In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 53 Tell them to ask Mr. Bao to come over and talk in person!

"I already know about this matter. Let me think it over carefully before you reply to the other party." Lin Haoran said to Su Zhixue with a smile.

He did not intend to respond hastily as soon as the other party took action. He felt that the other party should be more anxious than them, rather than him being anxious instead.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I'll go take care of other work first." Su Zhixue nodded in agreement, then left the office.

At this time, there were less than ten minutes left before the stock market opened, and Su Zhixue also needed to make some preparations for the upcoming workday.

Since stopping the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, Lin Haoran has obviously felt much more relaxed.

Now, he can spend most of his time leisurely reading books in the office and enjoying this rare tranquility. Su Zhixue would come in regularly to report to him on the stock market situation.

If an emergency occurs, his employees will notify him immediately to ensure that he can respond quickly.

In today's stock market, after two days of extensive discussion and hype in the media over the weekend, Wharf Holdings' shares continued to be the focus of the stock market.

At the beginning of the opening, the share price of Hutchison Whampoa remained firmly at HK$71 per share.

Subsequently, with the active operations of some investors and the promotion of public opinion, as well as the fierce bidding between the Pao family team and the Jardine Land team, the stock price soared before the lunch break, reaching around HK$79. The trading volume continued to rise and the market atmosphere was extremely active.

However, the over-excitement of market sentiment also brought confusion. Many investors seemed to be driven by the frenzy and chased the rise in prices. This behavior in turn caused considerable trouble for the Charter King Group and Jardine Land team when they further absorbed stocks.

The market generally expected that the share price of Hutchison Whampoa would break through the HK$80 mark today, but unfortunately, this expectation was not realized for a long time.

In the afternoon, as the follow-up momentum of high-priced purchases was insufficient, Charter King Group and Jardine Matheson Land seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and simultaneously stopped accepting orders above HK$75. This move was quickly reflected in the stock price, causing Wharf Holdings' share price to fall rapidly and eventually stabilize at around HK$75, disappointing many investors.

When the share price of Hutchison Whampoa soared to a high of HK$79 per share, Lin Haoran did have an idea in his mind to take the opportunity to sell some of the shares to cash in.

However, he quickly did a rational analysis and realized that even if he sold a small portion of the shares at HK$79, the increase would not be significant compared to the profit at HK$70.

More importantly, retaining that 1.4% share is crucial for him to maintain a dominant position in future negotiations.

Therefore, Lin Haoran finally decided to give up this short-term profit opportunity and continue holding the stock.

Throughout the day, Wharf Holdings' stock market remained as active and lively as it had been last week, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

In contrast, shares of Qingzhou Yingni appeared unusually calm, with its share price barely fluctuating and remaining steadily at last week's level amid the cautious attitude of both major teams.

Today's trading volume of Qingzhou Yingni stock is not much different from that of last Friday in terms of the number of pending orders. It is obvious that the market has not noticed that there are two powerful consortiums that are absorbing it.

It is worth mentioning that the team led by Su Zhixue achieved good results in today's Qingzhou Yingni transaction.

With the joint efforts of the four team members, they successfully absorbed 38.6 shares of Qingzhou Yingni, which accounted for about half of the trading volume of the stock that day. This means that if there were no intervention from other retail investors, the competition between Lin Haoran's team and Li Jiacheng's team on Qingzhou Yingni's stock could almost be regarded as evenly matched, reaching a delicate balance.

This is a good thing, at least it further restricts Li Jiacheng's absorption speed.

However, judging from the trading situation on that day, Lin Haoran had a guess in his mind: Perhaps Li Jiacheng has not yet devoted too many human resources to the operation of Qingzhou Yingni stock.

Otherwise, with the strength and experience of Li Jiacheng's team, the team led by Su Zhixue would probably find it difficult to grab half of the trading volume in such a short time.

This speculation made Lin Haoran realize that Li Jiacheng's layout in Yingni, Qingzhou might not be as tight or active as that of Li Jiacheng in another world. This undoubtedly provides some useful reference information for Lin Haoran in future strategic adjustments.

Lin Haoran secretly speculated that perhaps it was because he had started careful planning more than a month in advance and successfully absorbed a large number of Qingzhou Yingni shares from retail investors in the market, which caused the circulating shares of the stock to gradually decrease and the number of pending orders to decline accordingly.

Faced with this change, Li Jiacheng's team may have realized that it is basically impossible for them to quickly increase their holdings without increasing costs, and they can only fight a protracted war.

Therefore, Li Jiacheng's team may have made a strategic adjustment, temporarily reducing the excessive manpower investment in Qingzhou Yingni stocks and focusing the team on other stocks.

Lin Haoran knew that although these speculations were reasonable, they were ultimately just assumptions based on current information.

As a big shot in the industry, the considerations behind Li Jiacheng's decisions are often complex and varied, far beyond the reach of ordinary people to figure out.

Therefore, he understood that the only thing he could do was to remain vigilant and continue to pay close attention to market dynamics so as to adjust strategies at any time to deal with various situations that might arise.

At the same time, Lin Haoran was thinking about resolving the Wharf Holdings stock issue within this week. He hoped to use the influence of the ship chartering king to persuade Li Jiacheng to give up his obsession with Ching Chau Ying Ni stocks. In this way, he would be able to completely eliminate his worries.

After the stock market closed, he reviewed the stock trading information just presented by Su Zhixue as usual. Time passed quietly until about 4:30, when Su Zhixue stepped into his office again with a hint of urgency in his expression.

"Mr. Lin, the person in charge of the securities dealer called us again to urge us when they saw that we had not responded yet. They said they very much hope that we can give a clear opinion as soon as possible, and revealed that the Bao family is open to the selling price and is willing to negotiate further." Su Zhixue spoke quickly and his report was neat and tidy.

Hearing this, Lin Haoran couldn't help but raise a satisfied smile.

This continuous urging undoubtedly revealed the Bao family's anxiety and urgency. Obviously, they had regarded Lin Haoran and his team as rare "big fish" and naturally did not want to let them go easily.

"Very good, the Bao family's urgency comes at the right time." Lin Haoran said softly, with a shrewd light in his eyes, "Reply to the person in charge over there and ask them to give you the Bao family's contact information. You call the Bao family and ask Mr. Bao Yugang to come over in person to talk!"

At this point, Lin Haoran realized that there was no need to delay any further. It was time to resolve the problems of Hutchison Whampoa and Ching Chau Cement in one fell swoop to clear the obstacles on the road ahead.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhixue quickly nodded in agreement, then turned and left the office, ready to carry out Lin Haoran's instructions.
