, USA.

For this, Lin Haoran gave him a week to prepare.

Now, only a short time has passed, and Su Zhixue is naturally still in Hong Kong.

Not long after the call, Su Zhixue answered the phone.

“Zhixue, how are your arrangements going?” Lin Haoran asked directly.

“Boss, out of the 285 people in the company, 223 are finally willing to go to the United States. The rest will stay in our Hong Kong base. The list has basically been finalized. The next step is to give them some time to prepare. By then we will prepare to charter a plane to New York!” Su Zhixue replied.

“Well, that’s very good, but you have to delay your trip to the United States for the time being. I have an important task for you now, which is also your last work task before staying in Hong Kong!” Lin Haoran said with a smile.

“Boss, please give me your orders!” Su Zhixue replied respectfully.

Su Zhixue has always been 100% obedient to Lin Haoran’s arrangements.

“I want you to mobilize your team to buy as many shares of the Landmark Group as you can. There is no upper limit. As for the strength of the purchase, you should understand that the share price of the Landmark Group is still good. I don’t want you to raise it too high!” Lin Haoran continued. This was the purpose of his call to Su Zhixue.

Since those British financial groups are unlikely to give up their controlling stake in Jardine Matheson, it is necessary for him to continue planning the privatization of the Hutchison Whampoa Group.

After he seized the shares of the Hutchison Whampoa Group from the British financial consortium and Jardine Matheson, he could directly announce the privatization of the Hutchison Whampoa Group.

Although privatization can be enforced by policy, some people may be unwilling to sell their shares after learning that Lin Haoran wants to privatize the Swire Properties Group.

Therefore, while the news had not yet been announced, he directly asked Su Zhixue to take the initiative and absorb as much as he could.

How much can be absorbed in the end, we will just let nature take its course.

With the current corporate funds of Huanyu Investment Company, it is sufficient to cope with acquisitions in the secondary market.

“Okay, boss. I’ll arrange it right away!” Su Zhixue replied.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Haoran sat in a chair and began to think.

As for how much the Universal Investment Company can absorb, he doesn’t care. As for those that cannot be absorbed, he can just leave it to an old hand like Huoduoli.

He is determined to privatize the Jardine Matheson Group!

It would be a waste if Lin Haoran did not seize the good opportunity to privatize such a high-quality enterprise.

As he was thinking, the pager on his waist started to vibrate.

Lin Haoran picked it up and looked at it, but he didn’t know who the call was from.

However, it did not stop him from calling back directly in the office.

“Boss, my name is Cui Zilong. I have good news to tell you. The secret guard team has completed formal training and screening. They have passed the assessment by us and international security experts and are ready to join your security protection team at any time. If you are free, you can come to Saigon!” Cui Zilong said excitedly on the phone.

“Okay, I have nothing to do right now, I’ll be there right away.” Lin Haoran answered directly after hearing this.

He had been looking forward to this secret guard team for a long time.

Now, he can finally join the team and provide protection for him, so he is naturally very excited.

This is better than going out with a dozen bodyguards openly every day.

That would be too conspicuous, and Lin Haoran really didn’t like this feeling.

So he went to the next office and informed Ma Shiming and Huo Jianning.

At this moment, he found that Ma Shiming and Huo Jianning seemed to get along very well.

However, Lin Haoran didn’t care about that. He said something to them and left Kangle Building.

Accompanied by a dozen bodyguards, Lin Haoran left the Kangle Building again and headed directly towards Saigon.

Today’s schedule is a bit rushed.

However, when he thought that the secret guards could be included, he no longer cared about so much.

In this world, safety is always the most important thing!

If you are dead, no matter how much money you make, it will be of no use if you can’t enjoy it.

The addition of secret guards would definitely bring him greater security without being so conspicuous.

After half an hour’s journey, the car finally arrived smoothly at the Hong Kong Training Base of Global Security Consulting Company.

As soon as Lin Haoran got off the car, he saw Cui Zilong waiting with 13 young men in plain clothes but with sharp eyes and agile bodies.

These are the members of the secret guard team he has been waiting for for a long time. They have been strictly screened and professionally trained, and will soon become an important line of defense for his personal safety.

“Boss, this is our secret guard team. They are ready and can serve as your secret guard bodyguards at any time.” Cui Zilong introduced.

Lin Haoran looked at these young people carefully. Their eyes revealed determination and calmness. They were obviously elites who had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, “Very good, I will remember your efforts and dedication. From today on, you will be my personal bodyguards, but remember, your identities are different from ordinary bodyguards. You will follow me secretly as secret bodyguards to protect me.

You have all undergone rigorous training, so I don’t need to explain this to you. Li Weimin, Zhang Zhiwei, Ping Yaojie… From now on, my safety is in your hands!”

Lin Haoran called out the names of these 13 people accurately in succession. This action made the members of the secret guard team feel warm, and they also felt a little surprised and moved.

“Understood, Boss. We will protect your safety until our death!” The members of the secret guard team answered in unison, their voices firm and powerful, their eyes revealing their loyalty and determination to the Boss. (End of this chapter)
