Next, he went to Huifeng Bank and signed a privatization entrustment contract with Huoduoli Company.

As long as he entrusted the matter to the Waldorf Astoria Group, he would no longer have to worry about the privatization of the Hutchison Whampoa Group.

After all, he had successfully privatized two listed companies, Qingzhou Yingni Company and Wan’an Group, through Deli Company. He still had great confidence in the ability of Deli Company.

In the field of privatization of listed companies, Leli Company is the best in Hong Kong. Although he was unhappy with the previous practices of Huifeng Bank, he understood very well that this is how the business world is. When faced with interests, people will definitely make choices that are beneficial to themselves.

In order to maintain its dominant position in Hong Kong’s business community, Huifeng Bank will naturally try its best to obstruct Lin Haoran’s control over Jardine Matheson.

Just like how Bank of Hong Kong chose to help Chinese businessman Bao Yugang in order to make Jardine Matheson lose Wharf Holdings.

Although this strategy appears competitive, it is also reasonable, and Lin Haoran understands it.

After all, in Hong Kong’s relatively small business circle, people often see each other every day, and even if there are occasional frictions, they still need to maintain harmony on the surface.

What’s more, Lin Haoran himself is a member of the board of directors and shareholder of Huifeng Bank, although the shares he holds only account for 1% of Huifeng Bank.

However, he purchased this 1% stake at a price of HK$ million, and the value behind it cannot be underestimated.

Especially after forty years, the market value of Huifeng Bank will exceed one trillion Hong Kong dollars. The value of the 1% shares in Lin Haoran’s hands will soar to tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, which is undoubtedly a considerable fortune.

Therefore, although the two parties had differences on certain issues, Lin Haoran always believed that business competition is competition, but mutual respect and cooperation are still indispensable.

After arriving at the headquarters of Huifeng Bank, Lin Haoran first went to the manager’s office and met the manager, Mr. Shen Bi.

Shen Bi was obviously a little surprised at Lin Haoran’s arrival, but after learning the purpose of Lin Haoran’s visit, he suddenly realized it and was also extremely enthusiastic.

After all, the Swire Group is now destined to be controlled by Lin Haoran. For Huifeng Bank, there is not much difference between privatization and maintaining its status as a listed company.

It would be better to give face to Lin Haoran and help him settle the matter, which would also help Deli Company to negotiate a good business deal.

As for the previous unpleasantness that occurred between the two parties due to the controlling rights of Jardine Matheson, both Lin Haoran and Shen Bi chose to avoid talking about it, as if the incident had never existed.

They resumed their old ways of interacting and looked like close business partners again.

In the business world, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only interests are eternal.

Lin Haoran is no longer surprised by the hypocrisy and unpredictability here.

Shen Bi personally called and asked the general manager of Deli Company to come to his office to discuss the privatization of the Jardine Matheson Group with Lin Haoran.

With the assistance of the legal shares of Huanyu Investment Company, after more than two hours of discussion, Lin Haoran finally signed a privatization entrustment contract with the general manager of Deli Company.

Next, Lin Haoran would basically leave all the complicated matters regarding the privatization of the Hong Kong Land Group to the Huoduoli Company to handle.

The only thing Lin Haoran has to do is to pay!

When they learned that Lin Haoran already had the funds to buy back the 30.2% stake of the Jardine Matheson Group, both the general manager of Deli Company and the boss of Huifeng Bank, Shen Bi, were surprised.

This is 30.2% of the shares. According to the current stock market value, it is over billion Hong Kong dollars.

According to the Company Ordinance, if a company holds more than 90% of the shares, it can make a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shareholders of the Hong Kong Land Group.

Now, given Lin Haoran’s situation, the biggest obstacle is how to acquire these 30.2% shares for himself.

With these 30.2% shares, it would be basically no difficulty to carry out a compulsory acquisition.

In addition to these 30.2% of shares, there are nearly 10% of shares on the stock market. These shares are acquired by the profitable company. According to the mandatory price, these shares are worth HK$10 billion.

By this calculation, the funds that Lin Haoran personally needs to raise in the near future to privatize the Hong Kong Land Group will be more than HK$50 billion!
How did he get so much money?

Even if the Keswick family and the Rothschild family paid a high price to buy the 19% shares held by Lin Haoran, they would only get 19 billion Hong Kong dollars.

There is still a big gap from HK$50 billion.

What’s more, Lin Haoran had just borrowed HK$20 billion from Huifeng Bank a few months ago.

Needless to say, the HK$20 billion was used to secretly acquire shares of Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Holdings in recent days.

Therefore, even Shen Bi was shocked that Lin Haoran now had so much money to privatize the Jardine Matheson Group.

This was completely beyond his imagination.

This young man’s means of making money were much stronger than he had imagined. Even if he borrowed money from other financial institutions, it was enough to represent Lin Haoran’s strength. Being able to borrow so much money at one time was a sign of strength!
During the negotiation, Lin Haoran’s pager vibrated once. After he called back, it was just as he expected. It was the president of Citibank’s Hong Kong branch who called and told him that HK$30 billion had been deposited into Lin Haoran’s personal Citibank card.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Haoran also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he trusted Citibank very much and the contract was signed, he was still a little worried before the money arrived.

The amount of money involved is too huge, a full 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. In Hong Kong, 90% of the financial institutions cannot afford this amount of money.

Now that the money has arrived, he can naturally announce the privatization of the Hutchison Whampoa Group directly.

It is even possible to raise funds for the Hutchison Whampoa Group again.

After signing the entrustment contract for the privatization of the Hong Kong Land Group with Wal-Mart, Lin Haoran, accompanied by his lawyers and bodyguards, prepared to bid farewell to Bank of Hong Kong.

Before leaving, Shen Bi stopped Lin Haoran and said, “Mr. Lin, if you need a loan in the future, the door of Huifeng Bank is always open to you. Don’t forget that you are not only a shareholder of Huifeng Bank, but also an important member of our board of directors.

With the shares of various listed companies you hold as collateral, I can approve a considerable loan amount for you, and I will definitely give you a special preferential price for the interest rate! “

Lin Haoran paused for a moment, then turned around and responded to Shen Bi with a smile: “Okay, Mr. Shen Bi, I will definitely contact you if I need anything!”

After saying this, Lin Haoran left Huifeng Bank with his entourage, and ignored Shen Bi’s words.

With the high-quality businesses he owns today, it is indeed very easy for him to get a loan.

It took less than ten minutes for Lin Haoran to return to Kangle Building from the headquarters of Huifeng Bank and he was already in the elevator, heading directly to the top floor, the 51st floor.

When we got out of the elevator, Lin Haoran was already standing at the door of Ma Shiming’s office.

However, Ma Shiming was not in the office. He was apparently still dealing with various handover matters with Jardine Matheson.

Lin Haoran picked up the phone on the desk and called Niu Bijian’s office.

Soon, Niu Bijian answered the phone: “Hello, who is this?”

“Mr. Niu Bijian, I’m Lin Haoran. Is Mr. Ma Shiming here? If he is, could you please let him answer the phone?” Lin Haoran said with a smile.

“Oh, it’s Mr. Lin. Mr. Ma is next to me. I’ll transfer you right away.” Niu Bijian responded calmly.

Today, Jardine Matheson has nothing to do with Lin Haoran, and the arrogance of Lin Haoran has resurfaced.

Looking back on the days when he called Lin Haoran “boss”, for Niu Bijian, it was a humiliating history that he could not bear to recall.

Now that Lin Haoran is no longer his boss, he naturally feels relaxed and happy.

Soon, Lin Haoran heard Ma Shiming’s voice over the phone.

“Mr. Ma, how is the handover going?” Lin Haoran asked.

“Boss, everything is going smoothly, but it is true that due to the huge amount of assets and documents involved, some accounts are a bit confusing and need to be reorganized.

At the same time, there are some lost asset certificates that need to be identified, and the entire handover process is quite complicated. Therefore, it is estimated that it will take at least a week for us to completely complete the separation of assets and businesses between Hong Kong Land Group and Jardine Matheson.

My work is almost done. Next, various departments of the Jardine Matheson Group will be responsible for handling these matters, and I will just be responsible for presiding over the overall situation.

However, since Jardine Matheson is about to hold a press conference with Landmark Group, I cannot go back to the Connaught Building for the time being,” Ma Shiming replied.

“Are Jardine Matheson and Swire Group about to hold a press conference? That’s great. I was originally planning to ask you to organize a press conference, but now I can save myself the trouble. I’ll go directly to Jardine House!” Lin Haoran said with a smile.

Originally, Lin Haoran was planning to let Ma Shiming be responsible for convening a press conference. After all, he now holds more than 50% of the shares of the Hong Kong Land Development. If he does not announce the privatization of the Hong Kong Land Development, the China Securities Regulatory Commission will probably make things difficult for him again.

After all, Lin Haoran dealt a heavy blow to the British financial consortium in the Jardine Matheson incident, causing them to lose face and even lose face internationally.

Moreover, this incident happened to occur under the strict supervision of the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

Therefore, the chairman of the Securities and Futures Commission, Mai Si, is likely to be full of dissatisfaction with him and is waiting for an opportunity to use some small tricks to punish Lin Haoran.

Therefore, in order to avoid being caught by them, Lin Haoran must do everything to perfection.

“Okay, boss. I’ll wait for you at the Jardine House!” Ma Shiming replied. (End of this chapter)
