Chapter 38 This Game Becomes Interesting

In the blink of an eye, time passed quickly and October 10th came quietly. It had been three days since he bought the office.

The office has moved to a new location, and obviously the better office environment also brings them a better mood.

After moving the office here, Lin Haoran simply made it his permanent residence and never returned to the Deep Water Bay Villa.

Although he has become accustomed to the tranquility of Deep Water Bay, he still feels that it is unique and comfortable to enjoy the prosperity and splendor of Victoria Harbour occasionally.

In addition, he also registered a company name: Huanyu Investment Co., Ltd.

Two days ago, my third sister learned that he was in Central, so she came to Central to find him in person and gave him a check for two million.

Lin Haoran received a check for two million from his third sister. Although the amount was slightly less than what his second sister gave him, he knew that every penny of it carried his third sister's deep love and expectations for him.

His heart was filled with gratitude, but also a little helpless. He could only accept this great favor silently and keep it in mind.

The stock market fluctuates like ocean waves, but in this unpredictable market, Lin Haoran and his team appear to be particularly stable.

Especially since Dai Shi joined, the team's collaboration efficiency and decision-making capabilities have been significantly improved.

Whenever the stock market closing bell rings, it not only marks the end of a day's trading, but also witnesses every progress and achievement made by Lin Haoran's team.

However, Lin Haoran's mood was extremely solemn at this moment.

At the close of trading on Wednesday, he keenly noticed that the stock trading volume of Qingzhou Yingni had quietly increased. Although he initially thought it was just a normal market fluctuation, such phenomena are not uncommon after all.

However, after three consecutive days of careful observation and analysis, he had a clear mind and realized that there was another wise man who was also eyeing the fat piece of meat of Yingni, Qingzhou, and that man was most likely the business tycoon Li Jiacheng.

Even Su Zhixue and Dai Shi, two experienced veteran traders who have been in the stock market for many years, came to the same conclusion after in-depth discussions - there are indeed people who have the same idea as them and are determined to make Qingzhou Yingni.

Fortunately, thanks to Lin Haoran's careful layout and active absorption of Qingzhou Yingni's low-priced stocks in the past month, the chips available for low-price selling in the market have been greatly reduced. This has undoubtedly built a solid line of defense for Lin Haoran's side, giving this invisible contest a better chance of winning.

In the past two days, Lin Haoran has been closely monitoring the other party's movements. He was able to keenly perceive that although the other party had strong financial strength, they seemed quite restrained in the speed of absorbing Qingzhou Yingni shares. It seemed that they were in a tentative absorption stage, or perhaps they deliberately avoided pushing up the stock price too quickly.

This is completely in line with the consistent prudent style of Li Jiacheng's team. They are good at quietly making plans in the dark and absorbing stocks in a low-key manner over a long period of time to ensure the smooth implementation of the acquisition plan.

Taking the acquisition of Wharf Holdings' shares as an example, Li Ka-shing's team demonstrated their deep patience and strategy. They quietly absorbed nearly 20% of the shares, which were not noticed by Jardine Matheson until the last moment. This is enough to prove their sophistication and prudence in the stock market. People can't help but sigh at their "shrewdness" and the "scrupulousness" of their actions.

As he recalled in his previous life, Li Jiacheng once used his keen market insight to quickly acquire 25% of the shares of Qingzhou Yingni, a company that was not receiving much attention at the time, in a very short period of time.

However, in this parallel world, the situation is very different.

Obviously, it will be difficult for Li Jiacheng to repeat such a feat this year. The reason is simple - Lin Haoran had already made arrangements more than a month in advance and quietly accumulated a considerable number of Qingzhou Yingni shares.

This means that if Li Jiacheng wants to quickly and quietly acquire a large number of Qingzhou Yingni shares through the secondary market, it has become an almost impossible task.

Unless they are willing to take extreme measures and snap up at high prices regardless of the consequences, this obviously goes against Li Jiacheng's consistent principle of steady and careful investment. Therefore, this change has virtually created a favorable opportunity for Lin Haoran.

On the surface, it seemed that Li Jiacheng was planning in secret, thinking that no one knew about their actions.

But in fact, Lin Haoran had already quietly seized the initiative through his understanding of Li Jiacheng's deeds in his previous life and his decisive actions, causing Li Jiacheng to fall into a passive position without realizing it.

In this stock market battle, Lin Haoran is the one who truly holds the initiative.

Faced with the reality that Li Jiacheng had already entered the scene, Lin Haoran sat in his office with a frown on his face, lost in deep thought.

He knew that the opponent was too powerful, so powerful that even if his father took action, he would have no chance of winning, and he had to deal with it with caution.

In order to grasp the situation more clearly, Lin Haoran turned to review the data report form that Su Zhixue had just submitted.

The report lists in detail their holdings of Ching Chau Cement shares: as of now, the total shareholding has reached 865.4 million shares, accounting for 17.3% of Ching Chau Cement's total shares. For these shares, they have invested up to HK$4396 million, with an average cost of approximately HK$5.08 per share.

Lin Haoran secretly calculated in his heart that if it weren't for the recent intervention of a third-party force, which made the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni shares more difficult, they could have easily exceeded the 18% shareholding ratio.

But now, the situation has become complicated and he has to readjust his strategy.

"Now that Li Jiacheng has joined the game, the game has become more interesting." Lin Haoran muttered to himself.

He began to think about how to break out of this stock market game, ensuring that his own interests were maximized while preventing himself from being calculated by his powerful opponent, Li Jiacheng.

The trading of another stock, Hutchison Whampoa, has been progressing very smoothly. The company has currently successfully held 95.7 shares, with a total investment of HK$2507 million. Benefiting from the low price absorbed in the early stage, the average cost per share is only around HK$26.2, which is acceptable.

However, behind the glory lies considerable financial pressure.

According to statistics, in just over a month, Lin Haoran's total investment in the stock market has reached HK$6903 million, not including other expenses of the team.

Of the original HK$8100 million capital, HK$95 was used to purchase an office. Combined with the huge investment in the stock market, his account balance has dropped sharply to HK$1102 million.

Fortunately, Lin Haoran also received a generous gift of HK$5 million from his two sisters, which increased his available funds to approximately HK$16 million.

Although this figure sounds impressive, in the current complex stock market environment, especially in the battle for controlling rights of Qingzhou Yingni, these funds are still stretched.

What's more serious is that Lin Haoran knows that there is a more powerful opponent lurking behind the scenes, which requires him to plan the use of every penny more carefully.

Even if you invest all your money in Qingzhou Yingni’s stocks, you cannot guarantee victory, because the opponent’s strength and strategy should not be underestimated.

Faced with such a dilemma, Lin Haoran had to re-examine his strategy and find a more efficient and risk-controlled way to enhance his influence in Qingzhou Yingni while ensuring that his overall interests in the stock market were not harmed.

After a long period of careful consideration, Lin Haoran finally made up his mind.
