Chapter 89: Taking Over Qingzhou Yingni
Khalil Centurion had mixed feelings. He knew that the "cash machine" era with Qingzhou Yingni would be gone forever, and once the stocks in his hands were sold, they would become non-renewable money.

"Mr. Halil, you don't have to sell. Transactions are based on mutual consent. Since you feel you can't meet my conditions, then there is nothing more for us to talk about. Please rest assured that I will handle this impartially, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission will also handle this impartially. Daddy, let's go. The board meeting is about to be held." Lin Haoran looked at the time on his watch. It was already 9:40 in the morning.

After saying that, Lin Haoran and Lin Wanan looked at each other tacitly and turned to leave.

This move was undoubtedly a subtle but powerful threat to Khalil Centurion, implying that if he did not accept the conditions, he would face more adverse consequences.

Lin Haoran also understood the importance of negotiation standards and was unwilling to push the other party into a desperate situation.

The offer of HK$4 per share he left behind not only reflected his determination, but also left Khalil Centurion with some room for maneuver.

As he expected, just as they were about to step out of the office, Khalil Centurion's voice came from behind, with a bit of helplessness and compromise: "Mr. Lin, I agree."

This sentence seemed to drain all his strength, making him look even older. His former arrogance and confidence were gone, replaced by deep frustration and depression.

Lin Haoran and Lin Wanan smiled at each other, then turned around with a gleam of victory in their eyes.

They knew that they had won this battle.

"Mr. Halil, you are right. With your age and experience, it is time for you to enjoy a peaceful retirement life in the UK. Please rest assured that I, Lin Haoran, have always upheld the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young, and will not easily touch your past. As the new chairman of Qingzhou Yingmud, I will take measures to properly seal past financial records and ensure a smooth transition." Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"Then let's make it a deal. I will encourage Ziegler and others to resign voluntarily to show my sincerity. I promise that I will do my best to complete all the things I promised and live up to your trust."

Halil Centurion no longer had the heart to deal with any further issues at the moment. He only hoped that he could go through this transition period in Qingzhou Yingni smoothly, and then return to the UK as soon as possible.

Even if the stock of Ching Chau Cement is sold at HK$4 per share, it can still fetch a considerable amount of money, which can at least provide start-up capital for business.

Perhaps, he can go back and look for listed companies in the UK that are easy to control and have good performance. At that time, he can repeat the routine he used in Hong Kong after returning.

In this way, the family's future expenses can still be worry-free.

"Okay, Mr. Halil, I'll wait for you in the conference room." After Lin Haoran said this, he and Lin Wanan left the office.

At this moment, the shareholders have arrived one after another.

They had already learned from employees' discussions that there was a fire in the company's finance office last night.

These shareholders all had unclear relationships with Khalil Centurion and received certain kickbacks every year, so they probably guessed something but remained silent about it.

Lin Haoran greeted them with a smile. Since they came, it was naturally a gift to him.

When he has money in the future, he will take over these people's Qingzhou Yingni shares and completely privatize Qingzhou Yingni.

But not now, there is no rush for this matter.

Not long after Lin Haoran and the other person left the chairman's office, he saw Ziegler and others walk into the chairman's office.

Ten o'clock in the morning, in the boardroom.

At this moment, the conference room was already full of people.

In addition to Lin Haoran and other board members, Lin Wanan was also present. In addition, the company's deputy general manager Burton also came to the scene and sat next to Lin Haoran.

"This meeting is a very important one for Qingzhou Yingni Company. You should all know what it is about. Yes, I am here to formally announce to you that I, Lin Haoran, officially hold 40% of the shares of Qingzhou Yingni Company.

My shares have been verified by the company, so there is no need to say more. Now, I formally propose to become the chairman of Qingzhou Yingni Company. You can raise your hands if you agree, and you don't have to raise your hands if you disagree.

Of course, considering the proportion of shares I hold, I don't care even if you all object, so, Mr. Halil, as the current chairman of Qingzhou Yingni Company, you should start presiding over the meeting!" After everyone gathered, Lin Haoran announced directly.

He knew that these shareholders were more or less related to Halil Centurion, so he didn't bother to be polite.

Halil Centurion stood up from his seat and looked at all the members of the board with mixed feelings.

"Everyone, I have an announcement to make. I, Halil Centurion, will resign from the position of director and chairman of the board of directors of Qingzhou Yingni Company. From now on, I will no longer hold any position related to Qingzhou Yingni Company. At the same time, I also propose that Mr. Lin Haoran take over my position as chairman of the board. This is my resignation letter." Halil Centurion no longer planned to continue with any procedures and announced the result very simply.

However, everyone had already expected this result and was not surprised at all.

The most surprised person was the assistant who was recording the board meeting. At this moment, she was looking at the scene and was almost stunned.

A major earthquake occurred in the Yingni High-rise Building in Cheongju.

The next scene shocked the young assistant even more.

"I, Ziegler, will resign from the positions of general manager and director of Qingzhou Yingni Company. From now on, I will no longer hold any position related to Qingzhou Yingni Company. This is my resignation letter." After Khalil Centurion finished speaking, Ziegler also stood up and announced his decision.

Then, the former marketing director, public relations director, and finance director also announced their resignation decisions one by one in the conference room.

Originally, when Khalil Centurion resigned, other shareholders did not find it strange.

But when they saw the next scene, even these shareholders were stunned.

What's going on? Isn't this just about Khalil Centurion? Why are the top executives resigning one after another?
You know, these people are all Halil Centurion's right-hand men in controlling Qingzhou Yingni.

Everyone looked at Lin Haoran, but his face was calm at this time, as if he had already expected it.

At this moment, everyone understood that this was Lin Haoran’s intention.

"Okay, in that case, I won't go through the complicated meeting procedures. Let's keep it simple. As the new chairman of the board of directors of the company, I formally approve the resignation of Khalil Centurion, Ziegler and the other five. At the same time, I formally announce that Mr. Burton, the former deputy general manager, will officially take over Mr. Ziegler's position as general manager. As for the three important senior positions of marketing director, public relations director, and finance director, the positions will be temporarily replaced by the deputy directors of each department.

Everyone, do you have any questions?" Lin Haoran said, and glanced around.

All shareholders remained silent, indicating their agreement. Immediately, a round of warm applause broke out at the scene. These shareholders were congratulating him as the new chairman.

"Thank you all for your applause. Since everyone has no objection, then let's end this meeting here. I won't waste your time. Let's adjourn the meeting." After the applause stopped, Lin Haoran announced directly.

Next, he still had a lot of things to deal with, so there was naturally no need to waste time in this meeting room.

After the meeting, the shareholders came forward to greet Lin Haoran and congratulate Lin Haoran and Lin Wanan.

Things have changed at Qingzhou Yingni, with Lin Haoran becoming the new chairman. Naturally, there is no need for anyone to have too much to do with Khalil Centurion anymore.

Now these people only feel regretful that they will no longer be able to receive benefits from Khalil Centurion.

"Mr. Burton, from today on the management of Qingzhou Yingni will be handed over to you. Don't let me down. You were also sleepy in the company last night. Why don't you go back and have a rest first?" Lin Haoran said to Burton, the new general manager.

"Mr. Chairman, I am very energetic now and do not need to rest. Although I stayed in the company last night, I did not get no sleep at all. I will go and handle the handover with Mr. Ziegler now." Burton had a happy look on his face at this moment, without any sleepiness at all.

"Okay, you make your own arrangements. Anyway, you will be the general manager now. But if you don't perform well, I will still replace you. So whether you can keep this position depends on your performance!"

Lin Haoran didn't say any polite words, because at this moment he already regarded Qingzhou Yingni as his own private enterprise. Although it has not been privatized yet, this step will be taken in the near future.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Chairman. I am very confident that I can manage Qingzhou Yingni Company well. I will step down first." After saying this, Burton hurriedly took over from Ziegler.

Lin Haoran took his father Lin Wanan back to the chairman's office.

"Dad, does Wan'an Group have enough funds to buy Halil Centurion's shares?" Lin Haoran asked as they walked.

"Currently, Wan'an Group is raising funds to fully develop a large real estate project in North Point, which is expected to be completed in two years. Once completed, we expect to earn more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars from this project. Therefore, Wan'an Group cannot come up with this amount of funds without borrowing.

But just because Wanan Group can't afford it doesn't mean I can't afford it. I've made a lot of money over the years relying on Wanan Group. Qingzhou Yingni shares are HK$4 per share, which is really a bargain. If they were sold outside, they would be snapped up like crazy. I have such a good opportunity, of course I have to take it, even if I don't have the money, I have to scrape together enough to take it. Good opportunities don't come every day!" Lin Wanan said with a smile.
