After receiving Bao Yugang's message, the weight finally lifted from Lin Haoran's heart, and he went to rest with peace of mind.
Time flew by, and a night passed in the blink of an eye.
In the morning, not long after Lin Haoran had returned from breakfast with his two bodyguards, Bao Yugang unexpectedly showed up at his door again.
It was only just after eight in the morning.
"Uncle Bao, why are you here so early?" Lin Haoran asked, surprised.
"Haoran, I'm just eager to complete the transaction for the Whampoa Dock shares with you!" Bao Yugang smiled composedly, without a hint of embarrassment.
To prevent an unexpected surge in Whampoa Dock's stock price once the market opened, Bao Yugang decided to bring his people over before the market opened to finalize the deal with Lin Haoran, aiming to secure those 1.47 million shares as his own as quickly as possible to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
"Uncle Bao, please rest assured. I, Lin Haoran, never break my promises. However, since you are in such a hurry, I will transfer the shares to you directly now!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.
Regarding the price, they had already reached an agreement last night, deciding to use yesterday's closing price as the transaction price, so there was no need for further negotiation.
Lin Haoran currently held a total of 1.478 million shares of Whampoa Dock, and yesterday's final closing price was fixed at 75.53 HKD per share.
Based on this price, Lin Haoran would receive an income of as much as 111.63 million HKD from this transaction—that is, over 111 million HKD!
Recalling his initial investment, the principal Lin Haoran had spent on Whampoa Dock was only 40.94 million HKD, which meant his total net profit from this transaction reached a staggering 70.69 million HKD.
Even after accounting for various expenses such as taxes and handling fees, Lin Haoran would still firmly earn a net profit of over 70 million HKD.
In just over a month, he had achieved such an incredible increase in wealth using 40 million in principal; even Lin Haoran himself could not help but marvel at this extraordinary return on investment, which was simply unbelievable.
As of the market opening today, including the remaining approximately 7 million HKD in funds, his total available capital had reached a massive 118 million HKD.
Aside from his own initial capital of over 1 million HKD and the 5 million HKD support he later received from his two sisters, the rest of his massive funds were raised through loans, meaning he carried a debt of as much as 100 million HKD.
However, as of today, he firmly controlled a cash flow of over 100 million HKD.
This meant he was fully capable of clearing this enormous debt immediately!
Even more excitingly, after clearing the debt, he would still have over 18 million HKD left as reserves.
Furthermore, he also held 10.49 million shares of Tsingzhou Yingni!
Even at a conservative valuation of 5 HKD per share, these shares were worth over 50 million HKD, adding another significant stroke to his wealth map.
Lin Haoran couldn't help but feel sentimental; the speed at which money circulated and the ease with which it appreciated in the capital markets were truly beyond imagination!
Of course, he was also very clearly aware that although his current scale of funds was an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people, it was still just a drop in the ocean to the top conglomerates in Hong Kong.
Therefore, he did not intend to rush into repaying the debt; instead, he planned to use these funds as leverage to continue making waves in the capital market and earn even more wealth.
After all, for him, the first bucket of gold had been secured, but the real challenge was only just beginning.
The debt of over 50 million HKD to Yumin Finance Company was still more than 10 months away from its due date, providing him with an ample buffer period.
As for the debt of over 45 million HKD to Hang Seng Bank, its repayment period was even longer—nearly two years—which allowed Lin Haoran to operate his funds with great ease.
No rush, no rush at all!
After signing the stock transfer contract, a look of relief finally appeared on Bao Yugang's face.
He stood up and said to Lin Haoran with a smile, "Haoran, don't worry. I will immediately arrange for the finance department to transfer the funds to you as soon as possible. I guarantee the funds will safely reach your account before noon."
"Of course, I trust your character, Uncle Bao!" Lin Haoran was not in a hurry. Although there was no guarantor, he wasn't panicked at all; with the contract in hand, Bao Yugang had credibility and wouldn't ruin his reputation just to delay over 100 million HKD.
Shortly after Bao Yugang and his group left, employees began arriving at the company for work.
At exactly nine in the morning, Lin Haoran held a brief meeting as per his routine.
"Everyone, I have an important decision to announce. From this moment on, all our energy will be focused on the stock operations of Tsingzhou Yingni. We can moderately drive up its share price to promote trading activity, but it must be controlled at a level not exceeding 6 HKD per share. I require you to rapidly increase the speed of absorbing Tsingzhou Yingni shares. Zhixue, you will preside over the trading strategy. As for Whampoa Dock, from today onwards, we no longer need to give it much attention!" Lin Haoran spoke in a serious tone to Su Zhixue, Dai Shi, and the other three.
At this moment, he was full of confidence and possessed substantial financial strength. Moreover, since Li Jia Cheng had clearly stated he was abandoning the acquisition of Tsingzhou Yingni, Tsingzhou Yingni was as easy to grasp as something in a pouch. Therefore, he had to accelerate his pace.
"Understood, President Lin!" the five replied in unison.
They did not need to ask why they were reducing focus on Whampoa Dock, because they understood that in this game of chess, every move was carefully laid out by the decision-maker, Lin Haoran. They only needed to loyally execute orders and play their roles well.
"Alright, everyone, get back to your respective tasks!" Lin Haoran waved his hand lightly, signaling everyone to return to their posts, then turned his gaze toward Su Zhixue and said gently, "Zhixue, please follow me to my office for a moment."
"Yes, President Lin!" Su Zhixue responded.
Sitting in his chair, Lin Haoran looked at Su Zhixue, who was standing outside his desk.
"Zhixue, how is your son's recovery going?"
"President Lin, thank you for your concern. I took him for a follow-up exam last Saturday, and there are no more issues. Currently, he just needs enough nutrition to regain his weight." Seeing his boss show such concern for his son, Su Zhixue was somewhat moved, a warm feeling surging in his heart.
Hearing this, Lin Haoran showed a satisfied smile. "That's good. I am very happy to hear such news. Zhixue, through this period of careful observation and testing, I have deeply felt that your ability and sense of responsibility are both outstanding. Therefore, I have decided to appoint you as the Deputy General Manager of Huanyu Investment Company. Your base salary will be doubled. I hope you do not let my expectations down."
Su Zhixue's loyalty was as high as 100%. Such a rare quality would indeed be a huge waste if it weren't nurtured and utilized within the company's management.
The company was currently in its growth stage; although its scale was small, this was the perfect time for him to begin adapting to and excelling in a management role.
