How could he not understand such a simple yet profound truth?

......

"Mr. Lin, how did you find out about our secret negotiations with the two major European telecommunications companies?"

Lin Dong's seemingly casual remark sent a chill down Huo Jianming's spine, who was usually composed and tactful.

Back then, I defied all opposition and planned to take advantage of the competition between the two major European telecommunications giants to sell "Orange Telecom" at a high price.

This plan was personally devised by him and Li Ka-shing, and outsiders could never possibly know about it.

Lin Dong smiled slightly and explained calmly:

"Mr. Huo, your Orange Telecom only ranks third in Europe."

"But whichever company, ranked first or second, acquires Orange will immediately rise to the top, far surpassing their competitors..."

"Under these circumstances, do you think Orange Bakery is worth anything?"

These few words deeply shocked Huo Jianming, a man of great composure.

Just who exactly is this Lin Dong?

How does he even know his own core thoughts?

"Mr. Lin, I'm convinced. So, tell me, how much can we ultimately sell this orange for?"

Huo Jianming suppressed his surprise and asked seriously.

"It won't be lower than this number."

As Lin Dong spoke, he held up one finger.

"10 billion?"

Huo Jianming was slightly taken aback; this was somewhat different from his ideal price.

It's worth noting that they spent a total of HK$4.5 billion (equivalent to US$500 million) to buy Orange Bakery a few years ago.

"Wrong, it's 100 billion," Lin Dong corrected.

"100 billion? You can sell that much?" Huo Jianming exclaimed in surprise.

"Not much. If the strategy is used well, selling several hundred billion more wouldn't be a problem."

“Well… Mr. Lin, let’s exchange contact information, and I’ll visit you in person sometime.”

"No problem, you're welcome anytime."

Lin Dong smiled broadly, his heart filled with joy.

In the news of his previous life, two years later, Huo Jianming indeed created the industry miracle of "selling oranges worth hundreds of billions".

He acquired the company for 4.5 billion, but then sold it for a staggering 180 billion.

This battle can be considered Huo Jianming's crowning achievement in the business world.

Lin Dong's words were actually quite simple in meaning:

He wanted to get to know Huo Jianming and then make contact with Li, the richest man behind him.

Next, through Li Ka-shing's connections, he directly entered the circle of Hong Kong's top tycoons.

Now that we've arrived in Hong Kong, a city renowned for its immense wealth.

Lin Dong wanted the underworld, but he certainly wouldn't let go of the legitimate business world either.
