Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1619 Beginning

When Han Li arrived at Knutsford Terrace Real Estate Company, Wen Bixia and Wang Xiaofeng were still filming on set and hadn't returned yet, Lan Jieying had gone to the market to buy groceries, and the busty woman hadn't started working yet.

Han Li had neither the mood nor the time to wait for them here. He chatted with the accountant, Kang Cuilan, for a while, then took the company's ledgers for the period and left.

After changing cars and clothes at Repulse Bay, they leisurely returned to Jia Hui Garden.

At this time, the Chung sisters had returned and were cooking in the kitchen.

"My husband is back."

"You're back. How was your day?"

As she spoke, Chung Chu-hung took the bag from Han Li's hand and put it away, then took out slippers and helped him take off his coat.

"As usual, my dad received an order for jeans from Australia today. The quantity is not small and the timeframe is not flexible. He plans to go to Luohu tomorrow to entrust the order to someone else."

Han Li simply nodded after listening. He was only responsible for offering general suggestions. As long as the company could make money and there were no problems when the firm audited the accounts, he didn't care about the specifics of how the company operated.

Under Han Li's guidance, especially after reaching an agreement with Pengcheng, Chung Chu-hung and her father saw the huge wage gap between the workers in the two places and started laying off workers at Hongyun Garment Company.

The workers who remain are all skilled and hardworking, specializing in producing high-end and exquisite styles for the Sunshine and Phoenix clothing brands.

Of course, the wages of the workers who stayed were also increased significantly. Those who worked efficiently earned more each month than the white-collar workers in the company.

That's why the company's current orders for ordinary jeans, shirts, and the like don't actually start production in Hong Kong; they're all outsourced to Pengcheng for manufacturing.

The company only needs to take orders and make money in the market under the name of "Made in Hong Kong". If it didn't have the Sunshine and Phoenix brands as its trump cards, what the company is doing now would just be a middleman making money out of thin air.

After Han Li changed his clothes and washed his face, Zhong Chuhong had already brewed tea and brought it to his study, as was his usual habit when he came home.

Han Li arrived at the study feeling refreshed. He first picked up today's newspaper and magazine and read through them. When he saw a series of ambiguous reports, he laughed.

Next, Han Li took out a pen and notebook, and began to organize the patterns of a certain event based on the information he had collected before.

He didn't put down his pen until Chung Chu-hung came to call him for dinner. He stood up, stretched, and washed his hands before sitting down at the table where the food had already been set out.

During the meal, Han Li chatted with them about some trivial things that happened that day.

As for the island getaway, Han Li and Zhong Chuhong didn't interfere; they left it entirely to his sister-in-law, Zhong Chudan, to handle everything, including site selection, route planning, creating lists, and purchasing items.

Zhong Chudan had been asking around all day about which islands were fun, but in just one day, she had only gathered limited information and hadn't yet decided where to go, let alone planned a route.

The next day, after breakfast, Han Li went out with the Chung sisters.

When Han Li arrived at a coffee shop, Attorney Jin was already waiting there.

The meeting between the two was quite simple. They first chatted about the company's recent activities and some news from Hong Kong. Finally, Han Li revealed his thoughts on shorting Jia Ning Group's stock.

Attorney Jin was extremely surprised and incredulous after hearing Han Li's idea. Most people in Hong Kong were aware of the strength of Jia Ning Group's stock; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was constantly rising. Especially after Jia Ning Group's first-half financial report showed a net profit of over 2 million, it had become very difficult for many people in Hong Kong to acquire a share of the stock.

Now that his financial backer is saying he wants to short sell Jia Ning Group's stock, Attorney Jin thinks it's practically absurd.

However, after his initial surprise, when Attorney Jin recalled the master's advice to this client and to himself, although he still had doubts and questions, the surprise and disbelief in his eyes disappeared considerably, and he swallowed back the words of advice he had originally intended to offer.

Because Attorney Jin decided to trust the master, and also to see if his sugar daddy was really as powerful and unscrupulous as the master claimed.

If this deal goes through, Attorney Kim decides to increase her investment in her clients.

If this matter falls through, it won't be Attorney Jin's money he loses; he'll also be able to confirm whether that master is truly effective.

Han Li was unaware of Attorney Jin's inner thoughts. After seeing that the other party agreed, the two quickly finalized the general process of the matter.

After Attorney Jin left, Han Li used the coffee shop's phone to call Anita Koch of the High T Brothers law firm and asked her to come to the coffee shop to discuss a business acquisition engagement.

Anita Koch is very quick to act when there's money to be made, especially since Han's commission is currently her most profitable client.

After Han Li hung up the phone, he took out a book on doctoral studies and started reading. Before he had even finished his coffee, Anita Koch arrived.

"Han, thank you for giving me another big commission."

Han Li: "Haha, Miss Anita, you're too optimistic. I haven't even opened my mouth yet, how do you know it's a big deal? Couldn't it be a small business like acquiring a convenience store?"

Anita Koch: "You're someone who can buy large tracts of land in Hong Kong. You would never look at such small businesses. Besides, those small businesses probably wouldn't even cover my commission."

Han Li smiled and waved for the waiter to come over.

After Han Li waited until Anita Koch's coffee was served, he took a piece of paper out of his briefcase and placed it in front of her.

This piece of paper lists everything related to the Jia Ning Group, including their taxi company, well-located hotels, restaurant addresses, undeveloped land, developed real estate properties, and film production companies.

As a lawyer making a living in Hong Kong, Anita Koch not only knew about the local Jia Ning Group, but also about its legendary profitability over the years.

So when Anita Koch saw what was written on the paper, she looked up at Han Li, her face filled with disbelief, much like Attorney Jin had just done.

Han Li ignored the other party's expression and did not interrupt the situation. After a while, Anita Koch finally spoke.

"Han, you wouldn't be thinking of acquiring these companies and businesses under the Jia Ning Group, would you?"

Han Li: "Is it not allowed?"

Anita Koch: "Of course not. Are you acquiring these properties to take a stake in Jia Ning Group?"
