In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Chapter 77 Aimico Limited?
"Dad, you have always adhered to the principles of prudence and stability throughout your life. Although you have not been able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the business giants, your achievements are enough for countless people to look up to you. Now, your health is getting worse and worse. As your son, I don't want you to continue like this. Instead, you should retire from the business world as soon as possible and take care of your health. Since you don't dare to take risks in the business world, how about making a bet with your son? This can also be regarded as a new adventurous attempt for you." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"Oh? What bet?" Lin Wan'an immediately became curious and felt relieved by his son's concern.

"If I can successfully obtain the controlling stake of Qingzhou Yingni and take the position of chairman in the next two months, I hope you can bet the controlling stake of Wan'an Group and hand it over to me. On the contrary, if I fail to achieve my goal, I am willing to give up the position of vice chairman of Qingzhou Yingni, along with the 13.7% stake, and hand it over to you to manage." Lin Haoran said confidently.

"Hao'er, where do you get such confidence?" Lin Wan'an was very surprised and astonished.

"Daddy, I have my own plans and preparations. Now, it depends on whether you are willing to gamble with me?" Lin Haoran raised the corner of his mouth into a smile.

Lin Wanan fell into deep thought.

He knew that his health was deteriorating and the issue of choosing an heir was imminent. He originally thought that his eldest son had the greatest chance of winning and his youngest son had basically no hope of winning, but now it seems that the result is the opposite.

In other words, the heir is basically Lin Haoran, and he will not take back what he has said, otherwise he would be a failure as a father.

After careful consideration, Lin Wanan finally spoke: "Hao'er, since you are so confident, why don't I make this bet with you? If I win, after a hundred years, all these will be yours. But if I lose, it means that you have really surpassed me and have more outstanding business talents. I am willing to hand over Wan'an Group to you. Okay, I promise you!"

He has thought it through. If Hao'er can win this bet, it will mean that he will become the helmsman of Qingzhou Yingni in just two months. This achievement will not only surpass his position as the chairman of Wan'an Group, but also demonstrate Hao'er's extraordinary business talent and leadership.

This means that Haoer already has the ability to inherit and lead the Wan'an Group to new glory, and I can rest assured handing over the group to him.

"Daddy, it's a deal, you can't go back on your word!" Lin Haoran smiled brightly, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.

He originally proposed the bet just to give it a try, but he didn't expect his father to agree so readily. This was really beyond his expectations.

In Lin Haoran's mind, the controlling stake of Qingzhou Yingni is almost in his pocket.

He naturally understood the weight of the shares he held, and he knew that in the business world, strength was the key to everything.

Although Halil Centurion has deep roots in Qingzhou Yingni, facing the absolute gap in strength, all the so-called intrigues and networks of connections will become vulnerable.

"Hao'er, don't worry. Daddy always keeps his word and will never go back on his word." Lin Wan'an looked at his son's confident look, feeling both relieved and a little worried.

The business world is like a battlefield, and every step must be taken with caution, but he also hopes that since his son has the confidence and determination, he will be able to make a name for himself.

Which father doesn’t want his son to be successful, and doesn’t hope that his children can surpass himself and achieve a more brilliant career?
What's more, he himself has reached the age of forty, while Hao'er is in his youth. In his twenties, it is the golden age to pursue dreams.

He was also pleased to see that his youngest son had such ability and courage.

Maybe if Haoer takes a path that is different from his own, he will really be able to stand at the top of Hong Kong's business world one day in the future!
Lin Wanan originally wanted to know more details, but Lin Haoran did not do as he wished. There were some things that he did not intend to explain too clearly.

So not long after, Lin Haoran left the first floor hall and watched TV with his mother.

I come back once every two weeks, and it's time to spend more time with my parents.

"Hao'er, are you free tomorrow?" Lin's mother looked at Lin Haoran with expectant eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong, Mommy?" Lin Haoran asked curiously.

"If you are free, I would like you to accompany me to Xiangjiangzai tomorrow. You haven't seen your grandfather for a long time." Lin's mother replied.

"Okay, Mommy, I'll go with you." Hearing this, Lin Haoran agreed without hesitation.

From the memory in my mind, I understand that although my grandfather's family was not wealthy, he was treated very well by his family.

My grandfather’s house is on Xiangjiangzai, not far from Deep Water Bay. The easternmost part of Xiangjiangzai is right next to Deep Water Bay.

"It's settled then. I'll call your grandfather now and tell him that you and I will go there tomorrow morning." Hearing Lin Haoran's agreement, Lin's mother's face was instantly filled with smiles.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed quietly.

Stepping into Hong Kong in October, the air is still a bit warm, but the unbearable heat of midsummer has faded.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining gently. After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Lin Haoran was pulled out of the house by his expectant mother.

It was obvious that Lin's mother wanted to return to her parents' home, and her eagerness and joy were all written on her face.

The Mercedes-Benz slowly drove out of the Lin family villa and headed west.

Li Weiguo has never been to Xiangjiangzai, but there is actually only one road from Deep Water Bay to Xiangjiangzai, and there is no need for directions. It’s just that the road is not long and there are many bends. Although the distance is not far, you can’t drive fast.

More than 10 minutes later, the Mercedes-Benz car had entered the village where my grandfather's family lived. Although it was close to the prosperous and wealthy Deep Water Bay and also had the sea view of the southern part of Hong Kong Island, the style and appearance were very different, as if they were two parallel worlds.

The area around Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay is lined with luxury homes, displaying luxury and nobility.

Turning to Xiangjiangzai, a completely different scene comes into view: warehouses and factories are scattered around, the docks are busy, and small workshops and fishermen's villages interweave a simple and vivid picture of life.

It is amazing to see such a huge difference in environment within such a short distance.

Lin Haoran’s grandfather’s home is located in Wong Chuk Hang Village, Hong Kong, an ordinary small village in Hong Kong.

It is worth mentioning that the world-famous Hong Kong Ocean Park was officially completed next to the village in January last year. It has not only become a popular attraction for tourists to visit, but also has built an invisible boundary between Hong Kong and Deep Water Bay, separating the two into two worlds with completely different styles.

After becoming successful in his career, Lin's father built a magnificent five-story house in the village for Lin Haoran's grandfather.

With the booming industry in the Xiangjiangzai area, my grandfather's family lived a very comfortable life with the rental income from these properties without having to worry about their livelihood.

Although my grandfather is over 80 years old, he is in good spirits, walks steadily, and does not look old at all. One can believe that he is fully capable of living to the age of 90 or even 100 in good health.

After lunch, Lin Haoran chatted with his grandfather for a while, then went downstairs out of boredom.

I saw my uncle carrying a handbag and looking like he was in a hurry.

Seeing this, Lin Haoran stepped forward with interest and asked, "Uncle, where are you going?"

My uncle turned around and replied with a smile: "Oh, Haoran, I'm just about to go collect rent. Several tenants in the village should pay this month's rent."

As a member of the village and with the support of Lin Wanan, a prominent and wealthy son-in-law, my grandfather's family naturally enjoyed favorable living conditions.

As early as more than ten years ago, they had the foresight to purchase a large amount of land in the village, and now these lands have become the "cash cow" of the family.

Part of the land was carefully planned and rented out to companies that needed warehouses, while some was rented out to start-up entrepreneurs to run small workshops.

Rent?

Lin Haoran couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He asked curiously, "Uncle, isn't today the 21st? Why are you collecting rent at this time? Generally speaking, isn't rent paid at the beginning of the month?"

Hearing this, my uncle smiled and explained, "Oh, Haoran, you don't know that although most tenants pay rent at the beginning of the month, there are some special cases. For example, some tenants pay in the middle or end of the month, and some will slightly adjust the rent payment time according to their operating cash flow. Anyway, we collect rent in advance, so we don't have to worry about rent arrears. Today I'm going to collect rent from tenants who are almost due."

Lin Haoran suddenly realized and nodded, then a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "Uncle, I'm so bored staying here, and my mommy wants to chat with grandpa for a while, why don't I go with you to collect rent, it's a good experience!"

"Haha, okay, Haoran, then get on my motorcycle and let's go together!" said my uncle with a hearty laugh.

Although my uncle is over 50 years old, he still maintains the vitality of a young man. For villagers like him who come from well-off families, motorcycles are still the first choice for convenient travel.

However, Lin Haoran shook his head, pointed to his Mercedes-Benz parked nearby, and suggested: "Uncle, don't ride the motorcycle, take my car, it will be more comfortable this way."

Hearing this, the uncle laughed and did not refuse: "Okay, then I'll take advantage of Haoran and ride in your luxury car."

Having said that, he gladly accepted Lin Haoran's invitation.

Most of the tenants are concentrated in the outer area of ​​Wong Chuk Hang Village. Although it is only a few hundred meters away from my grandfather's house, it is troublesome to walk there because the sun is so strong.

My grandfather's land was cleverly connected together, making the rent collection work particularly convenient.

Following the guidance of their uncle, they first entered a small workshop that mainly made gloves.

Not long after, my uncle walked out of the small workshop with a happy face. It was obvious that the rent collection went very smoothly.

Lin Haoran followed closely behind, and he also felt that this experience was quite novel and interesting.

Afterwards, the group walked through the narrow alley full of life next to the small workshop, and the uncle, Lin Haoran, Li Weiguo and Li Weidong came to a small workshop at the back.

When Lin Haoran was about to follow his uncle in, he was suddenly attracted by the sign of the small workshop and stopped involuntarily.

"Aimego Co., Ltd."

He whispered softly, and the name seemed to touch a corner deep in his memory and seemed particularly familiar.
