Chapter 36: It Is Time to Formally Incorporate the Team

At exactly four o'clock in the afternoon, the iconic chime rang out melodiously from the adjacent trading hall, announcing another significant milestone in the day's trading session.

Lin Haoran stretched his arms lightly, a comfortable movement, his face radiating satisfaction with today's performance.

Although the detailed statistics had not yet been compiled and presented by Su Zhixue, as someone who had experienced the entire process firsthand, Lin Haoran already had a clear judgment in his heart—today's results represented a significant leap compared to yesterday.

Particularly in the battle for Wharf Holdings' low-priced shares, their operations had been exceptionally smooth, acting like helmsmen in the waves, precisely and powerfully navigating every buying opportunity.

Recalling yesterday, they had faced orders that seemed within easy reach; yet, just as they had locked onto their targets and prepared to strike, their competitors had beaten them to it. That sense of frustration and helplessness still lingered in their minds.

Now, however, that feeling of oppression and grievance had greatly diminished, replaced by a sense of exhilaration and relief.

This transformation was undoubtedly due to the expansion of the team and the enhancement of their strength.

Lin Haoran understood that the newly added strength was like fresh blood being injected, revitalizing every cell of the team.

What pleased him even more was that Dai Shi's trading capabilities were nearly on par with Su Zhixue's.

With two master traders fighting side by side, they not only complemented each other in strategy but also formed a powerful synergy in execution, driving the entire trading team toward higher goals.

This rapport and strength were undoubtedly the essential cornerstones of the excellent results they achieved today.

At this moment, a hint of regret flickered in Lin Haoran's heart. He wondered privately why he hadn't foreseen the need and taken action to expand the team sooner.

Unfortunately, he had been too cautious before, fearing his plans might be leaked.

Had he decisively increased manpower a month ago, today's achievements would undoubtedly have been even more brilliant, and their success might have far exceeded their current standing.

However, he was also acutely aware that there are no "ifs" in life, and no medicine for regret.

Though this regret was like a breeze brushing over a lake, stirring ripples, it also made him cherish the current results and the team's hard work even more.

He also realized that it was precisely these repeated challenges and reflections that pushed them forward toward higher objectives.

Thus, Lin Haoran quickly adjusted his mindset, converting this regret into motivation for progress.

"Mr. Lin, I have just finished compiling the data and am now providing a detailed report. Regarding Qingzhou Cement, we successfully acquired 648,000 shares at an average price of approximately HKD 5.16 per share, totaling a cost of about HKD 3.34 million. Compared to yesterday, this shows our steady positioning in this stock.

As for Wharf Holdings, today's acquisition process was particularly smooth. We successfully acquired 135,000 shares at an average transaction price of HKD 25.29 per share, with a total expenditure of approximately HKD 3.41 million. It is especially worth noting that compared to yesterday, our acquisition volume for Wharf Holdings today was more than double, which is indeed an exciting result."

Su Zhixue had also organized today's data and was reporting it in a clear, organized manner.

Upon hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Haoran's face.

He knew that while the slight rise in Qingzhou Cement was a good sign, the significant acquisition of Wharf Holdings was the biggest highlight of the day.

This not only reflected the accuracy of the team's strategy but also proved the significant improvement in the team's execution and market sensitivity following the increase in manpower.

"Very good, Zhixue, Dai Shi. Everyone performed excellently today. Also, I have something to say: the space in this temporary office is clearly becoming insufficient. Once the other three members arrive, we certainly won't be able to fit here. To meet the development needs of our team, I will begin looking for a more spacious office as soon as possible.

Today, both of you may leave early! But starting tomorrow, we will gradually formalize our operations and follow a standard company schedule—working from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Does everyone have any objections to this arrangement?" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

He had secretly decided that it was time to officially incorporate the team; the plan to register a company was already on the agenda.

"Mr. Lin, no problem at all!" Su Zhixue responded earnestly. "Over the past month, you have been very understanding of my family situation, allowing me to leave early every day to take care of my son, for which I am deeply grateful. Now that my son has recovered well, I am fully able to work regular hours and support the team's new schedule. Thank you truly for your continued care."

Dai Shi also expressed his agreement with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Lin, this arrangement is very reasonable. We have no issues at all; this is how things should normally be."

"As long as there are no objections, then you both head off early," Lin Haoran said with a nod.

After Su Zhixue and Dai Shi left, Lin Haoran sat quietly at his desk, clutching the latest data report Su Zhixue had given him.

These figures, combined with previous records, clearly showed an incredible number—as of today, he had already invested as much as HKD 51.67 million into the stock market.

At this moment, the account balance had quietly slipped below the warning line of HKD 30 million.

Despite this, Lin Haoran did not feel anxious or uneasy.

On the contrary, his eyes shimmered with satisfaction and anticipation.

Because driven by this capital, they had successfully accumulated 7.586 million shares of Qingzhou Cement and 582,000 shares of Wharf Holdings.

Such holdings not only demonstrated the team's keen market insight and execution but also signaled potentially massive future returns.

After putting the data bodyguard back into his desk drawer, Lin Haoran stood up and left the office, with new plans in mind.

Today, instead of leaving the bustling Central district directly, he took his two bodyguards, Li Weiguo and Li Weidong, for a stroll to a large second-hand real estate agency nearby.

His purpose was clear and direct—to find a suitable office space, though this time he was considering buying rather than renting.

As a transmigrator with a "prophetic" perspective, Lin Haoran knew the future trends of the Hong Kong real estate market like the back of his hand.

He knew very well that although the market might encounter fluctuations or even a crash like in 1983, the Hong Kong real estate market would always recover quickly and usher in even more vigorous development.

This ability to foresee the future made him realize that, in the long run, investing in property was entirely beneficial.

If not for his current limited funds, he would have even considered buying an entire building to serve as his office tower.

Of course, that was only a matter of time.

Lin Haoran believed that before long, he would own a commercial building entirely his own.
