In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 190 Don’t worry, I paid in full!

After hanging up the phone with Ge Zhixiong, Lin Haoran did not leave the villa immediately, but stayed in the villa until after three o'clock in the afternoon before going out.

As for the matter on the 13K side, there is naturally no need to pay any more attention to it for the time being. It all depends on how the other party treats this matter.

After leaving the house, he did not go to any of his companies, but asked Li Weiguo to drive directly to the Deep Water Bay villa area.

Today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion, so naturally I have to go back and spend it with my parents.

After returning from the United States at the end of January, he did not go back for more than two weeks except for a visit on the first day.

Lin's father and mother didn't say anything about this. They just thought that it was normal that Lin Haoran was now in charge of several companies and was very busy with work and had no time to go back.

Compared with the eldest son Lin Hao Ning, the youngest son Lin Haoran goes back home more often.

In half an hour, Lin Haoran's Rolls-Royce appeared in the parking space of the Lin family villa.

"Hao'er is back." Hearing the sound of the engine, Lin's mother came out of the house.

"Mommy, I'm back to celebrate the holidays with you!" Lin Haoran smiled and gave his mother a hug.

"Well, go into the house quickly, your daddy is waiting for you to come home." Mother Lin showed a relieved smile.

"Brother and his family haven't come back yet?" Lin Haoran asked as he walked.

"Your eldest brother called this morning and said he had something to deal with at the company. He won't be back until around six in the evening," Lin's mother responded.

Lin Haoran nodded and did not continue the conversation on this topic.

Walking into the first-floor hall of the villa, Lin Wanan was listening to music leisurely and reading a book carefully.

It is not difficult to tell from his radiant complexion that his physical condition is getting better day by day.

Apparently, since dividing the family property between his two sons, Lin's father's health has indeed recovered well after careful nursing.

If he continues to go out for social events and drink as frequently as he did in the past, or often stays up late to handle company affairs, his health will only deteriorate.

"Hao'er, you're back just in time. Come and talk to me about Wan'an Company." Seeing Lin Haoran come in, Lin Wan'an smiled and invited him to sit next to him.

Although he has been retired for some time, Wan'an Group is still his life's work, so he is naturally concerned about it.

"Okay, Daddy." Lin Haoran quickly walked to Lin Wanan's side and sat down shoulder to shoulder with his father.

Then, he began to talk about some things that happened in Wan'an Group in the past ten days.

For example, it signed a contract with Hong Kong Electric Group to jointly develop the land in Jardine's Lookout, prepared to develop the land in Hung Hom with Ching Chau Cement Company, and took over the industrial park project contracted by Aigo Company, etc.

"Hao'er, the Federal Building was renamed Wan'an Building. What's going on? Did you rent the Federal Building?" Lin Wan'an couldn't help but ask.

Lin Wanan knew last week that the Federal Building was renamed Wanan Building, but he never called Lin Haoran to ask.

However, he has always been thinking about this matter, after all, Wan'an Group was founded by him.

How could he not be surprised that a building that was once the tallest in Hong Kong was renamed Wan'an Building?

Lin Haoran’s purchase of the Federal Building and the International Building happened not long ago. It has not been reported by the media at this time, and the Wheelock Group has not announced it to the public yet.

However, since purchasing these two buildings, Lin Haoran directly changed the name of the Federal Building to Wan'an Building. Such a big thing naturally could not be concealed.

The Federal Building is an important part of the Central skyline of Hong Kong today and is very eye-catching, so it is normal for Lin Wanan to know about this.

"Dad, I bought the Federal Building, and the International Building nearby as well." Lin Haoran explained directly without hiding anything from his father.

"How much did it cost?" Lin Wanan couldn't help but continue asking.

How could Lin Wanan not know the approximate value of these two buildings? It must be sky-high.

Last month, Lin Haoran planned to take over the Hong Kong Electric Group. On the day Lin Haoran returned from the United States, he informed Lin Wanan. Lin Wanan was already mentally prepared.

So he was not surprised that his youngest son has now become the chairman of Hong Kong Electric Group.

But he was not aware of the purchase of two commercial buildings in Central.

And, to him, it was simply incredible.

It’s only been a short time since the acquisition of Hong Kong Electric Group, and they have already bought two valuable buildings. It’s hard to believe.

"A total of HK$1 billion was spent on the two buildings. The price is actually not bad. I think there will definitely be room for appreciation in value in the future, so I bought them." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"Hao'er, you are not going to use the shares of Hong Kong Electric Group as collateral, are you? Doing so is very risky. It will be troublesome if the real estate industry collapses. Repaying the loan will then be a problem." Lin Wanan said worriedly.

Lin Wanan was a cautious person throughout his life. Although he was determined to support his son's radical development strategy and no longer care about business matters, he still couldn't help but worry many times.

"Don't worry, Dad. I bought these two buildings with full payment and didn't borrow a penny from the bank." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

After hearing what Lin Haoran said, Lin Wanan finally felt relieved.

At the same time, he was even more shocked by his son's ability.

HK$10 billion, such a huge sum of money, was made so easy by him.

However, Lin Wanan, after working diligently all his life, has only saved up assets worth two or three hundred million Hong Kong dollars.

In contrast, the younger son, Lam Ho-yan, initially acquired Ching Chau Cement, then acquired the Hong Kong Electric Group, and then directly spent HK$10 billion to buy two commercial buildings in Central. These are things that he could hardly do.

Perhaps, the thing he had the best chance of doing was to acquire Qingzhou Yingni Company, but that would require all the money he had accumulated throughout his life to successfully acquire it. The gap was too big.

Lin Haoran had previously told him that he had made a lot of money in gold futures.

Originally, Lin Wanan thought that taking over the Hong Kong Electric Group was exaggerated enough, but now he realizes that the term "business monster" is no longer enough to describe his son.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanan's face showed more happiness than shock.

After all, no matter how powerful Lin Haoran is, he is still a member of the Lin family and the son of Lin Wanan.

After chatting with Mr. and Mrs. Lin at home for a long time, time soon came to around six o'clock in the evening.

In the kitchen, the servants were already busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

A car horn was heard outside, and Lin's mother immediately stood up happily and walked out quickly, as if to welcome Lin Haoran.

Obviously, his elder brother Lin Hao Ning is back.

After all, they are brothers with blood relationship. Although Lin Hao Ning used some shady means to win the competition in the past, Lin Haoran's vision has been improved a lot now, and he naturally will not care about those things with Lin Hao Ning.

He also stood up quickly and walked out of the villa.

Outside, it was indeed Lin Hao Ning's family. Mother Lin was holding her eldest grandson and kissing his face non-stop.

Eldest brother Lin Hao Ning, eldest sister-in-law Cao Shao Ling, and nephew Lin Jian Bin.

The person driving the car was Lin Yi, a man Lin Haoran was familiar with. This traitor had now become Lin Hao Ning's bodyguard and driver.

Seeing the young master looking at him, Lin Yi's eyes suddenly became evasive.

However, Lin Haoran didn't take him seriously at all. He just glanced at him and walked towards Lin Hao Ning with a smile.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you're back." Lin Haoran took the initiative and said with a smile.

"Well, Haoran, what time did you come back?" Lin Hao Ning asked as he opened the trunk of the car and took out a few gift boxes.

"I've been back for a few hours." Lin Haoran replied.

"Haoran, do you have a date? If not, how about I find one for you? My uncle's daughter, my cousin Cao Shaozhen, you've met her. She just turned 20 this year and is so pretty. How about I introduce you to her?
It would be great if we could become closer relatives and the Cao and Lin families could move forward hand in hand in the future." Cao Shaoling's attitude towards her brother-in-law Lin Haoran is now completely different from before. She even started to set her sights on him and wanted to bring him together with her cousin.

In Cao Shaoling's opinion, a truly strong person always makes people respect him, and even flatter him.

Lin Haoran's current achievements and status undoubtedly made her look at him with admiration.

The previous targeting thoughts no longer exist.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law, but I have my own plans for my marriage." Lin Haoran politely declined Cao Shaoling's kindness.

After hearing this, Cao Shaoling's face suddenly showed disappointment, but then she smiled again. After all, she knew that a forced melon is not sweet.

"Happy New Year, uncle." Lin Jianbin, who was already in elementary school, greeted Lin Haoran timidly.

"Happy New Year! Your uncle will give you a big red envelope. Be a good person and study hard in the new year!" Lin Haoran smiled immediately, touched his nephew's head, and took out a big red envelope from his pocket.

"Thank you, uncle." Lin Jianbin immediately smiled happily.

Although he was born into a wealthy family, Lin Hao Ning and his wife were very strict with Lin Jianbin and did not give him much pocket money.

That's why he's so happy.

"Let's go. Your grandpa misses you. Go and chat with him." Lin Haoran pointed at the hall and laughed.

Lin Jianbin immediately ran into the villa hall.

As night fell, the family had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in the dining room.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, so both Lin Haoran and Lin Haoning's family will spend the night at the Lin family villa.

Mother Lin knew that her son Lin Haoran and grandson Lin Jianbin both liked to set off fireworks, so she had already asked the servants to buy a lot of fireworks in advance.

With a crisp shout, the first firework was lit and whooshed towards the dark sky.

Then, it suddenly bloomed in the air, turning into countless bright stars, red as fire, green as jade, blue as the sea, and gold as the sun, interweaving into dazzling patterns, decorating the night sky like a dream.

Afterwards, more fireworks were ignited one after another. Some of them rotated into the sky, drawing elegant arcs, while others hovered at low altitude, casting down a silver rain curtain. Clusters of fireworks slowly unfolded in the night sky, symbolizing happiness, well-being and spring in the new year.

Lin Haoran also joined in and set off several fireworks in succession. This kind of relaxing mood was particularly good.

He looked at the fireworks blooming one after another. Amid the endless sound of fireworks, time seemed to stand still, and all his worries and sorrows were dispelled by the brilliant light.

At the same time, the sound of fireworks exploding was heard in other villas in the Deep Water Bay Villa District. The entire sky was filled with clusters of colorful fireworks, just like daytime.

"Haoran, let's go to the rooftop to talk?" Lin Hao Ning came to Lin Haoran and patted him on the shoulder.

Amid the loud noise of the fireworks, Lin Hao Ning's voice was very small, but Lin Haoran heard it.

"Well, go ahead!" Lin Haoran responded with a smile.

"Keep an eye on Jianbin and don't let him get hurt while playing with fireworks." Lin Hao Ning warned the servants before turning around and leaving the open space.
