Chapter 36: It’s Time to Officially Turn the Team into a Company
At precisely four o'clock in the afternoon, the familiar bell from the neighboring stock exchange trading hall rang once again, marking the close of another trading day.
Lin Haoran stretched comfortably, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
Although Su Zhixue had yet to compile the detailed statistics, Lin Haoran, having participated throughout the entire trading session, already had a clear idea of the day's results.
Compared with yesterday, today's performance had improved dramatically.
Especially in the battle for low-priced Wharf Holdings shares, their operations had been exceptionally smooth. Like seasoned helmsmen navigating rough seas, they had seized one buying opportunity after another with remarkable precision.
He couldn't help but recall the frustration of the previous day.
Time and again, just as they had locked onto attractive sell orders and prepared to execute their purchases, competitors had snatched them away first.
That feeling of helplessness and frustration still lingered vividly in his memory.
Today, however, that suffocating sense of defeat had largely disappeared, replaced by satisfaction and relief.
The transformation was undoubtedly the result of expanding the team's size and strengthening its capabilities.
Lin Haoran understood that the addition of new members was like infusing fresh blood into the organization, revitalizing every part of the team.
What pleased him even more was that the trading ability Dai Shi had demonstrated was every bit as impressive as Su Zhixue's.
With two highly skilled traders working side by side, they complemented one another not only strategically but also operationally, creating a powerful synergy that pushed the entire trading team toward even greater success.
Their chemistry and expertise had become the cornerstone of today's outstanding results.
At that moment, a trace of regret surfaced in Lin Haoran's heart.
He silently wondered why he hadn't anticipated this sooner and expanded the team earlier.
Unfortunately, he had been overly cautious.
He had feared that his plans might leak if too many people became involved.
Had he decisively recruited more traders a month ago, today's achievements would undoubtedly have been even more spectacular.
His accomplishments might already have surpassed what he had achieved now.
But he also understood that life offered no "what ifs."
Nor was there any medicine for regret.
Although the lingering disappointment stirred ripples in his heart, it also made him appreciate both the team's current achievements and everyone's hard work even more.
He realized that it was precisely these repeated challenges and reflections that allowed them to continue growing stronger.
With that thought, Lin Haoran quickly adjusted his mindset, turning his regret into fresh motivation.
"Mr. Lin, I've just finished compiling today's statistics."
Su Zhixue handed over his report.
"Allow me to give you a detailed summary."
"For Qingzhou Yingni, we successfully acquired 648,000 shares at an average price of approximately HK$5.16 per share, spending a total of roughly HK$3.34 million. Compared to yesterday, we've continued to build our position steadily."
"As for Wharf Holdings, today's acquisitions went exceptionally well."
"We successfully purchased 135,000 shares at an average transaction price of HK$25.29 per share, for a total expenditure of approximately HK$3.41 million."
"Most importantly, compared to yesterday, today's Wharf Holdings acquisition volume was more than double."
"It's an extremely encouraging result."
Su Zhixue reported the figures clearly and methodically.
After listening, Lin Haoran smiled with satisfaction.
The slight increase in Qingzhou Yingni's share price was certainly encouraging.
However, today's biggest highlight was unquestionably their success in acquiring Wharf Holdings shares.
Not only did it demonstrate the accuracy of their strategy, but it also proved that expanding the team had significantly improved both their execution and their responsiveness to market conditions.
"Excellent work."
Lin Haoran smiled as he looked at Su Zhixue and Dai Shi.
"Both of you performed exceptionally well today."
"There's also something I'd like to discuss."
"Our temporary office has clearly become too small."
"Once the other three team members officially join us, there simply won't be enough room."
"To accommodate the team's continued growth, I'll begin looking for a larger office as soon as possible."
"As for today, the two of you can leave work early."
"But starting tomorrow, we'll begin operating like a proper company."
"Our official working hours will be 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m."
"Does anyone have any objections?"
Privately, Lin Haoran had already made up his mind.
It was time to formally establish the team as a legitimate company.
Registering the business was now officially on his agenda.
"No problem at all, Mr. Lin."
Su Zhixue answered sincerely.
"Over the past month, you've been very understanding of my family's situation and allowed me to leave work early every day to take care of my son."
"I'm deeply grateful for that."
"Now that my son has recovered so well, I can absolutely work regular hours."
"I fully support the new schedule."
"Thank you for everything you've done for me."
Dai Shi smiled and nodded as well.
"I agree, Mr. Lin."
"The arrangement is perfectly reasonable."
"We don't have any objections."
"These are normal working hours, after all."
"Good."
Lin Haoran nodded.
"Then you two can head home early today."
After Su Zhixue and Dai Shi left, Lin Haoran quietly remained seated at his desk, holding the latest report Su Zhixue had prepared.
Combined with all the previous records, the figures revealed an astonishing fact.
As of today, he had invested a total of HK$51.67 million into the stock market.
The balance in his trading account had quietly fallen below the HK$30 million mark.
Even so, Lin Haoran felt neither anxious nor uneasy.
Instead, satisfaction and anticipation shone in his eyes.
Thanks to those investments, they had successfully accumulated:
7.586 million shares of Qingzhou Yingni
582,000 shares of Wharf Holdings
Holdings of this magnitude not only demonstrated his team's keen market insight and execution, but also hinted at the enormous profits that could await them in the future.
After placing the report back into his desk drawer, Lin Haoran stood up and left the office.
He already had another plan in mind.
Instead of immediately leaving Hong Kong's bustling Central district, he headed toward a large real estate agency nearby, accompanied by his two bodyguards, Li Weiguo and Li Weidong.
His objective was straightforward.
He wanted to find a suitable office.
However, this time he intended to buy rather than rent.
As a transmigrator blessed with knowledge of the future, Lin Haoran understood exactly how Hong Kong's real estate market would develop.
He knew full well that although the market would eventually experience severe fluctuations—including the dramatic downturn of 1983—Hong Kong's property market would always recover rapidly before reaching even greater heights.
His foresight made one thing perfectly clear.
Over the long term, investing in real estate was almost always profitable.
If he weren't currently limited by available capital, he would have purchased an entire commercial building to serve as his company's headquarters.
Of course...
That was only a matter of time.
Lin Haoran firmly believed that before long, he would own a commercial office tower that belonged entirely to him.
